    Hasn't been asked in a while... and there's probably gonna be a lot of GTA:SA responses, but anyways...
    I'm currently playing:
    Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC) - like I said before, even though I'm not a big RPG fan, this is great. Air Pirates = win.
    WarioWare Inc: Minigame Mania (GBA) - Again. Couldn't resist taking it out again last week and now I'm addicted again. :rolleyes: Haven't touched a DS game since I picked this up again.

    Probably gonna import WarioWare Twisted pretty soon. :)

    PC: New upgrade so loads of catching up to do
    Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault: Far better than the terrible demo. Different pace to many FPS games. Overall I'm enjoying it immensely.
    Doom 3: No where near as terrible as i thought it would be but nothing special either. Decent enough but not great.

    PS2:
    Devil Mat Cry 3: Very frustrating but very good at the same time.
    Katamari Damacry: So much fun I had to play it again

    Gamecube:
    F-zero GX: Still haven't managed to beat this excellent futuristic racer.

    Xbox:
    Halo 2: Not great the second time through. Getting very dull as I approach the end.

    Saturn:
    Radiant Silvergun: Can't stop playing this. Best shmup ever.
    Shining Force 3: Excellent strategy RPG.

    N64:
    Mario 64: Love this game so much I'm playing it again

    DS/GBA:
    Mr. Driller: Great puzzle game
    Shining Force: Fantastic strategy RPG.

    TMB... we've very similar tastes!

    PC: San Andreas (currently installing, praying it'll work) and... Psychonauts.. :D

    Psychonauts is a nice little game.. nice little 3D platformer with plenty of humour!

    EDIT: San Andreas worked... and it's very cool! :cool:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Xbox
    San Andreas - i couldn't wait until the pc version arrives in the post tomorrow so i rented it for the xbox :)
    i'm blown away by the sheer scale of it - "gigantic" just about sums it up... and i'm still only on the first city!
    Mercenaries - fairly "meh". i can see it drawing me in though
    Pro Evo 4 - sheer quality
    Halo 2 - extremely "meh"

    GC
    Metroid Prime - God damn i love this game! :)
    Resi 4 - not very replayable tbh (but then again, this is almost my fourth playthrough...)
    Eternal Darkness - sold this game and deleted the save to make some room on my memory card... bought it again and i've had to start over from the beginning.

    PC
    Vice City - i'd forgotten what a balls the mission where you have to steal a tank is :(
    Far Cry - got as far as the end of the fort level and gave up... i'll pick it up again though.
    Halo - well... i reinstalled it anyway. not sure if i can be arsed finishing it tbh

    oh yeah... and some emulated Super Metroid

    I just got a PC after quite some time with a low-spec one, so a few older games alongside the newer...

    Deus Ex: Please don't hate me for not getting to play it until now. Really good.

    Thief- Deadly Shadows: I loved the first two, this one's also great. Shame about the segmented levels though.

    Perimiter: This is really odd, but cool. And quite pretty.

    Far Cry: Gorgeous with everything turned up full, and not a bad game to boot.

    Morrowind: So big. So very, very big. And fabulous.

    Star Wars KOTOR: Also really cool. And OMG Wookies!

    Mechwarrior 4 Mercs: I like this. Bit like MW2 Mercs but with much snazzier visuals.

    Doom 3: Pretty, but unfulfilling. Rather boring.

    And a couple of other small things like ADOM or Dopewars...

    I managed to clear FarCry on the hardest setting, it's mostly do-able, untill you get to the volcano crater at the very end, and have to fight 6 or so of the huge beasties... being super-pissy and hiding in the small alcove between the two main doors and shooting people in the shoulder is the order of the day.

    Still, makes you feel like a small god when you do get past it.
    a small, cheap, god, but a god none the less.

    Anyway this month i have been mostly playing

    Guardian Heros Advance (GBA): kinda disapointed with this, as i cleared it in the four hours or so it took me to get home at the weekend. Good fun while it lasted.

    Shining force (GBA): Just started, kinda funky, hopefully it'll make those long journeys to sligo fly by.

    Tales of Symphonia (GC)
    probably the best 'cube RPG [Skies of arcadia doesn't count, i owned a DC]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I started playing Tales Of Symphonia over the weekend.

    I bought it months ago and just couldn't get into it at the time. But now it has me hooked alright.

    And I also playing City of Heroes a bit too... but I haven't been able to play it for a while as the room I keep my PC in has no electricity... I really need to get that fixed this week...

    Yeah. It's pretty good... But I'm going to go completely mental if I play one more RPG were I have to escort some pious bint around on a quest to heal the world... I've already done this in Grandia 2 and Final Fantasy X.

    I'm only about 9 hours in so I'm hoping the storyline in Tales of Symphonia will open up a bit more soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    PC: GTA San Andreas - so much better than it was on the playstation
    Xbox: Midnight Club 3 dub edition - hasn't been touched since GTA arrived
    PS2: Nothing right now... GT4 a while back.

    Don't worry. It starts off cliched but gets a bit more interesting along the way. Just don't expect anything mind blowing. It's more about the characters than the story. I got a few laughs at Llyods expense, he's a bit of a plonker :D

    XBOX: Morrowind and steel battalion (yes i do have the 40+ button controller and it rocks)

    tis a hell of a lot better than the xbox version as well.
    apart from the sudden reboot of my machine a few minutes ago, and a few bugs here and there...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,689 ✭✭✭orangerooster


    PS2- MGS 3.
    PC- Morrowind. Nothing much new out that interests me at the moment, thinking of going back to Baldurs Gate 2 to clear it again but might not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    PS2 - GT4. bought it today from GAME. Bit suspect about the loyality points on my card as the GAME website said £10 and the guy in the store said €10.

    XBOX - Ninja Gaiden. On chapter 10. Taking a break after spawn killing in the aquaducts to upgrade my weapons. Now have the Unlaboured Flawness

    GC - Resi 4. Have to finish this even though i've had it since the US release.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    World of Warcraft,BF 2 demo,GTR with the odd bit of DOD and COD thrown in.
    IMO its a toss between wow and BF2 [judging by the demo] for probably the best games i have ever played on any system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 531 ✭✭✭Lord Oz


    Currently playing San Andreas and Homeworld 2 on the PC, playing Mechassault 2 on xbox. Nothing in the GC right now though.
