We have an XBox thread so how 'bout PS3

I bought Army of Two instead

Ohhhh, I made that EXACT same mistake. That game SUCKED! I hope you like it though.

fighting games feel like 1-dimensional episodes of chaotic button mashing to me, I guess.

Well, that's where Tekken is different. Street Fighter and Mortal Combat always were 1-dimensional. But Tekken is an EXTREMELY complex fighting game. True, there are some who can do ok at first with button mashing, but that only gets you so far once you play someone who knows what they are doing.

Tekken 6 has taking things to a whole different level with online play.

Uh oh. It was a "Greatest Hits" release so I had high hopes. I guess time will tell - another friend of mine rented it before and really liked it. Luckily it was only $20. I'll rent Tekken to check it out; maybe it will make me a convert...

Has anyone else played "Fuel"? I like that one, post apocalypse car racing and bashing! YAY!

It's just not my type of game. That game really epitomizes what I don't like about 99% of the console games out there. Horrid 3rd person views mixed with trying to aim and shoot with an analog stick is not for me. Like Kenny said below, the frustration is just too much for me. The game looks good, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Console games should be like Metroid and Mario and Galaga and Castlevania. Basically, I'm just old school. I love me a good platform game. But 3D belongs on the PC. The only new console games I can get into are racing games and fighting games like Tekken. OK, enough of that.

OOH, Tekken 6 was waiting for me under the Christmas tree! 'twas getting bored with T5, was so happy to get it and have been playing it all week! Still haven't gotten around of going online though.

Get ready to get your @ss kicked. There are some people online who have the game mechanics damn near programmed into their hands. It would take some SERIOUS nerding out on my part to get even half as good. It's fun to try anyhow!
