Too bad we can't play online, at least I don't think we can. You avatar is from Mega Man Legends, no? Now that was a fun game.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, super mega fun, very mega beauty. Speaking of Mega Man, the R&C games are kind of how I used to envision modern Mega Man games feeling like eventually. About the same ratio of platforming-to-action, same variety of weapons, same robotic adversaries, same huge robotropolis settings and vaguely-cybernetic natural environments... now if only they got a developer as talented as Insomniac to work on a Mega Man game.

fuck. i love the ratchet and clank series. wheres my ps3..
the mega man series is good as too. i'm sure if imsomniac worked on mega man, it'd be an improvement to the legend games or the recent mega man games.

Last night I borrowed my friend's SNES with mariokart, super mario world, star fox, mario RPG, mario all-stars, and more... He's got like all my favorite classic games and he was kind enough to let me borrow the whole package for a while (his suggestion, not mine, actually). We started a new game of mario world last night and got pretty far. I shall now continue that quest.

yea ratchet and clank is probably the only ps3 game i adamantly NEED to play... I purchased the second one, for PS2, for a low price right after I beat the third game, I can't get enough.
otherwise I'm not playing much right now, after beating Grandia 2 last week, except the occasional Mario no Super Picross challenge (it NEVER ends, that game) for SNES.

finished super mario galaxy. fantastic, but not sure when i'll pick it up again to go through as luigi. sorry if that was a possible spoiler for anyone because it wasn't.
played through about 80% of resident evil x: code veronica then got tired of it. i felt like i already beat it and then all of a sudden oh now you're somebody else or hey you didn't really beat it.
now i've moved onto resident evil 4 (bought a neat 3 pack for $30 around halloween on ps2. x, outbreak and 4) it's great. i like the newer camera angle. let's me feel more in control or aware of what is happening. survival horror games really scare the crap out of me. i've never played any before because i'm a big baby but i think i'm pretty used to them now.

Ratchet sold like crap apparently, not a huge surprise but still tragic and stupid. So hurry on up and buy it if you haven't already.
I started a third Mass Effect save, and yesterday I watched my cousin beat it in one sitting. It's a good thing the game is so fun and replayable because it's so damn short. Other than that I'm still playing Warhawk regularly and looking forward to the rad new map and dropship vehicle this month. Definitely the most fun online game I've played.

i found loose carts of metroid fusion and zero mission at a used record store for 10$ each, which felt like god's christmas present to me. playing through fusion right now, not really digging it that much due to the much-maligned hand-holding and intrusive story elements, also the bosses are pretty lame. but i'll take 2d metroid any way that i can, even if it's anally.
once i beat it i'll let my self play the one that matters: zero mission. can't wait!

man, the original ratchet was such a good platformer though (the sequals were good sequals too).
i played a bit of mario galaxy at my bros, man that game looks good. i watched that 15minute gameplay video of mgs4 and almost had tears in my eyes. the environment to it all is so fucken impressive.

Trying to play Unreal Tournament 3. Hate it, spastic, simple, repetitive. Does deliver what it promises though, just not my style.
2008 is nigh, what's you gay's top 5/top 10 for 2007
1- Warhawk (PS3)- had no expectations, bought it because it was cheap/to bolster my once lean PS3 library/ word-of-forum-text, turns out to be the most fun game I've played this year, hands down. I feel like a kid in a candy store each time I spawn.
2- Mario Galaxy (Wii)- finally some real Mario magic again, well worth waiting 11 years for.
3- Uncharted- Drake's Fortune (PS3)- fun, treat for the eyes and ears, but another bonus is the presentation, nice to play a cinematic action/adventure game that is well acted and scripted. Nice break from the meathead Gears of War and the god awful Resident Evil approaches (both great games otherwise!).
4- Bioshock (PC/360)- being a huge fan of System Shock was both a blessing and a curse. Once the WOW factor wore off, the gameplay was too familiar, and actually dumbed down... but the presentation and concept was novel. It totally earned its GOTY honors.
5- Ratchet and Clank Future (PS3)- this series is the 21st century version of Mega Man in the 80s/90s, totally formulaic and endlessly fun.
6- God of War 2 (PS2)- a classic lost in the shuffle this year because of its platform and release date.
7- Syphon Filter- Logan's Shadow (PSP)- my favorite PS1 series is AAA quality again. Just wish I could play it on the PS3, or even PS2. Too good for a handheld.
8- DiRT (360/PC/PS3)- RIP Colin McRae.
9- Silent Hill Origins (PSP)- series redeems itself, but again fuck this "console quality on a handheld" shit.
10- Mass Effect (360)- mixed bag, awesome campaign, boring sidequest system. Still, very addictive and fun to play through the story quest in different ways.
Hon. mentions-
Orange Box (PC/360/PS3) and Resident Evil 4 (Wii)- the meat here is 04-05. Disqualified. But both are better than all of the above games.

heh, as much as i loved god of war, i hated god of war 2. it just wasn't fun anymore. i dunno, i'm probably wrong here considering the amount of praise it got, but i was so bored while forcing myself to the end :P

Ohhhhhh shit, bump out Mass Effect, put in S.T.A.L.K.E.R! Another under the radar game. Closest thing to Deus Ex since Deus Ex.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Deus Ex 3, actually.

I'm going to skip on a top 10 list, because I haven't had the chance to play that many new games (like 9 out of the 10 on Ophecks's list!). But here's some gems I've enjoyed this year:
1) Super Mario Galaxy 2) Tomb Raider: Anniversary 3) Zelda: Phantom Hourglass 4) Broken Sword 4 (not a great game, but I enjoyed it) 5) Persona 3
Again, I've still to test most of the games released in the last couple of months... plenty of gorgeous games out there.

so i just beat metroid fusion and i'm sad to say that it sucked. i did not enjoy it all -- at no point did it feel like a true metroid game to me. just started zero mission, though, and it's already healing all that pain. awesome stuff.

Guitar Hero 3 (great fun, addictive, the Missus loves it)

went back and finished resident evil code: veronica x. i only had about 2 hours left where i stopped.
forgot that the wii vc doesn't actually have save points and i lost my smb3 'resume file' when i turned the system off while in the game. i didn't want to redo the 7th world which i had to continue on.
i may DL zelda on SNES, otherwise my games are all played out for now.
maybe i'll get a job now

Assassin's Creed is weird. The fundamentals of the game are sooooo fun. It has the coolest and most intuitive platforming mechanics ever, you can climb ANYTHING you can see, and the stealth kills all feel awesome. But the mission design is terrible. Once you've completed the first two assassinations, you've seen every trick the game has up its sleeve, yet it stretches beyond 9 assassinations.
Massive squandered potential, if the mission design was as varied and imaginative as Hitman's, the game would be one of the best ever. Still worth a rent to experience its beauty and wicked environmental interactions.

Still playing WoW on a somewhat consistent basis. I have a huge backlog of PS2 RPGs (a few PSOne to boot) as well as some Gamecube/GBA games. I've been wanting to buy a PSP/DS for awhile now, and I may just buy a DS after finding out about some aftermarket players for it.
I also just picked up Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core on the side. I need to find someone to build me an Arcade Stick for some $$, so I can get some positive practice in with Order-Sol.

Oh phooey, I missed my thread, sorry. Holidays and all that. Congrats on 666 Satan, you're a hell of a hockey player.
On topic, I started a second save on Silent Hill Origins. Anybody that likes this series HAS to play this, it feels so authentically Silent Hill that it gets me teary eyed. Thankfully it's likely coming out for PS2 eventually if you don't have a PSP. I'll buy it again if it has manual camera. Origins is endearingly clunky, but I like control over how I look at game worlds.
