hey im getting right into this! now i normally hate games that are set entirely at night but this has got me sucked in. theyve done a good job of cranking a big-city feeling through the old ps2. the few weeks i spent playing gran turismo 4 have paid off, im wiping the floor with these guys, which makes it even better :) it all got better when i turned off the music. i got put off the soundtrack in the first five minutes when wolfmother made an appearance. dreadful band, one of the most overplayed last year. |

resident evil 4 : wii edition, yet another lap through the madness, brilliant stuff! |

playing through the second phoenix wright game and it's definitely not anywhere near as good as the first one, but i want to get through it in time for the third game, which is supposedly the best out of the original trilogy. the major fault of the second game is the bland translation that's rife with grammatical errors. |

Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3... I really shouldn't have paid full price for this... it doesn't seem to differ from the Xbox NG much at all so far. It's more ''Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes'' than ''Resident Evil Gamecube''. It's beautiful, but the original NG is ALSO beautiful, to this day. I guess it was Itagaki's gift for hardliner Sony fanboys or something. Still a spectacular game. I'm almost afraid to progress, because while I've beaten this before, it was not without much weeping and gnashing of teeth. I'm not good at these kind of games. |

Speaking of action games, the Heavenly Sword demo is up on PSN now, and it's sort of fantastic. The fighting mechanics and physics feel great. Standing still, the game is VERY beautiful, but the framerate isn't very good. Especially after playing Ninja Gaiden in blazing 60fps GLORY. They need to improve it. Looks to be a great game though. |

im about 7 hours into okami for the ps2 right now. its really amazing. has anyone else tried it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. i loved okami. the gameplay didnt do much for me, but the graphics and nature of the game was bliss. just bought metal gear solid off ebay. i also bought mgs2 awhile ago. excited. |

Which Metal Gear Solid? Better be the original Playstation version or you get a B7. |

can't wait for persona 3. |

just one more week for the US |
||||||||

i'm pretty sure persona 3 was pushed to the 20th or so. |

Started a new Darkness save, this time on Hard. It's sort of rewarding, I don't think I did the game justice playing it on normal before, now my Darklings are actually useful and I find myself having to knock out almost every light I see, whereas before that wasn't a big part of my gameplan. And I discovered some new sidequests I didn't do before. Wonderful game, Riddick + Darkness = yay 4 Starbreeze. |

It was just weird how hard the beginning of the game was now that you die in like 2 hits. When you team up with Mike Patton, it's all good, but it took me a good half hour to get out of the construction site this time. I don't like being thrown to the wolves like that at the start of a game. |

BioShock for 360 (the demo, at least.) it's quite awesome. it's made me forget about metroid, stranglehold and blue dragon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh. just started playing metal gear solid. it is indeed the original playstation version (mmm. not even platinum). plus i have the 2nd one incase i dont totally hate this game, which so far, doesn't seem to be case : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

stranglehold sucks ass. bioshock is awesome. i'm playing ff3 on ds, it's great. my mouse is broken, so i can't really play anything on here. lf mouse pst. |

hmm, so far persona 3 is pretty good. i stayed up until 7am playing it, something i've only really done with yakuza and final fantasy xii lately. the gameplay mechanics are very addicting and, like final fantasy xii, become more complex as the game goes on. the battle system, for once, isn't just mashing the A button to spam the attack option. weaknesses and strengths play an even more important role than in final fantasy xii, which i thought handled it well as well. the reason why i got the game -- to pretend i'm a japanese teenager -- is well done but not as good as i hoped, since you never have enough time to do everything you want to in a day. still, i think this will get better the more i play. i only have about 7 hours logged into the game at the moment. i'd say it's recommended for people who want a quirky rpg with a focus on modern japanese culture. but people already know that. |

Got Warhawk for PS3 this morning. This game is multi-player only and I rarely play online games, but all the cool PS3 kids are playing this and talking about so I got it so I can talk about too. Not my thing but at least it lives up to the hype, awesome maps, crazy action on 32 players and the onfoot/ground vehicle/warhawk are all vastly different, but well balanced. I don't know how many times already some guy on foot has shot me down while I was clumsily strafing him in a warhawk, god I suck. My PSN name is revolverjgw, in the unlikely event some of you are also Warhawking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Warhawk is multiplayer only? I love multiplayer, but I don't buy games without at least a cursory single player campaign to allow for a hiatus from multiplayer when it becomes too frustrating. Other than that, Warhawk looked really cool. |

yo i know you were a fan of yakuza. did you know there is a japan only seque? and a third game in the makes, also japan only... kinda beat. i thought the game was definitely sub par but i couldn't help like it, probably because of shenmue |

Neither do I usually, and there's no reason why this game couldn't have had one. I just wanted to give my PS3 a workout before the holiday deluge, it was getting cold. Heavenly Sword is only 7 hours long and there's not a hell of a lot else to play right now. (Metal Gear Online is also multi-player only, but there was a never a question in my mind that I'd be getting that) Warhawk definitely came along at the right time for PS3 owners, it is fucking awesome. I'm hooked, played it for 6-7 hours yesterday and can't wait to get back into the fray today. Every option in this game is just so darn... viable. Expertly balanced, you're as dangerous sneaking around the bush on foot with a knife as you are in the sky in a Warhawk with a 2000 lb payload, no more no less. Everybody is employing a different strategy at all times because everything works. Well, there's this one map in the sky where tanks and useless and it pisses me off because tanks are my specialty, but other than that, it's so perfectly designed. The dogfighting is so satisfying. I tend to burn out on this stuff fast though, and when Halo 3 hits... I guess a ton of people are going to migrate over there. And I wonder what kind of legs this game will have... SOCOM is coming. But it has overtaken Resistance for the best online on the PS3 for the moment. |

yakuza is one of my fav games (if only for the atmosphere) so you better believe that not only am i pissed but also shitted that the sequels will never come out here. i cry myself to sleep sometimes. STEP THE FUCK UP, IT'S TIME TO DIE. |

lucky bastard. that game is flawless. lots of good things to come if you're at level 2. i recently got the wii edition and loved playing it again. currently playing castlevania IV on virtual console. |

Got NHL 08 for 360, revelatory masterpiece, biggest step forward for hockey videogames since NHL 94 for Genesis, nice to have a game that isn't a rehash of shitty archaic games. This is very unlike EA. |

good news! i just read an article on gamespot...sega announced at tgs 07 that yakuza 2 will come to the US on the ps2. no announcement on the 3rd game, but i think it'll come |

they heard my cries. now i'll have to get a ps3 for yakuza 3 (and mgs4). |

Shin Megami Tensai 3: Persona I don't really have much time for video games anymore (especially RPG's) but this is just so much fun that i've already clocked over 45 hours on it. It is the most unique RPG i've played in a long time. |

Oh I also managed to get Bioshock working on my laptop by hacking a few files and replacing the SM3 shaders with SM2 equivalents. It looks and plays like arse though so i'll leave it until my new PC finally arrives/works. |

beat metroid prime 3 fantastic. my only complaint is that it was a little bit longer and perhaps a bit harder. it's amazing how good it looks on the wii. you almost forget it's not exactly a next gen graphics system 100% baby (i "cheated" by getting the map updates from the elysian satelite thing and then looking online for the last missle expansion in the valhalla) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

how would you compare it to the first two? do you think i'd be fine if i played it without ever beating prime 1 or even looking at prime 2? |

You'd be fine playing Prime 3 without beating the first two. 3 is my favorite of the series, the controls really make a difference and the gameplay is much more streamlined. |

Dirt (PS3)- RIP Colin McRae, didn't know anything about you but I love playing your games and you seemed cool. I felt kind of bad when I ran you off the road at Circuit des Ducs. Skate (PS3)- I hate skateboarding and I've never played a Tony Hawk game, but this is kind of enjoyable. I guess. I love smacking my balls on the railings. |

i'd say it goes 1, 3, 2 (much like metal gear solid for me) 1 was great. huge and immersive. one of the best, if not the best gamecube game. 3 on the wii isn't as good but close. it's an easier, simpler game compared to the others. less weapon variations and no light/dark worlds (2nd game) the interactivity with other characters and the story line is a bit strange at first, but overall you forget about it and it's a good old metroid game. the wii mote immerses you more into the game. very interesting level design and artwork. 2 i thought of as a let down. a bit too much with the seperate worlds and weapons. although i recommend finishing the 1st game, haha, it has no real bearing on whether you can enjoy the 3rd game |

thanks, curb. there's a copy floating around my apartment so i should give it a go. the one thing that made me stop playing metroid prime 1 was all the crap with the different visors. how many visors are in 3? |

3 in total, there's a lot of scanning in the beginning but eases up an hour or two in. |

Are you EVER going to beat that game? I guess you're still scrolling through all that text. I got Heavenly Sword today but more importantly while there I also found Syphon Filter- Dark Mirror for PS2. SF was my favorite series on the PS1, and the first PS2 SF was very mediocre. This, on the other, hand, is awesome, by far the best PSP game. Should have been on a console in the first place. The PSP is weird, tons of good meaty games, but all of which are better suited for the PS2 than a portable. Heavenly Sword is a lot of fun and a treat to look at, but I don't expect another God of War or Ninja Gaiden here. Should be a fun way to spend this Sunday afternoon, I'll kill a lot of guys and see some nice panty shots, then I'll regret paying full price for it. |

why hasn't anyone mentioned the new zelda coming out this week? it brings back the wind waker style. |

The controls are touch based. It hould be interesting though i didn't like the touch option on mario 64 much and here we have no other choice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love touch controls. they usually feel more natural to me than pressing buttons. i understand why people can hate them, though. i didn't think they worked in mario or animal crossing. i think it'll work in zelda since you're controlling the fairy (i think). |

Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo Wii: just started it tonight and it's damn awesome! |

MLB Power Pros, Wii Fucking awesome. The game says "screwww graphics" and focuses on sharp and fun game play along with a highly in-depth franchise mode, complete with practice for individual players. The game showcases more player development and control over one's team than I have ever seen in a baseball game. Get it. |

On an aside, I finally kicked my WoW habit and have never felt better. It's amazing how much time that game drains on you without you ever caring to realize once you finally get that glamorous piece of epic gear. |

I've mostly just been playing Warhawk, camping out for 20 minutes at a time on mountains 2 miles away from the action picking people off with sniper rifles and airstrikes. Which I guess is why I'm getting murdered when I play Team Fortress 2, there's nowhere to hide in those tight spaces. I need to be able to play like a coward or I can't have fun. Ratchet and Clank might be out tomorrow. That Contra-meets-Mario never gets old and the demo is like playing a Pixar movie and I'm so psyched (sp?). |

late reply to optimus: 3 visors. scan visor, for info on things. normal visor, for normal stuff (haha). advanced visor (not sure if this is what it's called) semi x-ray looking dull blue bright red/orange colors that pick up thing the 'high frequency' gun can shoot. also the guns, while upgradeable as the game goes on, layer on top of each other so there isn't gun switching aside from the hypermode which is present throughout the whole game. anddddddd i'm playing mlb power pros. sweet simple and highly deep kiddie looking baseball sim on the wii. closest thing to a modern rbi baseball ala nes you'll get. and a lot of virtual console shit. donkey kong country. wave race 64. mario bros 2 lost levels. |
