What are you currently playing?

[Infernal Mass]

Over here i got some beyond good and evil going on in the xbox, and some Madden 2k4 in the ps2..

Madden is alright, i dunno how this game sells so well..i'm not much of a fan with these games..i'm borrowing it from a friend btw,..for vf4 evo...i already miss that game. Madden is deep though, really deep..franchise modes and all sorts of crap..i just wish there was a season mode..if there is one i can't find it cause there's so many other modes.. :(

Beyond good and evil is getting the most attention now though..excellent game! I was going to get freedom fighters but best buy ran out! I found this one though so it's all good.

[Sodge]

Prince of Persia (PS2). Well, I would be if it ever got past that damned loading screen. -_-;

[Spank-A-Thon]

R-Type Final and Contra: Shattered Solider. Old-School Shoot-Em-Up goodness! Mmmmmmmmm... :)

[Beretta55]

I've been playing river city ransom EX and medal of honor: infiltrator on GBA.
Then onimusha 3 and samurai warriors on ps2.
Close to beating onimusha 3 im just staying for the action since the story feels too hokey. I dont mind the time travel deal its just how people act it just feels over hammed and just silly. Eespecially that little snot henri,damn kid :P
Then samurai warriors is just perfect since i've been a long time player of dynasty warriors. But in the next entry they better overhaul it alot more,koei cant be doing this forever.

River city ransom EX is what i have been playing most,since i loved the original. This is just a excellent remake and still holds up.

Medal of honor: infiltrator is fun,but hard. i like the bird's eye view more compared to the last FPS gba venture. It starts out easy then gets harder with more enemies,tanks and grenades flying out of nowhere.

[Big Dude]

Right now Im working on Onimusha: Blade Worriors, .hack//Quarantine, and Final Fantasy X-2.

O:BW I've gotten all the levels, as far as I know anyway, and characters... just working on getting all the characters' weapons and costumes. Vary vary repetative.
.hack, well, not much to it, just playing it through... still at the beginning though. It dosent seem like its a vary interesting game, but it keeps me entertained -- goring around areas, killing monsters, getting nice rare items, yay.
And FFX-2... blah. Just gotta actually beat the end of it... start over, and try to get the 100%. This could go on forever... :disturb:

[kupoartist]

In between Revising for exams and watching anime, I've found time to play too much Unreal Tournament 2004 for the PC, mainly because there has been a whole load of Fan releases in the last two weeks or so. I'm playing a lot of the CBP (Community Bonus Pack) content in particular. Almost all the maps are constructed entirely from art assets created by the team - who of course, aren't paid for doing so. There is about 40 maps over two packs - about 600mb of content unzipped - covering a variety of themes that put even the retail maps to shame, and showing levels of creativity which are just... woah. One map (Reconstruct) has walls and floors which literally appear when you walk over or up to them. Great stuff. If you want some pretty pictures to look at - http://www.planetunreal.com/cbp/maps.htm

Aside from that, I've been playing Jailbreak for UT2004 a lot as well. The maps aren't anything special, but the whole "you die, you go to jail until someone frees you" gameplay is really, really fun. That game's directory now takes up 1/6th of my harddrive, with something like 200 maps. At £17.99, I think I got my value for money :D

As for PS2 games... I haven't touched my PS2 in quite a while. I may get FFX-2.. I may not. I'll certainly get MGS3 when thats out, but that's some way away...

[Vic Viper]

Devil May Cry on Dante Must Die mode. :pimp:

[DSgamer]

i stillh avent beaten dmc in normal mode :( im playing that right now, ive had that game forever i cant get past this blob thing i get sucked in and i have 2 fight a spider and then i die

[Vic Viper]

i stillh avent beaten dmc in normal mode :( im playing that right now, ive had that game forever i cant get past this blob thing i get sucked in and i have 2 fight a spider and then i die

yea, nightmare was a hard boss. heres a tip on the spider, equip alastor and a grenade gun. use your devil trigger, fly up "Air Raid" that the spider, if you run out of DT, use your gun to build up your DT, make sure you keep moving and dodging after each shoot. after its full use Air Raid again until that sucka dies.

here go to gamefaqs for some tips on how to stop nightmare..

[Nelo Angelo]

Or you can use Ifrit.

And use Inferno if you have it.

[demon666]

smash court pro 2, not a great fan of tennis myself but i found the game very good and very addictive, a great game, the gameplay is around about perfect id say, worth a rent definately:right:

[goodman]

Still playing Prince of Persia Sands of Time. I like the game, BUT, i must say i dont like the combat system. You work your way all the way to somewhere doing all kinds of jumps and stuff, and then you have to battle hordes of different enemies that just suffocate you and surround you, while you just have a few basic moves. Im at the point where you fight with the girl for the first time, and its getting me pretty tired of the game at this point. Getting whipped by all the enemies, and never even getting a chance to fight the Sand King, hmmm, not sure how much longer i will mess with it, but if youve got any suggestions, IM, let me know, the battle system has me pretty tired at this point...

[Berserker]

The little bit of gametime I can squeeze in with my injury goes to Forbidden Siren and of course as always RTCW:Enemy Territory.
ET is IMO for sure the best multiplayer experience ever, where are those damn awards???

[Infernal Mass]

i went back over to best buy and found a copy of Outlaw Volleyball for 9.99, so i went ahead and got it.

It's a pretty fun vball game, there's alot of different modes to mix up the gameplay..so it doesn't get boring..like hot potato; where the ball charges up the longer it's in play, and blows up after a set time like a bomb. Also if the ball hits the ground it plants a timebomb..there's casino rules where the longer the rally goes on the more money goes into a pot, it stops at 5$. Then whoever wins a set get's the money..whoever has the most money(not points) at the end of the game wins. There's sideout and rally rules the match setting change for every game in tour mode..which keeps things fresh.

Lots of characters..too many i think. Some are dumb..El Suave is cool though, and Summer too. :D That's the team i'm using..overall it's a pretty good game with custom soundtracks and xbox live capabilities. I'm trying to gradually unlock everything so when i get xboxlive in june i can play with everyone that has already beaten tour mode.


I also fixed my ps2 the other day by taking it apart and cleaning that little ring underneath the disc drive that all the cd's dvd's sit on. i was getting those dumb Disc read errors on everyhing except the silver ps2 games. Not anymore though thing is running like new..


goodman: Yeah the battle system is pretty repetative..that's one of the things they're changing for the sequel. I usually just try to mix things up by doing those sword lunges off the walls. Watch out for what's her name's arrows ..she killed me a few times. Also there's a few abilities he gains once you gain enough sand..one of them is that haste attack that kills everything on the screen.

[Daniel Legge]

Im currently playin Counter Strike on the pc quite alot i dunno why, on PS2 im playin PES3 too much, its almost unhealthy.lol. cant wait for Driver 3 tho........*begins drooling*

[merylsilverburg]

No one but anime fans would know this, but I'm currently playing Japanese only PS2 game, Get Backers: Dakkanya Ura Shinjuku Saikyo Battle. It's a fighting/action-adventure game where you play as the main character(s) (you play as one person and later, your buddy joins you) and go through the levels to...retrieve stuff for the client. It's all in Japanese, so I have no idea what the plot is...but thanks to nice screens, I can kinda get the gist of it. :right: Too bad the graphics are terrible. :P For a PS2 game, I thought I was playing a port from PS1. :peoples: Also, the enemies are pretty weird/dumb too (giant bats and werewolves??) :heh:

[Vic Viper]

i finally got beyond good and Evil, not far into the game but im really loving this game. :D

[Vic Viper]

btw, infernal how the did you get your name to glow :confused:

[Infernal Mass]

it's a store item, i'll donate some gil i forget how much it is..i think it's 2,000

[snake fr evr]

Right now Im playing Alien vs Predator:Extinction.
Its alright. Not the best on my list though.:)

[RobHardo]

Battlefield Vietnam
MGS2(havent playe din 2 years)
Red Dead Revolver
Socom II (300+ hrs logged and still goin!)
Ive got quite a list eh?

[neomarik]

xenosaga episode 1
teenage mutant ninja turtles
samurai warriors

[Sodge]

GTA Vice City (PC), Warcraft 3 (PC), Prince of Persia (PS2). I really need to buy at least one PS2 game and stop renting 'em. ;|

[Vic Viper]

just got Mega Man Anniversary Collection, capcom really did an awesome job porting the games to the ps2. it has mega man 1-8, and 2 games that hasnt been release here in the u.s. it also has footage from the tv series and some remixed music tracks.

mega man fans need to get this game now !!!:D

[Beretta55]

I have alot of games im playing at the momet.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Full spectrum warrior, Grabbed by the ghoulies, Thief: deadly shadows, metal slug 3, and beyond good and evil which i got today :)
all on xbox.

I'm also playing shadow ops: red mercury.....or WAS. since the game has bored me to tears, im taking it back soon to rent another game.

[kupoartist]

Sad to say, I'm playing System Shock 2 again. It happens something like every nine months... At least I usually find a new and intriguing way to play through... (plus, I considered it a neccesity if i'm ever going to write a plot synopsis for Puppeteer (http://www.kupoartist.eclipse.co.uk/puppeteer))

Occasionally I'll dive into Unreal Tournament 2004. I also have the Thief 3 demo... I was never massively into Thief, but at least this new one seems mostly faithful. They didn't quite give us another Invisible War failure...

[Infernal Mass]

Final Fantasy IV.

I'd really like it if this game were to be remade, there's a great story here. Cecil..his rise from darkness, and then Kain..Kain is one of the greatest characters ever in a final fantasy game.

[REChick14]

I've been playing many games. Lets see there's Fatal Frame which im stuck on, FFX ( I know its sad that I havent beaten yet but im trying. Im stuck at the area where I have to fight Jecht.), Onimusha 2, RE: Outbreak ( if any1 wants to know my sn for that game is RicanBatwoman24), Silent Hill 3, The Thing. On my cousin's Xbox I've been hooked on Rainbow Six 3. That game is tight. I enjoy that game very much. On ps1 Ive been playing Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

[goodman]

For RE Chick it should be more like what game are you currently not playing? :shappy:

[REChick14]

Haha very funny Goodman :sarcasm: lol Its true, I play too many games! I need to take a break...

[RobHardo]

PS2: Red Dead Revolver

PC: KotOR

XBOX(when I'm at my brothers house): Halo(haven't beaten it yet, short visits)

[goodman]

Getting near the end of Ominimusha 3 now, its been a fun ride, for sure!

[Infernal Mass]

scored rygar for ps2 and buffy for xbox..both new, for 5$ each.

Tried rygar out, pretty good, the game froze up on me though while going thru a door so i put it off..been playing buffy the most.

Never watched the series but the game is alot of fun, enviormental fatalities etc..can combine crossbow bolts with holy water.. I'm not too far into the game but if it keeps up the current pace the it'll earn a permanant place in my library.

[Beretta55]

Well as of right now i have shifted all my attention to a new game i got today. I bought skies of arcadia legends for the cube (i have the dreamcast version but i got legends new for 20 bucks) I played for 5 hours straight too. I'm going to push myself to complete this game since i hardly ever complete rpgs.

[kupoartist]

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'm considering ordering Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis to fill a tactics shaped hole :)

[Infernal Mass]

Final Fantasy IV..

this game is kinda tough, i'm at Zeromus now and he is kicking my ass so bad..i think i need to go back and do some leveling up before fighting him again..

[Berserker]

I hardly have any gaming time anymore, but when I do I try to pick up Siren again. I have been playing some Full Spectrum Warrior at my girl's house but it's just not my kind of game I hate it when I'm not totally in control. When you had problems with SOCOM l considering the teammate thingy don't even bother with FSW.

[Billyum7]

I am playing red dead revolver on bounty hunter mode now!.

[Nelo Angelo]

Right now, I'd say I'm playing the following....

Legaia 2: Duel Saga
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patroits
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Super Metroid
Super Castlevania IV
F-Zero

Yea, I brought out my old SNES again. :O

[happy_doughnut]

*sniff* Wow. You guys are playing so many games... It makes me sad. My summer is already halfway over and all I've played is Rival Schools 2. XD I really need to stop playing this.
I seriously just cannot find the time to play, and the worst part is that I do nothing all day. XD Vah!

I'm eagerly waiting for this thursday, when my brother will be leaving... which will thus mean more time for me to play. :) Yay.

So, come later this week, I will be playing these:

Super Valis IV
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy X-2
Legend of Legaia

Yep. Yep. I think I'm going to go get started and play Skies of Arcadia for the DC before Nelo takes his knife out again. Eek! :S

[merylsilverburg]

Yep. Yep. I think I'm going to go get started and play Skies of Arcadia for the DC before Nelo takes his knife out again. Eek! :S

God yes, you must play this game Mena! This is one of the best RPGs...well, at least to me. I just beat it about three weeks ago (I finally did it after taking about a 3 year break :laugh: ) and it's just...fantastic.

Right now, I'm playing "Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords" for the GC. Multiplaying with my sister which makes it hilarious and frustrating since she doesn't play games much, so I'm basically shouting commands to her: "Grab the key!" "Switch formations!" "Follow me here! No, no here!" :laugh:

[Vic Viper]

i just got the ps2 version of Viewtiful Joe, i was looking forward to playing dante but he has to be unlock first, oh well im having a blast playing with joe. :)

[Sodge]

VJ was released for PS2 in America? Last I heard Sony America was all, "Oh, since we're trendy and 'now' we're not releasing Viewtiful Joe since it's 2D and no one plays that shit anymore!"

[Vic Viper]

VJ was released for PS2 in America? Last I heard Sony America was all, "Oh, since we're trendy and 'now' we're not releasing Viewtiful Joe since it's 2D and no one plays that shit anymore!"

yes, just came out a couple of days ago. and sony isnt anti 2d. theres still alot of 2d games being release in the future. and the ps2 still has the most 2d games of all the next gen console. that anti 2d policy was just bs.:)

[goodman]

Still playing Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance 2, and as ive mentioned more than once, this game totally rocks! Well worth the money!

[merylsilverburg]

Currently playing Curry House Coco Ichibanya, a Japanese game. The game requires you to run a curry house in Japan with annoying customers requesting this and that (wow, just like in real life :laugh: ). I'm stuck on the final level (14) and it's so difficult because I'm all by myself and running around, taking orders, making the food, delivering the food...:weep:

[GuRu]

The game GuRu is currently playing is socom 2 online.

[~Desi~]

Just got the hobbit like two days ago. Seems like a pretty good game so far. The grpahics are really cool but the game play is decent so far. I don't if i'll think this after I get some new games.

[GIR ^^]

Resident Evil 1. Did they re-make it, cause the graphics are pretty good. Yeah, well somehow my ink ribbon disappeared and I cant save it! Bah! :yell:

[merylsilverburg]

Playing THUG 2 right now and I can't say that I feel too happy about it. It's pretty much similar to the first game except the whole "World Destruction Tour" thing with Team Hawk vs. Team Bam. That's pretty cool but for some reason, I don't seem to like the challenges this time around.
I really like THUG 1 a lot.

[Pu the Owl]

The Sims 2. Not a PS2 game though...

[GuRu]

I'm currently playing halo, samuri warriors, battlefront all for xbox.

[MADRUCKIS]

battlefront, nba 05, halo, broken arrow

[Aubrey McFatum]

Miss meryl, where do you get Japanese games? My sister is obsessed with Japanese stuff, but usually she can't find much, especially in local stores. I've read more than a post where you say you get consoles and related stuff from Japan, I'd like to know where do you get them, so I maybe will be able to buy an original present for my sister's birthday :D

[Hylas]

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon.

[baumer]

Soul Calibur II - One of the most addictive games ever!

[Zync]

im playing Kingdom hearts right now.. (once im done with it the pain is finally over)

[Aubrey McFatum]

Playing FF Tactics for the GBA. Don't have much time to sit in front of the console, so I'm bringing games with me.

[Beretta55]

Right now im playing Kingdom underfire: the crusades and Paper Mario: the thousand year door.

[goodman]

STAR OCEAN for ps2

[Vic Viper]

i just got Ace Combat 5, im having a blast with it, much better than 4 thats for sure.:)

[squirms_619]

Is star ocean a good game? It looks good anyway i'm playing ff9 for like the 20th time but it still hasn't bored me yet.

[goodman]

i just got Ace Combat 5, im having a blast with it, much better than 4 thats for sure.:)


Thats good to know, i will check into it eventually. Yeah i think Star Ocean is a good game, and do recommend it so far......... but ive got a long long ways to go, its two disc....

[Meiko]

Playing Drakan :)

[happy_doughnut]

I've been skipping some homeworks and playing some games. I've decided to become a housewife, so it's A-Ok to slack off. :D

Lately I've been playing mini-sessions of the GC game: Tales of Symphonia.. It's a super cool game. I love it. :love: Last night I started to play it at around 1 am and got kinda... uhm, sucked. XD When I realized it I had played for 7 hours straight. Now I'm here in school, half asleep. Eek!

But it's worth it, really. It's such an engrossing game. :)

I need to play a game to the PS2. For some reason I haven't bought one in months, but now I want one. I'm thinking about Star Ocean 2 (any suggestions?), so I might be playing that soon. !!

[goodman]

I played Star Ocean for a few more hours today, and im getting a good feel for the game. So far its been fun, for sure, im glad i got this game. The graphics are really high quality, the storyline is quite fun, and interesting, and i think there is a lot here to work with. I will let you know more as i go along, i think its a keeper, it is the most popular ps2 game on the gamefaqs boards...

[Infernal Mass]

I've decided to become a housewife, so it's A-Ok to slack off. :D !!


hmm, I think they call'em home-makers now, housewife sounds like a term from the late 1960's kinda, so they made it sound all proffesional by calling them home-makers instead..yes, of course i was there when they voted for the change a few years ago.

anyways, that's a bad profession mena! :(

just imagine a few years down the line, you be all kicking back with playstation 4.. and then your husband walks in and is all..

:grumpy: Hey, I'm hungry!.. make me some biscuits!!..make sure they're extra fluffy too!!..rarrgh!

:weep: then you burn your hand or something..



- i'm playing thru san andreas right now, taking my time too. yep no rush here :D

[happy_doughnut]

Oh, that's Ok!

I mean, I said that I was going to be a housewife, but I didn't say I was going to be a good one! :grin: 'Sides, my biscuits are great. You're just trying to talk me out of it cause you're jealous that you're gonna marry, like, a cow doctor or something. And cause she's not going to be home, cooking you some warm, fluffly biscuits!

THAT'S right! And I'm going to put butter in them too! You... you can go make yourself some Hot Pockets. Or... *dun dun dun dun* Cup of Noodles! :lol:

I know you were there when they voted... I can't believe you voted against the proposition. Hmph! Trying to demean us and everything. Go burn your Hot Pockets. :tongue:

*AHEM*

Hey, has anyone played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door or something? I read this thread through, and I think Berrta has/is playing it, but alas, he doesn't seem to post much anymore. I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm not sure. Any tips?

As for right now, I'm still playing ToS and I recently picked up a copy of Neo Contra. Haven't had time to try it out yet, but I plan to do so this weekend... I hope. :P

[Beretta55]

Hey, i post but just on moderation. XD
But Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door is worth getting (its quite lengthy which is a surprise) If there's anything specific you want to know just ask.

I'm still playing paper mario 2 and just recently Halo 2.

[merylsilverburg]

just imagine a few years down the line, you be all kicking back with playstation 4.. and then your husband walks in and is all..

:grumpy: Hey, I'm hungry!.. make me some biscuits!!..make sure they're extra fluffy too!!..rarrgh!

:weep: then you burn your hand or something..

Sorry, I hate to barge in this conversation, but this just made me laugh so hard. *wipes tears from eyes* :roflmao:

Anyway, right now playing through GTA: San Andreas. I'm actually kinda in a rush and trying to get through the game because MGS3 is about to come out and believe me peoples...I need all the time for that game! :laugh:

[goodman]

When you play Everquest, which i have off and on for almost 5 years now, your never quite "not" playing a game. So... ive got my bard up to 69 now (just one more level to go and i can go to alternate advancement skills again). StarOcean is indeed looking very promising, and ive got the new Shadowhearts after that, probably around January/February. I remember playing the first Shadowhearts for three months, so it will probably be April before i play much more than those two games, i will check out PoP2 though probably on a rent........

[Tha Keaf]

I beat Def Jam FFNY so now I'm back to playing NBA 2K5, also I've played a little Smackdown! HCTP.

[tanner_999]

I'm playing FIFA 97, and I always finish mid table. Addmittedly I am making it hard on myself by picking AIK as my team, but hey I'll do it.

[merylsilverburg]

Took a break from GTA: SA and am playing "Karaoke Revolution 3." It's still fun...too bad I can't sing well. :P Unlocked a fantastic song that I'm just absolutely estatic about. :D

Right now im playing:

Ratchet and clank
Jak and daxter: the precursor legacy
killzone
metal gear solid 3: snake eater

[merylsilverburg]

No surprise here: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Nothing else will occupy my time until I finish this gem of a game.

[Beretta55]

Well since I traded my slim PStwo back in (and got 3 games for it which are killzone, metroid prime 2 and baten kaitos.) for the curious I traded in my slim PStwo since it heated up like an oven, it sat on my shelf which was quite open which means air could circulate the system and all that. But it got real hot within 2 or 3 hours to play, I tried to remedy this by putting a fan behind it, still got real hot with the fan blowing behind it on full speed. So I got a older new ps2 (50001) version coming my way from ebay.

so im just playing baten kaitos for now.

[kupoartist]

Half-Life 2. My first replay of many I suspect...

[Vic Viper]

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time

[kupoartist]

Half-Life 2. My first replay of many I suspect...
Replay number four. Just cleared out the "Anticitizen One" Warehouse, just about to save Barney's arse. Still as fun as the first time, though i'm playing a lot of the "Super Happy Fun Fun Coursework is Due in 7 Days" game at the moment.

[goodman]

Finished Star Ocean and playing the after game stuff, which is much tougher. Very fun game, though five outta five here...

[Drafter-T]

Mercenaries exclusively right now. I highly recommend this game for anyone that wants to have a blast (a literal blast, lol). Great game! :arrr:

[absinthe_fairy]

I'm replaying Resident Evil 2, Leon's Scenario A on Normal mode at the moment.

[Infernal Mass]

KOTOR 2,

.. in alot of ways this game is better than the original. It's smarter, and it's easy to tell that Obsidian did alot of work within the time they had to complete the project. I haven't even completed the game and am already satisfied with the purchase.

[Soul Angel]

I've been currently playing this week my Dynasty warrior 4 games and a little bit of FFIX on top of that.

[Urahara Kisuke]

Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose

[absinthe_fairy]

At the moment I'm playing Silent Hill 3 for PS2. :D

[Infernal Mass]

I'm playing thru MGS3 snake eater, this game reminds me why sony is #1 console on the market. Kojima really is a master in the art of game making.

[absinthe_fairy]

At the moment I'm playing Broken Sword: Dragon Slayer for PS2 for the second time around even though I finished it yesterday, lol. It's an encore for mum. :D

[Beretta55]

I bought Tekken 5 two days ago so i've been playing alot of that. I'm also working on finishing Xenosaga 1 soon as well.

[Vic Viper]

Devil May Cry 3. :lick:

[absinthe_fairy]

I'm playing Final Fantasy IX at the moment. It's a lot more enjoyable then I remember. <3

Since I beat Obscure and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory recently I rented Jade Empire and was extremely impressed. I bought it only one day of having it rented and so that game has been eating away most of my time. My friend lent me Ico recently and I wanted to take a break from Jade Empire for a bit so i've been playing Ico as well.

[Phenom]

I've been playing the 1st MGS as of late. I do like it however, it's taking a helluva lot longer than I thought to adjust to. After playing MGS2 and 3 for so long I've been trying to do so much that I keep forgetting that's not in the 1st... Hopefully I'll overcome this though.

I still need to start that game up,

[Infernal Mass]

Resident Evil 4 on Pro Mode. ya know that rocket launcher that is in the glass case, the one you find right before Saddler kills Luis. I saved that rocket launcher til I fought Salazar, it was hell too..I had the XL case but the rocket launcher takes up all the extra space you get from upgrading from a Large to XL. So it has been like playing with only a large case forever it seems like..well, just 1 hit with that rocket saved me soo much ammo and supplies..I filled my inventory right back up too after i used it..headed toward the island now(Disc2).

[Berserker]

Star wars:battlefront, I finally got the ps2 controller. It was worth the wait cause I'm enjoying the game to the fullest. Nothing fancy just good old shooter fun with a cool license.

Yo, I’m currently playing Resi 4 on Pro mode, how do you get past the boss fight where you fight him in a cabin lol, your probably don’t know what I’m on about, but its where you keep blasting him then he turns into a mutant then swings from the roof, I’ve tried gamefaq.com, it tells you how to beat him but that must be for normal because it just isn’t that easy on pro, help appreciated! :D

[Vic Viper]

krauser was the only boss that gave me trouble on pro mode, untill i realize its much easier to kill him with a knife. X_X;

[merylsilverburg]

Currently playing: nothing...unless you count 1 month ago and that would've been "We Love Katamari Damashii" but no time to play anything anymore.

[goodman]

Dang, Meryl, sure have missed seeing you around. I actually was wondering where you have been so did a thread search, and see you have really been gone a lot. I trust you will be sure to make it back as often as possible.... :) As for me, other than checking out Fatal Frame 3 when it comes out in a few months, i guess i will check out Shadow of Collossus and see what the fuss is about there. This has been the weakest year yet for the ps2 from what ive seen, but thats just me, i know a lot of people like more of a variety of games than i do now. I once played a lot of stuff, kinda bored on it now...

[dan da man]

Yup, on normal mode anyway I empted my magnum at him, everything, then it was much easier to run at him and slash him to death with the trusty old knife.

I used the rifle on Cheif Mendez. He seemed to take alot more punishment than he did on normal. He's faster on pro mode too once he seperates from his legs, I was running around alot more..i used that explosive barrel and about 2 boxes of rifle ammo.

I finished up Pro Mode a few weeks ago, I don't know if it was standard with using the special costume but the merchant wouldn't sell me the tactical vest. :blink: made things a bit more..interesting towards the later part of the game.

Thanks goodman, I've been really busy with a lot of personal problems. Plus, I get the feeling I've become the mega-enemy/bitch by certain people on here due to an event that took place before my absence so I'm a bit uncomfortable being around now. But, I'll try to come on from time to time, thanks again. :)

I don't know...it seems a lot of good games are coming out for the PS2 this year...I'm waiting for "Shadow of Collossus", "Kingdom Hearts 2", "Soul Calibur 3", "Zelda", "SSX 4", "Indigo Prophecy" (sleeper sort of game, but seems interesting), and "We Love Katamari Damacy". And if I had any money at at all, I would like to try out the new "Cowboy Bebop" PS2 game that was just released in Japan.

On subject, still playing nothing.

[Beretta55]

Right now I'm playing Beat Down: Fists Of Vengeance on Xbox and some other Xbox games I have on hold like KOTOR, Thief: Deadly Shadows and Mercenaries. I really am enjoying Beat Down, it has it's problems but it made a bold attempt to do some interesting things with the beat'em up genre and make it more interesting. The RPG elements of leveling up it brought to the table are fun, all the recruiting, interrogating and various other things on people in the city is a fun feature too, it's a nice game if you like this genre.

[Phenom]

I am currently playing Lord of the Rings: Return of the Kings. I've never played this game before, but I must say I'm impressed. (I also never seen the movie. Because I can't sit down for 3 hrs long just staring at the tv.) But I will say that this game makes me want to see the movie ^_^)

Currently suppose to be at school, but I overslept. (2 hours late, so I said forget)

Finally got to Kingdom Hearts after completing SW:Battlefront(enjoyed it quit a bit). Looks like a real cool game Kingdom Hearts, I used to play games like that but this will be the first one in years looking forward to proceeding.

currently getting my ass kicked all over the place in ninja gadien black's mission mode. this game can make you feel like a complete badass one minute, and the next minute your ass is as dead as fried chicken. :P

The Warriors -

I've finally reached the spot where the movie begins. Great game, if you are a fan of sam housers other projects. (GTA,Manhunt..) This fighting engine will most likely be used for an upcoming GTA game.

"warriors, come out to playyyyyyeyy !!!" :laugh:

i need to get this game. im a fan of the movie. :lick:

[Infernal Mass]

The game does a really good job of leading up to the events that take place in the movie. It shows the history of The Warriors, why Cleon and Vermin made the warrior gang. How Swan and Cowboy,Ajax , Cochise and Fox all join the warriors. They each had to go thru initiations, it's really well done/written into the story overall though.

[Berserker]

I never really got the hang of Kingdom Hearts, haven't played it for months. I currently playing Marvel vs Capcom 2, whenever I have a few moments left. Truely one of the best 2d-fighters that's around on the ps2.

[merylsilverburg]

Currently playing "Kingdom Hearts 2." I'm currently in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" world inside Jack Sparrow's ship. Very cool game so far. :cool:

[Phenom]

Lately I've been playing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mainly bouncing around between games because I couldn't get (and still not) satisfied with the games I've been playing. The last game I played was Indigo Prophecy.

[Beretta55]

Radiata Stories, Wild Arms: Alter Code F and Shadow Of The Colossus. I'll most likely beat SOTC in a couple of days, then I'll probably start one of the hitman games.

[Berserker]

I finished RE:4 main storyline, took me 19,5 hours very cool game indeed.
Shifting time between Capcom vs SNK 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Street Fighter EX3.

Rented Star Wars III: RotS and DMC 3 (again ^_^ ) on Wednesday. Beat Star Wars.... It's decent but it's no DMC. I never did care for Stars Wars from get go. (games or movies)

Anyways.... I also beat DMC3 for the 3rd time yesterday. I could probably play this game all day, everyday. (Like Ninja Gaiden) I'm about to go for a 4th round though. Gonna try DMD mode for once.

[REChick14]

Playin RE4, the ps2 version. On my way to beat it twice. I already beat the GC version 3 times. I just cant get enough of re4, lol.

A pc game called Gunbound, quite addictive.

[Berserker]

Shifting my time between Enemy Territory and SNK vs Capcom: SVC chaos.
SVC choas isn't as bad a game as many people make you believe IMO, ok it isn't by far the best 2d fighter on the ps2 BUT if you're into the genre it can be quite fun it's nowhere near balanced, it has the typical overpowered snk-style bosses, sever hitbox problems, rather strange hitpriorities and many other flaws. But this is the kind of game where it's all about fun and this can be quite fun plus it's cool to see the sf chars been done snk-style. Don't know about the lasting appeal though, I've played it only for about 1,5 hour or so.

Condemned: Criminal Origins and Call Of Duty 2. But the most--> Geometry Wars: Evolved

[Beretta55]

Condemned: Criminal Origins and Call Of Duty 2. But the most--> Geometry Wars: Evolved
I'm close to beating Condemned, chapter 9 exact. (I believe there are ten chapters.) I stopped playing it though since it was my only 360 game at the time and didn't want to speed through it like that. But now I'm playing my 360 nonstop since I got newer 360 games like PDZ, Kameo: Elements Of Power, Amped 3, Call Of Duty 2 and Quake 4. I also will be picking up Fight Night Round 3 when it releases this month.

But I'm playing Quake 4, Call Of Duty 2, Kameo and Amped 3 the most. I took a break from Condemned and PDZ.

[Infernal Mass]

playing Resident Evil : Code Veronica X

..fresh off the 4th Silent Hill game (which i thought was really good, considering a few flaws) and decided to tackle this game while I'm still in survival/horror mode. It's kinda easy to be honest, i wanted to get a nice completed file on my memory card though before i start up RE4 on pro mode. :)

[Sleazy P Martini]

FFIX on playstation. Black on xbox

Oooh man! When Black hits the shelves RUN! for a copy. One of the best fps' I've ever played. EA and Criterion (Burnout 3 & 4) have done outstanding work on this title. This game creates an awesome feel of being in a real firefight. Glass and bits of concrete flying over your head, shooting though doors and walls with your shotgun.....and the graphics! Wow! Who knew 5 yr old hardware could still amaze??

Black (http://www.ea.com/official/black/black/us/home.jsp)

um yeah. *runs to play Black*

[goodman]

Ive got the demo disc and must say Black does indeed look good. I put $5 down for Omnimusha 4 and they gave me the demo for Black. Dont think i will buy it at first but will do a Blockbuster rent and see what its looking like. Down to the final part of Fatal Frame 3 now, so should be anytime now heh...

[jjmoohead]

since i am ps2less at the moment, i have been focusing my time towards the PC. I have finished GUN, GTA:San Andreas, like 95% of NFS:Underground 2. I have also dived into FEAR back playing HL2 and my girlfriend currently has me mixed up in a game called Second Life.

I didn't like it at first, but my creative juices are now enjoying the time spent.

[REChick14]

DMC 3. Yes I know its been out for a while but I just got it a few days ago, its the special edition one. Im having fun so far so its all good.

[Phenom]

Last game I played was X-men Legends. Master Mold was freakishly crazy..... Although I've faced harder characters, he was pretty hard. Especially with all them other crackish sentinels keep on popping up. Don't think I'll play it again though because you have to go through all that levelling up again. (start from 1.... that's a bunch of bullsh*t)

I'm not playing anything at the moment.... Don't have any new games and I haven't been to block busters.

[Infernal Mass]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. I've been holding off on this one, for about 2 months. Finally got around to it, and i'm currently about 30 hours in. The verdict so far..

It feels like some old school RPGing, I'm talking back to the basics..random battles and turned based action galore! This isn't Fable, it isn't KoTOR..it's back to the fundamentals, and it feels great.

[Berserker]

King of fighters 2002

Great fighting engine(as always) better graphics this is about the best it can get with the old arcadeboard they use. I like the striker thing being dropped and old school 3 vs 3 returned. I'm glad Joe Higashi is (still) in it, I like the overall cast. Move execution(input) seems a bit tighter than 2001, but still easy to pull off in heated battle(allthough some getting used to after 2001). Overall great game, if you're into 2-d get this!

[merylsilverburg]

Ah well I'm currently playing the demo version of "Okami" (Great God) on the OPM demo disc. It's such a unique and innovative game! I would've never thought of a concept of using a calligraphy brush to cut objects, paint bridges/rivers, and destroy your enemies. I love it so much so far and I can't wait until the finished version. :cool:

If you do get your hands on the demo, beware: the stupid thing has a time-out session, so if you leave the game idle for, oh, a second, it'll take you back to the main page. :sarcasm: That's why I had to play the demo a bunch of times, just to get through everything and I still don't think I've covered it all.

Right now I'm playing Kingdom Hearts. (Big talk in the gaming community I suppose?) But right now it's another one of these games that I feel it's been overhyped. Maybe I'm not giving this game a fair chance because I'm only in wonderland. But at the moment, I am not feeling this game at all. It's like it's trying too hard to be Zelda so to speak. These controls.... meh, still trying to get use to this camera toggling.

Maybe it's too early for me to judge, so I'm going to continue playing for a little bit more. But personally.... I don't see what's so good about this game. (Maybe I have bad taste in games or something. I'm also starting to lose interest in videogames.... maybe that's it? *shrugs*)

You're not alone. "Kingdom Hearts" is one of those games that you either love or hate. If you suspect that you don't like it from the beginning, you probably won't like it in the end...at least that's what some people say.

Perhaps the game is a bit overhyped probably because the shocking realization that Disney and FF characters can and do mix well. While this may be it, I personally love the game to pieces. The story is wonderful...I especially love the important focus on the meaning and word "promise." The game made that word so much more powerful and meaningful that I get chills when I think of it. The game is just meaningful overall...near the end, there is such a cliched scene (When Sora is shutting the door on Riku and Mickey) that you'd think any gamer would just roll their eyes...yet, I couldn't help but feel such sorrow seeing it because of the silent meaningfulness of it.

There's also a real sense of purpose in the game - you really feel like a true hero trying to destroy evil. I know RPGs can make you feel this way, but "KH" is much shorter than RPGs and doesn't have many sidequests, so I can focus much better. Also, the characters have a really wonderful chemistry between them...Sora, Donald, and Goofy are so likeable. I loved how SquareEnix was able to give Donald, Goofy, and Mickey some dimension in their personalities; their cartoon personalities are so unlikeable sometimes and so 2-dimensional. But in the game, they feel real.

Overall the game is great, it made me laugh, cry, and cry some more. :shy: You should play a little further into the game and then determine if you really like it or hate it. :)

[Berserker]

Playing Battlefront 2 at the moment, must say stunning visuals on this one! Possibly the best graphics I've seen on the ps2 so far, especially the second level in that "Rise of the empire" mission with all the beautiful flowers and surreal floating sphores quit mesmerizing indeed.

[REChick14]

currently I am playing silent hill, i guess ever since I saw the movie trailer it made me want to play it again. It was the first game i played on my ps1, so I dont really remember how to do everything in the game which makes it fun. Whenever my parents arent home I play it since i am currently banned from playing for a while. But of course I do have my ways and I take every advantage I get :happy:

[Phenom]

Alright... so I've decided to play Kingdom Hearts a little more. Currently at Akrabah. (whatever) I'll admit it now. My views have changed substancially, but I'm still not hyped over the game like everyone else were. It's not Zelda or Ninja Gaiden, but it's no slouch either. (It's pretty fun for a genre that I don't care much for. It makes me want to play FFVIII again that's for sure.)

Main parts that're getting on my nerves is the Coliseium (sp?) where you choose to be timed. (Is that mandatory?) And the crackish mini game in the deep forest where you're collecting fruit.

Uhh... other than that.... this could possibly keep me occupied for a while.

You need to drop something heavy through the rubbish chute in order for it to drop down, if memory serves me correct it's some sixpack or bottle.

I just remember frustration when the bear came and molested me

[Beretta55]

Right now I'm playing MGS3 in which I'm at the alligator pond right after meeting EVA. Or what I like the call "the pond where I got dragged into the watery depths and made into an alligator chew toy, YAY!" that really, really sucked when that happened when I was at that location for the first time. XD
Also playing Xenosaga 2, going really slow with it because it's a game I require a bit of time set aside to play it so I haven't had that sort of time yet. I also might boot up The Suffering: Ties That Bind, haven't beaten that yet. Still playing my 360 as well but I wanted to give it a break and give my PS2 a go, haven't played my PS2 in a few months at least.

Tomb Raider: Legend kicks ass, I rented it for the 360 and took it back because I will buy it sometime in the future. I've also disliked the series since day one so it being like the original is nothing really awe inspiring to me. The game feels alot more loose, enjoyable and fun, they got rid of the grid system lining up a specific jump was irritating now I don't have to be SO precise about it. I understand this limitation of the days of 96 but I have no idea why they kept at it with Angel Of Darkness. Eidos giving the game to Crystal Dynamics was a good idea, Core just wasn't putting the game on the right track anymore, even to people who liked the series were displeased with the series right around when three came out, or so I heard.

[merylsilverburg]

I just remember frustration when the bear came and molested me

:laugh:

I agree with Sleazy though: the original is the original and that's what makes it the best. Sure, "Legend" is great, but I won't forget the awe and the addiction I felt while exploring the tombs and trying to uncover every nook and cranny of the levels.

Kaena, what do you think of Tekken 5? Is it really so much better than 4 which was a huge dissapointment for me??

Well as far as moves and stuff, it's pretty much the same...i didn't noticed any major differences from the 4, except one or 2 caracters that have something new ... Tekken 5 has a lot more caracters, quite a few are new ones, like Azuka, Raven, Lili, Wang, and a few others...and there's also this one part called Devil Within, where Jin becomes a devil for awhile and you have to go around killing bad guys before he turns into normal again, that seems pretty cool, plus it has some other features like costumizing the caracters and Theater that Tekken 4 doesn't have. Overall it is better, or at least more entertaining.

Cool, does the european release also includes the original Tekken 1,2 and 3? How is the speed? Cause I always thought Tekken 4 had this kind of strange slow-motion feel to it.
Sorry for bothering you with all these questions though... :zip:

[Faile]

For me, when I played Tekken 5 about a year and a half ago at the press launch, it was far more akin to Tekken 3 and the PSX games than Tekken 4. Certainly, Namco were drilling in to us about how it was a return to the roots of the series rather than Tekken 4 which they saw as a more 'realistic' game, hence the slower speed.

It's okee... no worries :) ... about the 1st question, i'm not sure what you mean by including "the original tekken 1,2 and 3"...maybe you better rephrase the question, for me to be able to give you a straight answer.
As for your second question, 4 does seem kinda slow, compared to tekken 5...although i still think, contrary to what Faile said, tekken 5 is a bit slower than the 3rd. of all i still think the one i had more fun playing was tekken 3. I think the moves are lot faster than in 4 or 5.

[Faile]

You could be right. My memory of playing Tekken 3 is based on many lost hours an amazing eight years ago and I played Tekken 5 the day after a really bad breakup and remember very little, so it is all a bit jumbled. I had to have a look at my notes from the event to even remind myself what Tekken 5 was like.

[Phenom]

Well, I'm not playing anything at the moment because the only game I really want to play at the moment is FFVIII. I won't be satisfied until I get that game back...... But the latest game that I rented from blockbuster was Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams... 1st impressions about it was, bleh.... Controls is taking a while for me to get use to... I guess it's because I was playing DMC3;SE before renting this game. But like I said, it's bleh at the moment because I'm in this picky mood to play FFVIII. Visually speaking, the game is prettiful though.

As far as Tekken 5 goes.... I didn't care much for it. I think it was the fact they changed Jin's move set altogether. Made him into a sucky fighter. The boss would have me looking stupid when he throws out a damn fireball, that drains almost half your energy............................ (didn't have much of a problem with it because I like hard games)

[Berserker]

It's okee... no worries :) ... about the 1st question, i'm not sure what you mean by including "the original tekken 1,2 and 3"...maybe you better rephrase the question, for me to be able to give you a straight answer.


Thanx for the reply Eli, don't know how to put it any other way, the disc was supposed to contain Tekken 1,2 and 3 as extra's or unlockables?? I mean the complete, original games.

[Meiko]

Playing Fatal Frame III (aka Project Zero III), but this game is more difficult than the previous ones :(

Aha...no...apart from teh game, the only thing it has is that Devil Within game...which is actually kind of like an improved "arcade mode".

I am about to start playing FFVII. I'm just going to play it till I get FFVIII back. I've had it (FFVII) for quite some time now, but when I started playing for the 1st time, I turned it off about 5 minutes when you take control of Cloud. Due to graphic issues.... (I'm a graphics whore, and I started out playing FFVIII 1st.... "shrugs") I'm hoping I can look past the graphics this time around. So any advice for a up and coming FFVII player?

When I first played it in '97/'98, I didn't enjoy it because I never played RPGs before, so I was so utterly lost and confused. But, I finally fully played and finished the game last year, so my only advice for you is to just to stick it out despite the older graphics. And get used to using Materia, which is like the Junction system of FFVIII. The Materia system, which I found confusing at first, is incredibly addictive because with the right Materia and customizations to your weapon, your characters can become super powerful. :)

Playing "Castlevania: Curse of Darkness" right now. It's somewhat fun, somewhat not. :right:

Really, stick with it and just enjoy the way it unfolds. It really is an amazing experience and those graphics were cutting edge, back in the day! I'm still amazed by the game today, it's just a work of beauty.

Edit: Oh, and I'm playing Ultimate Spider Man at the moment.

I don't really consider cubes or whatever as hands to be cutting edge (nor do I like that chibi [I think that's the word] look), but nevertheless, I put the graphics aside and I am enjoying it a little bit. (I still like FFVIII better though) ^^

I took a break from it and decide to rent Kingdom Hearts 2. It was an experience. I just beat the game, and to be honest, I don't really have much of a problem with the game. Hell, I like this one better than the 1st, but that's just me. And I'm not that much of a fan of the series, so "shrugs"

You can also call me a cinematic freak. The little fighting sequence between Cloud and Sephiroth took the cake. The reaction commands were pretty nice, but they could've made it a little more challenging like the QTE's in Shenmue.

I know one thing is for sure. I am never entering that door that takes you to Xenmas again. As I am typing this right now, my 1st finger and middle finger is a little shaky because of that one attack Xenmas did with the thousand lasers and you're pressing the triangle and X buttons together rapidly.

Overall, the game was pretty good. I just didn't pay much attention to the story. (I never do in any games which is really a bad habit.)

[Sleazy P Martini]

I just started Dragon Quest 8. I think I'll be playing that for quite a while :D

[Phenom]

Playing FFVII again.... Had to start over because I messed up when getting Yuffie.

[Beretta55]

Well right now I'm playing Grandia 2, Winback 2 and since I got Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition today I'll probably play that too. I'm then putting FF7 and The Suffering: Ties That Bind on the back burner for now.

[Sleazy P Martini]

Put Dragon Quest aside to try Shadow of the Collossus. That is just nuts!

[Berserker]

I started replaying Killzone, I realise the main thing I like is the grimmy look of it all and the amazing sound effects and cool Helghast voices....Grenade!!!!....Advance!!!!! :laugh:

[Infernal Mass]

Prince of Pesia The Two Thrones, and Liberty City Stories. Mostly just PoP.

[Beretta55]

I beat Winback 2 and I bought Marc Eckos: Getting Up Contents Under Pressure for ten bucks new at a circuit city game sale mid May and beat that. It was a surprisingly decent game, it seems like the company who developed and Marc who penned the story and direction of the game actually gave a crap about it and not just looking for a quick dollar.

But for right now I'm playing my 360 since I recently got Hitman: Blood Money, Full Auto (for half price so it was 30 dollars.) and Burnout: Revenge for my 360. Hitman is getting the most play though; I'm addicted to it. :P

I've seen them laying around for only 10€, let me know if you get further what your impressions are.

[Infernal Mass]

I got to chapter 2; part seven. Made a mistake though, I went into the options menu and toggled the settings for the weapons. I reconfigured the A button (xbox version) and I could no longer open any cabinets, very strange. I'll have to start over soon.

As for my initial impressions of what I experianced up to that point; The bullet-time gameplay feature has been mimiced/improved apon in multiple games since Max Payne. This was the first game to get it right though, It draws alot of influence from John Woo films and Chow Yun Fat's gunplay style. There's nothing like diving into a room occupied with 5 guys taking them all out in slow motion, the aftermath of all the carnage is pretty sweet. I think it's going to be a pretty solid game, highly recommended for how inexpensive the 2 games are now.

[Berserker]

Thanx for the info Infernal, sounds like good value for money. It's really a good time to catch up on missed games with the ps3 coming.

[Beretta55]

I found Guilty Gear X2: #Reload for Xbox about two days ago. Blockbuster/Gamerush was having a game clereance and they had this for five dollars new, I only had to pay that and fourty two cents for the tax, pretty good deal I say.

I'm addicted to this game, I've been out of 2D fighters for a few years but this game alone makes me interested again. So far I'm only decent with Chipp Zanuff and Axl Low. Axl is my all around favorite but blitzing around the screen with Chipp at break neck speeds is something to be seen.

Guilty gear are on of those games, where everything fits perfectly the speed, the controls, character design, music(especially) I love these games! It's a shame their aren't more 2d fighters like guilty gear graphic and presentation-wise cause that would really boost the genre.

[Phenom]

I don't know which Guilty Gear I played, but I didn't really care much for it. I think know it was on the ps2 though. It was probably the controls then again it probably wasn't. Took a while for me to get use to. In order to face your opponent when your back is to them, you have to hit the L2 or R2 but.... not sure which one of those. But I did not like that at all. It didn't really light a spark for me for some odd reason, and I'm normally into the 2D fighters. (Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom vs SNK2)

In any case, the game I'm playing at the moment is FFVIII. (Yay, I got it back) Currently on disc 1. Decided to start over because it turns out that I was missing quite a few things and I was fighting Ultimecia. (sp?) I'm currently about to meet Rinoa (the little dance sequence) and go into the training area.

I've also had a sudden urge to play Shenmue, but my 1st disc isn't working..... >_<. So much for that.

You probably played Guilty Gear:Isuka by the sound of it, not very representive for the GG series. Widely known as the weakest and most hated by the fans GG. If you ever decide to give another GG a change(without the stupid character turn button you mentioned if I'm correct) try GG2:reloaded.

LOL, I missed this earlier. Yeah, Royal Rainbow. :laugh:

[Infernal Mass]

i don't know what to play next, probably some mercs on xbox but i kinda want to get good with Taki iin Soul Calibur 3. She's such an interesting character, her stage music rocks, and I always seemed to ignore her in Soul Calibur 2. She seems much improved though in this new game and Mitsurugi is kinda getting boring to use lately.

[Berserker]

I still haven't picked up SC3, but I recently starting to play SC2 after a disturbing period of only playing KOF2002 straight away.

[Infernal Mass]

Taki, kicks some serious ass. The only thing she really lacks is range, but she more than makes up for that with speed and mobility. This is the exact change of pace i needed. I'm going to go back and play thru SC2, see how much she has changed since that game.

Yeah Taki is one of my favorite characters...but for SC2, I preferred Talim...even though she's weak, her speed is much faster than Taki so she can dish out a series of whirlwind attacks. It's over like that. ;) I really like Sophitia in SC for the Dreamcast, but she's been really crappy lately and I don't like her little sister, Cassandra. :yuck:

Right now, I have Psychonauts and Beyond Good and Evil laying around. I got them from Gamefly but have had no time to play either of them. So it's pretty much $27 going down the drain each month. :shame:

Those are two amazing games you have right there, Beyond Good and Evil was amazing from start to finish and while I don't own it I enjoyed of what I played of Psychonauts when I rented it.

Right now I'm playing Prey, Fight Night Round 3 (the only realistic sport related game I've liked ever, but I guess punching people in the face rivals over my hate of simulated sport games. XD), A little of Saints Row even though I've beaten it and Enchanted Arms when I buy that tomorrow.

I also need to pick up Yakuza and Okami sometime, maybe around October/November when I'll have some money coming in.

I used Talim all the time too in Soul Calibur 2, her and Mitsurugi. Used Talim to beat weaponmaster mode, she is so quick,.her double crescent blades were the equivalent of Mitsurugi's Masamune. I haven't even tried her in SC3 yet, but i just bought it a month ago and stated playing ti alot lately.

I never used Taki because a buddy of mine uses her and we have had some of the closest matches Talim vs. Taki. The main reason i like Taki so much is her quick soul charge she does, amazing move. I love it how it's linked together with a string of attacks. I never knew what that did until i actually started practicing with her. Most surprising of all my friend never used the posession move, i need to show him this asap.

Soul calibur 3's A.I. seems a little bit tougher than it was in SC2, which is fun for playing the modes needed to unlock stuff.

[Infernal Mass]

more soul calibur 3, crap this game is tough! It is like the game got tougher just for me picking Taki, it just feels like that. I cannot reach Night Terror at all, Cervantes just goes crazy when i get to him. I need to try and get a ring out on him because there is seriously no other way to beat him, he is tougher than Abyss for some reason.

[tempted]

My brother bought me Prince of Persia - Warrior Within the other day. So that's what i'll be playing soon. Haven't played it except like 30 minutes on the day i got it.

[jjmoohead]

Just finished a growling 2 week session of Madden 07, and now dipping into NHL 2007 and NHL 2K7.

I finally got around to buying Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur lll, really like them so far. Tekken 5 is way better than 4, a lot faster and great music.
Haven't played them enough to tell anything more.

oh i know. darn i forgot to tell you. Did you try the other part of the game, that devil within part?

[Berserker]

oh i know. darn i forgot to tell you. Did you try the other part of the game, that devil within part?

Yeah, I like it better than the tekken force mode in Tekken 4, more diverse, easier saving sytem. I'm really liking Tekken 5 so far, thought I'd spent the latter part of my time on SClll but I'm really starting to dig the fighting system they have in Tekken 5(and that for a 2d fighter-fanatic huh). Like the characters they added too, Bruce is a killer as is Feng. I hope they would just get rid of all those bears/panda's/wooden guys for a chance and include more realistic fighters.

Oh yeah Jinpachi is real pain in the ass, way too overpowered(that's also the reason why he's playable as a character, it would seriously the damage the balance).

PS Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier.

Well i just bought Need for Speed 2. Im about to pop that baby in soon. I cant wait!!

Playing Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. (Yes!! I am no longer bored.) I just got it in the mail today, so I can't really say much about it. The graphics are prettyful though. I'll get back to you on my 1st impressions, that is if anyone is interested. (I'm a little sleepy, so you may be waiting a bit...)

What do you like best about God Hand, it's been a while since I've seen such mixed reviews about a game and I try to figure it out.

[jjmoohead]

I am currently in game limbo, awaiting the PS3 and not wanting to spend any money on other titles. So to pass time, I have began playing a free pc online game called Second Life. Its fun and passes the time well.

This will be good times for the next 10 days as I await Guild Wars Night Falls, which will release on the 27th i believe. This will then pass time until the release of the PS3.

[Infernal Mass]

spending my free time playing Bully. Great game, it's more focused than an expansive setting like GTA. So it benefits from the extra attention. The music is very unique as well, probably the best time i've spent with a game in awhile. The type of experiance that refreshes my faith in the industry and the innovators within in it.

[merylsilverburg]

I wanted to try out "Bully" as well since I've heard some good things about it but, alas, must wait till more free time.

[Infernal Mass]

here's an article from the sf chronicle about Bully, good journalism.

[Beretta55]

F.E.A.R. on 360 Fantastic game the AI is some of the best I've seen in a game.

Oh and Berserker sorry about the late reply but I'll answer some things on Godhand for you. I personally think Godhand is a must-buy game, the game has mixed reviews true but from what I've seen most of them seem to be hung up on the graphics, difficulty or how the health system operates. The graphics aren't the most impressive thing on the block, but brawlers never really go for graphics it's all about breaking someone’s nose. The game is extremely difficult; devil may cry 3 levels of hard so if you enjoy a challenge you'll like what you find. The health system never refills from level to level, so going from stage 1 to 2 you'll have the same level of health, but if you die your health meter refills. A lot of people had a problem with this but I don't see the big deal, the point in the game is to not die, the less you die the more gold you get at the end of a level. It's just another challenge in the game, the developers never said this game would be easy or hold your hand, the first stage in the game can be extremely hard if you have no idea what your doing.

The combat in the game is extremely deep, on fighting game level but still simplified you can customize combos in your move set, set up your own special moves etc. If your a brawler/fighting game fan (which I've seen from your posts you are.) then I think you will enjoy this game, I've been playing brawlers and fighting games since around the age of five, this game is a good send back to those games. The asking price is only thirty dollars so all around I think it's a good deal for how fun the game is.
