I just realized today why Dracula X's Symphony of the night PSP >>>>>>>>>>>>> every other domestic release...

Japanese voice track....yes its 100 X better. PSN download SOTN doesnt even have it.

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** January 02, 2008, 01:08:41 AM »

360 version doesn't either.

I prefer the old English track. It was so bad it was hilarious. Now, it's just plain bad. No more,"WHAT IS A MAN?!!!?" gaaayyyyyyyyyy

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #6 on:** January 02, 2008, 01:19:07 AM »

Now that I kicked Eternal Sonata to the curb....yeeach......I picked up (of all things) Oblivion for the PS3. I've always been kind of curious how improved it was over the 360 one so I decided to finally give it a go. Sure it's still the same broken ass game but at least now the textures in the distance don't look like they've been ported over from the N64. It actually does make a difference for me because anymore I don't play Oblivion for the game, I play it to walk around and look at the scenery. Man....I wish this game had a photo mode....

I've been playing assassin's creed. just finished the fifth target. I've been spending a lot of time to do the side missions (every viewpoint, citizen, informer, pickpocket, interrogation, etc). looks like one of the best games of the year.

I finished Phoenix Wright 3 last night. I guess I still have Kirby's Adventure to finish up on Virtual Console too. Other than that I don't know what I'll play next.

Metal Slug Anthology - I beat MS6 on Easy and Hard. Starting on MS5 shortly. I'm starting at the end and going back to the beginning in the series.

Super Mario Galaxy - 110 Stars, motherfuckers! I'll beat this game before I go back to class.

you can get it in box form, i'm sure, since i saw a Peggle box at WalMart

also while i wait for Lair from hyp, i'm dicking around with my DS since i figured out how to backup retail cart saves and put them on my flash. i'm finishing Kirby Canvas Curse right now (screw trying to get all the medals)

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** January 02, 2008, 03:29:27 AM »

I saw peggle too, no puzzle quest so far

demi · « **Reply #24 on:** January 02, 2008, 03:31:03 AM »

well, you could just buy it online (e.g. bigfishgames.com) and they give you the option to send you a CD

-or-

buy it online from (e.g. bigfishgames.com) and then just burn the install executable to CD yourself

you can apparently buy a boxed version directly from THQ Valusoft

Call Of Duty
Hopefully Oblivion
Possibly Trusty Bell
Crackdown

Plus I'll probably play Marvel:UA for real this time. I also need to learn how to play Forza 2(it has free mode right?).

The Arcade mode is a good place to start for the impatient.

I got an offer I couldn't resist. However, as it turns out, the noise it makes totally freaks out one of my cats to the point where it cannot be in the adjancent room as the cat is.

The machine is pretty fun (though it feels like a walking advertisement machine when I do anything online with it), Mass Effect is very cool but I can't help but feel that a redo of the interface for the PC would elevate the game a notch.

and congrats btw.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #34 on:** January 02, 2008, 05:04:47 AM »

I got an old-school used one from a kind person. If it breaks I'll just send it in, no big deal since it's not my primary gaming platform anyway.

I bought crackdown, kameo, and pgr3 used in a buy 2 get one free thing at the local ebpawnstop. Haven't played them yet tho-been playing company of heroes and puzzle quest when not playing mass effect, for the most part.

MCD · « **Reply #35 on:** January 02, 2008, 05:12:34 AM »

I see

well, old models are indeed very noisy, not saying new ones ain't but they are much, much better IMO, Benq drives at least since that is what i have.

Crackdown should be a blast in coop from what i have heard, PGR3 is fun but it's outdated graphically (launch title, odd res like Halo 3) if i were you, I'd get PGR4, not a big difference in gameplay, but it look cleaner and better visually at least.

as for Kameo, i have that sitting on my desktop, i need to move my lazy ass and play it.

oh and check out 360 games/live arcade demos, don't forget about turning on background downloading!

I'm blazing through it as fast as I can because I have to give it to my friend who's borrowing it from another friend (lol) but it gets a lot better after that. just take your time. the story also gets much better. doing every side-mission could get a little repetitive but the assassinations get a lot better.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #37 on:** January 02, 2008, 06:18:48 AM »

I just got 1000/1000 points in Scene it!

some of the achievements were pretty tough

playing a bit of CoD4 online, doing the achivement whoring run on veteran (got an intel faq so Im picking those things up along the way), so should hopefullt have the full 1000 on this bad boy too

playing Eternal Sonata and fucking loving it, soooo cool

The Sceneman · « **Reply #44 on:** January 02, 2008, 11:24:30 PM »

yeah the first 700 points or so are really easy, some of the others are fucking tough

i.e. Producer - Answer 60 questions correct in one game without answering incorrectly, seeing as there is only 70 or so questions in one game that shit was hard

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #45 on:** January 02, 2008, 11:26:44 PM »

Damn son. I'm not gonna play too much by myself from now on, seeing as I don't want to see all the questions and then play with friends and either have to play dumb or just own everyone.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #46 on:** January 02, 2008, 11:51:11 PM »

yeah thats the mistake I made, basically if you know heaps about films then youre going to own anyway. Theres not enough questions and content, I need some more versions with more achievement points, stat

abrader · « **Reply #53 on:** January 03, 2008, 09:49:45 AM »

im still working thru CastleVania Curse of Darkness....

I likely could finish it now, but I feel compelled to let Dracula stew in his juices while I take out the two challenge towers and kill legion (the extra boss under the mountain temple)

To complete the towers I need a bird devil with lv 3 glide...takes time to evolve that baby up.

Rman · « **Reply #54 on:** January 03, 2008, 09:57:37 AM »

Finally finished Oblivion Vanilla. 1000 gamerscore. I will finish the SI expansion at later date. Great game, but I'm a little burned out by it. I saved the Dark Brotherhood questline until the end. I'm glad I did as it was the best questline. The final Thieves' guild quest was totally awesome, though.

Right now I'm playing Uncharted.

Is it a shit movie, though? Just from what I've gathered from Scene It! questions, it sounds pretty stupid. Plus it's directed by Ron Howard.

Got sidetracked on finishing Curse of Darkness by a few things...

- my desire to get this one optional item that requires me to lvl up evolve a totally new ID before i finish the game

- Silent hill PSP

and

- my new Wii on which I have been playing Metroid Prime 3, Wii zapper games and VC games.

Earlier I played some mario party 8 with my girlfriend - WTF is with the 480I non widescreen PSOne look of that game? The game is fun really - the waggle bits dont feel as well produced as say wario ware but its good olde standard mario party. The game host is a bit of a spookie in this one.
