Super Metroid Mario Galaxy F-Zero X Sin and Punishment (bloody hard!) |

Super Mario RPG for SNES, the Witcher for PC. Oh, and if I want some mindless violence, Unreal Tournament 3. |

i beat metroid zero mission and am incredibly impressed with it. i actually really like the comic book-style backgrounds and such, and the short, wordless story scenes. this is how the storytelling should've been done in fusion -- no words except at the beginning. the zero suit mission at the end was an absolute blast to play through, as well. really, a 10/10 game for me. for reference, super metroid is an 11/10 game. |

and fusion is a 4/10. |

I'm playing Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. But, more importantly, I'm midway through GODHAND. This game is incredibly fun! It seems to only get better as the chapters unfold. My initial skepticism has been turned into a genuine admiration. Amazing game. |

Stranglehold: Its alright, any one else have it? The Orange Box: Been playing this for a few months and i still haven't done everything in it. God Portal is ace. Halo 3: I still haven't quite got the massive hype surrounding it but I haven't played multiplayer yet. |

Halo is all about hype. This doesn't mean it's a bad game or an unworthy sequel, but the point is that the hype is bigger than the game... Americans know how to do hype. |

beat super nintendo zelda. i cheated a bit on got help from a gamefaq. fun game. tried playing resident evil outbreak today (got it a while back in a three pack) and it's no fun. controlling one person is hard enough let alone 3 or 4 and having no real pause option. i'm probably gonna trade in my ds and games tomorrow (the VC seemed to fill that oldschool/sidescroller/shooter void) and get geometry war galaxies on the wii, replace a copy of nfl2k5 i broke on the ps2 and update metal gear solid 2 by getting whatever the deluxe 2nd edition is called |

Picked up Castlevania- Dracula X Chronicles for PSP on the cheap. The remake of Rondo of Blood is 3D and it's not perfect but it works, the original seemed more bland than usual when I played it... and honestly looked bland and gay looking even at the time compared to the gloom and doom of Castlevania 4... but in making the soundtrack less dancy cheesy weesy they've made it pretty nondescript. I wish I could play the remake with the original soundtrack. I also unlocked Symphony of the Night but this is like the 8th time I've owned this game. |

Splinter Cell DA for 360 I have been playing the multiplayer mode a lot. I recently rediscovered Doom 3. I got it for original xbox when it came out, played it a little here and there but stopped after I got stuck on the campaign. So I got a 360 for Christmas and I was going through my old games to see what would play on 360 and what I wanted to keep or sell. I decided to pop it in and give it another chance. I had Otto Von Schirac's early EPs playing through my 360. Once I started playing with Otto's music it was the creepiest, most bugged out thing I ever played.. especially since his music blended with the soundtrack for the game which sounded straight hellish. If anyone tries this don't do the campaign, start a system link game and just play through on co-op mode (even if it is just you). Doom is not about PDA devices, door codes, lock combos, or any of that and the multiplayer versions of the maps cut all that out for straight run and gun play. |

After I played Resident Evil 4 I went back to play some of the remakes they did for Gamecube. They looked great but I was already too spoiled by the new over the shoulder camera. I just couldn't get into it. RE5 looks great though can't wait to play it. |

the original doom was the most badass game ever when i was a kid, and i only played the snes version. |

i'm still nailing call of duty 4. multiplayer/xbox live is sublime. |

do you prefer that or GRAW? |

Can anyone who owns Unreal Tournament 3 tell me if there is actually a Single Player campaign to be found somewhere in the game??? It's advertised that it does, and I've seen trailers of what looks to be a single player section, but when I start up the "Campaign", the game just has me fighting bots in the multiplayer maps... where the hell is the single player campaign? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i played the xbox live demo of GRAW and really couldn't get in to it. i know a lot of people who like it, so it must be good - just not for me. Multiplayer COD4 is one of my fav games ever. i like how you start with shit weapons and have to work up. levels are VERY well designed & game runs very very smooth. only bad thing is you cant play split screen on live like halo. |
||||||||

It's not a ''campaign'' per se. It's just the multiplayer maps and you play against bots in standard capture the flag/deathmatch rounds. With only the vaguest sense of ''story'', with cutscenes preceeding the action, some nonsense about a war and stuff. They should have just made it a... you know, TOURNAMENT. That you fight through. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, that's seriously fucking lame. Why even bother calling that a single player campaign?? Shit, even Unreal Tournament 99 had single player arena vs bots, but at least they didn't try to pass it off as an actual single player campaign. Since the multiplayer portion of the game is nowhere near as fun as it used to be (where the fuck is the Assault mode???), and the single player "campaign" is a fucking marketing lie, I'm going to have to say that Unreal Tournament 3 is dogshit wrapped in a shiny package. |
||||||||

Well, for practice and stuff, I guess, an elaborate tutorial... I suck at Unreal and I actually played through quite a bit of the single player to get a feel for the weapons and rules before jumping online... and getting destroyed anyway. UT3's unsuccessful run has been pretty surprising to me. I never liked UT but I can see the appeal. The reviews are solid, and the game doesn't seem that different from its predecessors to me. There's just too many other great online shooters right now, UT feels like a relic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah and like yeah I see your point and stuff, it's like basically false advertising and stuff. No room in this world for UT3, I have the PS3 version and everyone's too busy playing Call of Duty 4, Resistance and my precious Warhawk |

well part of the beauty of the Unreal series has always been the mod community, especially those modders who make the Mutators. There are/were hundreds of really interesting mutators for UT 99 (the only one I really liked, never got into 2003 or 2004) that really changed up the gameplay. Also, there used to be "Assault" gameplay mode where one team would defend a fortress and the other would, you guessed it, assault it. It was like the opening scene to saving private ryan meets quake. In my opinion, the game was actually better before they scrapped all the exciting stuff to add lame vehicles. |

BTW Resistance 2 is supposed to have 60 man online and 8 man co-op and I can't wait. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant to add in that last post: "so hopefully the mod community will turn this game around, because right now the user-base doesn't seem to be growing very fast." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point, yes yes. The people can still carve a niche for this game themselves. They'll probably mod it to be more like the older games. |

I can't believe this thread is still alive. Someone started it in 2004! That must be some sort of record. Anyway, I've been playing Zack & Wiki which just came out in Europe this week. Loved every second of it. The puzzles get really tricky and the game doesn't give any hints unless you specifically ask for it. I sincerely hope Nintendo is paying attention, all the hints almost killed the last two Zelda's for me. Zack & Wiki allows you to actually solve all the puzzles yourself, which was really cool. It made me feel like a genius. Also I've been playing Half-Life 2 on Playstation 3 for a couple of weeks. I'm terrible with first person games so i keep dying all the time, but the presentation in this one is so amazing I keep playing anyway just to see what happens next. Certainly an interesting experience. It's like I love it and hate it at the same time. |

Unreal 2 XMP was a real fun multiplayer experience, a real proof that spin-offs and mods can be better than the original! I'm not much an online FPS gamer myself, but the occasional XMP, Quake or Counterstrike can be a real thrill. I feel like they watered down the Unreal experience as soon as they started releasing new games every year - it's like an EA sports game franchise now, lost its edge. I don't know what FPS game to try next, since there's so many of them... It's kind of overwhelming, actually. The result, for me, is a kind of numbing and a momentary lack of interest. |

Devil May Cry 4 demo is on PSN now. This shit is BEAUTIFUL, I adore the architecture and environments in DMC1 and 3, and it plays like Devil May Cry 3 so the action is fuck awesome. I just hope the story and presetnation maintains the cheese and doesn't get too serious. |

Super Metroid Impossible. Apparently the hardest hack of the game yet. It's soul crushing. gotta mockball, speedball, speedbounce, infinite bomb jump, diagnol bomb jump, horizontal midair shinespark, you have no idea what I'm on about. |

It's good to see that game get good reviews, though it's probably gonna sell like shit. The story about Suda 51 giving away NHM-themed toilet paper and trying to sell signed copies of NMH... and not getting ONE taker... in JAPAN... is the saddest/funniest thing ever. I determined that I'd buy a copy no matter what after reading that. Although I had no fun playing Killer 7, the style was inventive and NMH looks much better, the industry needs more oddballs like him. |

I loved Killer 7 and NMH has had some excellent reviews. Looks like the final reason I need to pick up a wii... At the moment I'm playing Quake 4 which seems like a piece of shit to be honest. Still have to finish off Halo 3 as I havent been able to pick it up since I had a marathon 7 hour session, got a disc read error and lost all of the progress I'd made. Great. Also downloading the Devil May Cry 4 demo right now. Looks fucking great and will give me something to do when I get in from the pub. |

Metal Gear Solid- Portable Ops Plus for PSP. It's kind of strange and actually not a particularly inspiring expansion pack, but it's MGS, it's Portable Ops, it's inexpensive, and it's still fun as hell and you can play as Old Snake, though his clenched ass doesn't have as many polygons or the same quality bump mapping for his crack. The wait for MGS4 and Metal Gear Online is sheer agony. Also watched half of Uncharted and played the other half, equally entertaining both ways, someday this franchise is going to be legendary. |

past few days played through metal gear solid and metal gear solid 2. the first is still as great as i remember. 2 is still as semi-disappointing as before. as i was playing my rating was fluctuating from 6 to 8 and overall i still think it's a 7. i do understand the story completely now. i may start mgs3 today. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll replay them when the box set comes out. i'm just wondering if mgs1 will be on a ps2 disc or a ps1 disc, since i no longer have a ps1 memory card. :\ |
