it's funny how this site originated from a gaming based discussion board and yet we seem to rarely talk about it anymore.

so, what are you playing, and on what medium? do some of you even play modern games anymore?

i've been playing a lot of my nintendo DS lately because the TV is often out of my control, so meteos and nintendogs has been keeping me happy.

in addition, i think i played about 10-12 hours of we love katamari, easy, over the past week or so. damn addictive japanese games. also, silent hill 3 is sitting on top of my ps2 just begging me to play it.

as far as "modern games" go, i'm played a fair amount of we love katamari and taiko drum master recently... you can get taiko (with the drum, natch) for $15 at best buy if you use the gamers gift card coupon. it used to retail for $60.

but the most recent game i've started again is final fantasy II/IV. i should probably wait til december and get it for GBA instead of playing it now, but i got bored the other day and decided to run though it for old times sake. i'm kind of amazed at how shoddy the writing is... as a 12 year old i clearly had very, very poor taste, because i thought this game was the end all be all.

hah, you're right, FFIV has some really poor writing at some points, but it is a great game.

i bought Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow last night, and I've been playing We <3 Katamari a lot again over the past few days. I haven't touched Nintendogs for a long time :(

I've been getting back into gaming as of late (especially PC gaming since I have a new 'puter that will run anything out there).

In the last three months I have played and beat on PC: Prince of Persia Two Thrones, F.E.A.R., Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and LotR BFME II. Looking forward to Elder Scrolls IV: The Oblivion! Game looks sweet. Also playing Battlefield 2 sometimes with some of my old UT clanners. Thinking about getting into either GTA: SA or Max Payne 2, next.

On GBA (via GameCube's GBA Player), I am working on the Castlevania: Double Pack in between work/school/and whatever PC games I'm playing.

I play CS occasionaly on this 800mhz 64 ram computer. I'm building a new comp but I'll probably only play CS as far as games go. I played Castlevania for the DS at my friends over the week and got 50%, with some puzzle fighter, and he bought MGS subsistence which is also cool.

i was considering getting it, but i think with the limited money i have, tetris ds may take priority.

Yeah Tetris DS looks pretty awesome. I'm a big fan of Hunters though and I really recommend it, but I haven't played Tetris so I can't say it's better.

I beat Condemned the other day (decent game, never could get into the graphical style all that much, though) and I started playing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth yesterday. Got about 45 minutes into it.. it's good so far, and even though I've hardly scratched the surface, I'm really digging the story. Makes me want to read the books that the game is based off of.

Anyone read the Cthulhu crap by H.P. Lovecraft?

Well, I'm mostly playing the following during my spare time:

Football Manager 2006, a football (soccer) sim game that sucks my life away hours at a time. And OMG, '07 looks so much better! :( I'll never get anything done.

TES IV: Oblivion, still play it some...but I dunno, after awhile the 'dungeon, ruin, fort, city, fort, ruin, dungeon, etc. etc.' gets boring after awhile. The world just doesn't hold my attention in the way that Morrowind, one of my most played games ever, did. I want so much to love it, and I'm so close, but I just can't. :( Been thinking of trying OOO 1.3 and some other mods and giving it another go...dunno, we'll see.

Civilisation IV, JUST ONE MORE TURN!!! Damn Sid Meier.

Jeno if you lead france to victory I will forgive you for evething. and let ypu live! France rules! Zidane still love you ,man, best mid-fielder ever

I normally stay out of International management in FM, it's a bit of a bore. Much prefer club management.

However, you'll be happy to know that in my current game I'm in around 2011 as Tottenham Hotspur (Europian Champions Tottenham Hotspur, that is. :D) and France has won the last two World Cups. :) In '06 they beat Colombia in extra time 2-1 off a 30 yard strike from Malouda. In 2010 they beat Italy 4-2 thanks to Tottenham star Hatem Ben Arfa's brace in the final twenty minutes after coming on for an injured Thierry Henry.

I am so happy now just made my stinky(I actually got my new driver license today) day better, but know that I will hold you entirely responsible if France doesn't win the next two world cups! Sorry to hear Thierry got injured :( ;)

I'm not. He probably deserved it. Of course I could just be a biased Spurs fan. *shrug*

currently:

rule of rose - seems to be pretty standard survival horror faire thus far... but i'll keep at it.
dirge of cerberus - decent devil may cry clone, though i doubt if i would have given it the time of day if it weren't for the final fantasy vii connection.
black - amazing graphics, decent gameplay... i've played through some of the first mission, and it seems to be a really pretty fps, nothing more.
yakuza - just started. not to big a fan of the camera, i thought it would be more akin to GTA in that i had full control of it instead of fixed angles... we'll see how much that annoys me later.

and i'm downloading steambot chronicles... heard only good thing about it.

testtubebaby

02-18-2007, 07:30 PM

it's not that... there are a shit load of missions and things to do, but everything is easy. i doubt you will have to repeat any mission (save for the awful stealth missions) more than once or twice. if you have played any of the modern GTAs, it's a cake walk.

however, i do still recommend it. it gave me a similar feeling to what i felt when i was played GTA3 in its day. the town is much more scaled down from the overflowing cities (and state) of vice city and san andreas, respectively. it's good to know all of the shortcuts and alternate routes, like in GTA3.

raublekick

02-25-2007, 04:37 PM

Star Fox Command is pretty fun. It's not really like the original at all, it's all arena based combat (like some of the bosses and levels in 64). I would have preferred a rail shooter, but for what it is, it provides some good times. You can play as a whole slew of characters, which is fun because they all have their own style. There's tons of endings, but the game play is a bit repetitive to really get them all.
