i have Ikaruga, it's great : ) my favourite GC game remains Metroid Prime though.
Silent Hill 4 is out on september 29th in europe i think
i have an iMac 700 Combo, i think it can play DVDs... i installed OS X 10.3 two days ago through an installation DVD i think
i'm hesitating whether i should buy or not Burnout 3, everyone says it's great but i'll ask my brother if he knows of someone who has it already so i can test it (just because everyone thinks it's great doesn't mean i will like it, everyone loved Splinter Cell but i found it way too hard for me, i gave up without even finishing the 1st mission in its entirety -_-)

yeah, that will be able to play dvd's. I only asked because the new Myst game comes on 4 dvd's, a 700MHz imac should be able to run the new Myst game fine if you wanted to get it.

Excellent thread.
I am pathetically addicted to Final Fantasy XI. The ability to have a sub-class adds to much to the strategy, and you won't find a deeper combat system in any other MMORPG. The Chains of Promathia expansion comes out in 3 days and it adds Bahamut as a summon. Here's the trailer (.asx)
Whenever the servers are down in the previous game, or if I'm feeling twitchy, I load up Street Fighter: The Anniversary Collection. I has all the original Street Fighter 2 incarnations condensed into one game. You can select how old the music system is, how old the sound effects are, etc. But the real prize in this game is the inclusion of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. I love just playing through arcade mode and working on my technique so that I can incur mass devastation! Noone can step on my Chun-Li game.
On the horizon? You know I'm getting this...

That's an underappreciated game. It's not half as good as the first Deus Ex, but it's not half as bad as a lot of Deus Ex fans have convinced themselves it is. The headshots problem really irks me, and the environments are so undersized, but other than that, I loved it.
I'm still playing Silent Hill 4- The Room. Getting better and better as the story gets more coherent and clear. And getting harder and harder as things get more... haunted.
I'll have to pick up the Street Fighter Collection when it drops in price a little... can you play online?
I guess on Monday, I'll have Silent Hill conquered, and I'll be picking up... Fable.

it seemed glorious for the longest time, i kept up to date with all the journal entries on the site. but all the drawbacks they made in the end made it a lousy game, it isnt even all that explorable! half of it is linear set walking paths.. shame really.

i've been playing the pc port of hundred swords, and made it to the final battle which is so IMPOSSIBLE that i want to stab myself in the neck. so, to keep away from the frustration, i'm back to dreamcast for a bit.
this week i have street fighter 3: third strike, jet grind radio, bangai-o, and napple tale to play through. next week will be whichever i didn't beat along with rez and ikaruga. (god bless bittorrent.)

ah, maybe not then. i've been out of the gaming loop for like a year now, and last time i read about fable it looked like it had the potential to be one of the best games ever. sounds like a fantasy version of shenmue from your description, which would be a major letdown indeed. ah well, i'll go back to my ignorance then and hope games get good someday.

just imagine the future of gaming, virtual reality isnt that far away, and once technology reaches a capacity to include the information of quantum physics and enough memory processing, virtual terrain will emerge. also, same goes for the human genome, that can be converted to information and included at the quantum level. i gurantee that before we kick the bucket we will be talking to sentient AI life forms about the same deep questions that mankind faces in a virtual reality.

i just want decent gameplay. immersive experience is interesting as an idea, but game companies have products to sell, and they seem to be more concerned with making their games resemble movies than actual games anymore. i noticed that almost all games currently out are sequels, rehashes, or tie ins. i want some original, solid games to come out.

I picked up Street Fighter Anniversary Collection today... it looks so awesome the big screen, an explosion of color. And the multiple soundtracks all rock. But I can't pull off the moves! I got it for PS2, and I'm having trouble busting out a fireball or a Dragon Punch when I need to. The D-pad is awkward, and the stick is slippery. Hopefully I'll get used to it... I'm a really good Street Fighter, but I'm getting my ass handed to me on the harder difficulties because I'm just not flowing.
On the packaging, it says it comes with the ''full length animated Street Fighter 2 movie'', but, uh... I can't find it anywhere. Is it buried in some options screen or something? I only got the one disc... that's a good movie, the fights are wild.
Also bought the Xbox version of Metal Slug 3, haven't played it yet though. I sure hope there's an infinite lives code, because I always get shellshocked when I play Metal Slug.

In relating to Hitman, does anyone know where i can sample all of the tracks for Hitman Contracts, like amazon usually does but with this particular album they dont. I extracted the sound from Hitman 3 and wanted to label them.

That's messed up out of all the games out there your playing Hundred Swords. I just downloaded the PC port last week. It's ok....I haven't gotten far.
Ophecks: The movie is under Hyper Street Fighter 2. Go to I think options and it'll be there.

Silent Hill 4, which i received yesterday... so far i finished the water prison level.
Eileen seems cool! i hope i'll be able to save her (otherwise i'll just restart) : )
it's scary/unsettling in different ways than the previous Silent Hill episodes, but just as much: i've been scared of opening a door because i knew (and that's different from the previous Silent Hill episodes, but just as effective actually) what i would find behind the door... just not exactly how....
so far the low point would be the "riddles", you're FAR too guided it's almost insulting (i cringe when i read things like "the opposite of north-east is southwest", or 'i'm so thirty! chocolate!".... -_-) - and the french translation is still as poor as for the previous episodes (so i play in english), but the ambiance is there, so i'm satisfied. i played until 2 or 3 am last night and had difficulty stopping.

Found it, but unfortunately it's the edited version, little sex or blood (sex and blood are the bee's knees), and the compression/quality is horrid... understandable, you can only fit so much on one disc! Nice bonus for those that haven't seen it though.
Man, I love this Anniversary Collection, can't stop playing it. I multiple soundtracks are great, I'm so glad the CPS1 lo-fi early '90s tracks are there. Bassy and driving and grimy.
I'm also playing Sly Cooper 2- Band of Thieves. PS2 is the best system in history, platformer wise. This game is brilliant.
Uzim- Eileen is kinda tough to save. I don't want to spoil it for you if you don't already know, but... even if you let her get her ass totally kicked by tons of enemies, it's cool. She can't die. But...
And yeah, the riddles and puzzles are way too easy. There's a NIGHTMARE item fetch quest later in this game... have fun. :_-(. Hopefully you won't overlook the same stupid little detail that I did.
Overall, I loved the game, and I loved the ''room''. I just hated going back there so much, loathed the limited carrying space for items. Lowered the fun factor for this game a slight nudge and added nothing in the way of strategy or challenge. But... I guess they had to find SOME way to inspire you to keep going back to that room! The events there made it bearable, I thought it was really interesting. I caught Eileen in some sexy positions via the peephole.

i read riddles were the same in easy or normal, and that Eileen was indeed tough to save, so i'm playing in easy mode... i hope it (whatever it is that i'll have to do) will be easier then...

star wars trilogy: jedi apprentice (game boy advance)
it's not very good, the animation of the main character (luke) is roughly the same as the old prince of persia wich is ok, but the game gets a bit boring, basically a left to righter, blasting your way through....it's a nice one to have though i thought. and it follows luke's evolution from ep 4 to 6. quite easy might i add.
