Goddamn Garamond beat me at Blazblue :(

They kinda killed it by using the Light side ending of academy as canon & also like you've said, they've didn't make a new one in 7 years.
Dark side ending of Academy as canon would've been amazing hook for a new one.

Kyle Katarn is so badass that you have to escape from him in the final battle.

George Lucas said that the Light Side events of any of the games is official canon, so it really isn't up to the developers.

What they should do, is cover the events in the New Jedi Order EU novel series focusing on Katarn's involvement. Katarn hasn't died yet, and he shows up numerous times in the novels.

And by far, Katarn is my favorite Jedi.

And by far, Katarn is my favorite Jedi.

Katarn isn't a Jedi.

He's just a guy with a Lightsaber & a few questions.

Yeah he's my fauvorite Star Wars Character probably.

I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you.

After all I've heard about FFXIII, yes, you are right, sir.

Wait, it ended?
I know a new game hasn't been made in a few years, but I didn't know they killed the series.


I'd say it's prob my fav as well.
Battlefront is fun, but so far it's felt a little lackluster.

Rouge Squadron has been great, there's just too few games out there.

Why sin't lucasarts making a new Rogue Squadron game? On the wii they could make a special X-Wing controller like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHZ5FTPYuWE). You could press R2 on teh ship to repair and when you get shot down the figure pops out and the wings fall off. They made a nerf controller so they already have relations with hasbro make it happen!

No. Just no.

Anything 80's toy related is always a bad thing.

But I would love to see another Rogue Squadron. Word is; Factor 5 is busy doing other things -- either that or they're now defunct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_5#Wii) -- like not paying their employees.

Lets see here...trying to finish Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker right now. I spend too much time recruiting people though.

FF VII (nearly 100% complete!! yay)
FF XII
FF I
FF VI
Fatal Frame 2
Haunting Ground
Pokemon Soulsilver
Pokemon Ruby
Pokemon Platinum
Bayonetta
Halo 3 (just got it)
and Dragon Age: Origins
yea, i know its alot

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Texas Ranger.

George Lucas said that the Light Side events of any of the games is official canon, so it really isn't up to the developers.

That's true, all light side endings to Star Wars games are canon. What I want to know is why GL wanted a sequel to Star Wars The Force Unleashed... the first one was terrible.


What they should do, is cover the events in the New Jedi Order EU novel series focusing on Katarn's involvement. Katarn hasn't died yet, and he shows up numerous times in the novels.

TBH, I don't think games made of the New Jedi Order era would be any good, as the novels pretty much cover all that and they only span a relatively small period in time.

Personally, I think games of the Old Republic era would be better, as they'd allow developers more leeway in making a game, but they'd have a large period of time to base them in (4000 years since the Sith War of Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma, then 50 years later the events of Knights of the Old Republic with Revan) and they can create it from start (story, characters etc) while not try to keep characters from the novels in it.


And by far, Katarn is my favorite Jedi.



Revan would bitch slap Katarn into the Black Hole Cluster near Kessel.

Anyway... back on topic. Currently playing the following:

Final Fantasy XI Online
Alpha Protocol
Dragon Age: Origins (for the umpteenth time, still trying to get a couple Xbox Live Achievements)
Transformers: War For Cybertron

DH, you gotta get me caught up on my Star Wars games one of these days; I'm a very old fashioned soul who is only familiar with the films, and the last game I played was Shadows of the Empire for N64 :O

Right now, I'm playing through:
-Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
-Yoshi's Island DS
-Metal Gear Solid(GBC)
-Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Almost finished Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. After that I'll start working on Alpha Protocol myself. Hopefully it won't take me more than a week.

My sister and I picked up Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Heck of a lot of fun, I'm already seeing so many elements from the NES, SNES, and N64 games. Some wicked awesome nostalgia there, along with truckloads of fun in a refreshing new adventure.
Life is good. =P

That and I'm messing around with the AI again in Half-Life 2. I'm noticing there's been an update to how the bullet physics works and stuff, and I don't like it. It's retarded (not that it wasn't before, but worse now) and weird, but also familiar.

Lost Planet 2

Just finished Phoenix Wright: T&T. Damn what an amazing series of games.

I'll go rent Alpha Protocol tomorrow for a week see how that goes.

... in Half-Life 2. I'm noticing there's been an update to how the bullet physics works and stuff, and I don't like it. It's retarded (not that it wasn't before, but worse now) and weird, but also familiar.
Now that I think about it, I think it is more like DooM3.

This:


It finally came in the mail this morning, and I promptly booted it up. I guess it's so supposed to be an open world FPS, but nothing interesting happens unless you go to the designated way-points. So far, the world is rather empty with buildings and trees scattered about. I'm hoping for more depth the longer I spend in the game.

Right now, just WoW and FFVII. I haven't beaten FFVII in years now, so I'm determined to conquer it again. Gonna go play some right now in fact.

I fell in love with my DS again.
<3

I've Finished Jedi Outcast, Now I'm playing Dark Forces II, I've finally made it run on XP.

dissidia

I've Finished Jedi Outcast, Now I'm playing Dark Forces II, I've finally made it run on XP.

My two favorites in the Dark Forces series.

Been playing a lot of XBLA demos lately. Just window shoppin' for now.

The Sims.

These assholes keep trying to kill themselves. It's like they're self aware...

Here's a simple sample (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIkkc9hM578) of what I'm playing. I'm doing alright for a beginner, I would say. Basically the #1 Golden Rule for the game, as I've found, is simply don't run from any battle, no matter how badly you're losing.

Finishing Final Fantasy X now.
Thinking on trying Tales of the Abyss. I'd appreciate if somebody would give their opinions on it.

Still playing FFXI mainly. Started a new game of Dragon Age: Origins as a Mage and still playing Transformers: War for Cybertron.

Been playing some Mortal Kombat 1 through 3 Ultimate against my little brother.

"Nier" and if you have not seen this new thing that Square put their name on just listen to first rew words which included "get your head out of your arz...". Your where not in Kansas anymore with this one and the music is good even not done by Nobuo.

Still on Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Hunting for Green Stars now...

the house of the dead on pc.
its.... different.

and no matter what i do, who i kill or who i save, i can never go into the billard room!

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and Transformers War for Cybertron.

Tales of Innocence. English patch came out this morning. ^^

Dragon Age Origins. Again. I so love this game... I guess I'm just trying to kill time until the Starcraft II Beta re-opens :p

Dragon Age Origins. Again. I so love this game...

On July 6th, another DLC will become available for purchase/download. Leliana's Song (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Leliana%27s_Song_%28DLC%29). I hope BioWare releases origin DLC like this for the rest of the companions.

Just got the last three achievements for Dragon Age: Origins on Xbox Live, so I can put that on the shelf now (after so many playthroughs... I've actually lost count). Now having to decide what to play. Probably go and finish Bully: Scholarship Edition.

I'm not one for DLC. I like the game as it is. But since you mentioned it does it have anything to do with Leliana from the game?

I'm not one for DLC. I like the game as it is. But since you mentioned it does it have anything to do with Leliana from the game?

From what I've read, Leliana's Song is a Origin tale of the Orlesian bard, Leliana, and seems to detail the events leading up to her joining the Chantry in Lothering.

The trailer for this DLC is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LfZAIaMzPI)

Army of Two: The 40th Day

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Killing a bit of time and messing around with Fat Princess some more since I just got the DLC for Pirate/Ninja/Giant class.

Finally broke the seal on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Hopefully this game can keep my attention and is as good as everyone says it is.

I got a bit bored with Dragon Age and I'm not as good with huge swords as I thought I would be. Why do I get destroyed when I play with anything other than a rogue...

Whatever. The Starcraft II Beta still isn't open and Blizzard are shamelessly not giving us any details as to when we can expect it to open so I took the time to play Bioshock.

Crash Bandicoot 2

Final Fantasy II the anniversary edition on the PSP. Has to be the best of the remakes.

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires.

Demon's Souls: Black Phantom Edition.

I can't believe it - a modern game that's actually quite hard! Cracking game, though.

Playing FFXI when I can or for scheduled events. Still waiting for my Linkshell to get back together.

Was given a copy of Bully Scholarship Edition, so decided to play that.

Completed Final Fantasy Tactics today... NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ONE!


OOOH, YEEEEAAAAAH~

Right now I'm alternating between MvC2 and Capcom vs. SNK 2

Completed Final Fantasy Tactics today... NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ONE!


OOOH, YEEEEAAAAAH~

I love me some Final Fantasy Tactics.

Dropped Jedi Knight for the moment, Fucking Pip owns my patience.

Playing some Torchlight & Diablo 2 mods on LAN

Power Rangers on SNES.

Started playing Secret Files: Tunguska for the DS last night. It's pretty good but I have a feeling the puzzles are going to be completely inane and very cryptic.

Star Ocean TTEOT. It's been a good five years since I even touched that game.

Oh yeah Starcraft II Beta is up again :D It's pretty obvious what I'll be doing.

So my computer crapped the bed. . .
It's not getting back up. . .
*sniff* *tear*

Since, that happened, I can't play Breed anymore -- and it won't work on my gf's computer (which is what I'm on now), so I've decided to start playing through the entirety of this:



I've gone through Half Life 2 (as this is my second playthrough -- first time on PC) and about half way through Episode 1. So really:



I love these games. It's just a shame that Episode 3 isn't out yet -- it better be longer than four hours. . .hurr.


the house of the dead on pc.
its.... different.

and no matter what i do, who i kill or who i save, i can never go into the billiard room!

Omission to save space on the disc perhaps?

Dragon Quest IX

^ How is it?

Isn't that like asking "How's Pokemon blue? I've only played red"?

I wouldn't think so, considering that Dragon Quest IX is its own game, whereas Pokemon Blue and Red were essentially mirrors of each other. A more applicable question, to poke fun at the sameness of all the games is to compare them to, say, Dynasty Warriors. Though, I would disagree, and say that the games are each different, and present completely different scenarios and tech.

I don't know why I just did that there, but that's the stream of thought that went through my head when I saw your response. . .

I beat Half Life 2: Episode 1, so now on to Episode 2.

Steam gave away Portal sometime back and I took advantage of the offer for no reason.
I got around to playing the game Saturday and daaaaaamn, that was a lot of fun for three hours. I felt sorry for the lady after that asinine AI blew up.

Being dragged back into the facility like that, I almost raged.
Can't wait for Portal 2. =D

Dragon Quest IX (DS), World of Warcraft, Persona 3 (PSP)

Currently replaying Earthbound and Breath of Fire IV, gonna give Wild Arms 2 a try pretty soon.

Isn't that like asking "How's Pokemon blue? I've only played red"?

No?

I'm still on P3P, but I'm really tempted to start DQ9.


Damn slot-1!

Super Metroid.
Just got the moon boots.

Team Fortress 2, Super Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 sometimes, also Virtua Fighter uh... 5 I think it was.
Also considering playing Mirror's Edge.

The Beatles Rockband

and

Way of the Samurai 3

Saints Row 2

No?

Was thinking of Dragon Warrior Monsters but didnt care to edit my mistake.

Still on Super Metroid.

Damn that was a very graphic death for the red croc thingy.

Bah... keep effing up on the 'brave clear' scenario battles in Summon Night 4.

Red Croc thingie? Ridley?

Bah... keep effing up on the 'brave clear' scenario battles in Summon Night 4.

Red Croc thingie? Ridley?

Not Ridley he's a pterodactyl.
This guy you had to shoot in the mouth to make him slide backwards and eventually knock him into lava where he melts painfully.

I am drawing a blank... can't be Kraid. Been ages since I played that game. I only know Ridley, Kraid, that weird water-boss-octopus-thingie-maybe

Crocomire!

That's him! Tee Hee teh croc thing's called Crocomire.

Alternating at the moment between 3D Dot Game Heroes, Magic Online, and Picross 3D.

GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Final Fantasy XI Online

On PC - Legacy of Kain: Defiance
On DS - Ace Attorney: Investigations

Both awesome games! :3

Dunno if it actually counts as gaming, but I'm working on a little EarthBound hack. Guess the gaming part comes from testing out parts.

On GBA: Mother 3. Trying to kill myself by attempting to get a 16-hit combo on the final battle.

Valkyria Chronicles

Saw Ndi playing it and i hadn't played mine since i got it for Christmas 2 years ago, so i decided to give it a go.

Loving it now.

Still playing Way of the Samurai 3.

The story in the game is such trash

pretty fun though (maybe a little too slow)

Chewey, you just have no patience.

Also, I thought the game was fun but it got stuck in my backlog after an hour or so because I got it when I first had my ps3 this past Christmas.

I finished the game, man.

Once again I fail to give you shit. I'll get you, chewey.
> : (

Alien Swarm! It's free on Steam! What more do you want?

To be able to download it. It seems the servers were full because everyone and their mother wanted to get their hands on this game.

Ridely is next I guess but first I have to get through these invincible space pirates. I think they're vulnerable when they blink yellow after jumping so I'll probably just spam screw attack between them.

Still playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The enemies certainly aren't messing around in "Crushing" mode. Just need to finish the game in this mode to earn the last two trophies.

doom 3

Super Street Fighter 4

Sly 2: Band of Thieves

So, with my new computer, I've been testing various PC games, to see how they run on the system. I've since put every game to the test with all the settings on high. It's amazing how well the Source Engine based games look when you have the shininess turned on. I suggest looking into Goldeneye Source if you have an excellent PC, because they were trying to put in every effect that the Source engine could handle into that mod.

Finally got to play Battlefield 2, of which I've been dying to play, because my old PC couldn't handle it. The last time I played the game was in '05. It's been so long, my old friend.

Since I've done all I could with the games I have for PC, I'm back to HL2: Ep2, and I'm currently babysitting the gnome. hurrr.

I don't like you now Maxx.


I tried running TF:WFC and my computer told me to umpf myself.

Star Wars: Jedi Academy for the PC.

I'm mostly playing a multiplayer (MOD) called: Movie Battles II (http://www.moviebattles.com), if you have the game, give the mod a try *You can purchase the game via Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/6020) or Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Knight-Academy-Pc/dp/B0000A2MCN) in a cheap price*. It's just one of the most awesome-popular mods out there for a PC-Star Wars game to bring you the best realistic action-packed Star Wars experience in all mods out there (1st/3rd Shooter & Saber-Fights). It takes practice with some patience to get a hand on some of the MODs new multiplayer mechanism, but if you are a true Star Wars fan, then this won't disappoint you at all.

Batman Arkham Asylum

Limbo.

It...is brutal. Beautiful, atmospheric, challenging, and brutal. One of the best games i've ever played.

Hello,
For me it's :
- Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey
- Etrian Odyssey

- (PS2) Summon Night: Gran-Thesis (seems a bit easy -.-)
- (PS2) Black Cat... gyah so hard x.x

I don't like you now Maxx.

Never do that unless you absolutely have to.

I successfully babysat the gnome, and sent him off to space. . .where he promptly blew up. So now I'm trapped in the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center. GLaDOS is having her way with me as we speak.



btw, this is my first time through this game.

Good gameage, you should enjoy that.

Looking forward to the second iteration already.

Just finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on Crushing... so nothing at the moment. Waiting until Metriod: Other M is released next month to play something.

I may go back and play some Resident Evil 5 now and then provided Neg wants to play. ;)

I borrowed GOW Collection and am playing though GOW2

Killed Ridley and farted around picking up missiles and stuff.

Looking forward to the second iteration already.
Same here.

Decided to give Torchlight a try. It's alright, I guess.

syberia on the xbox.
this game is... good, quite good actually.

Just started Unsolved Crimes for the DS. While it's extremely easy, it doesn't matter to me much since I love all detective/mystery type games. Plus I only paid $9 for it.

FINALLY beat all the challenge stages in Zoids DS: Legend of Arcadia >.< (Yay, I got Tita and Midori. XD... gyah, at level 1)

im currently playing the legend of zelda...:)

FF IX. It's a bit...

Crap so far. :(

Star Wars: Battlefront 2

Just beat Super Metroid.


With the bosses in this game I like to start with dogging and using charge gun at first then once the monster is starting to go faster and act erratic I unleash supermissles and after exhausting those regular missiles.

Playing Persona 3 Portable
Final Fantasy XI

I can't remember the name of the monster in Maridia, but killing that boss with the electric grappler rope was total win on Nintendo's part.

Darksiders.

At first I was 'meh, GOW rip off with one attack'

Then I was 'oooh, scythe, two attacks yay'

Then after the tremor glove, hookshot thing, epon...uh ruin, I realised I was playing Zelda with lots and lots of blood.

When I got my Aperture Science Glaive-Mounted Portal Device, I was hooked.

Sure, Darksiders takes bits of game design from everywhere and mushes them together; but it's GOOD game design, wrapped in a semi-decent story. Not quite as epic as God of War III - but it's hard to out-epic a game that starts with you climbing a Titan that's climbing Mount Olympus so you can kill motherfucking Zeus.

All you needed to do was grap the handbar quickly and pull it back and forth a few times.

Did you get the cookie one?

I do move the handle and I've tried a ton of times, the icon pops up like I've got it but it doesn't get counted in my menu :mad: I've heard a lot of other people have the same problem with it.

Nah, I haven't really played any of the other side games........ I'm trying to figure out the fishing thing.......

Ahh, good point! But just imagine what he could do with Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart! Now that'd be a force to be reckoned with :D

Liver is the new heart :D

Lol, they should redo Captain Planet and dub the word "liver" in over "heart".

I'm thinking about going back to Bayonetta to play it on Very Easy, Easy, and then Hard since I've beaten it on Normal.

Also, I can't imagine Captain Planet using "Liver" as a source for power xD

MacGyver doesn't need any elemental crap... give him access to a office supply store, and watch out!

I don't see a World of Diablo or World of Starcraft, do you? But I do see a World of Warcraft. If Blizzard wants to continue the storyline of the Warcraft universe, they'll released a WoW expansion. As long as WoW exists, don't even think about a Warcraft RTS happening ever again. Frankly, I doubt there will even be one after WoW is gone.

the warcraft lore is better than the diablo and starcraft lore.
warcraft was born an RTS, and it shall die as an RTS.

Totally unrelated post, but whatever you can keep lying to yourself if you really must.

As long as WoW exists, don't even think about a Warcraft RTS happening ever again. Frankly, I doubt there will even be one after WoW is gone.

Given that WarCraft III is still played competitively (see the current European WarCraft Invitational), there is definitely a demand for a WarCraft RTS. It would be difficult to make it story based, but there is no reason they couldn't develop a multiplayer-only WarCraft IV - take the races and lore from WoW, and build a multiplayer RTS around it.

When I first heard about battlegrounds, with Lumber Mills and Blacksmiths, i envisioned a grand RTS with one player directing other PCs, and 'spawning' characters based on resources collected. This was before i'd ever played an MMO, mind. As unrealistic as that seems now, when I first played a BG, the FPS style run-in-die-spawn was disappointing; there is still room for macro-leveled WarCraft.

It's perfectly possible to make an RTS after WoW. They could end that story arc on a cliffhanger then bring in the rest in WC4.

It's not like lore has to end with MMOs...

I just bought Scott Pilgrim on PSN so I'll be playing that through the weekend, and downloaded demos for Ace Combat X2 (JP) and Valkyria Chronicles 2 (US) on the PSP.

As much as I love my Xbox 360 Elite... I actually hate it at the moment. 2 major problems have hampered my gaming. First, freezing. Not matter the game, the action freezes leaving me unable to move my character, pull up the ingame menu or even the Xbox Guide (Via the Xbox button in the middle of the controller). Second... Red Ring Of Death. I think I'm cursed or something, as this is the third Xbox 360 (first elite) I have which has done this. Fortunately, it's still under warranty, but I'll be unable to play any of my favorite games for a month or so.

So... that brings me to what I'm playing at the moment. I've dug up my 'fatboy' PS2 which I haven't used since December of 2006... and it still works! Playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas/Tony Hawk's American Wasteland/Dynasty Warriors 5 (As well as the Xtreme Legends and Empires expansions.). I'll be using my PS2 for awhile, til my Elite comes back.

Ogre Battle 64 and Front Mission 5. Both of which I'm enjoying very much.

Shadowgate

I forgot how much this game likes to kill you. It's fun ^_^

Started playing Nostalgia for the DS. Feels like a kiddie version of Skies of Arcadia. I hope it becomes more difficult at some point.

Taken to playing the original Shadow Hearts.

Just finished Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on the PS3. An excellent addendum to the original trilogy, but way too short - like most Prince of Persia games, unfortunately :(

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good too. Unlike the 2008 Prince of Persia :(

Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars

I know, right? Even Nolan North couldn't save it. The Forgotten Sands had everything that made Sands of Time great - acrobatics, traps, humour, and a story you actually cared about, while improving on them, PLUS borrowing Assassin's Creed II's combat system.

Having an XP system meant that I actually looked forward to enemies, unlike the previous PoPs, where they were just chores between awesome parkour.

I'd still like to see an open-world Prince of Persia (using the AC engine) done right - although PoP's best puzzles are the linear trap sections. Maybe they need to follow AC's model of having buildings with a linear 'solution'.

I still haven't played Forgotten Sands, despite being a huge fan of the Sands of Time series. I should be getting around to it soon enough, hopefully.

But to be frank, I think the Prince of Persia games have pretty well run their course. The idea of an open world PoP game in the style of Assassin's Creed could be appealing, but no more than an actual Assassin's Creed game, especially if they continue adding the best elements of PoP gameplay.

Well the story wasn't as good as Sands of Time, but I'd be prepared to call it above average. But the Prince's face looks weird, man. Just... weird.

How exactly did it borrow the battle system from Assassin's Creed II? They're pretty much completely different. Not that any one of them is particularly good.

I felt the XP system was a bit unnecessary, to be honest. It's a bit of distraction, if nothing else. You say you look forward to enemies, but the way I see it, there's an extra chore I have to do before the platforming sections.

You're right about the face looking weird. I think they tried to cross the 'original' prince with Jake Gyllenhal and ended up with a freaky looking hybrid.

Most of the time in Assassin's Creed II you fight using the lock on (well I do, anyway), but for some of the trickier achievements you need to fight free form - and when you take away the lock on, increase the speed about three times, you get The Forgotten Sands' combat system. Given that The Forgotten Sands is made using Ubi's AC engine, I can imagine it was easier than creating a new combat system.

You're probably right about the XP thing, but I'm a levelling whore. It's why I've got 4 80's in WoW.

Prak - I can say without any reservation that The Forgotten Sands is the best Prince of Persia game when it comes to platforming. After the middling reviews it got I waited until I could pick it up cheap (I found it in a bargain bin mislabeled for 80% off, haha), but I would have happily paid full price for it.

Playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII.

Repost! Mainly because I'm now back to it after finishing the Advanced courses in Portal.



But within the MegaMan X Collection on GCN.

Re-playing Max Payne I & II: The Fall of Max Payne on the PC.

Currently? It's either a toss up between Transformers: War for Cybertron, or Modern Warfare 2.

Trying to get a bit of RE5 in, but mostly playing P3P or The Beatles: Rockband

You wanna grind for money or BP, lemme know.

Alright, still need to collect BSAA emblems... :/

We can do that, too. Wish Rock Band mics worked on every game. Oh well, we'll just text.

I'm kinda ready to shoot Shadowgate, anyway.

But, whenever is good for you. Surprise me.

Decided to go and finish the only PAL released Suikoden I haven't finished yet: Suikoden V.

Doing a bit of King of Fighters.

Also, apparently Mass Effect 2 is coming to PS3 in January?

:( @ Neg & Asa

I wanna play too...

At the moment, between Bejeweled 2 + Blitz and a bunch of random kiddie games on the iPad and Bejeweled Twist on the N97.

Tired of what I have on the PSP and DSLite already, and not in the mood to spend more than US$10 on a game, and I'm still without my PCs.

Because of Scott Pilgrim I've played super Mario World & replayed Turtles in Time.

Final Fantasy II

Currently changed gears to delve into some good old Doom 3. Then when I get it back from my friend, and have beaten Doom 3 within a few days because it's that addicting, Dead Space, which I will beat in equally short time.

Just finished Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time because I realised it had been almost 6 months since I last played it. I'm still playing Starcraft 2 on and off, other than that not much.

Turtles in Time.

Best TMNT game ever... next to Tournament Fighters. For the life of me, I could never figure out how to Rat King's Rat Bomber.

Dragon Age Origins (yay, it's not freezing)

3-D Dot Game Heroes

Dragon Age Origins. Yeah, thought I'll give it a chance again for the sake of understanding why everyone is drooling over it.

Nobody is drooling over it. Personally, I just found it incredibly weird that you would go as far as to say it's one of the worst RPG's ever made.

Where in my post I said it was one of the worst RPG's ever made?


Dragon Age: Origins. Not only it's one of the most disappointing games, but also one of the worst RPG's I've played.

So one of the worst RPG's you've played isn't one of the worst RPG's ever made?

This only leads me to believe that you either play the best of the best and Dragon Age felt mediocre and in turn terrible, or that you play the worst of the worst and you feel Dragon Age is the undeserving heir to the throne.

Kane and Lynch Dog days

It is : Gamescom: Mass Effect 2 Coming To PS3 (http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1113393p1.html).

Why it's not being bundled with the first Mass Effect as well, I don't understand.

Still playing Suikoden V. Definitely getting me back into the Suiko series, so when I finish this I may play the first again (then go through the rest of the series). I just wish Konami released the third installment in PAL territories...

Interesting how you came to such utterly stupid conclusion.

For me to call it one of the worst RPG's ever made I would have to compare it with all other RPG's that were made and I never done that nor am I going to.

Super Mario All-Stars snes

Actually, that's pretty simple. The first one was funded and published by Microsoft. They own the property, and there is absolutely no way they'll let EA bring it to the PS3.

They might be able to do what Ninja Gaiden did, but Microsoft is probably desperate about this and won't let EA do that either.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Puzzle Quest 2 at the moment. It's freaking addictive.

So finished up Warrior Within. Still don't like it very much. Got a few more days till school starts so I'll be playing Persona 4 until then. And Starcraft 2 on and off.

Gonna start playing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom again

Back to playing Final Fantasy XI and all my other Xbox 360 games, thanks to my Tax Return and getting Xbox 360 Slim.

Currently playing Quake 4; while its graphics are far superior to Doom 3, a game I too often compare it to, its overall quality is diminished by its staggeringly short play length. I've only been at it for a handful of hours and I've already just defeated Voss (poor bastard didn't deserve to die ; ; ). But overall, it's still got a lot of replay value and a surprisingly good cast of characters, rather than just nameless ciphers whom I watch die around me in the heat of combat. I'm likin' it.

Stop changing your username and avatar so often O.o

Sorry; this username's gonna be semi-permanent as the former one caused me troubles when browsing my profile.

currently playing sonic 2 and Legacy of Ys 1 and 2

Far superior graphics!?

Do you know what game engine means?

Right, but Quake 4 looks a lot more refined; hands don't consist of three welded-together fingers and one pointer, faces have so much more detail, textures are more crisp, etc.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ with a beta English patch (mainly to report bugs and glitches from it. The one making the patch knows what the problem is and how to fix it, but he wants to translate the rest of theater mode and I think the bubble text first).

Plants vs. Zombies.

Simplistic, yet addictive. And it has catchy BGM to boot.

Far superior graphics!?

Do you know what game engine means?

Half Life 1 was built on id Tech 2 (the Quake II engine), and the difference in graphics quality is night and day - just because it's based on the same tech, doesn't mean that you can't adjust texture quality or polygon count.

Far superior graphics!?

Do you know what game engine means?

Have you ever compared Unreal Engine games? Big differences sometimes.

Thanks guys! I was trying to think of examples to use, but I drew a blank :-/ Pretty crazy to think HL1 is just a beefed-up Q2 in many respects! Would've been interesting to guide other marines around in Q2 in a HL1 fashion; "Okay, I'll follow you!" "Roger that, let's run like hell!"

"You're going to have to leave me here, Gor . . . I mean nameless marine, there's a piece of glass on the ground that's blocking me from advancing further."

Idiot HL1 scientists.


edit: Oh, and right now I'm gaming not only Quake 4, but also alternating between it and Warcraft III that I bought. WCIII is a good game, but I really think they could've done a bit better job on the character portraits; some of them are insanely hard to look at. Other than that, I love this game!

We should totally play Warcraft III sometime! What's your username?

I'll PM it. :D
