What Game Are U Playing Right Now

[CrimsonFiend138]

"Fallout 3" ps3

Getting better and better, but i'd still prefer a new Elder Scrolls.

Yes, i'm old'n medieval.

Totally Agree.

Took advantage of my bro's xbox and high def t.v these past 3 weeks.

Beat Gears of war 2(Thought first was way over-rated, but I love both of them now).

Beat GTA IV. Started playing Orange box, Great deal for the Great Games.

So I loved fallout 3. As mentioned by Angra a new elder scrolls would be better(old 'n medieval myself) I was very surprised how short the story was, I got to the last part and accidentally saved(along with my auto save) and couldnt go back, so I had to go to an old save to go through alot of side stuff.

My bro played Resistance 2 and can anyone tell me why it was so great? Personally we both thought it sucked BIG TIME. I think it is one of the most over-rated games EVER and in no way should have gotten such high scores.

Left 4 Dead was pretty cool but I got bored after a while, I don't have online and thats the big draw but it was still cool and the random hordes freaked me out when you could hear them coming.

[Despare]

Been playing a lot of Fallout 3 lately. I can't remember a game in recent times that I've been so excited about playing through again as an evil sonofabitch.

[illdojo]

Call Of Duty: World At War on Wii. I haven't even played the actual game yet because I can't stop playing chumps online.

[CrimsonFiend138]

Metal Gear Solid 4.

Haven't played anything since my TV went tits up :mad:

I'm too lazy to move it to the other one

Playing through Fallout 3 for the 360 for the second time... Just trying to wrap up the quests that I didn't get around to the first time around and avoiding the really big quests.

Also just picked up a PS3 (the Blu-Ray player that we wanted was sold out so we decided to go for the PS3) and with it Little Big Planet.

It's cute, charming, but I got bored quickly.

Bored!? You seem like a creative person... make some stuff!

We need to play some damn Left 4 Dead. You should be on later (after the UFC fight...).

I think my attention span is just limited today, no knock of the game. I'm going to aim to get the boyfriend into Left 4 Dead tonight, too. Hope he doesn't mind my screeching. :o

I was just kidding, even with Gary's Mod I could only "build" for a little while at a time before wanting something a bit more linear in design. Remind me, on Left 4 Dead can I play on my XBox online with you and your boyfriend on yours? I forget if you're allowed to have multiple people on one console online.

That's a good question - I have NO idea. I haven't done anything co-op yet.

[Marroe]

Rock Band 2. I have got to be the worst singer ever.

[SodaGirl]

Zelda II: The Adventures of Link on NES, lol, I had never played a Zelda game before getting this one recently.

[Angra]

Played "The Lord of the Rings: Conquest" for 10 minutes the other day. The next day i returned it.

It did seem to play like a horrid piece of shit didn't it?

I've played better mods.

[Angra]

I would place it in my flop 3 of the worst console games i've ever played. And that says a lot.

I don't know about that for me (I've played a LOT of shitty games) but I will say that I didn't even finish the demo it was so bad.

I didn't even finish the training tutorial..

[cheebacheeba]

I traded in my old GTA collection and a couple other not-so-great ps2 titles at EB games. I always thought I'd want to hold on to the entire GTA series, but after playing 3, VC, SA, LCS, VCS and 4...well, I went back to play Vice City, and the control scheme was just so damn different back then, ha...kind of ruined it a little for me....although I kept my copy of San Andreas because it's a bit bigger, had a better control system, and well, I couldn't trade in the version I had on account of being something you could access "hot coffee" mode on?
I dunno...

So the girl got the latest need for speed which isn't really great on ps2 compared to other versions...she's taking that one back and choosing something else.

I got some "older" games,

The Thing which I think is great, never played more than a third of it last time though.

True Crime: LA, which I'll probably be taking back...seemed an OK game but the driving was just waaay too arcadey and crappy for me to accept.

Total Overdose - this one seems pretty cool actually, a keeper I reckon...it's a little bit GTA, a little bit POSTAL and seems to be pretty funny. Control scheme's a little different, but the kind I could get used to - bit like "gun".
Only played a mission or so thus far but I'll stick with my initial assessment.

So don't know what I'll trade TC in for, probably some fighter...but right now out of the ones I have, I'll more than likely get into The Thing again.

[Angra]

"Fear 2" PS3

[scouse mac]

Switching between Gears of War 2 and Dead Space

[Freak]

Playing the DLC content for GTA IV.

It's pretty fun.You get to play a biker in a gang.you ride around with your gang and kill other gang members.Have these really big gang wars which can be pretty hard.

But the best part is the bike races where you can knock people off there bike with a bat.Brings me back to the good ol days of
Road Rash.

[hacelikewhoa]

I still never finished Tomb raider underworld..Now I'm pretty sure I've encountered a game killing bug that everybody was talking about. The 4th level. I'm so pissed. Hopefully I can just redo the level. I don't even want to do that! The levels are too damn long.

[cheebacheeba]

ps2 - Run Like Hell
Bargain bin 2nd hand purchase...bit of an aliens ripoff, but overall quite atmospheric and good, worth checking out.
Lance Henrikksen, Michael Ironside, Kate Mulgrew and Brad Dourif play some of the cast.

I remember, I actually saw a trailer for this some years ago...always wanted to know what it was for. It's funny how you come accross things like that.

The combat leaves a tad to be desired but the storyline is cool, and the feel is there. Maybe worth a check out if you haven't yet.

Also played through "total overdose",a pretty fun max payne meets gta kind've title.

"Silent hill - homecoming" ps3

I was worried it would suck because of the switch to an American studio. Sounds like I was (thankfully) wrong.

Indeed.

This is a must-buy for all horror gamers out there.

[cheebacheeba]

Update - Run Like Hell has a ver, VERY cool sci-fi storyline.
I'd recommend it to anyone into horror/scifi.
Combat may be a bit simplistic, but that's the only bad thing I've got to say about this title.
Tense, atmospheric, great voice acting and a killer soundtrack.

holy shit, I hooked up the HDMI cable to the new 50 inch and WOW. What a difference.

Tetris :D .........................

[Azazel005]

Gave that Watchmen DLC game a spin over the weekend, pretty satisfying really. I didn't want to relive the story I just want to kick highly efficient arse. It delivered in that and got NEARLY finished before the inevitable tedium of beat-em ups kick in. Satisfied me, and for less then the damn Iron Man game cost me just because I wanted to fly around in armour fighting choppers after watching that movie.

[Posher778]

Getting close to finishing Dead Space... I'll be very sad when it ends. I love this game.

"Resident evil 5" PS3

"Resident evil 5" PS3

I heard it was the lamest, most unfrightening RE game so far. I lost interest.


In other news, I bought Bioshock! I'm starting it soon.

I would say the same about Bioshock. ;)


But yes, what you've heard is not far from the truth. The fact that it all begins in brought daylight does very, very little to the horror. It's just 2 people against a whole town of insane africans. I wouldn't call that horror, I would just call it action. Just like i would call the movie Gymkata an action movie and not horror.

Unlike the new Silent Hill which i coulnd't stop playing, i already had to take a break from RE5 after only 40 minutes. Gonna play again in a little while tho.

[ChronoGrl]

Getting close to finishing Dead Space... I'll be very sad when it ends. I love this game.

I had to put this one down. It was too scawwy. :o I loaned it to a coworker and I hope he enjoys it.

That being said, I think that Dead Space is one of the most gorgeously gruesome games that I have ever played. Wish I wasn't such a pussy. :o

...

I was playing Fable II for a while but, well, as you can see my rant in that thread, it frustrated me to a point of putting it down. There's very little substance or challenge in it. HUGE disappointment.

NOW I'm replaying BioShock with a higher difficulty level. Reminds me of how gorgeous and horrifying this game is. One of the best games I've ever played.

Please play Dead Space until the end. Best video game storyline ever... Truly horrific. Incredible finale too.

I think you have some wanderlust in your eyes there champ, it's passable considering it has wooden emotionless characters and a level of predictably along the same lengths as a Disney movie.

It's certain a gorgeous game, with all it's flickering lighting and well designed monsters. It's also very satisfying with it's high tech weapons and time slowing powers.

Though on the topic of it's story I found the movie/comic thing they released for it to be pretty entertaining the psychological elements were more shocking there I thought. You should check that out if you get a chance Posher.

In other news a just dusted off RE5, it was OK. The opening section is never really matched though, some nice set piece battles and some huge boss fights, in the end though it kind of just putters along with feeling truly compelling or horrifying. I miss the scary old days of the haunted house.

I can dig both types of horror games, the brooding atmospheric chillers and the action packed monster slaughtering simulators. There's the occasional game that crosses into both territories (RE: Nemesis really pulled the series from the creepy zombie game and injected tons of action IMO) but I try not to judge a game by the genre it's in, rather, if I have fun with it or not. D was creepy as hell but it was lacking a bit of the interactivity I like with my games, Clocktower had a similar situation going. Do I like those games? Sure, they had some really cool moments but I won't be playing through them again anytime soon.

[cheebacheeba]

The Thing - PS2.
I never bothered finishing it back in the day, got just past the first boss type thing as I recall...however, I find I'm a bit more patient now, so I'm giving it another go.
Forgot how fucking tense this game can be...it's really atmospheric and works as a great "sequel" to Carpenters 80's version.
Even though a little dated, I'd definately recommend a playthrough for anyone that wants to experience a pretty scary game.

Good stuff.

Just picked up Ultimate Spider-Man, and something called "Vexx" that I know nothing about (again, random "not so well known" stuff on ps2) which I might play around with a bit today, but I'll probably see The Thing through to the end.

- B.

[bloody_ribcut]

still trying to build up the uno rank.

[Despare]

I heard it was the lamest, most unfrightening RE game so far. I lost interest.


In other news, I bought Bioshock! I'm starting it soon.

Here's a little snippet from a quasi-review that might make a little sense.

"Playing through it again with Kiko, I'm still trying to figure out how the game isn't scary. I keep reading that it isn't, and everyone seems to agree with this thesis, but no-one ever says why. It's true that the game relies less on what you might call "Pavlovian" horror - it doesn't ring the expected bells. There is no haunted house, for example. There is a marked lack of jack-o-lanterns, and black cats are rare. When I run out of ammunition and five men are trying to kill me - one of whom has no head but rather a lashing, six foot trunk of slick vermin, I know that I personally find that unsettling."

[Azazel005]

I'll answer the question fielded in that quote Des. It lacks genuine thrills not because it fails to lean on "pavlovian" conditioning cliche's but because it's elements both allow you to kill too efficiently and the impact of it's monsters lack any sort lasting fearful impression after the thirtieth one you massacre. Also the shift from "Survival" to "Offense" makes you characters seem more like highly trained spec op zombie killers rather then victims fighting for their lives. Not necesarily BAD but not scary.

The exampled cited, I never once had to stare down one of those infected men whose parasite had morphed the mans head into a lashing tendril without a copiuos amount of ammo and explosives at my fingers. In fact I took on three or for of those things at once on many occaisons. The first time it was perhaps a bit of "FUCK what is that?" but then it's just one zombie against my shotgun. After that they pop up I waste them, busines as usual.

At times it is scary, the game can do a good job of keeping monsters popping up all around you and placing a tense sort of pressure on you, in full context though it doesn't scare you, becuase you just kill so many monsters and so efficiently.

Its not to say I didn't like it, and I truly love mercenaries mode, but it's not scary. Not in a condictioned response sense, nor in any genuine tension building desperate way that the first three delivered. I will add though virtually all of that applies to Dead Space in my opinion as well. In fact Isaac Hayes is even mroe efficient at killing with his time slowing powers and wide array of lethal useful weapons.

Are you playing it on the hardest difficulty level?

[Azazel005]

Are you playing it on the hardest difficulty level?

The default. Though it doesn't make as much difference as you might expect. I generally play any game based around shooting accurately on the base difficulty, while I have good reflexes I have poor fine motor control. I'd never be a very good sniper that's for sure.

I assume by hardest you don't mean the unlockable difficulty just the hardest available at the beginning. My experience with that difficulty was not really one of a greater strain on your ammunition but enemies will kill you that much faster, most in one or two strikes. It's just more likely that you will be killed by an enemy in your blind spot. It didn't really increase the tension, you just have to improve(after going through the game once and unlocking all the mercenaries characters I'd probably cruise through it) it doesn't change the fact that you will still be doing battle with hordes of enemies all of which you will need to learn to dispatch quickly and efficiently. Higher difficulty just punishes you worse for poor accuracy.

I could just try playing with an eye patch or a controller with a sticky trigger button, sure that might make the challenge greater but it's not going to change the balance of what goes on in the game Des.

There is less ammo AND there are less heals available at the harder difficulty levels, and while I haven't played through the game at that setting I have tried it and it does increase the dread. The eye patch thing is ridiculous, I'm not saying to alter the way you play the game but to try the harder levels that the developer has included to increase the challenge. I don't think RE 5 is a straight up survival horror game but I would classify it as action horror. I think it's great that they are delving into a different sub-genre but personally would like to see the claustrophobic, zombie filled adventures of the past revived... it's time. Ah well, I'll just have to grab Killing Floor when it comes out and play some more L4D to sate my zombie thirst. I still hold strong to my opinion that running away from a giant axe wielding maniac while trying to find ammo was exhilarating and RE5 isn't as bad as the rap it's getting. Every medium has their snobs and nerds though, and that's cool, but no matter how much you pontificate it will still be just an opinion.

EDIT: I do see where you're coming from, the issues you have with the game are not lost on me, I just disagree with writing off as a "horror" game completely simply because of the broad definition of horror.

[maxwellm]

Longtime gamer (like since before 1980), but don't have the time I once did for it. Play a lot of World of Warcraft, though not as much today as I once did (Horde, if you're curious.)

Picked up Left4Dead for my X-box yesterday. Played a little bit. Been playing FPS games since the original DOOM, but haven't played them for several years. It's an interesting transition back into them. Left4Dead itself seems like it wants both survival horror creepy and "unload the ammo you've got against the hordes" gameplay of something like Robotron (for you oldschool gamers). There's certainly a good dollop of creepiness and fear, feeling like everything you know has been overrun by psychotic masses that want nothing more than to eat you. I'll have to play it a bit more to really get a feel for it.

Though I will say that playing even with AI buddies takes a lot of the fear out of things. You're not alone, and even if your friends are robots, they're still there to help you out when a hunter lunges onto your face and starts biting down.

I love playing that multiplayer but the AI is a little boring to play with. The best parts are the final battles of the levels and witches who inject a much needed sense of fear into the game. I love blasting through hordes of zombies with friends only to hear a distant crying before yelling at everybody to shut their flashlights off.

I'd certainly still classify it as a Horror game, I just don't think it's scary. It's a pretty awesome game, and the example you cite there is a highlight, not too mention jumping through windows pushing a bookcase in front of the door then spinning back to the window fire down on the slow encroaching hordes on your tail in that same area. There are some truly great set pieces like that which are tense and exciting, but tense and exciting more in the vein of dancing around cover in GOW or diving out of lines of fire while your shields warning signs beep in Halo.

RE5 is a really good and for the most part satisfying game. I mean it is AWESOME to be a duo of highly efficient zombie dispatching spec ops agents. I just didn't find it that scary, as blithered on about ad nauseum. It's horrific, battling hordes of zombies risen from innocent infected civilians and tribal men I don't think one could say it is not horror.

Mercenaries mode too, THAT is some sweet very tense stuff. It's like all the best bits of the game in action packed bite sized bits.

I'd certainly still classify it as a Horror game, I just don't think it's scary.

No way dude, a couple of highly opiniated handsome devils such as ourselves would never have a misunderstanding, we just did that to provide some colorful discussion... yeah... that's it.

On the X-Box mainly. I have become strangely addicted to my gamerscore...

A beta or what? I thought Mafia 2 wasn't coming out until at least June (possibly fall) and the big "mob game" right now was going to be Godfather 2.

Never had a problem with my PS1 or PS2.

I haven't seen Pain, I'll have to check it out.

I usually buy systems early so I had a problem with my first PS1 (disc tray wouldn't close) and PS2 (early drives failed, same thing happened with my first XBox really). Even my first Gamecube had overheating issues and they replaced it.

[Freak]

Been playing Chronicles of Riddick: Assualt of Dark Athena and it's pretty much Escape from Butcher Bay just repackaged.


Also played Wanted: Weapons of Fate.Nothing new but the bullet curving is fun but gets pretty repetative.

Yeah, but after you beat the Butcher Bay part there's an inferior sequel tacked on.

[Angra]

Got me a new PS3.


So.... what is there to say about "Godfather 2".


First off, not much has changed since the first game, except your henchmen has got themselves some more personality and different specialities, which is cool. You actually care if they live or die now. Also, this time you don't start as a henchman yourself but as The Don of your own new small (to begin with) mafia family.

Where the first game was based on the movie Godfather 1, Godfather 2 is based on.... you know the rest.

Other than that it's pretty much the same all over again. You wanna expand, you wanna get bigger, you wanna get richer. Just like the GTA games... Neither the graphics has changed magnificently since the first game.

[cheebacheeba]

Never had a problem with my PS1 or PS2.
Most people didn't...but the PS3 OFTEN had problems, many...trust me on this, I saw the intake of these things for repairs...ridiculous...not quite RROD, but about a third of that, and accross all models (eg, unaddressed)


My chick and I have been playing Baldurs Gate - Dark Alliance on ps2. It's not a bad game to go co-op on at all.

Yeah I got it by getting a certain ending.I don't know if the PS3 version had it or not but the 360 version had 5 different endings you could get and they each gave you something different like a costume or a laser pistol,which makes hard mode a cake walk.

Loved Heretic and Hexen but they were not in the Wolf 3D series (although I think Hexen WAS a sequel to Heretic). Just first person shooters with some magic mixed in, badass games. I've never played the Plutonia Experiment but have played all those other game and LOVED Rise of the Triad, I remember the gore and flying eyeballs heh. If you want to try another early FPS game check out Blakestone (it had a subtitle but I forget what it was), cool game.

Quake 3 was the best of the pack , i think, meant specifically for online though. Quake 4 is a bad doom 3 clone.

[cheebacheeba]

Quake 3 was the best of the pack , i think, meant specifically for online though.
For online I can see how it would be...but for me, I'll say it again, if a game can't hold it's own without being played online, there's a serious lack of effort there. There IS a single player mode I know, but it just plays like a watered down online match anyways. That said, I think for games of this sort the UT series (or even just the first one vs Q3) did it better.

Quake 4 is a bad doom 3 clone.
That's a bit of a bitch to hear...I didn't even like Doom 3.
Ah well...I suppose it's cheap enough now to check out.

So I started on two games.
GTA: Liberty City Stories which I'm sharing with the girl.
and King Kong.

Liberty City is just run of the mill, even though it's a port of a PSP game it comes off as WAY more polished than GTA3 ever looked...kind of works like a side story/different character & missions to GTA3, the place looks the same.
It's fun...though I don't really like the selection of music on this one, as I can recall the next spin-off to come out was much better.

King Kong.
I'll start off by saying I didn't think all that much of the movie...it slightly exceeded my expectations but really just not my thing. I'll also say that I've thus far played as both the human and Gorilla - I HATE playing as the gorilla...while the swinging off trees is kind've cool, the climbing is tedious and the combat is pathetic.
The human mission though, quite the opposite.
It's not really an FPS though that's how it presents itself.
Once you get the hang of the buttons, and the feel of the game which at first just seemed weird, it's actually very good...love spearing things, ha...the limited ammo is great as it gives you a real "survival" type vibe, the atmosphere is
really well done and always keeps me on the edge of my seat. It's actually a pretty innovative game (in this part) with few faults.
My only real problem with it, is that it's a bit difficult/easy to die...I've died a lot.
But I'll be playing this one to conclusion if I can.

I'd really love to see this game on a high end pc - you can tell that it's just a BIT too powerful for the Playstation 2 to do as well as it could at the time of its release.

European people actually likes professional cycling. :D


And i think you're right about Juarez. Played it for to minutes, then turned my attention to Cycling Manager, which.... didn't really look exciting enough to get into at 12 pm. So now i'm watching a movie...

But i DID manage to bake a cake. :cool:

[cheebacheeba]

But i DID manage to bake a cake.
In your pants?

I'm about to have a go at a couple of games that people seem to really like...
Recently I obtained an original xbox incredibly cheaply. A few of my friends had/have this system so there was no shortage of games, and I borrowed some.

The Punisher - While I like the concept, and how this game conveys the story, I have a few problems that will more than likely make me end up not bothering to finish it. I've given it three stages so far.
*Your character is slow and clunky, I mean sure he's a big guy and all, but when you're walking around for my liking it just feels too damn slow - I get that it's an older game now, but I've played even older games with significantly faster movement.
*The rage mode or whatever, just seems stupid and pointless...sure it gets through a few enemies but I think the whole thing is just fuck ugly and stupid looking.
*No sensitivity adjustment for aiming - which I also consider too slow.
Other than that I have no real issues, though this kind of thing is more than enough to spoil an otherwise good game for me.
Another thing is that it's a console version, and I have recently confirmed to myself that I just don't like this style of game on console. FPS's, sure, I prefer them on PC but I can get the hang of them on console not so with the TPS's, with very few exceptions, they just feel uncomfortable to use.
I may pick up the PC version of this game to see if I can get around any of the aforementioned issues and better deal with the control system, as there were elements of this game I liked. The character I like, the storyline seems ok, using human shields and torturing folks is a bit of fun too.
Time'll tell, might get a much more favourable review if I play it on pc.

Manhunt
So, I finally got to have a look at this controversial title.
Didn't actually know it was a Rockstar game, though it seems right at home in their collection. I like the concept of this game, a lot.
I do not like a few things though.
*Control system...not being able to use the second stick to turn the view around with the camera, rather it goes into "look around" mode instead. I just don't like this, and many times found myself TRYING to get a better view when an enemy was approaching, only to fuck myself over in this manner.
*The sneaking around. I usually avoid "stealth" games but this one I thought I'd give a go as it seemed essentially more than that...but it's not really...sure you can fight but you're pretty much a pussy, even with a baseball bat that should have a guy down within a few hits needs to be employed about 14 times.
*The hiding seems WAY too hit and miss for me, and even though you're told at the beginning of the game that enemies are unlikely to hear you if you proceed very slowly, but any time they're within radar range, no matter what I do they go into orange alert.
*Sneaking up on them, annoying when they're walking faster than you.
*The "bad guy" dialogue is shitty and repetetive.

I like the concept as I said, and the overall atmosphere is very good...but unfortunately I'm pretty certain I won't be persisting with this one beyond a stage or two more. While I like being able to off people, I hate having to basically CRAWL my way through the game to make any kind of safe progress - proceeding just takes too damn long IMO, each small area stage taking some 20 minutes to complete safely, in all honesty I found myself getting more bored than anything. I'll probably switch it on once more today, but yeah, I think this is more a case of it just being a style of gameplay that I don't really like.
The Warriors, Max Payne, Canis Canum Edit (Bully), are IMO all better examples of Rockstar games set outside the GTA universe.
Bit of a pity...I really do like how they set this game up..

Red Dead Revolver.....

[VampiricClown]

Trying to finish up Timeshift and Jericho.

[cheebacheeba]

Red Dead Revolver.....
I remember playing one that came out around the same time "dead mans hand"? Looks kinda similar, but wasn't great - was RDR any better? Never knew that was under he R* lable.

I've rethought manhunt.
It had a saving grace - the ability to change the control system was actually present in this title (unlike how you CAN'T fix the sensetivity in the Punisher) and now I can use the left stick to move, the right stick to turn around.
It's SO much better.
While I'm still not entirely into it, as I don't dig stealth games, this change has made it easier to make a LOT more progress in the game, and it does present a challenge.
I have found what some of you may consider a more "legitimate" problem I have with it though...it's a bit damn repetetive...kind of reminds me of old atari games, the further you get it's just more of the same, but rising challenge. But yeah, it seems like thus far all of the bad guys pretty much behave the same...bang a wall, get them to approach, they look but don't venture into the shadows, they turn, you follow, you kill...I've done this about 20 times now.
However, they are now kind of in "packs" which has risen the challenge level, oh and I found a nailgun.
Still though, for as much as I like the concept this games still not really for me.

I have heard a bit about the second one...a lot of people seem to hate it on account of the censored kills? But the storyline sounds better to me.
Has anyone played it? If I go ahead and finish the first one I'll probably at least give the second one a try.

[VampiricClown]

I have Dead Man's Hand as well. I always preferred Red Dead Revolver. It's a slightly less dark kind of game, and feels like you're playing a Clint Eastwood type western. It's not the best game in the world, but it's better than DMH. The quick-draw segments are fun. Oh, and it's 3rd-person, not 1st.

I haven't played it, but from what I understand, all the gory bits are either blurred over, or gone black and white, similar to The Punisher. I believe you can un-censor it, by using a GameShark or CodeBreaker.

I used to have that game for PC.Still might,I'll have to look for it.Was a fun game at the time.

[Posher778]

Probably around half way through my first run of the Zelda franchises 'Phantom Hourglass' and loving it so far. The temple's could be a little tougher though... Maybe they will become harder, it's still fairly early in the game (I think.)

[Despare]

Wish I was playing Scribblenauts... I pre-ordered though so as soon as it comes out I'll be playing.

My lady just acquired a bunch of old sega games, so for now it's Shining Force!

[cheebacheeba]

Man shining force is the shit, one of my, if not THE favourite top-down rpgs.

[Caenxavier]

Yep...I haven't gotten far, but I cant sleep so it's videogames, movies apple spice tea and online forums. YAY!

[cheebacheeba]

GORT is the shit.

[Caenxavier]

I rather like Hans at the moment.

[cheebacheeba]

Yeah well, you'll see what I mean.
Hans is a good starter character, Gort is the old guy in the bar, might not talk to you straight away but trust me, check in until he does.
Also, asdive - don't level up your characters right away, let them continue getting more exp, if you level up as soon as you're able, they can be initially weaker in their second form.
So what, you're playing this on an actual console.

BTW - Playing the xbox remake of "conkers bad fur day".
It's an interesting game, but has some really stupid finicky shit in there too. I've fallen to my death SO many times, bad swimming levels, and areas that while completely accessible, will be useless until you've completed certain tasks...feels like a bit of a run around. That said though, it's a funny game (not sure about the n64 version for the following, but) graphically VERY nice, of moderate challenge and some interesting "boss" fights.

That is probably the coolest game I've ever seen - I'm now strongly thinking of picking up a DS.

Thanks for giving me something else to waste money on...;)

[cheebacheeba]

Very piratable system too that...no need for modifications whatsoever.
Yknow, if one were so inclined.

Yes, scribblenauts does look pretty cool...like, a sandbox platformer?
Of course I'm gonna try "piss" and "kill" "make fuck" etc etc
Maybe "black hole".
Or like...Jesus vs Allah hahaha

No, I'm playing it on an emulator. We have a console but it doesn't work.

Installing Left 4 Dead on my pc atm

[cheebacheeba]

I fucked off an xbox game called "darkwatch" which was interesting in concept, but
a: for some reason looked like a squished-in widescreen game (not the major issue)
b: It was just very repetitive.
It was ok, but got old.

I'll probably start the Scarface game next, I've done the initial level, it seems ok thus far, no real problems to speak of.

[ChronoGrl]

Just downloaded Point Lookout for Fallout 3 on the 360 (following a download of Broken Steel, so I'm able to up my character to level 30). Brilliant add-on. I feel as though I'm definitely getting my money's worth.

Hey they have been pretty good dlc's for the most part with the acception of Operation Anchorage.I haven't got Point Lookout or Mothershipe Zeta yet.


I am glad that Bethesda is consistent with releasing the dlc for this game.

I agree. This is my third DLC for this game so far; The Pitt was pretty good, though I think it was shorter/smaller than I expected it to be. I also downloaded Broken Steel - Definitely psyched that they are letting you go past Level 20. I think that that's a brilliant idea. Plus, the enemies in Point Lookout are fierce. Definitely a challenge. I didn't DL Operation Anchorage based on the fan feedback. Glad I saved my money.

FEAR - Project Origin

[Furankanshutain]

Right now I'm working on "Prototype" for the XB-360. This game is insane! What gets me even more is the amount of stuff going on with no slowdown.

There again, it's not "Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion" which is another fave of mine for the '360. But anyhow, "Prototype" is one huge fight after another, and anything can happen.

The only good thing about Operation Anchorage was the Gauss rifle.That thing was freaking sweet.

You say that now but alot of people start to hate that after awhile.If you ever do play COD4 I'll take you on then.


Just got the last two dlc's for Fallout 3 and beat them.Mother Zeta is actually pretty hard to get through.You dont find much in the way of good health lieing around.But there are tns of weapons and there is this room you go into that is just stuffed with tons and tons of goody's.

With Broken Steel, when you beat the game you wake up and can continue playing...

The Dark Spire for DS... it's a REALLY FRACKIN' HARD rpg, one of those original dungeon crawler rpgs. But I love it :D Even if it is nearly impossible to beat

Lost Planet (Xbox360) - Third person sci-fi shooter. Really cool
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (Xbox360) - ActionRPG but it gets kinda boring after awhile. I'm still determined to beat it though!

Cursed Mountain


This game is pretty shit. I had hoped for a moderately challenging, Resident Evil type on the Wii but the controls are crap and there is alot of aimless wandering without a map to find your way. Also, whenever you're about to battle a spirit they have a cut scene lead into it so there are no shocks or surprises.

Played through "shadow complex".
Those with a 360 - this one's worth the download cost - it's like oldskool revamped. Simple. Very fun. Few good boss fights. Hope they make a sequel.

I've been playing a fair bit of "Rocky Legends" which I have to say is one of the most fun Multiplayer VS games I've ever played - you have such beefy fights in it...right now just playing mindlessly in single player to try unlock everyone, there's like 40 boxers up in there!

Just blew through Dead Space and loved it! Thinking about picking up Resident Evil 5, but the mixed reviews have me a little leery.
Also considering playing through The Suffering and sequel again.

All-time best game is Worms: Armageddon and I've been playing that for years now.

Be warned. Apparently the new model is not backwards compatible which is why I wont be buying one. I dont have space for a PS2 and PS3. My 360 is from when they first came out so for mine to last as long as it did is quite impressive.

[p1zl3]

I'm starting over fresh (sold all my old games already) so it doesn't matter much. Plus I didn't have a PS2 so the backwards-compatibility doesn't mean dookie to me...

Kinda want this one, but it looks like more FPS with very little story... Is that true? Or does it have some story?

I'll be honest... story is only "meh", and its heavily weighted to FPS combat and missions. Not alot of thinkings; tons of shoostings!!! :D

With your aforementioned preferences in mind, I wouldn't see you enjoying it....

[Despare]

Forgettable story with some humor tossed in to make it a little more interesting. Very "loot" oriented, almost like an FPS bred with Diablo in the Fallout universe but decided to keep the RPG elements super light in lieu of shooting the crap out of stuff. It's a blast in co-op though.

Good to know. Thanks, Guys. It's not that I have anything against FSP's... I'm just really REALLY bad at them, so I need an interesting story or setting to get me through (or something like VATs in Fallout 3)... Bioshock, for example, I LOVED, but completely sucked on the shooter end of things.

And, well, Des has witnessed me play Left 4 Dead.

I'll save my money on "Borderland." The boyfriend might decide to pick it up, though, so at least I'll be able to try it out without paying for it. :D

...

Tried Sacred II today. Considering that this is a game for the 360/PS3 consoles, I find it a bit disapointing. Doesn't really do a lot for the grenre that hasn't been done by Diablo II YEARS ago... The UI is overly-complicated and confusing and I find it lame that you can't trade with people unless you're playing with them live, and that all loot is pre-allocated when you're playing with other players... Diablo II and Balder's Gate did it better.

Still enjoying Crystal Chonicles, though. Simple. Cute. Looking forward to Bioshock II and Dragonage for my more "complicated" games... Will probably get the boyfriend Left 4 Dead II for his Birthday in January.

[Angra]

"Assasins Creed 2" PS3

That's one of the longest and most boring intros i've ever played.

Slowly starting to get fun tho.

[cheebacheeba]

Well, myself and the chick recently acquired a couple of Nintendo DS's, and got these cool little devices called DSTTs for 'em, so I've had a fair few games to look at.
First of all, I don't think FPS games work on this system...at all...then there's the pissy versions of the games that come out on 360/wii/PS3, those are not really much good either, though the exclusives to DS are really quite good.
Using the stylus thingy is a bit annoying in some cases (prince of persia...click-to-go-here system) but not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be, and quite clever/intuitive in some other games, eg cooking mama.

I'm looking forward to playing the continuation of one of my favourite series, the title being "mario vs donkey kong 2" which is the third game starting with the gameboy/gameboy colour version of Donkey Kong, which if I haven't mentioned it is one of my favourite puzzle themed games ever.
Though, I'm leaving that one be for a while.

I saw a trailer of the game I've been getting into a while back, and I'm having a fair bit of fun playing it. Called "Lost in Blue", and is apparently a spiritual sequel to a series of games "stranded kids" featuring on earlier systems...though nothing to do with them really aside from theme, that being "Lost on a pretty much deserted island".
You have to forage for food, keep yourself warm, fed etc, while exploring the island, hunting for food (spear fishing with the stylus is difficult but fun), managing resources, building things, and basically staying alive.
It's not an easy game though..."learn by dying", I'm just about to start the game from the beginning for the third time. Though, it's a fun game and keeps you wanting more.
It's a bit like...Ico meets zelda.

[Despare]

First of all, I don't think FPS games work on this system...at all...

Try Moon, once you get the controls they're easy but it's not a lot of shooting, VERY atmospheric and a wonderful Adventure/FPS.

[cheebacheeba]

I have Moon and Dementium.
Not played either yet...but yeah the version of COD4 they had on there didn't look so great, and yeah you had to control it by using one hand on the left/right of the DS and one with the stylus...I honestly doubt my "ability" in a combat situation if this is the only control scheme available.

What other DS titles have you got into?

[Straker]

Left 4 Dead 2.

Just like a polished version of the first one. Haven't played through all the campaigns yet, but the few I have played are quality. The new special infected are cool too.

:cool:

"Assasins Creed 2" PS3

VERY slowly.. :mad:

[cheebacheeba]

Here I am with 100+ ds games, and I'm still just stuck on "Lost in Blue".
It's even a bit BORING haha, survival crap...but, something's hooked me to want to finish it.

Though I had a quick look at "wireway", nice looking bouncy puzzler.

Also the sonic games on the ds are IMO the first time since the 16-bit era that a sonic game has felt remotely familiar, like, what if they advanced the game in ways OTHER than 3d...
