night 1: onimusha 1, fun little game that's basically a beat-'em-up take on the resident evil template. nothing to write home about. night 2: onimusha 2, adds enough depth to the combat that you really feel like you're a badass samurai. really, really strange and cheesy visual style. no longer comes across as a resident evil clone. night 3: onimusha 3, the greatest game in the series (although that's not saying much) and one of my most favourite games of all time (which is saying a lot). absolutely everything comes together -- gameplay, graphics, cheesy as all heck story -- to create the only truly memorable experience in the series. combat is fast and addicting. 10/10. so i opened up the new onimusha and was massively disappointed to find that it's basically just an action game based on the onimusha franchise, which would be why the number 4 is nowhere to be seen in reference to it. at its most basic core it reminds me of devil may cry 3 sans jumping. i'm about five hours into it already so obviously i'm gradually warming up to it. the graphics are a step down from onimusha 3. it's painful to watch these really awesome scenes supposedly using the 'in-game graphics ending' and then go to the shimmery real-time action. outside of combat the game feels clunky. it's two discs long so we'll see if it grows on me more. |

Oni 3 was rad. lol @ you thinking you were getting a legit Oni 4. The only thing I didn't like about Oni 3 was Jean Reno sort of wasted... I mean the game was cheesy but I wish they'd taken it further, sort of a Lethal Weapon/crazy buddy-tandem kind of thing. But the characters were kind of dry and boring. It would have been pretty far-out for a mainstream action video game. The gameplay is impeccable though, I loved it. I haven't really been playing anything lately... I replayed RE4 a couple of weeks ago and it reaffirmed my opinion that it must be like the best game ever and I think I'm going to rent Dead Rising for 360, I've got a jonesin' for zombie killing. |

Dead rising looks fun - but honestly it looks like it may have an issue with getting old rather quickly. Just an observation, I havent played it yet. Although Ive seen quite a bit of in game footage. |

Lately I've been playing a bit of: Wario Ware Inc. on GC, Liberty City Stories on PSP, Tourist Trophy on PS2, Smuggler's Run on GC, Replaying Resident Evil 4 (still haven't got the damned hand cannon) on the GC. Mostly though, God of War on PS2. Bloody hell this is a good game. Really, really enjoying it. Like Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, it's one of the few games that manages to really make a properly controllable 3d version of the old "loads of bad guys" fighting games. Usually they end up with poor/clunky lock on systems and you can't really choose exactly which direction to attack in, etc. but they've nailed it perfectly here. The ancient Greek mythology setting is pretty original and very well executed too. |
||||||||

I liked the sex mini-game and the copious boobage. But yeah God of War is awesome. Nothing original, just balls-to-the-wall action polished to a mirror sheen. Can't wait for the sequel. I downloaded the Dead Rising demo, seems like the definition of fun rental/good posterity purchase once it hits the bargain bins. Very fun and clever. I rented Prey for 360 and it's pretty cool... it has that sort of indistinguishable-from-every-other-PC-FPS style but it's enjoyable and slimy. |

Traded in my gamecube and most of my games (keeping ikaruga, beach spikers, monkey ball, metroid prime and mario sunshine for wii if i get it) and got a ds lite. i've only played a DS a few times but i think the buttons and pad on the ds lite are much smaller, which is kinda beat because i have big hands but i'll get used to it hopefully. got new super mario bros which is fun. the only thing i was waiting for on gamecube is super monkey ball adventure and the next mario game. from what i've read about monkey ball is it stinks and if i get wii i'll be able to play mario on it. gamecube is a bit of a weak system imo |

I played Dead Rising, it was fun. I plan on buying it when the price drops... it's not long enough to justify buying it new. Damn fun and campy, reminded me of Zombies Ate My Neighbours for SNES. Curbcreeper- have you played/do you own/did you own Resident Evil 4? |

Brain Training (DS) - It's fun! The New Super Mario Bros (DS) - Awesome game. Finishing Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. I love my Nintendo DS. Insted my GameCube is totally off. Sometimes I still play with Resident Evil 4 to get that damned Hand Cannon but yet, nothing to do. Waiting the mighty Wii! |

Tridenti; I'm still waiting for the hand cannon too. I've Been playing a lot of Buzz: The Big Quizz with family/friends who don't normally play video games. Good multiplayer game and good fun in teams. I've just picked up SC3. Pretty good; not the big improvement on 2 that I was hoping for, but still a worthy addition to the series. |

Heheh it's really hard to get. We need some sort of codes or something, I believe. My friends like to play with Tekken 5 / Soul Calibur II or Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Good multiplayer with them as well. |

DS: 09/12 Mega Man ZX (a new mega man series that looks to further redeem the franchise? well i didn't get a new ds lite for nothing!) 09/19 Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (all right, this one i'm just getting because it looks cute.) |

This August I've played a few games through, all of which are in the 9/10 class of PS2 elite: 1) God Of War - even if overhyped, its still a ridiculously entertaining and even quite lengthy a game. Can't see myself playing through this another time, but that's just because of my short attention span. The sequel ought to be pretty good! 2) Tomb Raider: Legend - the best Tomb Raider since the first two. I still think the "improvements" of gameplay mechanics included throwing a few babies out with the bath water, since the (however CLUMSY) precision of the previous games has been replaced by a more automated and more approximate prince of persia type gameplay. Still, glad to see the franchise in shape. Extra points for varied level design and environments. 3) Silent Hill 3 - finally beat this! Took me two years, honestly. Some of the puzzles on hard level were too much for me (O FAQ, where art thou??), but overall on par with the previous installements. Compared with RE4, it just felt so short, you know? Oh well, Silent Hill is still way scarier than Resident Evil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Silent Hill 3 is awesome. But I dunno, Silent Hill is creepier and more affecting, but I think RE4 is the scariest game ever. It just feels so daunting. There's no game I'm looking forward to more than Silent Hill 5, just because I'm so interested in how they're going to get this series back on track after SH4. I don't want them to reinvent the series like Capcom did with RE... I just want them to tell a good story in a creepy setting again, like the first 2. |

Dirge of Cerberus. It's not bad. Could've been longer. |

Yea I'd agree RE4 is one of the greatest games of all time, better than SH3 in many ways, but there are factors in RE4 that counteract some of its creepy bits. Stuff like campy baddies, weapons of mass mayhem and "humorous" dialogue make RE4 in my mind more of an action/adventure game than a horror game. Kinda like RE3, or Dino Crisis 1-2. Much better than these, mind you. For me RE4 really grew as an experience... It started sort of meandering, but by third chapter and all the way to the end, it certainly got more and more epic. Perhaps the greatest PS2 game since... gee, I don't even know... FF X? Katamari Damacy? The best of its kind for sure. Also playing: We Love Katamari. More rolling, more fun. They better stop making more and more cash-in sequels, though. Can't beat the original. That's a given. One could call it the "tetris law of puzzle sequels": no sequel for an excellent puzzle game improves on the original. Did I just call Katamari Damacy a puzzle game? Huh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Totally agree, the cutscenes and story and characterizations and script and acting and everything like that are HORRIBLE in RE4, laughably so. I skip every cutscene because crap like Salazar and Hannigan really takes me out of the game. In-game is such an intense experience though, I can't walk into a room without fearing death. I used to enjoy the B-movie presentation of the RE games, but now it just contrasts too sharply with how genuinely scary the actual gameplay is. Anyway I just dove back into Oblivion for some reason. I'd gotten bored of it but now I enjoy it again. For some reason. Still a lot of stuff I wanted to do in that game. |

i just completed half life 2. well, the ending was a let down. and the last bit of the game was easy but you had to know what you were doing. once you figured it out, not much skill involved. things that pissed me off were; getting stuck on bits of the environment; characters getting in your way, the look analogue stick having the zoom on click (xbox), generally fiddly controls, stupid storyline. things that i loved were; awesome battle sequences, strong atmosphere, not many aliens, varied gameplay. i give this game 68% |

"I think RE4 is the scariest game ever. It just feels so daunting." > creepiness is really subjective then : ) i loved resident evil 4 but i didn't find it scary at all. the scariest game series for me might be fatal frame. |

well, i've finally got rid of my playstation 2 - i sold all my games and gave it to my dad with some golf game that uses a half-golf club. Im sure he'll enjoy it. In the meantime, i have bought doom 3 which is now ancient, but ive never played it before. First impressions are that the graphics are not as good as they were hyped up to be - and yes im playing on best spec. And it's scary as hell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it's scary in the sense that, loik, Silent Hill or Fatal Frame are scary, and capable of creeping me out. RE4 scares me because I always feel like I'm going to die, whereas I know the things in the other games are all bark and no bite, they're just playing headgames with me. I hate to die in videogames, and I must have died 100 times over the course of my first RE4 save. I was scared of the enemies. (and I was scared of the absolutely horrible cut-scenes and script) On topic I'm not really playing anything right now, but I've been following the Tokyo Games Show and waiting with a stiffy for the new Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer. |

Yeah word to that! Resident Evil Rebirth was pretty scary though. Perhaps the scariest game ever made on GC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The RE remake for GC is definitely the ''creepiest'' RE... the environments are so masterful. The new RE- Umbrella Chronicles on Wii looks cool, it'll play like RE4. It's not RE5, but it still sounds fun. But weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Can't wait for that one, we surely need to know more details about it though, they said that Jill Valentine will probably be the main charachter of the new RE. Wii will be available 19 november in US anyway - and 9th for Europe. |

Not exactly sure how it's going to play out, all I know is the controls are like RE4 and there's 4 ''parts''... the mansion from RE1, the Police Station from RE2, the city from RE3, and the village from RE4. So it's more like a sort of overview that you play, not a sequel. Still cool though. I'd do anything to see an RE5 trailer in the next few days. |
