Dragon Warrior (NES) Found the old system when I was moving into my new place last week. Played it a bit and realized the hours it takes to lvl up. So now I'm playing the rom with frame sync off so I can lvl in minutes. |

Today I 'ave been mostly playing The Bouncer for PS2. In fact, I played it through, from beginning to end, in about 2 hours. That's real time... The internal clock on clear data says 1:23, which is ridiculously short for a game. This was my first time (and probably the last!) playing Bouncer, and two things are obvious. Firstly, the graphics are still, 5 years after the fact, top notch. Another thing is that gameplay is still crap. In fact, aside from the video and sound engineering put into the game, I'd say this is one of the worst playing games ever. Even stuff like Rise of the Robots plays smooth compared to this! Then there's stuff like moronic camera mechanics, some of the worst A.I. in the history of video games, no "continue" button (which means pressing "SKIP" a lot), a storyline I don't give a damn about - oh, and did I mention the game takes about 2 hours to beat? Maybe there's some replay value, MAYBE... but that's like saying you get two cancers for the price of one! |

btw, that's a good tactic indeed, especially wonderful in rpgs (I used it in Golden Sun for GBA). |

Mother/Earthbound Zero for NES is one of my favorite games but it's so ridiculously slow. You walk slow, the text scrolls slowly, the battles are slow, even buying multiple items requires lots of effort going through too many menus... definitely gotta speed it up to tolerate it nowadays. I beat Shinobi 3- Return of the Ninja Master this morning. God Sega was a powerhouse back then. I'm probably going to get more Genesis games on the Virtual Console than SNES. (I don't even know why I'm going to bother buying any, since I have all the roms anyway and the prices are outrageous, but... I dunno) |

Yeah I'm thinking about Red Steel or Rayman Raving Rabbids. oh and Monkey Ball, seems like a good launch line up. But all I really need is Zelda. I can't wait to fish. |

playing tales of the abyss right now, which rocks. it'll probably be the first rpg i beat since tales of symphonia, which was the first rpg i beat since final fantasy x. abyss is probably the first tales game with characters i actually like. |

okami almost 20 hours into it i like it. it's not just the graphics. the gameplay is fun and the celestial brush is an interesting new way to interact with things. optimus i'm suprised you disliked it so much, but i don't play adventure games often or have i ever played a zelda game so what do i know (but i did consider getting wind waker after watching my friend play it quite a bit) also, what is your avatar? alllllllso (not particularly relating to opt prime), i'm considering getting bully eventually. i liked what i read of the review over at IGN. i've played the first GTA a handful of times and i liked the aspect of roaming around and doing what you please but i greatly loathe the excessive cursing, violence and stupid greasy italian mobsters in games to follow (not to mention the b to f-rate illegitimate children the game spawned for almost every other game company in existance) |
||||||||

I've only played one hour into Okami, but it's fairly impressive for sure. It shouldn't matter one way or another if you've played Zelda before, this game rocks. (By the way, I've played almost every conceivable Zelda through...) Also, I agree about Bully, it looks really enticing. And also I think that DNA and Rockstar are too self-conscious about their "bad boy" image. To call a game Bully and raise hell with controversy is just a clever marketing trick, and a way to get sympathy points from fake rebellious youth... |

i gave my ps2 to my dad for his birthday with a golf game that uses sensors (a bit like the wii). He likes it. I think a wife and a new mac begging me to make tunes on it are a good enough replacement. |

i'm surprised i disliked it too. it *is* a solid game, it just didn't click with me. and the camera made it impossible for me to play without getting a headache (literally). i can easily understand all the love it gets from everyone else. my avatar is actually a photo of this disappointed someone else who thought it was an 'abstract landscape'. can't win 'em all. i'll be getting phantasy star universe for ps2 sometime after it comes out if anyone is up for online play. |

haha i thought it was a cat but i still can't really figure out where the cat is or what angle to look at it still playing okami and i bought bully which i started today and mgs3: substinence (10 bucks yeah) so i've got a lot of gaming to do i like bully so far. i'm digging the class minigames |

Now playing Bully and Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Bully is excellent, as you'd expect from Rockstar. MK Armageddon is a bit disappointing after Deception, but still pretty good. |

Splinter Cell Double Agent for Xbox 360. Worst Splinter Cell yet, but still great. Though for a series maligned for having too many sequels, at least the sequels shake things up, although this time it was for the worse with way too many daylight missions, and the levels where you infiltrate the enemy organization are so annoying. Can't wait for Final Fantasy XII tomorrow, it sounds epic. |

these ps3 commercials are sweet i won't be buying one for a while (price and launch lineup :( ) probably won't get a wii either for a while (launch lineup as well) |

given the amount of quality games coming out for ps2 and ds, there's no real reason to get a ps3 or wii for a while anyway. |

Salamander 2 and Pacland on Mame. Quake 4 on PC, just realised it's got fucking some kind of virtual drive circumvention software built in and has messed up my Nero. Grr. Getting bored with it a bit too. |

Caught up on a bunch of big recent releases this weekend. Bought Final Fantasy 12 for PS2... seems brilliant. I actually really like the art style and beautiful color palette, and the world seems really vivid and alive. Not sold on the gameplay (the battle system) but I don't play FF games for that. I just want beautiful sights and sounds and events, and it will deliver. My first quest was to hunt an evil Rogue Tomato with huge fangs, which I thought was hilarious. I think I'm going to love this game a lot more than IX or X. Seems to push the PS2 hardware to the limit. Call of Duty 3 for Xbox 360. More of the same, but much prettier than COD3. Nothing innovative, but extremely fun and intense. Just fun. F.E.A.R for Xbox 360, solid but pretty disappointing. Alarmingly unscary, generic and devoid of any real sense of dread, but killing people and messing around with the physics is fun, especially pinning them the walls with gigantic metal spike bullets. Sort of paled in comparison to COD3, which we played right before. Still waiting on Gears of War, which I hear is incredible. Would have bought it if I could have found it. |

Yeah Gears of War is too hot. I was wary of it because of the shitty bald space marine ''art'' but the gameplay and environments are crazy good. I want to puke anytime there's cutscene because the presentation is so stupid, but the game itself is intense. |

metal gear: wasn't very good but i still have to respect it since it's the original. i had to use a guide because the game didn't give much sense of where to go. also the multiple cards for unmarked doors made no sense. metal gear 2: solid snake WOW THIS IS AMAZING arguably an altered early version of metal gear solid for psx. so many elements from it and great gameplay to boot. still gotta finish bully and okami. |

Le bumpe Yeah Metal Gear 2 was visionary. You ever play MGS- Ghost Babel for Gameboy Color? I really wish Metal Gear hadn't skipped over the 16-bit generation. That always seemed inexplicable to me. You'd think they'd have looked games like Super Metroid and Link to the Past, see how atmospheric you could make a 16-bit game, and try it with Metal Gear. Anyway I am now playing Rallisport Challenge 2 for Xbox, rediscovering the best racing game I've ever played. |

i started playing Everquest again after not playing for nearly 6 years. it's practically a whole new game now with all the updates and expansions. my old characters were still on the server so i just kinda picked up where i left off 6 years ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why is it the greatest? I didn't think you'd like it for some reason. I miss it, it had been years since I pumped 80 hours into a game. |

just started wind waker a week ago (yes i am behind on the times). love this game, is much fun. |

the battle system is addicting, the characters are very customizable, it has the best art design of any rpg i've played (sometimes even reminds me a lot of shadow of the colossus), and the story rarely gets in the way of the game. i only have 60 hours on it so far, so i should probably go easy on the hyperbole, but i can't think of any other rpg i've had this much fun with. the only one that really comes close is knights of the old republic. i can't stand most rpgs because of the stories and random, turn-based battles, and this gets rid of both. when the story does appear it's basically star wars. vaan: luke, c3po when around penelo ashe: princess leia basch: obi-wan balthier: han solo fran: chewbacca penelo: r2d2 so far my only two major complaints about it (outside of my original complaint about voice acting) are the lack of variety in monsters, which is really starting to stand out, and the fact that you have to load into and out of the map. i don't see why they couldn't just have the map use an optional screen overlay like in every other final fantasy. |

Playing Wario Ware: Smooth Moves It's a really fun game, makes great use of the Wii Remote, but it's a little short. Has some crazy multiplayer stuff also. Might pick up Hotel Dusk for DS. Also Zelda A Link to the Past came out on the Virtual Console today. May have to play that again. It's one of the best Zeldas. |
