[Human Snorenado]

RE5 Mercenaries and doing a New Game+ to max out mah weapons and find those f'n emblems.
Banjo Nuts n' Bolts- gonna install this to the hd in a bit and see how it plays.  I want to build some ridonkulous looking vehicles- hopefully I can make each one of them look like a cock.

I made a (close approximation,really) reaver jetbike in Nuts and Bolts before shelving it. Damnable to control, but awesome, if only I could have used it to facerape some of Banjo's enormously shitty friends.

RE5
The White Chamber (anime-art is fugly, but otherwise it's actually pretty solid so far)
Inazuma 11

I tried playing Resistance PSP but it feels like the game is playing itself and is kind of boring because of it.  Might play it for the story, dunno.

[Enl]

The White Chamber (anime-art is fugly, but otherwise it's actually pretty solid so far)

White Chamber is a pretty fun little adventure game. Very trippy and mind bending. I do agree with you about the anime-ish art. Didn't fit the game at all. Still, it's free and quite fun.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Oregon Trail on the iPhone.  Meh.

[Trent Dole]

I was always partial to Baseball Simulator 1.000

is that the game where you can throw bombs and balls that cause earthquakes?  because that truly is the greatest baseball game ever

That'd be the one!

I thought it was fairly impressive for a free game.

Yeah, I just finished it.  Was alright and good enough for the time required to play it.  I thought the voice acting was quite good for freeware and the puzzles were enjoyable.

Because there were only a few screens, it relied a little too heavily on "ok, you've done 1 trigger...so go back to every screen in the game and see if anything has changed", which I hate in games (same with the "you've done 1 trigger, go back and talk to every character again").  Also the story, while functional could've been a little more expanded (background of the artefact and stuff).

But for a free game it's good.

[Trent Dole]

Got defeated by Belius again despite knowing what to do and leveling up a tad before going to fight her again, so now I'm doing some more grinding via auto-battle.

[bork]

Today was PS3 day for me. I didn't boot up my 360, but I might in a minute just to see if the HD Remix patch is up.

Today was also PATCH DAY-- I downloaded patches for HD Remix, MGO, and Killzone 2, and it took longer than it should have for all of them. -_- PSN just sucks compared to 360, I'm sorry...it does.  The wait for MGO in particular was ridiculously, ridiculously, ludicrously long.  When I got the three-expansion pack download deal last week, it took half a day to download the previous patch, since I went the torrent route.  This time I did it from the server, and it still took hours.  Fucking insane.

But back to more positive things, I played MGO, HD Remix, Killzone 2 (multiplayer), Musou Orochi Z, and then some Soul Calibur IV. It's been months since I played the latter, and while I didn't beat any high-level players, I got really close...played one guy with level 88 and he barely beat me each time, and some 100 and 200+ guys that sadly (for them) also went to round three for both of us. I LOL'd. The game obviously takes skill to be at the top, but at the same time, it's just so "broken" in terms of how easy it is for a beginner or just generally clueless player to do well in comparison to a 2D fighter. Despite my whuppings I still managed to gain a rank in the end.

I went back to SF4 after this and whupped some ass of my own with Miss Li. One match I forgot who I was and picked Abel...the other guy picked Chun and I thought it was me! Same color and everything, LOL! I still got him though.

[NME]

I'm playing Beyond Good & Evil, which is good so far. I'm only just heading to the factory, but the presentation is swell (dated, sure, but my fault for waiting so long to play it) and it's fun enough.

I'm also playing Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting. The one that came out for XBLA, like, three years ago. What can I say, Gamefly has yet to send me SFIV (although I did rent that last weekend. Hot.)

[muckhole]

Going to use some of my sick isolation time to see if I can finish off Afro Samurai. Then maybe I'll go back and play a bit of Fable 2, which I've been putting off.

[duckman2000]

Dawn of War II

[The Sceneman]

big game day here

gonna be geting into some more RE5

plugging away at Skate 2, the Drydek pack is faggy as, I'll get the classic pack today

and OMG Peggle, really fun game, achievements are assy though, too hardcore even for me

[duckman2000]

Star Wars TFU

[duckman2000]

Hey, it's a hell of a lot of fun for at least an hour. That's more than $10 or so typically gets you.

[archie4208]

DLing the Gaytar Hero Metallica demo.  Otherwise it'll be Street Fighter 4 and HDR this weekend and TEN on Tuesday

[Jansen]

RE5 and star ocean tlh with some sfiv on the side

.

[Fragamemnon]

this week/weekend:

[Grecco]

Peggle. Chrono Trigger DS, 50 Cent BOTS and prolly some Dead Space later.

[ToxicAdam]

New free Beta of MLB Dugout Heroes MMO

[youtube=560,345]HriRRRtBZpk[/youtube]

Plays like Power Pros on your PC. Controls are pretty good.

[Enl]

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup- Rogue-like gaming crack.

Dragon Quest (SNES)- The original is my most replayed RPG ever, but I've never played through the SNES remake. Now I am. I'm not quite digging the easier difficulty in this one though.

Fallout 3- Finally started playing this. The game has the most stunning use of the color brown I have seen so far in a game. At the moment I disarmed Megaton's bomb and am working on sidequests for the Wasteland Guide. While I can see myself sinking a lot of time into this, I am not a huge fan of how they handled the AP system. I kinda wish that they allowed a turnbase option similar to the older games rather than keeping it all in real time.

Street Fighter 4- Still playing this on the side.

[Bebpo]

Inazuma Eleven - getting closer to finishing this.  It's L5s best game.
Madworld - It's going pretty well
Kororinpa 2 - Dunno
Resistance PSP - Dunno

Going to play some Unreal Tourney 3 again tonight with the new Titan Pack update to check it out.

Will probably start 50 Cent, or get back to Star Ocean 4 this weekend after Madworld.  Probably play some Adventure games this weekend as well like The Path, Strongbad ep2 or Overclocked.  I started playing What Linus Bruckman Sees When his Eyes are Closed the other night and it's a genius concept but it seemed a bit boring to actually play so no idea if I'll actually play through it.

[Eric P]

i was playing The Witcher until it crashed.

[demi]

Just 3D Picross. I am at about 220 puzzles done.

[cool breeze]

finished Resistance PSP, which I thought was great.

I don't know if I want to go straight into another portable game, but I have GTA DS and Henry Hatsworth.

[Rman]

Still having fun with Resident Evil 5, mostly focusing on Mercs mode.

[Akala]

I bought RE5 last week, but for some reason I can't keep myslf away from SF4. I keep madly fluctuating in BP. I'm good enough for RAGEQUITs though. :yeah!

[Bocsius]

Still Amped 2

[archie4208]

I stayed up until 5 last night playing 3D Picross.  OMG such a good game.

[Eel O'Brian]

i've been playing ebay

so far i've been winning, but the enemy has not launched their final value fee counterattack yet

[bork]

-SF4: Got knocked out of the 360 tournament last night by a great Chun-Li player; there was lag that factored in (he's in Australia), but only bitches whine.  I adjusted!  It was a close battle and he got my Chun, but I came back with Cammy to win the second match.  He got me again in the third and final match; it was really fucking fun!  Got further in the tourney than I would ever have expected to.  Still in the PS3 tournament too!

-RE5: A bit of mercenaries here and there.  Played split screen for the first time yesterday with a friend and got a few more achievements.  I doubt I'll go for 1000/1000, but I am looking to get all the weapons maxxed-out and still need to clear it on Professional.

-Unreal Tournament III: Like MGO last week, this wasn't so much playing as it was WAITING.  I decided to pick the game up again ($20 new) and try the new (free!) DLC pack that adds a bunch of stuff into the PS3 version.  It also adds in split screen play, which unfortunately is restricted to offline play, so after a few minutes, my friend and I went back to Halo 3.

huh?  I downloaded the Titan Pack expansion and played and it was fast as hell.  There's like one 30 second patch to 2.0 which adds trophies/split-screen/new GUI, but then the game has the fastest menus and is the quickest console FPS to jump right into a game out of any out there. 

The main problem is that no one is playing the game.  You can get in games that have like 10 people, or coop campaign maps with 3 others, but huge 20+ person games are almost impossible to find.  Still the game is awesome when you're actually playing.  Best controlling FPS out there IMO.  Feels so good with a controller.

Yeah.  He beat me 8-7 in our match.  I would have got a chip win in the last round if I didn't fuck up Blanka's ultra input.

[bork]

Could have been lag that fucked you up.  He seemed to know about and basically warned me about some problems before we started playing!

Wasn't so fast for me!  I also had to download an additional patch to get the game to the current version...the titan pack is 500mb and the patch is 93mb.  Wasn't lighting quick.

Nobody was ever playing this game, haha.     On top of that, if you want to play with the various mods, others need to have the same ones to play in your games.  The old UT2K4 would let you download the mods right away; this doesn't offer it.

What are the best UT3 mods, anyway?  I know I'd like to get the 3rd person view mod...

[cool breeze]

GTA Chinatown Wars

Enjoyable game so far, but the DS Lite is so damn uncomfortable.  I played Resistance PSP just before this and never had any problems because it was designed well; actually, I've never found a handheld system uncomfortable until the DS Lite.

[duckman2000]

New Super Mario Bros.

Chipping away at The Force Unleashed. Damned fun, for 5 minutes at a time. It annoys me that I can't do sidesteps or basic backflips. Also trying to beat this annoying pizza delivery challenge in Banjo N&B. 

[Van Cruncheon]

rost odyssey

[captainbiotch]

civ 4 and turtles in time with the gf

[pilonv1]

CRAWL

Also some Peggle and Football Manager 09

[Bebpo]

Finished Inazuma Eleven.  It's great and totally worth playing if/when it comes to the US if you like soccer at all (even if you suck at soccer games, it's ok.  I can't win in WE but I was fine here).  The only thing is the game is like I AM AN RPG throughout the whole thing with 20 hour+ story and stuff, but then the ending is literally like 15 seconds and totally unsatisfying for an rpg ending >_<

[Mrbob]

GTA Chinatown Wars.

Shames GTA4.

Also finished Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword this past weekend.  Great game as well.  Still the best use of the touch screen so far on DS.

I can't believe what a piece of shit the Wii is compared to how awesome the DS is (best portable ever?  Seems so).

[Bebpo]

I can't believe what a piece of shit the Wii is compared to how awesome the DS is (best portable ever?  Seems so).

Probably.  I mean it doesn't have that much competition.  GBA was cool but it didn't really have many classic 3rd party games as most devs were focused on console games.  Same with GB.  I wouldn't be surprised if the DS has a bigger library of titles released than GB+GBA already.

[Mrbob]

Can only speak from personal experience.  I only owned 5 games on Game Boy and GBC...neither portable did anything for me.  PSP is ok, but nothing I really want.

I don't buy many DS games as I don't play many portable games (3 to 4 a year maybe), but I've racked up 11 DS games over the years now with GTA being the latest purchase. 

[EmCeeGrammar]

PES 09 for Wii.  Probably the steepest learning curve of any game ever.

[Eric P]

i played quite a bit of The Witcher last night.  I didn't get much into it when it first came our or later on when the expanded edition came out because i was doing a lot of MMO stuff.  Last night i realized that I think i'm done with the MMO model because I don't really have the time to devote to it.

[NME]

Beat Beyond Good & Evil last night. Fine game, better than I expected considering I imagined the hype for it was way over the top.

Likes:
-Presentation
-Score
-Sound effects
-Collecting stuff didn't feel like a chore
-No bullshit where the game is hard for the sake of making it a challenge. The game's fun. Fancy that!
-Brevity. 12 hours is about perfect for me.

Dislikes:
-That shitty mechanic where you use one control scheme for an entire game (and really, for every game you've ever played), and then WHOOPS WE FLIP DA SCRIPT DAT SHIT IS BACKWARDZ NOW, YO! Look, if you can't come up with innovative ways to make your main boss fight more difficult, don't do some stupid control scheme manipulation bullshit to make it seem more difficult, especially when the game's combat is based upon being incredibly simple.
-Story wasn't particularly fleshed out. Not a big deal for me, because the brevity is far more important to me, but it's not like I really understood why Jade ran an oprhanage, or what the hell Carlson and Peters was (until I looked at Double H's inventory).
-The hovercraft handled kind of poorly, particularly during some of the racing sequences.

[demi]

BG&E2 will be the best game ever

that's what is making me hesitant about dc universe

i want to play, but i don't want to keep paying $15 a month when i don't have the time and forget to cancel my subscription

i keep saying they need to rate these things - $5 for 10 hrs or less a month, $10 for 20 hrs, $15 for unlimited play, and sell blocks of playtime by the hour

[cool breeze]

is DC Universe going to be pay-to-play? I thought for both that and The Agency they were thinking about a different way of dealing with it.

I've never been into an MMO game and the last ones that interested me were Neocron (which I played the beta of, which sucked) Planetside (ditto, but better) and WW2 online (dabbled with after big into BF1942, quickly dropoped).  DC Universe looks like MMO Crackdown with more action based combat while The Agency looks like a spy themed shooter online.  If they aren't pay to play, I can see myself getting into those two and playing every once in a while; I just can't see myself playing a game as regularly that most MMO require.

[duckman2000]

Wow, New Super Mario Bros is like the best game ever.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Wow, New Super Mario Bros is like the best game ever. 

The virgin run is great.  I never felt like replaying it because the lives accumulated to the point where I could ignore coins and thusly most platforming.

[Bocsius]

I have two days left of XBL, I guess I should get in some QT with Halo 3.

[The Sceneman]

Wow, New Super Mario Bros is like the best game ever. 

its one of the worst platformers ever made
