Play any good games lately?

Recommended Posts

You know, videogames. I think we play those once in awhile, don't we? Lately I've been playing Saints Row 2 again. Still haven't touched online play with it, but the single player mode is always fun to blast through. Dissidia and Professor Layton 2 come out in a few weeks, so I'm feeling pretty psyched for those two. Professor Layton especially, I don't think I've touched my DS in weeks.

So what are you up to gaming wise?

Tend to switch between Morrowind and Oblivion. Oblivion is prettier, but I loathe the horrible voice acting (especially the female Argonian/Khajiit and the male Dunmer voices (one voice for ALL the elven races WHY?)!), and frankly I think Morrowind has more atmosphere.

I'm still playing Beyond Good & Evil. Started playing Psychonauts. Kingdom Hearts 2. Viewtiful Joe on PS2. Actually attempting to finish Cave Story.

I start too many games.

You're not the only one who does that.

But recently I started playing Blue Dragon. Considering it's not a Square Enix game, Blue Dragon sure has a lot of references to Final Fantasy (and Okage: Shadow King, if you know that game). However, it's really awesome that you can pit enemy monsters against each other.

There was a 40% off used games sale at a local game store a few days ago, so I bought a bunch of DS and GameCube games that I missed out on.

One that surprised me was Megaman X: Command Mission for the GC, a turn-based RPG. I've sunk about 10 hours into it already and I really like it (and I don't really enjoy turn-based RPGs). This game released in 2004 and I didn't even know that it existed.

Also, F-Zero GX. Been replaying the shit out of it lately with friends.

Well, ever since I modded my PSP, and some person got me into Megaman, I thought I might as well play Powered Up... [opinion] It isn't bad. [/opinion]

The reason why I put tags: It's my opinion, and I don't wanna start a argument about which Megaman game is better, etc, etc.

I remember Command Mission X. I used to mod a Mega Man forum, there was quite a bit of controversy about it. Mostly childish hardcore fan beliefs about what makes a good Mega Man game, but I thought it was good and merited a look-see into it.

I just got un-addicted to Disgaea DS. Played it so much in a few sittings I cramped my right hand until it was useless for a day or two. Good thing about being ambidextrous is that I used the stylus with my left hand instead. Currently though, I'm played Knights In The Nightmare on the DS. Atlus makes hit or miss RPGs *cough*Luminous Arc*cough* but this one is amazing. Look up a video of the gameplay and you'll see just how intense and strategic the game can be. I'm sure this one will be over looked, but it really is worth the money. Plus, the game comes with the OST on a CD. More games should follow that lead.

Strangely, I find myself played Halo (the 1st one) a lot. Brings back the memories of wasted Saturdays and Mountain Dew. All these years later I can still feel like a bad-ass soloing Legendary mode. Can't really stop loving that game though. Ever.

I have been playing Symphony of the Night, and BOY am I happy that I am. everything about it is great fun, even watching the enemy's animations.

I recently played The Darkness after a long time of hearing about it. I must say it was a wonderfully fun game, even if it was quite linear under normal circumstances. (but then every game is if you think about it.)

I've got my resources spread thinly across quite a few games. I picked up fallout 3 again with mods for the pc, haven't really played too much of that. I've been in a real Shin Megami kick after playing Devil survivor (A+ game btw) and have finally picked up persona 3 again, I just got Aegis and am loving the game now (though i get bummed when it comes time to dungeon grind, I WANT MORE SOCIAL LINKS AND STORY!).

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 finally came out for PSN so i've been taking the time to relearn it and own bitches online. I've also picked up final fantasy 7 again now that it was released on PSN, I can play on the go on my psp and then transfer the save to my ps3 when at home for big screen action, I still fucking love that game.

Oh and if you guys haven't heard there's 2 games i'd like to tell you about, first one, shadow complex is coming out for xbox live arcade which is pretty much a straight up metroid clone with a different character and setting, i hear it's fucking choice stuff for $15. The other one I wanted to tell you guys about is for the PS3, a game was released called fat princess, fucking fun times are had in that game, think capture the flag in medieval times with upgradeable classes like mage warrior and archer, except the flag is a princess that you feed with cake to make super fat so the other team has trouble bringing her back. It's probably one of the best $15 i've spent on PSN. It's online, 16 v 16 matches so the matches get pretty intense with so many people doing things.

P.S. Final Fantasy Dissidia comes out next week in America :D :D :D, just wanted you guys to know...

Devil survivor (A+ game btw)

Bullshit. Devil Survivor is good, but it's hardly A+. A- to a regular A at best. Sometimes I even feel like it's a B+ or just plain a B. Too many escort missions, and the combat is really pretty shallow. Compared to other SMT games, it's not that special.

And its short. Short and sweet. But short none-the-less. Short is never a good thing for a strategy RPG, regardless of how many potential endings it has to play through. Just ask Tactics Ogre!

I quite enjoyed Devil Survivor. Could have done without the music, though. It's like Timmy just joined his first band, learned how to play guitar, and decided to compose a song solely of just looping guitar wails. Also, the game was too unrealistic. No way could someone support themselves with milk silos that huge. Christ.

Been replaying the Mega Man Zero series. On the third one, which I barely remember. Hooray for managing Cyber Elves mid-mission!

Been getting back into some good old System Shock 2. The fan missions for it are really well done and kill about 8-10 hours each.

Oh hay, I'm interning with one of the artists in that game. I don't have anything else to contribute; I just like jerking my epeen like a 12 year old :V

Love that game, though. Love to see another.

EDIT: aw yea, essgee. Dissidia is going to be awesome. They added a lot of new moves for me to try out >:D
