MLB The Show 09
Starting season mode with the Yanquis.

OutRun XBLA
Great surprise. Waiting on PS3 version, though, but good fun.

Street Fighter 4
Trying to finish the hard trials and playing ranked exclusively for the most part.

RE5. Fun action game, but there are way too many cut-scenes.

I'm running around in circles in the last dungeon of World Destruction hoping for drops of items that let me reset my character growth for my main three because I get to the 2nd form of the final boss and it KOs my entire party in ONE SPELL. The game is soooo broken, but I want to see the ending so I guess I will keep circling for another hour or two so I can beat this stupid final boss.

Playing alot lately. Mostly it's a bunch of indie games.

Yesterday

Questionaut- Short, but visually pleasing adventure/quiz game. I kinda wished that they had ditched the quiz elements to make way for more interactivity with the planetoids.

Samorost- From the team that did Questionaut, this one ditches the quiz aspect in favor of more exploration. Well worth 20 minutes of your time if you're into a more laid back style adventure game. This and Questionaut can be found here: http://www.amanitadesign.com/

Don't Look Back- Finally finished this game yesterday and it's kinda cool in a Knytt sort of way. The whole game itself could take about 30 min. to beat and there's a nifty gimmick halfway through that gives its title its meaning.

Work this weekend

Samorost 2- After fully enjoying the first game I actually forked over the $5 last night to play its sequel. So far it's every bit as good as the orignal and the art and atmosphere is scrumptious. If you're into this sort of thing it's worth your time.

Motherload- This is temporarily taking the place of Dungeon Crawl. So far I can make 2000 ft before I do something stupid.

Etrian Odyssey II- Made it to the 2nd Stratum. Not a fan of how they took away EXP points from the FOES. There's a lot of risk fighting those enemies and there's a probability that you'll get nothing from the battle.

Orcs and Elves- Talking about this in the other thread is making me want to to pop this in again this weekend. Fun little game.

At home

Fallout 3- Saved Vault 101 from tearing itself apart and am now headed to Vault 87.

Street Fighter IV- Still playing this...

Outrun- It's been a while since I've been addicted to a racing game. Modern ones are either to realistic or openworlded for my tastes. This one is just simple and arcadey enough to keep me entertained.

Have you played MGS4? RE5 is nothing compared MGS4.

Bebpo · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:07:46 PM »

Ok, beat WD. Japanese version is a 6/10. The visuals are great, story is passable, but the gameplay is TOTALLY NOT THERE. Image Epoch are terrible gameplay designers (not much hope for Arc Rise Fantasia).

But if the US version is "fixed" like they are saying, it could be bumped to an 8/10 rpg.

Outrun Online - I've been playing this nonstop since Wednesday morning. There's only 3 achievements left for me to get and then I'll really start trying to climb the leaderboards in the outrun and time attack modes.

Mirror's Edge - Beating it for the 2nd time on hard. I found all the bags, now I just have to finish up chapter 9 without shooting anyone for the Test of Faith achievement. I'm not gonna stress myself out on the speedruns and time trials until I'm done with finals this semester.

Blue Dragon - I haven't touched this since Monday. I'll be going back to it once I'm done with Mirror's Edge. I'm at the beginning of disc 2.

Street Fighter IV - I play this every once in a while.

I've played MGS2 and 3, and they felt disjointed as hell due to long cut-scenes around every bend. At this point (Marshlands), RE5 feels like that.

Ive been pretty busy so havent even really touched Outrun yet, gonna get into it hard today.

I'll probably want to boost the online achievements at some point....

Finally started playing some Deus Ex: Invisible War; it's been sitting on my shelf for a month or two after I picked it up for $2. Despite what "The Internet" led me to believe, it's actually a pretty awesome game. Yeah, it tones down some of the RPG elements present in the first game, but I like how the world is more open and it's not just about jumping from one mission to the next. The combat is meh, but sneaking into people's houses and jacking them up is fun stuff.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #25 on:** April 18, 2009, 01:19:54 AM »

Ya it's a solid game, just a big step down from the first.

I'm playing Legend of Zork because I suck.

Just host a ranked match and have your friend join. I got every achievement except

* Elite (Reach Elite)
* Host 16 player game
* Play every map on every mode (requires at least 2 hours -with a friend-)

Nice, would like to hear what you think of it. I need to get into Yakuza 1 and 2. The trailer for 3 impressed me enough that I went and finally got them. Need to play through Oboro Muramasa first though.

13 hours into Fallout 3 and I barely scratched the main quest. I really wish that it had no level cap since I'm already at level 8.

tiesto · « **Reply #37 on:** April 18, 2009, 12:25:26 PM »

Star Ocean 4 - up to the final planet, but I'm grinding for drops to get some more of the delivery subquests done. Hopefully will beat the main game either this weekend or next.
Outrun XBLA - bought a prepaid card, but haven't keyed it in and bought this yet.. but I will.
Marble Saga Kororinpa - entered the code that allows me to customize my marble, and the game is far more playable (though not as good as the first one, still).
Dragon Quest 5 - just got married. I picked Nera/Flora this time...
LittleBigPlanet - playing a bit of the single player here and there.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #38 on:** April 18, 2009, 02:12:18 PM »

PGR4 - Played a few hours and got bored of it. The game seems quite a bit different than PGR 1 and 2. Everything about it is very slick and I got it for cheap so I'll keep playing it.

Outrun - Currently downloading it. The upside is that it is 800 points. 1200 pts for a lot of games on XBLA these days is fucking ridiculous.

Beezy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2009, 02:15:30 PM »

COD: WAW - The new Nazi Zombies map is a lot of fun, and I played a little co-op story last night

I might finally get around to installing The Witcher and the enhanced patch today.

SF4- Played an amazing Seth player (GT is "FuduVudu" iirc) who had some insane air juggle stuff going. He whupped my ass good, but I enjoyed it!

I was pretty much just

the entire time. I also played (again) this Akuma player that does amazingly well with his hit-and-run/fireball spam tactics. I have beat him every time he's appeared in ranked, but I started turning his matches down, because this kind of match is so damn boring.

RE5- Versus mode rocks so much fuckin' much. Played a bunch of Slayer and Team Slayer games mostly; Team Slayer was me and a buddy against the same two guys over and over. They'd start out getting a massive score advantage, but we came back and won every. single. time. It was hilarious; there was even a close match where they were going to win with just a few seconds on the clock, but my buddy and I both killed a few Majini right at the very end and it sent us over the top. Awesome.

Don't even bother with the crashed probes or minerals, there's no achievements or worthy loot from them. It was also annoying to me how of the four weapons classes from a dozen manufacturers, the specter assault rifle was the best one in every situation. Makes the soldier class really worthless.

Game is pretty good, but the controls feel a little floaty. Not sure if that's just the psp version or how the original controls.

I am playing Braid. I hadn't touched it since it first came out and I went back, beat the game, and started a new game. There are some really clever puzzles and it all seems fresh after 8 months. I could see myself playing this once a year or so. Jonathan Blow is still a douchebag, though.
