What are you playing right now?

[Phoenix Gamma]

I HAVE DOWNLOADED POKEMON DIAMOND. THIS BETTER BE GOOD. >:

I am NOT A FAN of the fact that each new game means the total number of Pokemon gets higher and getting 150 of them 12 years ago was a tedious task enough. But fuck I've got OCD so let's get this shit going

When you start learning about the hidden stats each monster has, you'll never escape. And if you have friends to play with, well shit...

I have a 300+ hour save :(

[Fathom Zero]

Still doesn't beat my 420+ hour Silver record. I can't believe I wasted that much time over a year.

[darkvare]

i have spent around 500 hours on ssf4

[Esuohlim]

My highest save on any game ever was FFX at maybe 75 hours.

For Pokemon games I think Silver wins at around 50 hours. Seriously, how do you guys not hit a point where it gets completely boring. Everytime I play a new game now I set up a system where I go "OK, I need to catch X number of Pokemon between each badge" and even then I don't finish

[Phoenix Gamma]

Team building. Once you play good players who Max-Min their stats, you need to start building whole teams for specific strategies. Then you start messing withtheir stats. Then you breed duplicates because a Lucario with a Special moveset is different from a Physical moveset. Then you need to breed to get special Egg Moves because the only way to get a Togekiss with Nasy Plot is to get a female Togetic and a Male Nasty Plot Pilachu to fuck. Then one day you wake up and a year has passed and you're covered in goat's blood.

... But Yea if you play it alone it gets old.

[Fathom Zero]

I caught all pokemon, and some through trading. Traded with a lot of people. I also raised most to Level 100. Most legendary ones anyway.

[OxBlood]

About 3hrs into Splatterhouse. I´m kinda impressed, it´s really not bad. Not that smooth here and there but very nice. Love all the Lovecraft-references :)

And as a special Bonus I finally got revenge on the universe because now I have a Splatterhouse game with german text on the cover, something that was unthinkable back in the day when a young Oxblood saw Splatterhouse 2 when it was new and thought "This is kinda cool, why can´t I get this in Germany?" Oh and of course all three Originals are on the disc too which is especially nice :)

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The bonus splatterhouse games on the disc sounds definitely worth it Ox.

I'm getting hooked on Black Ops. :(

[Dimnos]

The old games being on the disc alone make it worth buying. The new game is just icing on the cake. :)

[Danny 4 Eyes]

I still play the Splatterhouse games nowadays. Am looking forward to playing the new one. Currently I am playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and enjoying it immensly. Also playing Smackdown vs Raw 2011. Need for Speed is a blast on multiplayer.

[stevetothepast]

I'm getting hooked on Black Ops. :(


I've been bankruptin fools all day. :shocked

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

We gotta play sometime steve. I'm going to see if my gf is sleeping right now.

[Fathom Zero]

Halfway through BLOPS. Either Reznov's dead or he never existed. Conventions are fucking stupid. I hate games/movies/books.

I thought Gary Oldman couldn't be ruined. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got my heart shaped reticle.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dear Steam:
FUCK YOU STOP TAKING MY MONEY WITH YOUR SALES.

Love, PG.

[dextire]

:lol What did you buy?
I just bought Vampire - Bloodlines after someone mentioned it on here the other day.
I even have the disk around here somewhere but Steam makes it so damn easy. :)

[Phoenix Gamma]

Well outside of the sale so far I got Poker Night and reserved Super Meat Boy (<333333) and so far with the sale I got Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, Rhythm Zone, and the Polynomial (sup Indie pack?) and I have my eye on a few other games.

[Fathom Zero]

MEAT BWOY

have you played it yet, mate? It's fucking brutal. It's easily the hardest game I've ever played, but not because it's cheap. It's not the kind of hard that makes you angry. The only other experience I've had that with is Demon's Souls. SATISFYINGLY DIFFICULT.

[Sam]

Super Meat Boy is the best thing to happen to video games EVER.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I only played the flash version. I told you I don't have a 360 :V

[Fathom Zero]

YOU MUST GET ONE FOR KINECTING WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS

I think I'll stick with my Wii.

[OxBlood]

I discovered Dwarf Fortress yesterday. Bad idea. One moment it´s 21h, the next thing I know it´s 2 in the fucking morning...it doesn´t even matter if I try focussing on understanding WHAT to do or HOW to do it...it´s both fucking complicated and awesome at the same time.

Oh and my Dungeon Maker 2 PSP came in the mail today...finally. I could for the love of me not find a new copy around here and only one stinking used version was available on Amazon...I hope that thing works...

[DougClayton4231]

So far, I've failed to beat all three of the Castlevania DS games. Is there something that I'm missing? I've beaten a bunch of the bosses and gotten to the end, after I beat the boss, the castle collapses and I get a game over screen. WTF?

[darkvare]

which one you are talking about?

[Chojin]

goldeneye for wii
need for speed for ps3
vindictus for pc

schimid conned me into getting NFS...it's rly ok at best

[hot Kukuro]

working on Xenosaga: Episode II for like the 3rd time.

Tbh, I still haven't even cracked my ep. III open yet cuz every time I play its predecessors, I'll immediately move onto something else, then forget the minute details of the RPG and can't bring myself to finish the trilogy by starting III. It all has to be fluid, so I'll just start the whole series all over again and like 110 hrs. later, feel the urge to move on to a SH, CT, or something.

[Dimnos]

Just play it already.

[DougClayton4231]

which one you are talking about?

All of them have done the same thing but I'm playing Portrait of Ruin right now. I have no clue how to actually beat the game.

[Nick]

How can you have no clue how to beat Portrait of Ruin. Just look at a faq.

Just trudge through episode 2. I didn't care for it really until I learned to be really good with the zone breaks. Shion KOS-MOS and Ziggy are the best for consecutive breaks.

All of Episode III is amazing.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Super Meat Boy on PC is buggy as all fuck. It's more stable as of this afternoon and it's getting gamepad support fixed tomorrow so that people without 360 gamepads can play without using a controller emulator. At least custom levels will make up for it in January.

Also I had to skip on of the levels in Rapture and I'm stuck on the last one in The End before the boss. And I can't unlock The Kid because McMullen hates me and wants to drain all the love out of my heart and fill it with burning hatred.

It's working.

[Chojin]

i bought sonic the hedgehog 2006 for 360 today because i watched a video showing off all its hilarious bugs and wanted to experience it for myself

schimid and i are actually having a lot of fun with it. well, at it. the game is so broken, it's hilarious.

it did however make me yell at it once, and that's the first time i've screamed at a game since mario kart double dash.

[MLE]

Or since you couldn't beat my ghost.

[monster_movie_night]

I like the original Zelda Ocarina Of time but I also played the master quest version which make the dungeon quite different and difficult.

I gave everyone warning about the Kid. It took me five hours with a gamepad. Good luck, kiddo!

[OxBlood]

Okay I guess I understand Dwarf Fortress more or less, at least the basics. The Keep is coming along quite okay I guess, some experiments with water flooded some of my caverns but then again that´s what they were there for.
Ran into a problem when everything froze over when winter came but I realized that my Dwarves can life off of wine and be okay...gotta think about constructing a well when spring comes around again. No enemies so far but if as much as one goblin shows up, I fucked I guess.


And I played some Hot Pursuit with two friends yesterday...beat both of them in the first race (normally they are great at racing and I suck more than you can imagine at these kind of games) and wrecked one of them as a racer while he was a cop...he rage-quitted *sigh*. He´s a great guy but he can´t stand losing...at all.

[DougClayton4231]

I was playing Black Ops online last night and I honestly can't understand what people find so entertaining about it. I've been playing FPS' for damn near 20 years and I still don't understand what's so entertaining about running in circles, shooting each other in the ass. I'll probably never get it though. When you win, it's meh and when you lose it's meh.

I think that the only shooter I've actually spent time playing online was L4D because it was unique and exciting, at least until L4D2 came out and killed the playerbase :P

[Phoenix Gamma]

Got an email telling me to stop seeding Sonic 4. Which is stupid. I've seeded MUCH better games!

Beat Dr. Featus in Super Meat Boy last night, and the level I skipped in Rapture. Working on the Dark World in world 3 now before I even attempt getting The Kid again.

[Fathom Zero]

I've got A+'s in every level. All I need to beat it is getting the bandages. How've you done on Cotton Alley?

[Fathom Zero]

My highest save on any game ever was FFX at maybe 75 hours. For Pokemon games I think Silver wins at around 50 hours. Seriously, how do you guys not hit a point where it gets completely boring.

I was in the fourth and fifth grade and I was poor and had no other games or systems for a very long time. My mum was very cool and saved up $20 to get the game for my birthday.

[Phoenix Gamma]

PETA made Super Tofu Boy because they love being piggybacking cock holsters.

Team Meat's response?
How many PETA members does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. PETA can't change anything.

Then they added Tofu Boy as a playable character when you type "petaphile" in the character select. You can't even beat level 1 with him. That's how awful he is. :lol

[Chojin]

that sounds like a dev team i can get behind :lol

[executioneer]

man i might buy the game just for that :lol

[Dimnos]

Thats amazing.

[OxBlood]

Played through Dead Nation today. A great little game and wohoo - Germany´s Number 8 (meh) and I´m Number 7 in my Country...was 3rd yesterday...though we only have about 700 People playing aparently.

[MarioRPG]

Ffuuu I'm still going through the Ace Attorney games, up to Apollo's game.

I really want to play super meat boy though... I could fiend that for hours.

[King Hadas]

Can someone explain to me why Xenogears is considered good? I tried playing it and couldn't find anything appealing.

[LordSappington]

I'm not playing it YET, but I pre-order the Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2. It'll come with concept art, a soundtrack, it gave me the code for Ignition (which is surprisingly hard), and best of all, a REPLICA PLASMA CUTTER! A really good deal for $80.

[DougClayton4231]

I've been playing the first Phoenix Wright and it's surprisingly entertaining.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Can someone explain to me why Xenogears is considered good? I tried playing it and couldn't find anything appealing.

The storyline is crazy. Plus I really liked the battle system.

[Esuohlim]

An old friend of mine used to get very emotional (read: gay) whenever Xenogears was brought up in a conversation. As if it were a goddamn masterpiece.

He let me borrow it once but I don't have an open enough mind for the "30+ minutes of originally drawn anime" advertised on the back of the case.

[MarioRPG]

I've been playing the first Phoenix Wright and it's surprisingly entertaining.

The last case is pretty coo.

If you read the storyline even without playing the game its pretty good. I had to read a synopsis of it while playing it to get everything because its jam packed.

[MLE]

Fuck yes Phoenix Wright.

[OxBlood]

Phoenix Wright is fucking awesome. I love how the game managed to give me the feeling of fighting a boss while standing in court. It´s the great "boss"-theme from the first game...I think it´s called Cornered...really great game though I never finished it...still got Apollo Justice lying around...

Also, I bought Patapon 2 and Grandia off the PSN, I needed those, especially Grandia, I´ll never forget the music in the main menu, it´s one of those tracks that reminds me why I play Videogames.
Then I went and got Breath of Fire 3 for PSP for...5 bucks I think and a new Vanquish for 30 cause I have to play that game before the year is through.
Bof 3 is...clumsy I guess. It loads and loads and loads and the battles take forever but I love the BOF-Series so whatever.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Ryu, Rei and Garr. Rei in leaders spot and use the stance where everyone has the same speed as the party leader. Having Garr get in an Ex attack just feels good.

[DougClayton4231]

That prosecutor who trained your rival is a complete dick in Phoenix Wright. I'm stuck on the fourth case (mainly because I've been studying for exams.)

What puzzle games would you guys recommend for the DS?

[OxBlood]

What, Manfred von Karma? I laughed my ass off when I first read his name :lol But yeah, he´s a fucking bastard.


...Puzzle Games...hm...Puzzle Quest? I´m sure you´ve played it already but that´s all I can think of right now...I´m not a big fan of puzzle games...oh, I kinda liked Meteos though. And the game where you´re that old adventurer-fart and on the lower screen there´s that match3-Stuff going on, forgot the name...that was pretty cool.

[Esuohlim]

Puzzle Quest is some addictive shit

[DougClayton4231]

I'll try out Puzzle Quest. I had no idea when I got a DS that it had about 6000 games made for it.

Oh yeah, Metal Slug 7 is the shit.

[OxBlood]

Heh, the DS is one of the best systems of all time in terms of good high-quality games in my opinion, I really got a lot for my money so far :)

If everything goes well, I´ll get Deadly Premonition today. Now for one, I don´t know what "Premonition" even means. I´ll look it up. I also don´t know what the game is about or even which genre it is. All I know is that it´s supposed to be fucking weird. And fucking weird is just how I like my games and movies.

[Dimnos]

I hear its one of those so bad its good kind of things.

[OxBlood]

What, Deadly Premonition? Yeah I heard about the same. Cult-following and stuff like that. But, since weird shit IS indeed my specialty, I´ll have a look at it (and yes, I´m way weirder and funnier in german than in english, I kinda lack the linguistic tools to really be as entertaining in this language ;))

[Dimnos]

Yeah Deadly Premonition. Somewhere on Destructoid Jim has one of his "X is blatantly better than Y" articles comparing it to Allen Wake that is quite funny.

[Fathom Zero]

It's a wonderful game. And I didn't see that the character that was the bad guy actual was until the end. It surprised me, which is something hard for any story to do.

[darkvare]

so i went to blockbuster and found a copy of eternal darkness great game i'm up to the priest episode

[LordSappington]

I'm playing four games right now: Jet Set Radio Future, Red Alert 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Dead Space: Ignition. JSRF is great, for those of you who haven't played it. Re Alert 3 is hilarious, since they basically just decided to dump that last shred of realism, and go with war bears, giant samurai robots, and troop-launching APCs (No, seriously; it shoots them through the air, and they parachute to the ground. Fucking hilarious).
Ninja Gaiden 2 seems a little easier than I remember the first to be, but not a cakewalk, by any means.
Ignition? FUCK Ignition. The laser puzzles just have this special way of eluding me every time, and the AI is a cheating bastard in the racing game. The only reason I want to beat it is for the unlockables.

[OxBlood]

so i went to blockbuster and found a copy of eternal darkness great game i'm up to the priest episode

Ah, one of my favorite games of all time. Always good to see there´s still fans of the cosmic terror out there :)

And for some reason I have to think about Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Gamedesign right now. I so wanted to love that game but its gameplay later on was so bad...never played through it...which is kinda weak for a diehard Lovecraft fan...

[Zhukov]

I'm playing four games right now: Jet Set Radio Future, Red Alert 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Dead Space: Ignition.

I love all of those games. Well, Dead Space rather than Ignition, but still. You have good game sense.

What are you playing JSRF on?

[LordSappington]

My 360. I still have that old game-pack, with JSRF and Sega GT, I think.
I remember beating it five years ago, and trying to unlock that bonus characters. Those damn challenges were made even harder when you had to decipher goddamn Japanese symbols.

[DougClayton4231]

I still think that Call Of Cthulhu was a masterpiece. I loved it from start to finish, it was hard as fuck though.

What was everyones top ten games of this year? I don't think anymore are going to be released so it might be fun to list them. Mine were (In no particular order):
1.Mass Effect 2
2.Bioshock 2
3.Splinter Cell Conviction
4.Dead Rising 2
5.Enslaved: Odyssey To The West
6.Fallout: New Vegas
7.Donkey Kong Country Returns
8.Guilty Party
9.Sonic Colours
10.Trauma Team

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I loved Call of Cthulhu. My guy went insane after seeing the shoggoth and that statue of Cthulhu.

[Fathom Zero]

My top ten are Fallout: New Vegas and Dead Rising 2.

[DougClayton4231]

Nice top ten Fathom :P

[Fathom Zero]

And No More Heroes 2. I forgot that came out in January.

[OxBlood]

Heh. I played Deadly Premonition for about 2 or 3hrs. This is...strangely appealing somehow. It´s weird, the main character makes everyone around him totally uncomfortable, the driving sucks ass, the controls are garbage and I guess that´s part of the charm or something. Just plain weird. In a good way.

[Esuohlim]

OXBLOOD, GET A JOB

[OxBlood]

Oh I do have a job again...finally. 11 months of unemployment were more than enough, believe me.

I just play a lot of games in my free time. I never said anything about finishing them. At least not if they´re longer than 15 hours. Though I guess that will have to take a step back as more work comes my way in the next months.

[DougClayton4231]

What was so enjoyable about Deadly Premonition? I played it for about an hour and it made me want to walk into a wood chipper. It was so awful.

[OxBlood]

I don´t really know. Maybe it is one of those Plan 9 from outer space-things. So bad that it´s good? Btw I love that movie.

But the first hour is pretty crappy. It get´s better when you can roam the town freely.

[WhiteRat]

Now that finals are over i've been playing Forza Motorsport 3 non-stop. Yesterday I played for 6 straight hours.

[Fathom Zero]

neotokyo

ghostin' like purple-haired broads, smokin' bitches

[OxBlood]

Okay, this is spooky. Somewhere there´s Bizarro-Oxblood aparently. And he made a game and called it Deadly Premonition. I can´t help but feel like this is about the game I´d make if someone let me...

What I´m trying to say is: This game is fucking awesome. Then again, any game which features a fucking Kazoo in it´s main theme is awesome. I can´t get it out of my head and I don´t want to either...

[Fathom Zero]

5OUP_Z3iZPs

I liek dis so much

[OxBlood]

And guess what. I do have a Kazoo. In my car. HA! I can break out into the theme at any time if necessary .

Just went to Swery65 and played some Darts with my trusty Dart-Gun...and now: I light up a (virtual) cigarette and solve the crime!

[King Hadas]

I wish the game didn't focus so much attention on the shoot'em up segments because they're dull as piss. I heard those bits where going to be less significant originally but Swery thought they'd please the Americans so he added more, sorry about that Oxblood.

[DougClayton4231]

Mafia 2 is an absolute fucking drag. I can't wait to be done with it. I had no idea that a 7 hour game could feel like a 70 hour game if it was designed poorly :(

[LordSappington]

I stopped by Gamestop with the girlfriend before we started walking home the other night, and one of the employees we know there was going to sell his DJ Hero and two turntables, but Gamestop won't buy the table, so he said I could have them if I won a round of rock paper scissors. Thus, I got about $150 worth of stuff for free.

[OxBlood]

I wish the game didn't focus so much attention on the shoot'em up segments because they're dull as piss. I heard those bits where going to be less significant originally but Swery thought they'd please the Americans so he added more, sorry about that Oxblood.

Oh I don´t mind, don´t worry. I actually enjoy them more or less. Mostly because of the hillarious voices of the enemies. Half the time I don´t even understand what the hell they mumble but then: "LEEEET ME DIIEEEEEEEOOOUUUUIIIEEEE!" Cracks me up every time and I don´t know why. Maybe because that specific sample is so fucking loud :lol

The enemies are (up till now) so amazingly random. I mean...pale People that can sense your breath with no eyes doing a reverse and backwards limbo-dance towards you. And each and every time you land a headshot, York has something to say which gets even more funny when you use the SMG. "AmazingGreatHeadshotAmazingAmazingHeadshotGreatsho t!"

I really hope they never explain that :)

I´m happy that games like that are still being made from time to time, it´s like a breath of fresh air among an army of undead remakes and stupid or overused concepts and ideas. Fuck, Deadly Premonition even compensates me for Final Fantasy 13 and that is saying A LOT. Thanks for that, Access games :)

I'm not going to make a list, but props for showing Trauma Team some love.

My top games would prob include red dead, and then couple of the other ones on your list.

As for right now, I'm playing Goldeneye for Wii

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Deadly premonition looks and sounds horrible from the way people are reacting to it. I watched a video of the scene with the coffee and fell in love with it.

[King Hadas]

Here's a great article about Deadly Premonition.
http://www.dreamdawn.com/sh/post_view.php?index=7827

It's what made me want to play the game although I think he makes some parts sound more appealing then they actually are, like the profiling.

Edit: Here's an unbroken up version http://www.dreamdawn.com/sh/info.php?name=Deadly+Premonition%2CRed+Seeds+Profi le

[OxBlood]

The profiling is aweseome cause you first think it´s an acutal gameplay-element but it really isn´t anything at all, just a mandatory sequence you have to watch :lol
I mean it´s not like you can do anything to influence or control the profiling. There´s nothing there that could be appealing or unappealing about it :D


@10kVolt: Does my reaction to the game make you think it´s bad? It´s brilliant ;)

I showed the game to a friend yesterday and he just sat there, eyes wide open, staring at the screen while York was driving and talking to Zach...until I showed him the whistle-theme, that kinda made him happy :lol He also laughed at the fact that Mr. FBI has an Infinite SMG and the fortunetelling via coffee.

[King Hadas]

The way that article describes it, every shoot em' up segment is the personification of York's mental profiling (not just when he smokes and puts all the clues together). He also compares those parts favorably to Silent Hill's otherworld which is a bit of bullshit.

[OxBlood]

Hm, that might be, I never thought about it that way...then again, I´ll wait for the game to finish before I try to make sense of anything in it :D

I don´t know if you could compare those parts to Silent Hill but I´m really not a fan of those games cause they´re fucking horrible in terms of gameplay most of the time...and boring.

[Fathom Zero]

I love how the shooting parts are never, ever explained and the enemies you're fighting have nothing to do with the main story.

I've been trying to get all the cards. I think I have about 40 of them.

[OxBlood]

I love how the shooting parts are never, ever explained and the enemies you're fighting have nothing to do with the main story.


Oh, for real? YES! :rock I was hoping it´d turn out that way. That´s one spoiler I´m glad to read :lol

Reverse Limbo-Asshole-Zombieghoulghosts ftw.

[Fathom Zero]

When it wasn't explained for the first, probably seven hours or so, I had a feeling it would never be.

And man, it doesn't disappoint.

[King Hadas]

I'm pretty sure that the enemies in the game are

the ghosts of the people who died during the 60's raincoat killer massacre. Or they might be the visual representation of York's incredible profiling mind unconsciously feeling out the edges of Greenvale's past.

[Schimid]

I'm trying to play Metro 2033 right now but the Goddamn thing keeps overheating my video card. I put it on the lowest settings but sure enough after fifteen minutes it fries out like I lodged cheese in the fan or something. I read somewhere that the game's graphical demands are near-Crysis levels so I'm not that upset, still sucks though.

Also playing Amnesia. Scariest game I've ever played.

[OxBlood]

It´s a shame that Metro does thant since it´s really not a good game at all...I wouldn´t waste any time or effort in trying to get it to run, just skip it ;)

[DougClayton4231]

Metro 2033 has some of the most god-awful level design of this generation along with some of the least enjoyable sequences in history. Definitely avoid it if possible.

[Dimnos]

Probably the biggest let down of the year. I REALLY wanted that game to be good. :(

[darkvare]

so i got demon's souls and killed a weird black goo monster and didn't died once so i was happy about myself. i got back to nexus and pancake face tells me to talk to some child i talk try to get back down i fell and died losing all my souls and half my health :(

[Fathom Zero]

hahahahahahaha

Yeah, the kid can be hard to find. The whole Nexus is fuck hard to navigate.

[Charlie.Burp]

All I've been hearing kids talk about in my school is "Call of duty: Black Ops" I've played Call of duty before and I really wanna try Black Ops.
I'm also a huge fan of "The Sims" :love

[Esuohlim]

I AM PLAYING POKEMON RED FOR A GOOD OL' DOSE OF FAGGY NOSTALGIA

Except that it's so much easier than I remember. I'm done with finals so I've been playing it while simultaneously watching episodes of MST3K. 7.5 straight hours, man, today rocks.

[Dimnos]

Monster Rancher is were it was at.

[DougClayton4231]

I just finished Enslaved yesterday and all I can say is "Holy shit what a fantastic game." It's a shame that they decided to release it during the holiday season rather than waiting until January or February when there is less competition.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

X-Men arcade game on Xbox live.

So lucky lol.

[Fathom Zero]

I don't have X-Men, Jesus Christ. >:

[Sam]

That doesn't mean I won't invite you to play it every time I see you online.

[Charlie.Burp]

Sims 3. The one for the computer :)

[Dimnos]

10k and Sam have X-Men? Now I have to buy it. :)

[Dimnos]

Dibs on Colossus.

[Pentegarn]

I gotta grab that now, dibs on Nightcrawler

[Sam]

GET IT, YOU BITCHES.

STEAM SALE - BOUGHT SUPER MEAT BOY AND VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV FOR ABOUT $6.

[MLE]

Playing the DC Universe Online beta. It's actually fantastic. It's at least as good as City of Heroes/Villains, and much better than Champions Online.

Just preordered it too!

[LordSappington]

STEAM SALE - BOUGHT SUPER MEAT BOY AND VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV FOR ABOUT $6.
SOO-PEHR MEAT BOOYYY
Fucking love this game. It's hard as hell, though; I'm on the fourth chapter, and I think I have maybe 15 bandages.
I'm between three hard games now; Ninja Gaiden 2, Red Alert 3, and Super Meat Boy.

[Dimnos]

Got X Men arcade last night. Joined a game already at Magneto and beat the game within five min of downloading. :lol

[darkvare]

demon's souls is kicking my ass so i'm cheating by going to the shrine of the storms killing a couple of skeletons and going back to nexus to level up

[Fathom Zero]

Killing that grim reaper looking motherfucker gives you a ton of souls.

[darkvare]

the jail is pretty cool level i keep diying but i found the trick to get thosse effing octopus headed douchebags and found out the legion look alike gives a lot of souls

[Fathom Zero]

I hated the jail level. It's the only one I wouldn't replay. I kept getting lost in that fucking thing.

[LordSappington]

Unlocking The Kid from IWBTG in Super Meat Boy is exactly as difficult as you'd expect. Goddamn, I thought I was done with that stupid game for good.

Yeah, the only achievement I have left on it is beating it with all 6 chars.

Didn't quite live up to my memories but I'll play anytime. Japanese mode collossus is ridiculous.

I also have a Dazzler rap over the beat of Collossus' "Yuuurrraaaawww"

[Dimnos]

I noticed that Japanese mode. Whats the story on that?

[DougClayton4231]

NBA Jam on the Wii is by far the most entertaining game ever lol.

[Phoenix Gamma]

:lol rebooting stuff is gay.

Also I was sick the other day so I stayed home. Booted up TF2 and saw there was a new update. Fucking LOVE the Demo and Medic's new gear. Medieval mode is pretty shitty, but whatever.

[darkvare]

NBA Jam on the Wii is by far the most entertaining game ever lol.
i saw it on wal mart for xbox 360 but i had no cash lol

[DougClayton4231]

It's worth the money if you have someone to play it on the couch next to you. Playing it alone is nowhere near as fun. But the 360 version has online multiplayer.

[OxBlood]

Just finished Deadly Premonition. Just awesome. Enjoyed every minute of it.

[Fathom Zero]

I loved how they were all like IT'S THIS GUY, BUT IT ISN'T NOW, BUT IT IS AGAIN HAHA GOT YOU!

[Phoenix Gamma]

3rd Birthday. I never played thr first two Parasite Eve games so I have no idea what's going on. Plus the dialog is Japanese so I REALLY have no idea what's going on. And the levels are pretty fucking weird. I think the third mission involves going into a giant tree/hive to fight the parasite inside the void inside the tree as it eats Manhattan? The the streets start bleeding? And you can possess people?

The body swapping mechanic is actually really awesome though. And the game has no loading screens so it's a PSP game that's actually good for portable play. The TPS and RPG elements aren't terribly deep but it's a pretty fun game with some interesting mission scenarios.

Speaking of third person shooter RPGs, I'm downloading Mass Effect 1 and 2 on Steam right now as part of the sale. I hear the second game is supposed to be the second coming of Jesus Christ or something like that.

Sounds like it fits right in with Parasite Eve 1 and 2 based off that description though

[monster_movie_night]

I gonna sell all of my PS2 games just to trade it in for a Wii for 129$ I have about 52 games on my PS2 it would of been 80 if I hadn't sold them seperately.Theirs So many games I had miss out on including Punch-Out,Zelda:twilight princess' Mario Galaxy 1 and 2,Super Paper Mario,Wario Ware:Smooth move,BoombloX,Mario kart circuit and Super Smash Bros:Brawl .I already getting Super Mario Bros tomorrow. Now, all i need is to do is get my mind set on the wii Cause damnit I had miss out on so fricken much off this

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I noticed that Japanese mode. Whats the story on that?

It's way better. Instead of using your health bar when using your powers you can use them up to six times via an energy meter. Then it will start to drain your health when your. There was also power up health packs and energy packs that can restore health and energy respectively.

Sounds like it fits right in with Parasite Eve 1 and 2 based off that description though

Pretty much. They previewed it during comic con this year and it felt like squishing down a cream cheese bagel.

I finally beat Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. I accidently ruined the ending for myself before the game came out but when I finally saw it my jaw still dropped.

So you mean its possible to beat without dumping $20 of quarters hitting continue a million times? :eek

I finally beat Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. I accidently ruined the ending for myself before the game came out but when I finally saw it my jaw still dropped.

I need to get back on this. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Pretty much. Its infinite lives too as long as you remember to press A and select a char. I got close to 400 kills with collossus. Just stand in the bottom right corner of the screen exploding each time a new wave of enemies come onto the screen. Also SAM figured out you can use your power while jumping. So I would jump around with Collossus exploding.

I need to go back through LOS and do all the challenges now for the stupid points.

Also, DLC is coming out as a sequel and a prequel.

[Shadowdancer21b]

Evolution for the Dreamcast. It's a dungeon crawler. I like it okay. Might post a review later. Won't bother posting it here.

[Dimnos]

Did I read somewhere that they were releasing a bunch of dreamcast games on PSN or XBL?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I reviewed a cd when I first started posting here. No one bothered to post about it or read it or anything. I realized that no one cared though.

[Dimnos]

i think there's also a disc coming out with a bunch of games if i recall correctly

[Fathom Zero]

Had that game. It was okay.

[Shadowdancer21b]

Had that game. It was okay.

Yeah, It's pretty meh. I guess it's okay but nothing to write home about.

[Fathom Zero]

I suppose it was nice that I could see some of my character's stats on the VMU.

[Zomboid]

Splatterhouse, Raging Blast 2, and RDR Undead Nightmare.

All three are pretty fun so far. I really like playing RDR again.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Working on Mass Effect. Ashley's a fucking cunt and I wish I killed her but I left her in charge of the fucking nuke and didn't want her to fuck up the whole mission >: First she kills my bro Wrex and I have to reload my save and start the mission over, then she's all pissy because I'd rather fuck a blue slut than an obnoxious cunt.

[executioneer]

yeah shes totally a space racist too, fuck that

[Dimnos]

Not to mention she looks like her dad smashed her face in with a 2x4 when she was a kid. :\

[Phoenix Gamma]

Pretty much all of the humans in ME1 are ugly as sin :lol

yeah shes totally a space racist too, fuck that
That didn't really bother me as much until someone pointed it out to me. She's all "SHOULD WE REALLY LET THESE ALIENS ON THE SHIP? LISTEN TO ME I HAVE DADDY ISSUES" and I'm all "LOOK AT THEM. THEY'RE ALIENS! THAT'S SO AWESOME. Also 'aliens' outnumber humans so that's really a retarded term, dear. Might as well call them 'minorities'. Anyways I'm gonna go talk to Garrus now cause he's fucking awesome. We're gonna hunt a fucked up organ doctor guy."

This game doesn't let me rip on Ashley or high five the others as much as I want >:

EDIT: I just fucked Liara. "That was amazing!" "HURR NO YOU WERE AMAZING. BTW I'M SUDDENLY FULLY CLOTHED NOW." That was more awkward than my first time. I never want to fuck in a video game ever again :(

EDIT: Aaaand I just beat it. Most annoying final boss I've fought in awhile. Curious as to why it didn't ask me to save at the end, though I skipped the credits so maybe that's why...hopefully this won't fuck up my ME2 game.

[darkvare]

i managed to beat a huge tongued demon a weird worm demon and the fools idol i love this game i keep getting killed and raped by dumb little monsters and once an effing rat but i can't stop playing

[Phoenix Gamma]

20 hours into Mass Effect 2. Holy shit, I'm hooked. Just played through the Shadow Broker DLC. What a fantastic side story. I'm kinda bummed Liara's pretty much not coming back in ME3 because she was really entertaining in this story. I pretty much love every character who isn't Jack, so I love the loyalty missions. I still haven't even finished the main story yet because I actually give a fuck about doing all the missions this time.

Best Star Trek game ever.

[Fathom Zero]

Miranda's a cunt, too. I dun get it.

[Fathom Zero]

Found my copy of Shadow Hearts! Imma do sum footwerk

8QslQ-pVm6A

[Phoenix Gamma]

Miranda's a cunt, too. I dun get it.
I don't get the hate for Miranda. She's certainly not the most likable, but she doesn't trigger my latent misogyny the way Ashley does. Hearing her bitch at me in ME2 made me really wish that I had abandoned the nuke and left her to die. At least Tali is way more awesome now with her new powers so I can actually bring her into battle, and she didn't go psycho like Liara, so bonus points for her.

Pretty much all the guys barring Grunt are awesome, though. Also, Mordin singing Modern Major General; didn't see that coming. Or that mean right hook.

[Dimnos]

Mordin was probably my fav character in 2.

[Fathom Zero]

I like Mordin, Garrus became a billion times more interesting, and the Justicar chick was pretty cool.

Jack was mildly interesting and Tali was the one I totally had crazy spacesex with.

[Dimnos]

I wanted sex Tali up in the first one. Because she wouldnt I felt "That ship has sailed bitch" in the 2nd. :\

[Phoenix Gamma]

Just beat it. Jack and all the NPCs died because Illusive Man told me to make sure I'm prepared and I did three too many missions. Goddammit >: I don't miss Jack though. Told her to eat carpet during the Miranda fight. Fucking laughed when I read her poetry in the Shadow Broker's lair. I thought bringing her to the final battle would protect her from dieing on the defending team but Bioware was a step ahead of me. Ah well.

Mordin's definitely a favorite. I thought Garrus was already really likable in ME1 so seeing him toughen up in ME2 was pretty awesome. Tali was just adorable and only really creeped me out once she became perpetually horney (she sounds like an erotic novel character once you decide you're gonna fuck, and she googles "Human Mating Rituals" regardless.) The Shadow Broker DLC blew my mind and made Liara actually likable, and I dunno what'll go down in ME3 since I told her we're gonna have blue children then proceeded to unmask Tali.

Legion is really interesting, I thought. Mostly because his very existence is so weird and hard to understand. I really don't fully grasp him. I was pretty torn on what to do in his loyalty mission. That and the decision on whether to keep the Collector base actually had me alt tab out of the game and think about it for awhile.

[Dimnos]

How the fuck do you lose people in the end? I just played through it and no one died. Just upgrade your ship god damn it and dont make retarded decisions when assigning people jobs for the final mission.

[Fathom Zero]

AWWWW I just remembered Legion. He's (they're) my favorite.

[Phoenix Gamma]

How the fuck do you lose people in the end? I just played through it and no one died. Just upgrade your ship god damn it and dont make retarded decisions when assigning people jobs for the final mission.
Slow down hombre. Like I said:
Told her to eat carpet during the Miranda fight.
I thought bringing her to the final battle would protect her from dieing on the defending team but Bioware was a step ahead of me.

[Dimnos]

So she died because you told her to eat carpet? Or because you brought her with you?

I told Miranda to fuck off during their fight and took Jack with with me in the final fight because I felt she could kick more ass. She did kick more ass and lived to tell about it. Miranda, who I told to fuck off during the fight and later to defend that doorway or whatever it was where everyone else stayed while you do the final part of the final mission, also lived.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Both. If someone's not loyal when they're in your party during the final fight, they die. I thought keeping her in my group would keep her alive because I figured Bioware wouldn't think to program someone dieing while they're in your party.

Someone told me leaving her with the defending party would have kept her alive so long as Grunt and Zaeed were there, but I don't miss Jack enough to replay the mission. She pisses me off just as much as Ashley.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, everyone survived in my games. I wouldn't miss Jack either, though. Garrus and Legion were probably my favorites.

Just beat Splatterhouse. I've been playing Raging Blast 2 off and on, so I'll probably keep doing that and put more time into Undead Nightmare.

[Chojin]

i played through ME1 in a few days, then moved on to ME2 and have been really disappointed so far. You can't walk around citadel much, the 'stores' might as well be dialog options, and I feel like a tremendous amount of control over my loadout has been taken away. There's no sense of economy, no sense of immersion since you just load everywhere instead of walking/elevatoring, reloading is stupid, and I miss being able to use my sniper rifle most of the time. I hate that they moved the freeze off of space so I switched it back, only now I have to push a different button to 'use' stuff since they insist on loading like 90 functions on the same buttons, but DIFFERENT functions than in ME1. FFFFFFUUUUUU

Combat does feel better and I like the addition of headshots.

I really wish I had done more of the side quests in ME1 :< I miss it terribly already. I'll still play through ME2 because I'm kinda attached to my character.

btw garrus is my homie too for reals

[Phoenix Gamma]

I don't mind that you can't walk around the citadel much. The citadel in the first game was FUCK ELEVATORS JESUS FUCK WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME I'VE BEEN SO GOOD TO YOU VIDEO GAME. And I hated shopping in the first game because that involved using the second most miserable inventory system I've ever had to put up with in a video game (Final Fantasy XIV wins that award.)

Reloading bothered me for a few hours, but then I realized that it makes you aim your shots better and manage your weapons. Yea, you can spam the assault rifle at the Krogun, but you can save time and ammo if you switch to the hand canon. I love that alternate ammo is now a power instead of an upgrade, and the controls make more sense to me in ME2 than ME1 (kept hitting R expecting to reload. SILLY PG THERE IS NO RELOAD YOU JUST THREW A GRENADE).

Oh, and being a Vangaurd without being penalized for using something other than a pistol/shotgun is fantastic. I hated having only two weapons to use in the first game and two weapons I was shitty at. And I feel MORE immersed in ME2 since there's just so much more stuff crammed into it on top of the preestablished lore. There's more flesh this time around and they really put more thought into some of the locals.

Also, fuck the Mako. That shit was annoying and tedious.

I'm glad we all love Garrus though <3

[LordSappington]

Downloaded the Scott Pilgrim game. It's a lot of fun, but it's really hard to play by yourself, unless you do what I did and fag it up using upgrades.

[darkvare]

finished lords of shadow it was ok, one thing i really really hated was the platforming everything else is kinda meh but entertaining i liked the ending a lot though

withou upgrades the last levels are impossible alone specially when some enemies take 90% of your health with 1 hit

[LordSappington]

Yeah, Gideon is living up to his role as the final boss.
But there are some items, like the bionic arm or whatever, that raise stats by 50! It's too easy after that; all my stats are max 100, and I haven't even beaten the game.

[Fathom Zero]

Hey Sam, my K/D ratio is better than yours in AssCreed.

http://www.geekologie.com/2010/12/27/minecraft-zelda.jpg

Damn Ox... I think its about time you stepped away from minecraft dude.


Huh? I stepped away from Minecraft in November already ;) But that´s a nice base there, whoever built it. But I´ll give it another look in the coming months since it´s in Beta now and that means: more content.

I rewarded myself for getting a new job by finally buying a Wii and that´s about all I´m playing right now. Monster Hunter, Rune Factory and No more heroes 1. Though 8 other games already wait to be played later. Yes, I know but those things don´t cost as much so there´s more games for my monthly gaming-budget :)

[Dimnos]

Thats the entire world map from Link to the Past that some a-hole build in minecraft.

[OxBlood]

...you´re right...I´m impressed :)

[stevetothepast]

ya that's cool. shoulda made the dark world though.

it's actually more cost-effective to raise your DEF and WP stats at the store inside Leo's Place (hipster cap) and your STR and SPD at the record store(smashing turnips, crash and the boys) than buying stuff at the secret store. it's even more cost effective to use one character to pay off scott's late fees, then all four characters can use the video store and that's retardedly cheap (+10 to all 4 stats and +100xp for $4.95)

I read that somewhere, but I had already maxed out most stats by then.
Also thinking about getting the new New Vegas DLC. Definitely going to Gamestop the 9th so I can snag the poster they have for it. :rock

[Zhukov]

The new Donkey Kong is pretty good. Easier than I thought though.

[Dimnos]

Finally got around to playing Ultimate Alliance 2. Gambit will fucking own your ass. That is all.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I ended up playing as Juggernaut and Deadpool pretty much the entire game for UA2. Deadpool because he's the closest to Nightcrawler from the x-men legends games.

Dead Rising 2: Case West.

[darkvare]

i wanted to play as juggernaut but when i rented the game they already took him down for download

[Dimnos]

Gambit + Deadpool + Storm + The Thing = No chance for the enemy :lol

[Fathom Zero]

Playing Darksiders. A few times, I had to look up a guide to figure out how to do things. And a lot of the enemies are pretty cheap. Not that having it on the Apocalyptic difficulty helps anything.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Gambit + Deadpool + Storm + The Thing = No chance for the enemy :lol

Storm is fucking disgusting too. I use her with Thor.

Thor's ground special launches everyone into the air and then Storms wind blows everyone on the stage.

I loooove Darksiders. Great game. Almost definitely gonna be a sequel, too.

[LordSappington]

Does anyone have an idea of how good the New Vegas DLC is? I'm thinking of getting it Sunday.

[Fathom Zero]

From the look of it, it's pretty intense. High on ammo conservation, a lot of stealth-oriented stuff. There are tons of ghosts and scary shit. It's been compared to survival-horror type stuff.
I loooove Darksiders. Great game. Almost definitely gonna be a sequel, too.
It's a beautiful game, I thought. I haven't beaten it yet, but the story is decent. I'd be excited for a sequel, so long as it runs smoother. The framerate seems kinda choppy sometimes.

[OxBlood]

Finally got around to playing Ultimate Alliance 2. Gambit will fucking own your ass. That is all.

I liked it but compared to the first one I thought it was a pretty big letdown. Everything was toned down, less powers, less customization, useless costumes...

I still got one of those Xmen games on PS2 lying around here somewhere, never played it, but as far as I remember, there´s a lot more going on there in terms of customization...


I finished No more heroes. It was...okay I´d say. Nothing too impressive. I expected it to be weirder somehow. That and the whole earning money just to get on with the story was fucking stupid. Glad they got rid of that in the sequel.

[MarioRPG]

The new Donkey Kong is pretty good. Easier than I thought though.
True, but still fun for nostalgia purposes.

Anyway, I've been playing DKCR, and The Orange Box. I'll be playing super meat boy more once I buy a controller for my laptop.

[Zhukov]

Playing DK with my girlfriend makes it a whole lot harder.

"Just get on my back! GET ON MY FUCKING BACK! STAY THERE."

"Why are you using two thumbs to press button 1 and 2? USE ONE THUMB TO PRESS BOTH! YOU CAN DO IT I AM DOING IT, LOOK!"

"I'LL JUMP THE MINECART. DON'T PRESS ANYTHING I'LL JUMP THE MINECART! GOD DAMN IT I SAID I WOULD JUMP IT."




This game needs reviewing by Erik and Emily.

[Zomboid]

I agree about Ultimate Alliance 2 being a bit of a let-down compared to the first. It just wasn't as good.

[Dimnos]

Yeah. I was expecting a lot more characters to choose from. I was also expecting there to be more of a difference between sides. Most of the characters just go with whoever you choose. Each side only has 3 exclusive characters and the missions are practically the same. :\ They should have just made another X-Men Legends game. Fuck all these non-mutant fucks.

[darkvare]

they should have gone with galactus invading earth like the ending of the first suggested

[Phoenix Gamma]

"Why are you using two thumbs to press button 1 and 2? USE ONE THUMB TO PRESS BOTH! YOU CAN DO IT I AM DOING IT, LOOK!"

I got angry just reading that. We as a species conquered the art of two buttons decades ago, but somehow there are people who can't grasp that.

I met a girl my freshman year of college. Really cute. Self-proclaimed gamer. She tells me she's been playing the original Mario lately.

I watched that bitch get outrun by a fucking Goomba. :goth

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I know UA2 was madedevelopedworsened by another company than the previous 3 but it enraged me how they coded it so people who can fly can only fly over walking areas. Also the costumes were limited to 2 each. The majority of the 2nd costumes were dumb as well.

In her defense she hasn't played a lot of games, and she didn't even get a TV for the first twelve years of her life. She's learning. Just really slowly.

Infinity Blade. Just got it about 6 hours ago. I'm on the twelfth bloodline. It's mad addictive and I just want more now.

Sam trying being father of the year for Katey and ended up killing Ray Ramano in the process.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Jumped back into Persona 3 Portable to finish it up. After spending 40+ hours playing American girlfriend simulators with Mass Effect I decided to wrap up my Japanese girlfriend simulators. Actually Persona and Mass Effect are really alike. The only difference is where you point your gun. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.

Also waiting for Ghost Trick. That game looks fucking sweet and I heard good things from Joystiq. Might pick up Pacman CE Deluxe on PSN tonight if I feel like it. I keep hearing magical things about that game and I'm in the mood for some twitch gaming.

What´s your impression so far? I´ve been thinking about buying it for PS3 later...


Been playing Spelunky all afternoon yesterday, trying out Stone Soup Dungeon Crawl and Desktop Dungeons later today (work is kinda slow right now with lots of waiting)...

[Samfucius]

Infinity Blade. Just got it about 6 hours ago. I'm on the twelfth bloodline. It's mad addictive and I just want more now.

Infinity Blade is the coolest thing ever, and the fact that it does sword fighting better than the Wii, with better graphics and on the iPhone, makes me mad at Nintendo. Seriously, you just got your ass handed to you by a smartphone.

I have an iPad, so I'm using that and everything looks great. I was playing it last night, got to the 23rd or so bloodline and it hit me that I was playing something beautiful that exceeds anything on the Wii. Blew my mind, it did. Now I'm trying to hit #1 on the leaderboards for gold. I'm something like 6700 or so. Hah.

Why is it too fast? I mean everyone has to use the same controls anyway so it should be pretty balanced, right? I´m not that interested in PVP anyway, I´m too old for that crap and the only thing it does is make me fucking furious.

But I would like a console MMO...preferably one that´s at least semi-decent. I already know that DCUO won´t sell many copies here since germans are not know for their love of the american comic-culture but...I for one love the theme...which reminds me that Champions is supposed to go F2P later this year...

Champions sucks, easily more than CoH/V did, and I'd probably still be playing CoH/V if I was in a large guild.

DCUO is better than both combined. It's a very very fast gameplay, and I don't know if consoles could keep up with it even with the more difficult bosses that you get when you're closer to level 16/17 out of 30.

[Dimnos]

Did they ever change CoH to where you could pick up new people in your group when others dropped out when you were doing what the hell ever they called a raid? That shit sucked. Is it free to play yet?

[MLE]

Neither of the old superhero games are free to play, I don't think.

[executioneer]

isn't there a third version, going rogue or something out now

[OxBlood]

I just picked it up in town (DCUO that is)...guess I´ll see how the whole thing is later tonight or tomorrow...on the PS3, since I don´t have any kind of gaming PC...hell, my fucking Netbook can´t even play Spelunky or Minecraft...

[Fathom Zero]

Shove more RAM in it. Minecraft was made to thrive on RAM, not needing a graphics card to look good.

[OxBlood]

Wouldn´t help, the Netbook simply can´t use anything with 3d-graphics, the onboard-card can´t do that.

[Fathom Zero]

Your netbook must really be shite, then. Though, to be honest, I think everybody's computer screws up at least some of the time with Java.

[MarioRPG]

Buying The Orange Box at the start of a new sememster was not a very wise move.
Aside from that I've started up another Earthbound file. :D

Well, it´s a Netbook, it´s not supposed to handle anything more than Word and the "normal" Internet and that it can handle quite well...just nothing that has 3d in it ;)


I dunno, if this whole work-gig keeps on going well, I´ll just buy a normal Desktop-PC later this year, I don´t need a Laptop or anything...

[Dr. Boogie]

Bought Killing Floor during the big Steam sale, and I can't seem to stop playing it. Something about teaming up with people to plug English zombies in the head is just so strangely compelling.

[dextire]

I found my old box of PC games from the mid-90s. Through the magic of DOSBox I'm now playing Epic Pinball: Enigma. :rock
Now I just have to get Warcraft 1 and Dungeon Keeper going and I'll be set. :)

[OverdosedPuppet]

Been playing Kenka Bancho badass Rumble. Something very addicting about running a gang and beating the crap outta other class mates lol

[Phoenix Gamma]

Ghost Trick.

If you have a DS and don't play it, you're dead to me.

Left 4 Dead 2

It was like 10 bucks on Steam so I decided to give it a whirl. Very fun.


Fallout New Vegas

Started a new game with a character whose sole purpose in life is to decapitate people with a fire-axe.


Mafia II

Original game + two DLC:s were about 20 bucks on Steam. The original game is pretty awesome but the DLC:s are just mind-boggling. How could they fuck them up like that? All I wanted was a few cool missions that don't necessarily have to have anything to do with the original story, but instead I got some boring errandboy missions with a strict timelimit.

[OxBlood]

I tried out DCUO yesterday...after 3 hours of patching mind you, and so far, it seems to be pretty solid. It controls well, its gameplay is rather simple but fun, the powers seem to be useful and diverse and even the small selection of travel powers doesn´t piss me off as much as I thought it would...I´m pleased to see that the weapon you choose isn´t just cosmetic but each has its own skill-tree with different attacks, block-beakers, interupts and stuff like that.

The quests are...meh so far, standart stuff but that was to be expected. It´s unusually quiet in the chat which is of course a detail of the PS3-Version...which reminds me, I gotta plug my Keyboard in and start getting on everybodies nerves (it´s what I do in MMO´s, I make sure people talk to each other and have some fun doing that).

I haven´t advanced very far, just got level 7 with my ragged, burned gadget-wielding handblaster hero but so far, I like it.
