Played Zombies ate My Neighbours, need Game Genie codes to get me through the later levels with the giant ants in the mines.
Preparing for God of War 2 and the new GRAW, and also hoping that the Mother 3 translation project wraps up soon because it's only the sequel to like my favorite game ever.

Still playing tenchu 2 for PS1. I love the level editor. It's a shame I have no friends willing to play my levels due to the outdatedness of the gameplay. I make all these intricate secrets but since I made them the enjoyment is lost while playing.

Little Nemo is an insanely difficult game, major kudos if you managed to beat it.

i just finished Twilight Princess. to tell the truth i'm even a bit sad because i finished it... a bit too much based on Ocarina of Time maybe, but still fantastic.
now i've also just bought and began to play Okami, which seems to be great so far. being a goddess (though also a wolf ridden by a little creature again (Isshun or whatever his name is is no match for Midna though)) and being able to stop time and draw shapes with a brush that makes fancy pretty little flowers and coloured leaves and stuff burst out everywhere and make everyone happy is pretty cool. (what would have been even cooler is if this game had been released on Wii, but still.)

right now i'm making my third attempt to play ocarina of time and i think i'm actually enjoying it for the first time ever. i never made it past the child stage of the game because of boredom but now not only am i an adult but i have the biggoron's sword. the atmosphere of the game is really growing on me and it's my goal to beat it before i even think of picking up twilight princess.

I can relate to the boredom you used to feel with that game. I will never understand how OoT is considered the ''gr8est game ever'', even at the time something about it just felt off to me. I tried playing it a couple of years ago and now it feels so contrived with that hub field (with hardly anything of interest in it) and the equally barren areas predictably placed along the perimeter of the very video-gamey and unimmersive hub. The overworld feels more like an... overYARD or something.
Love the dungeons though, and the graveyard. The game had moments of brilliance, but it feels dated to me now. Much moreso than the other 98-99 classics (MGS, Thief, Half Life, etc).
Anyway, I picked up Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for 360, which is basically Extremely Fun and Intense Xbox 360 Shooter # 493, but I'll have to beat it quickly before getting God of War 2, which I'll undoubtedly craft a boring, long-winded rant for.
I'm also considering getting GTA Vice City Stories... I never get tired of that formula, and I really want to hear the soundtrack and revisit Vice. I loved Liberty City Stories but shiiiiiiiit, do I have time, GTA games can take over your days.

i'd only conisider liberty/vice city stories for the ps2 at a ludicrously cheap price. also, i wouldn't get it for the missions so much as i would for pretty much having cleaned up versions of gta3/vice city to mess around in when bored.

I got LC Stories for 19.99 brand new last year, so I would guess VC Stories is the same price. I loved LCS and I'm sure I'd love VCS, I'm just iffy on it because there's too many other new games and maybe I'd be better off just waiting for GTA4 and letting the anticipation build.
PS- Don't waste your money on the GTA Stories games if you're just going to ''mess around'', it's the same cities with the same weapons. The missions are great though.
When I play GTA, I'm all business, I just play the missions... unless I get to a frustrating mission, then I may go on a rampage between failures. Still waiting for them to add a Rape command.

Indeed. GRAW is a helluva series.
Ceri- make the decision for me, shall I get Vice City Stories? Is it worth the time? I heard the missions are more elaborate than those in Liberty City Stories, which is good.

finished omega weapon in ff6 advance last week... bit disappointing, challenge-wise... the new spells are ok, but not really essential. neither are new espers though finding and fighting them was a rather good time.
these days i'm playing alot of civilization 4, since i got a new pc ("wee!") which is finally able to run things appropriately. it's fun. on par with III if you got used to it.

I got Vice City Stories and beat a few missions, lots of fun and all the little refinements in every successive GTA are much appreciated.
I also got God of War 2... which takes precedence. Played it for many hours this evening. What can I say, it's God of War and it's exactly like the previous game, but tweaked ever-so-slightly to be even tighter. It does add flying sequences between areas, which are OK, but generally it's devoid of innovation. Which is fine. The action game formula is so refined and polished to a mirror sheen here so I don't give a shit about no innovation. The production values are insane and the elaborate situations and set-pieces you find yourself in are very exciting and very manly and promote massive bloodflow to your dick. There's very little bullshit in the form of tedious puzzles or repetitive battles, it's a delightfully brisk adventure.
About the only bad thing about the game is that I really really want manual control of the camera. The camera is strategically and cinematically placed and for the purposes of action and navigation, it works well, but the environments are so immense and ornate that I want to just stop and look around and admire them. But you're at the mercy of the camera's preset views. They're nice, but I like full control. Even a stationary first person view would have sufficed. If you're going to spare no expense rendering environments this awesome... LET ME FUCKING LOOK AROUND AT THEM.
It's simultaneously depressing and inspiring that a game like this is on the PS2... on one hand, this game is far better than anything on the PS3 and would have given that machine instant credibility. And would have looked even better. On the other hand, it's quite an achievement to get an insane looking game like this running on a 300mhz machine with 32mb of RAM... a nice last gasp for the PS2, and should be interesting to see what this team can do with PS3 hardware.

I'm playing GOW2 and so far it is just as fantastic as the original. The art direction on this game is just incredible, but beyond the visual aesthetics, it is just a lot of fun to play. I'm also a sucker for the ancient greek myths so this game wins on all fronts for me.
Kratos is also one bad motherfucker.

He's TOO motherfuckery. There's a puzzle where
*possible spoiler*
there's huge metal gears you have to get through, and to stop them from turning you have to pick up the dying soldier nearby and then stick him in the gears. I don't like playing as a heartless asshole. :-(

been playing twilight princess. i just returned light to kakiriko village. the game is definitely turning out to just be a fancier version of ocarina of time, but im still enjoying it a whole lot. and besides, the whole weird glitchy side with the twilight realm and such is awesome. its mega rad!

no i havent! i loved ocarina (still one of my favourite games) and majoras mask was a good game as well (tho, dunno how i wouldve liked it if it werent for ocarina...)
i'd been keeping my eye on windwaker for such a long time, but ended up not getting a gamecube. which was a let down for a zelda fan.
after twilight princess (and possibly okami too, dunno how im gonna order these future 'to play' games).. THEN i'll finally play wind waker. : )

Started a new System Shock 2 game, but this time I'm focusing almost entirely on Psionic abilities, and eschewing the weapons and miscelleaneous equipment. I'm having a hard time. If Bioshock is half as good as SS2 it will be the GOTY.

a couple nights ago i remembered that i got a copy of god hand for christmas. i put off playing it since i was worried it would suck -- it being made by the people who created okami and all. but i was craving a new game so i popped it in, and lo and behold it's the greatest single player beat-em-up of all time. the combat really is the perfect mix between twitch and mindless like everyone says. plus it's one of the most hilarious games ever. 10/10.
