What are you playing? (sept edition)

Gummy Panda

Since the summer drought is at an end, what is everyone playing.

XBOX 360

Lego Star Wars II - Picked this up from gamestop today. Excellent game. Great humour. tbh, i haven't giggled at a game like i did today since playing Paper Mario 2.

Saints Row - I'm not a huge GTA fan but i quite enjoy this clone. The combat and driving is alot better. Plus i like how the mission system works.

Dead Rising - Its a awesome looking game. Can get annoying when you easily screw up. I really need to lv Frank.

MAC

WOW - Haven't played it in a few weeks. Kinda got tired of it near the lv47 mark. Maybe its the people in guild taking it too serious and making it their personal life aswell.

Smellyirishman

Much like yourself.

360
Dead Rising
Saint's Row

Absolute quality games.

PC
Slapping on CS:S in bursts.
Looking forward to CoH

Goodshape

DS - Mario & Luigi : Partners in Time
The first mario RPG I've played. Very good game.

PC - Civilization 4
Had a few great games of this in the past few weeks.

GrumPy

PC

Counter Strike Source


DSLite

NSMB and advance wars

Timans

Playing a little Pro Evo 5 lately. Got right into Test Drive but am bored now.

Not really playing much games because, tbh, I'm getting a bit bored of them. I need a new game and a better pc. :rolleyes:

Basically, I need CS:S.

That is all.

i_am_dogboy

Pathologic - FANTASTICLE first person adventure type thing from russia based in a dying town, excellent writing with some dodgey translations and just about the best and most interesting dialogues I've seen in a game, the last time I looked forward to just talking to people in a game so much was fallout 2, and that's when I gave my character 2 int and went around talking to the fellow idiot's to see the great improv pointing and grunting translated into hilarious and intricate conversations. Very challenging, great artistic direction, and unfortunately it's technically not all that good-but the writing, the music, the plot and the setting more than make up for that. Very clunky mechanics however...Still, I'm loving it.

OSU Tatakae Ouendan - Started playing again recently enough, on the hardest mode now.....I've a feeling I'll never stop...

Dead or alive 4 - Fun with multiple people, annoying as hell against the AI.

Psychonauts - Playing through for the second time, currently lauging my ass off in the milkman's head..."The dead people are in the ground, I brought flowers because I am sad". Without a doubt the best game I've bought this year.

Wik and the fable of souls - Little jumpy frogman adventure that looks a lot like the early oddworld games, not as intuitive on the 360 as the pc but still worth my 400 points.

Dooom

Stephen

PC: Flat Out 2 (fun in short bursts), Team Fortress Classic (7 years and I'm still addicted to it), GTA San Andreas for the second time. Couldn't beat the flight levels with my trusty keyboard and mouse, had to resort to connecting a joystick. Seems much more fun the second time around. I love it for the random chaos you can cause

I wouldn't bother. It's one of the dullest games ever created. Must be a new GBA emulator for the PSP. Damn you Ultimate Gn'G for making me upgrade

tman

PC;
FlatOut2 - only really good for short bursts...
Painkiller: Battle out of Hell - a bit of crappy level design on the first level has put me off though...
[strike]WoW[/strike] - I finally uninstalled the bastard!!!!

DS;
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! - top notch stuff
Sonic Rush - "mneh"
New SMB - my save got erased so i've had to start over...
Partners in Time

Yeah the GBA emulator is a pain though cause saving doesnt seem to work properly.

Is Ultimate GnG any good? I havnt had a killer ap for the PSP to tempt me to upgrade yet. (locoRoco was very tempting though)


On a side note, I picked castlevania for the DS today and I havnt played a Castlevania game since the mega drive release (and that was the only one I ever played)

sooo can I give a brief...WTF M8!?!?!?!

it plays like metroid?

on a side note, I love games that play like metroid.

but still.

Its metroid...with magic spells etc. And levelling up? and the ability to randomly sit on chairs.

so very confused.

Retr0gamer

Castlevania has mostly played like Metroid games since IGA took over as producer and made the stupidly good Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the PS1. You should check out the Castlevania games on the GBA, just as good as Dawn of Sorrow.

Ultimate Gn'G is rather excellent although not a patch on Ghouls n' Ghosts. Well worth getting especially since it's budget priced (30 in Xtravision). However Loco Roco is a far better game imo. Gradius Collection is worth getting. Gradius Gaiden is worth the price alone but you get 3 classics as well and one not so classic, I'm looking at you Gradius IV.

BlitzKrieg

heh, here was me thinking I was in for some classic platforming action ala bloodlines on the mega drive (i loved that game).

Is symphony of the night hard to find? (and is it just ps1?)

Retr0gamer

Symphony of the Night on PS1 is a very rare game. It goes for a mint on ebay especially in good condition with soundtrack. It is also available on the Sega Saturn but is even rarer and more expensive (and inferior despite two small new sections). In fact I only managed to get my copy when I found out my mothers cousin works for Konami and managed to get his hands on the last copy Konami Europe had.

However I heard that it will probably be one of the first releases for the launch of the PSP's PS1 emulator.

Necronomicon

My brother bought Dead Rising but I'm not allowing myself to play it until I finish Prey! I really feel close to the end, so I'd say not much more to stick out.

It's hard though, Dead Rising looks like so much fun (except for the frustratingly small writing if you don't have a HD tv )

Ri_Nollaig

lego star wars once it arrives
some graw, finished kameo and some CS:S

Darnell13

GC: Smash Bros - good craic, got it second hand in GAME last week.

PS2: We Love Katamari - deadly craic. I've no idea why this is so much fun, but it is. I was watching tv with my woman at the weekend, and some ad came on for a phone or something. She made a comment about it, but all i was thinking was "jeez, i'd love to roll all that stuff up in a ball". true story.

Also, i got Black the other week. I think I'll tackle it this weekend.

DS: NSMB - one coin left to get
And Brain training from time to time.

Ha! I was just thinking about that game the other week, going to see if I can find my copy. I used to have to leave the lights on playing it.

Coming soon: my reply to this thread mentioning ROTH in my 'currently playing' list...
