been 'playing' hotel dusk. turns out it's much more of a visual novel than an adventure game, but i enjoy it since the character dialogue makes me chuckle out loud on occasion. the dialogue reminds me a lot of jeff smith's bone (the comic book, not his penis). it's been getting great reviews, lots of tens, but i hear that more than a few average joes are completely bored by it. i'm just glad nintendo took the risk in bringing over a game from such a niche genre.

Rented Lost Planet- Extreme Condition for 360. It's alright, kind of a less fun version of the extremely underrated Freedom Fighters. Also just started Clive Barker's Undying, which is absolutely awesome, legitimately scary, and I can't believe I waited so long to play it.
BTW I know there's some Manhunt fans here, Manhunt 2 was recently announced. The original is still one of the most intense games ever, totally misunderstood, I'll have to replay it soon.

One of my favorite videogame moments ever... running away from one of the inmates at the insane asylum level in Manhunt and hearing him yell ''stop... getting... SMALLER!!!''

just finished okami (thanks to a 2 month hiatus brought on by sort of playing bully, old metal gear games, and nintendo ds)
i can't deny it's a solid game with originality, but i have my complaints. it's like the story should of ended a bit half past the game and they added on more for whatever sake. (this is around the time i stopped playing it)
still a very well put together game. great graphics, great soundtrack. great gameplay (although repetitive and drawn out at times) but as far as adventure games go it's a winner.
now on to finish bully perhaps, then buy lumines plus when it's released.
then i'll be done for the old generation....crap.

I will be done with the old generation after God of War 2. That will be the PS2's last hurrah.
It's almost a shame that it's a PS2 game, because it's sick to think what it could have looked like on the PS3. And it also could have been the PS3's first really good game.

Yeah but the point is the PS3 still doesn't have a killer app yet to compete with Gears of War and Zelda. God of War 2 could have done that.
PS2 had a poor launch lineup too, though.

it really does. They needed metal gear or gta 4. resistance is supposed to be amazing, but it hasn't had much hype.

theres no way i'd get a ps3 so early on..
recently finished ufouria on emulator. crazy to think, i used to play this as a kid and then see it in video shop sale bins all the time but never bought it, only to find out its a rare nes game..
i feel like playing more nes roms, but not ranbomly like i normally do, but one game at a time. i still haven't fully played the original zelda or kid icarus.
(ps. that previous post was about okami.. stil wanna buy it, though i'd be rather annoyed if i finally got around to buying it only to find the rumours of it coming out on wii were true.)

sound voyager is good but you need great headphones to do well (blind people are meant to be good at it!)
My fav is Orbital, very addictive and hard as to get to grips with.

Rainbow Six Vegas for 360, great great shooter. Playing all these newfangled shooters with in-depth cover techniques have sort of changed the way I think when I play FPS' and shooters. It feels weird to play games that don't force you to hide and cover and stop'n'pop and use lots of self-preservation.

i've been playing with a mix of headphones and external speakers. the external speakers (my regular stereo speakers) work the best for me. the sound is surprisingly thick for a gba game. i never have to look at the screen when i play, it's great.
i've been taking advantage of the lucky lunar new year sale at play-asia: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-17-71-2-74-1bg-49-en.html
i guess i should just download them but i like to support 'art games' such as these and rez and katamari damacy and ico etc.

I've been playing Hotel Dusk for DS. Makes great use of the DS but the story is a little slow. Only a couple hours in though.
Getting SSX Blur for Wii next week. Looks like fun and I love how they've implemented the controls.

i'm on chapter 8 and the story has only just slightly sort of begun to pick up. that said, i still thoroughly enjoy the game as all of the characters are completely unique and the main character is such a badass. the only people i know who are disappointed in it are those going in expecting an adventure game when it's actually a 'visual novel' (the japanese equivalent of adventure games).

beat bully (only had 3 hours left)
at around 70% i may try to collect everything and do all the missions eventually.
started a new season of mlb2k5 w/ the devilrays. crappy pitching, mediocore hitters and a tough division. it should be fun at least until 2k7 comes out and i get to rock the phillies w/ ryan howard.
gonna get lumines plus on tuesday and trade in winning eleven because my american brain can't contemplate european soccer.

i've really gotten back into Everquest. It's actually why i've not posted here much lately. My old Enchanter character that i started over 7 years ago was still on the server. I've leveled her from level 20 to level 51 since november. i now have several guilds trying to recruite me. i also started a berserker character who just turned level 15 today. i can play at work because i'm here when nobody else is and i have a lot of "downtime."
I can't believe i'm playing EQ again i used to hate it so much. but Sony has really improved the game vastly in every aspect. there is much more questing, much less grinding, much less linearity, much more player to player interactaction and communication and there have been 13 expansions since the original game came out in 1999 including 1 expansion that came out this week.

God I can't wait for God of War 2. It's odd that the game was reviewed by the major media outlets as early as a week or two ago, but it's not even out 'till mid March.

yeah. there are reviews out and about for it too.. with the exception of poor old gamespot.
i just beat god of war. was surprised to find out there wasnt even 10 hours of gameplay. the end boss sucked ass. i spent most of my sunday, on and off, trying to beat those clones. and once i found the correct method it was piss easy.. *sigh*
i then put on prince of persia and it plays terribly compaired to god of war! the graphics and controls are not what it used to be, now that ive played the superiour game. in regards to both graphics and controls. and im still at that damn elevator!..
i just wanna beat this game and forget about it.
now to save my pennies for okami. i might buy some 2nd hand metal gear solid along the way. im sure its a brilliant game but ive never played it properly.
and then theres god of war 2, but that can wait.

Metal Gear Solid in what form? The original PS1 version/the Gamecube remake/other?
For me only the original is legit, the remake added ridiculous over-the-top cutscenes that kill the whole feel for me, and had an altered soundtrack. The original is the gr8est game ever, even with those dated PS1 graphics.

I think skipping MGS1 would be a very uncool and dorkwad thing to do. The trilogy is so story/character/universe oriented that I think you have to play them chronologically to get the full impact. And the impact is immense, you will weep at the end of MGS3 and be a bigger man for it.
