Overlord (pretty fun so far)
The Darkness (shut up, demi, it was the free one)
-
The Vision of Escaflowne LE (JP PS1)
GTA IV (PS3)
Dual Shock 3

Overlord is one of the most agonizing gameplay experiences of my life. It's pretty fun, but there are sections that seem set up exclusively to embarass the player. Also, do yourself a favor and read a FAQ- There are a handful of gamebreaking bugs in it.

Persona 3: FES (no, NOT the copy Himuro supposedly pre-ordered and pre-paid for me ::) ).

Gunpey DS (Never played a Gunpey game and Messe Sanoh had the US version on sale for 980 yen).

I know the thread seems redundant, but I don't think we get enough BUY love in the gaming section
Thanks, GilloD. When I popped it in the 360, I had to do an auto-update, so maybe that helped with some of the bugs.

Hahaha, I didn't mean to imply the thread was redundant, it just seemed an easy opportunity to gloat about the kewl shit I bought. :rock

Oh, I didn't take it that way, I just felt like that when I posted it

a wii with a second wagglestick and a classic controller
super mario galaxy
geometry wars galaxies
endless ocean
and a bunch of overpriced roms: super star soldier, gate of thunder, lords of thunder, r-type iii, dragon's curse, and super metroid

Will I have to turn in my balls if I admit I sort of want to "play" Endless Ocean?
-
Mario Kart Wii
GTA4
Hulk: UD

Mario Kart Wii
GTA4
I'll probably use my 800 MS points on Rez HD.
-
Endless ocean is good stuff, dont be ashamed if you think it will float your boat. Many :o moments to be had.
-
Lost Odyssey this week (awesome thus far, I'm 18 hrs in)
Dreamfall a couple of weeks back (slow as fuck at the start (even for me) but I'm sure it gets better).
Eel, Endless Ocean is pretty kick ass. Just be prepared for what you're getting into (slow swimming around). There's a constant stream of objectives to complete though which surprised me - it took me around 10 hours to get through them and you're never left twiddling your thumbs. I've only uncovered perhaps about 1/3 of the map and have mountains of species yet to discover.
-
it's actually pretty neat -- very chill, and the animation on the sea critters is omg.
-
that's like four wii games i want to play
i can't bring myself to pay another $250 for a rewii, though :(
-
GTA4
Company of Heroes: Gold Edition
-
Mario Kart Wii and GTAIV.

bookwork adventures delux.

Grand Theft Auto IV. Got it friday, but didn't start playing until yesterday. I am really enjoying it so far, and have no complaints about the driving controls, although the camera can be a little annoying. It plays better than the previous GTA games, but I am not far enough into GTAIV to see if it still has the same bullshit glitches or overly-frustrating missions. I didn't take to Saint's Row and think GTA is a WAAAAAAY better game, but I still think Crackdown is the king of this genre, and it has the best game play of any of these titles by far.

Shut the fuck up Mondain.

nfags get so sensitive when you don't slavishly love their overclocked GameCube and turds like Excite Truck ::)
anyhow I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics PSP, GTA IV (360), The Orange Box (360), Hot Shots Golf OOB PS3 (as always), and Shadowrun (Genesis)
the new Persona 3 FES content is so shit and repetitive that I simply gave that game up

GTA IV SE X360
Metal Slug Anthology PS2
Ghost Squad

Didn't purchase anything new gamewise this week, but since this thread seems to doubling as a "What have you been playing" here's my current entertainment:
Ys: Oath in Felghana- Quite possibly the most badass game I've played all year. Amazing music, difficult bosses, and a kickass combat system. It's a crying shame that this will probably never get released overseas. Here's some gameplay footage:
[youtube=425,350]_4YlFiR61RM&hl=en[/youtube] [youtube=425,350]1CJh-RFq4gQ&hl=en[/youtube]
Gargoyle's Quest series- Been wanting to play through these again since it's been ages. I finished the original Gameboy version the other day and it still plays pretty well and for a GB game. The visuals hold up better than most from the system and the music is still weirdly great to listen to. I found the game far easier and shorter than what I remembered.
Shining Soul- I don't know why I keep playing this as it's basically a shitty, Japanese version of Diablo that unfortunately carries the "Shining" logo. It's slow, shallow, and has an annoyingly repetitive soundtrack, yet I find myself wanting to go back and strengthen my character. I must hate myself.

Bought:
--GTAIV PS3
Ordered:
--Persona 3 original (for the box, artbook, and OST...to "complete" my copy of FES.)
--Digital Devil Saga 1 with the deluxe box + OST
--Digital Devil Saga 2 - new and sealed
That completes my collection of Atlus RPGs that I like (also have Nocturne LE.)

I'm far from an Nfag, but you don't need to spam image gifs every time someone plays a Wii game. Given your taste in games, you should probably shut the fuck about other peoples'.

It's like Phoenix Wright except (a) it doesn't have 100 hours of people talking at you and (b) it's funnier. It's pretty short though, I beat it in about 3 hours, but basically it's like 5 interactive episodes of the show and it's only $16 at Amazon. It plays really good with the Wiimote since it's basically point-and-click. It's worth a rental if you're a fan.

decided to take adantage of the last day of the B2G1 gamestop sale and bought
Folklore PS3
Okami PS2
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic 360 (it was between this and Conan, may take advantage of gamestop's 7 day return if DMoMaM sucks - and from what i've heard, it probably will)
-
you are gonna take folklore back within a day
-
i dunno, i sort of liked the demo, and i usually don't like this type of game
is conan a decent god of war ripoff?
all i know is i now have a stack of unfinished games that is shameful
i'm not buying another game until Brothers in Arms comes out in August
-
There's a demo for Conan... I thought it was awful
-
Conan is shit.
-
I traded in a spare 360 controller, my old Advance SP that I found under some stuff in a drawer, and my vanilla copy of Persona 3 (sans artbook and box) today at Gamestop to renew my Edge card and get:
- Dragon Quest Swords
- Geometry Wars Galaxies (2nd good Wii game :bow2)
- Cooking Mama: Cook-Off
My Wiikend is now complete.
-
geometry wars galaxies :bow2 :bow2 :bow2
-
Mario Kart Wii
2nd Wii Controller
I probably won't make another gaming purchase for months.
