I'm looking forward to Metroid Prime Hunters and Resident Evil Deadly Silenece, they'll be my next DS purchases for sure. My GameCube is dows atm, because there are no new games to play.
horsefactory: You da man, I actually didn't know you had so many Nintendo Games.

The third disc, Existence, supposedly sucks. It's just a ''movie'', which is really just a compilation of the cut-scenes, with a bit of gameplay footage to fill in some gaps. Nothing I'd need to watch, and it's a really erratic and nonsensical viewing anyway, nobody with the LE seems to have been too enthused about it. Also the LE packaging isn't anything special. I would say don't waste your money. You can watch any cut-scene you want in the demo theater anyway.
I played many hours of Metal Gear Online today, very fun stuff. Although it's a bit on the runny gunny side. You can be stealthy but not nearly to the degree that you can be in the normal game, it's a bit too manic and busy for that. But it's a riot anyway, Snake vs Everyone mode is great, it's fun to hunt him down with a group and it's fun when you get to be Snake and slaughter said group (the guy who kills him gets to be him in the next round).

Another touch I appreciated was being able to choose some music after every death/respawn. There's arranged versions of the MGS1 soundtrack, the original MGS soundtrack, the 8-bit music, MGS2 and MGS3 sets, some new music, etc.

And another thing, since I keep noticing that the first post in this topic is about Hitman... is anybody getting Hitman- Blood Money? That'll probably be one of the last Xbox 180 games I get, I love that series.

Carmageddon Splat Pack
downloaded this classic piece of data to check it out. it sucks because: timer is ticking two times faster on my comp which makes it impossible sometimes even on the easiest level. pedestrians somehow were replaced with smth i can't describe other than stupid and irritating and i don't know how to change them back. Plus, the game crashes when it wants to.

it would also be worthwhile to note that act1-wild from the diablo 2 soundtrack is one of my favourite songs of the month, diablo 2 is really great!

mario sunshine. i dont really care for the controls, mario 64 had a much better control responce. gameplay is alright, rather than a learning curve im facing an interest curve. wasn't until i got about 8 shines that i started to enjoy the game.

so i just rented timesplitters 2 on ps2 and it doesn't seem like anything special to me or anything i'd really enjoy playing....
i think i've come to the conclusion that i've been spoiled by great games...
the gran turismo's, metal gear solid's, tekken's, mario's, virtual tennis', katamari damacy's, shenmue's, ico's (well shadow took place in the same "universe"), metroid's and others all seem to have set a bar in videogames for me.
is my overbearing critical eye permeating into videogames? or have videogames just not been as good lately? OR do they not match up the above mentioned games?
i need a game that immerses me with it's distinct qualities. visuals (not necessarily "good", but unique. katamari damacy for example), audio, and overall experience seem to have to be groundbreaking for me to enjoy a game lately...
any recommendations....

I think Transformers for PS2 is underrated. The levels are nice and sprawling, there's cool abilities, a few really bodacious ideas and moments sprinkled throughout the game (an aircraft carrier that transforms into a massive fucking boss), etc... I really dug that game. Psychonauts and Riddick are very cool and stylish too.
Of course there's the Xbox Sega games, since you're a Shenmue fan you might be familiar with them already... Jet Set Radio Future, Otogi, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Gunvalkyrie... they're all dirt cheap (I bought all of them used from Blockbuster for peanuts) and they all stick out like endearingly sore thumbs.
I've been playing soooo much Metal Gear Online. I love this game so much. Hiding in the boxes is just the best. I set myself up near stacks of crates, wait for some suckers to run by me, then shoot them in the ass.

No, whilst most mortal kombat games since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3/MK Trilogy have been gash, MK: Shaolin Monks is completely different. If you've ever played the "Powerstone" games on the Dreamcast, the VS. mode is very similar to that, rather than the half-hearted Virtua Fighter style 3d fighters of late.
Incidentally I'm not playing bike/car racing games for a bit. I've potentially lost my licence for doing over a ton on an A road. Ho hum. I'll have to go to court in a month or two to sort it out.

Actually I'm really into the game now :) The reason I didn't like the controls is because there were some bits in the game that drove me crazy, like the sand bird level, and the surfing for red coins in ricco harbour.

Perfect Dark Zero for the 360. Alright whats the deal. Golden eye and Perfect Dark for the 64 had that awesome aiming capability where the trigger would go back to the center. Now nearly 10 years later, that effect is removed.
WHY DO GAMES DOWNGRADE?! When something new and awesome is introduced to a game engine, it should be applied to all games made after.
I enjoyed the game itself, and I'm not trying to sound like a psychotic killer or anything but when I shoot a dead body, I expect to see blood stains and bullet holes. Not because I like that sort of thing, but because thats realistic, and if they're going to put so much effort into moving objects like punching a box around, the realism of all they worked hard for is gone, when I can't put some bullet holes in a fucking dead person.
Also, there were parts in the game where if you panned slowly, it looked REAL. The bump mapping is getting alot better.

Ophecks: Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox (well, actually I'm a xbox hater) but there are a fews games on it I'd like to play, such as Outrun 2.
I just read that the makers of Gran Turismo have made a motorcyle racing game called "Tourist Trophy" and it's coming out real soon, so I'll probably entertain myself with that. Also, I really should trade in MGS3 and grab the new edition, but I'd probably get screwed on the trade in-price. I'll have to check out stores near me. I've heard a lot of good things about Psychonauts as well, I'll have to rent that if I see it.
optimus: You are definitely essential to this thread. Whether it's your love of Sega or Ico recommendations, it's awesome. I'd download that rom, but my computer is god awful, even to handle a gameboy game. Gameboy has been looking might fine lately with all the great games that have been coming out for it. Have you sold your gamecube? I know you looked for it before, but grab Beach Spikers if you find it, seriously.
Since gamecube appears to be dithering away into nothingness and games are getting cheaper by the day, I'm going to try and concentrate in that area.
Of course I'll be getting MLB2k6 on ps2 though as long as it doesn't suck. God damn EA stealing ESPN.

i haven't really touched a 2d fighting game since exactly a year ago but i think this saturn pad is enough to get me back into it, albeit from a casual, nostalgic perspective.

the godfather. tough nut, solid game physics, and a well done 1940s setting. though it seems about 80% of the game will be racket takeovers.
