Playing through FEAR again. Still getting the crap scared out of me.

this is soooo old school,

but i just found a gameboy advance SP version of Tetris in a junk bin for 25 cents.

i could never get the hang of it before - but now i'm addicted to the damn thing.

cant get past level 5 yet but i'm getting the groove ..

I'm playing Fable right now. I know that this game got ragged on a lot, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I just love how the villagers cower in fear and run away when I roll into town. Comedy gold.

Madden NFL '07

Completely fucking awesome.

Sonic adventure 1 (which is kind of like a dreamcast prequel to "sonic heroes" which was originally sonic adventure 2 on dc)
First time I've ever spent the time to play this game for more than 5 minutes...it's not BAD, but a little dissapointing, I personally thought this series suffered when taken into the 3d realm. None of the feel of the originals, but I suppose it's a little fun. Could be better though, there's some annoying issues, mainly cam-angle related.

REZ, also on DC.
This game gets right upside my head...I find I can't play it for longer than a stage without feeling like I'm about to fall into the screen.

"Just Cause" demo.........kinda like GTA on steroids.Imagine,if you will,parachuting from a helicopter, landing on top of a moving vehicle,jumping into the vehicle and taking the wheel, driving like hell,jumping out the side window onto the roof of the vehicle you were just driving,opening your parachute/parasail and jumping off roof,taking off into the sky guns blazing, gliding down and taking control of a boat......jumping off boat and swimming to the bottom past all sorts of fishes...........and this is just the demo.

What are the req'd system specs on that?
Wouldn't mind checking it out.

360 or PC?

360

the graphics are sweet with NO slowdown

not sure....read above post.

It was fun but I was kind of underwhelmed, I'll have to give it another shot.

Been trying to get into an rpg on DC called "Elemental Gimmick Gear", quite different to a lot of rpgs I've played, it's a little like wild arms?
Seems ok so far.

Hooked up the ole nintendo to a spare TV....been playing "Star Tropics".....i'm surprised I could get hooked on an 8 bit game again.

With emulation I'm constantly playing 8bit... love em! Bad News Baseball rules!

STAR TROPICS?
Looks like a zelda style rpg-ish game?
How does it play?

I haven't seen it on my roms lists, but then again, they ARE stupidly huge...

If anyone wants games, theyre tiny, they could be emailed...;)

Just like Zelda

Half-life 2: Episode 1

great game. great intense zombie action. :)

Yeah, I played it the other day on an emu running on dreamcast...it's not bad, but I thought it would be more rpg than puzzle/exploration...seems ok so far though, but not on my immediate "to play" list. I noticed a sequel also on the list.

When I get a better pc, I'll probably try this one.

I've been playing shenmue 2.
It's ok I suppose but thus far (disk 2 of 4), I don't like it as much as the original, there seems to be WAAAAY too much fucking around and waiting involved in this one. Could get better though, and I still like the ongoing storyline...we'll see.

as of current im still playing the halo online i just love gaming one of my passions <3

Madden 07, Dead Rising, Halo 2, Counterstrike Source... I wish I had more time to play games heh.

Dead Rising. Just got it, even though it's not out here until monday. So far it's excellent, not really playing it properly just going on a rampage and throwing custard pies at zombies!!

I was playing Leisure Suit Larry III just before

During this summer my and my friends had played (and finished) Forbidden Siren 2.....man we were bored as hell .... and the game din't help us to fell better, it's worst that the first part....if it could be posible

Just beat Dead Rising but now I'm going back through it and leveling up and doing the missions I didn't get to the first time around.

Yazuka

Starting playing X-Men The Offical game for 360 today.It's alright for about an hour then you realize how repetitive it gets.I dont' like how they got the cut scenes set up.

Halo.
One craze I initially missed.
I had tried to play it before but never really got into it, and just recently d/l'd it to give it a good go. Aside from the car thing being a bitch to control on pc (only the mouse turns it, and I can't seem to change this in the settings...) it's not a bad game.
I suppose it plays out in a decent sci-fi movie kinda way...I can see them perhaps putting this one on film eventually.
I thought this at first, and I still do - those little retard aliens that run around sounding like Gir from Invader zim are annoying, and stupid - completely wrong to the feel of the game and I feel they take something away from the experience.
The musical scoring is nice, and the locations and architecture of the structures is interesting and original.
The storyline is pretty good, I like how you were thrown into the reality of the game, nicely handled.
I heard some people had an issue with the "two weapons only at a time" thing, I personally don't, but I have to say I don't particularly like the range of weapons.
Nice bit of physics work for the effect the grenades have.
I'm not sure what it is, but how your character moves around feels a little...wrong somehow.
Having given this game a proper go after all this time, I have to say that it is a well made fps game. I cannot say I would give it the same legendary status that many others seem to have, but it's a good effort, and it's retained enough interest to continue playing...it's among the "good".

I guess if you've read this far into the "review" I'll give a couple of reccomendations.

*Star Trek: Elite Force 2
I played both, but cannot remember the first one all that well...however, this one gave a good impression. Excellent game. Perfect storyline, and some hardcore firefights. All the technology of the series without getting too geeky., the tricorder/scanner plays a big role, but it's fun to use. Great sets and REALLY good AI...Not to mention Tony Todd as one of the main in-game characters. Very good. This game will make you jump, some of the scenes literally play out like a good horror/thriller should. Knowledge of the trek series doesn't matter, the storyline is very well conceived and easy to follow, the characters unestablished.
The length of this game (for once) was perfect. VERY solid title.
Check it out, and I garauntee you'll be as surprised as I was.

*Unreal 2.
I never played the original, so I don't know how this one stacks up by comparison, but this here game is excellent in so many ways. The alien worlds are absolutely beautiful to look at, the missions vary from simple to complex, never overwhelming, never unrewarding. The storyline is one of the best I've yet to see in a scifi game, the storyline introduces some pretty cool characters (and one sexy holographic bitch...or was she a robot?), the dialogue is interesting and funny. This game can go from easygoing to completely intense within seconds, the combat in this game is also varied, dependant upon what you're fighting, a pretty nice mix-up....oh and the main badguys, the "skurgg" are just...evil.., scary, angry, and not easy to take down...they make the halo baddies look like bitched.
Visually stunning game, even by todays standards.
Well worth whatever the asking cost is these days or D/L...

The reason I mention these two games in short review is that even though HALO might've been newer and prettier at the time, I think both of these games did what Halo was going for, but they did it earlier, and (SORRY HALO FANS) better.
If you're a fan of Halo, I'd definately reccomend checking them both out, for a similar but alltogether different couple of games.

- B.

Like anyone is gonna read that ^^^

About as good a chance as anyone but your father being attracted to you, eh?
Stop trying to bait me, cancerboy...

You said that you dl'd Halo so you played the PC version no? The PC version never got the acclaim of the console version because it wasn't as big of a deal. Halo 2 is still the finest multiplayer FPS to grace a console and while Halo 1 was probably the best FPS single player experience on a console when it was released it really didn't stand the test of time like Halo 2 has. I went to play Ghost Recon with a friend the other day and that's when I realised what a difference Halo 2s matchmaking and party options made, still a great game.

Well, THAT I might agree on...but yeah, with the range on pc (king of fps, no contest), this one just doesn't stand out greatly.
It's good though, I'm enjoying elements of it.

Sain'ts Row

Haven't really put much time into it yet, but so far I'm loving it.

Those hitman missions are hard as hell though.

Just finnished "Fatal Frame 3". A little disappointing.

Next up: Silent Hill 4 - the room

Doom 3.

NFS : Most Wanted.

Manhunt

ghost recon advanced war fighter.

just finished tony hawks american wasteland...why birdman ...why?:mad:

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity

If you play The Room after Fatal frame 3 maybe you'll get bored of apartments. Otherwise, I find FF 3 great, what don't you like?

Anyone ever play deus ex 2? I really liked the first one...just thinking about it...I think I saw a demo of the second one, but never tried it at length (graphics card couldn't at the time), now that I can, is it worth hunting down a copy?

Well, compared to the first Fatal Frame it seems to me like the creators lacks of imagination and new ideas. The same was the case with "Fatal Frame 2 - Crimson Butterfly".

What i liked most about the 3rd game was actually the appartment scenes. They could and should have done a lot more out of that part of the game imho.
