Shadow of the beast 2 on my tiring A500 - 'TOUGH' game :eek:

o1s1n · 21-05-2010 04:59PM

And now I cheat on all my old games for the next month or two.

/Boots up Red Dead Redemption for the first time.

Woot!

CiDeRmAn · 22-05-2010 08:52AM

Looking to buying Red Dead Redemption, the original was fantastic fun, and the reviews for this seem uniformly great, must go and decapitate the piggy bank, here piggy piggy!

Well, I'm 5 hours or so in and it's bloody brilliant! Everyone, smash up those piggy banks and run off to buy a copy this instant.

CiDeRmAn · 22-05-2010 03:20PM

Can't buy it now, playing a certain, yet to be released Mario game that shall remain nameless, and I shall remain shameless! It's the cat pyjama's, the dogs nuts, the butterflies doc martens, all these things and more!

been playing crazy taxi, haha forgot how much i loved it.

Atavan-Halen · 22-05-2010 10:35PM

Crazy Taxi is awesome, I love it a lot too!

Finally started into Silent Hill myself.

o1s1n · 22-05-2010 10:50PM

Silent Hill really is the scariest game ever made...there's something demented about it. I knew I was buying a survival horror game when it was released, but jesus christ. Scared the **** out of me.

Atavan-Halen · 22-05-2010 10:55PM

It has an eerie vibe to it alright. Just something unsettling about it.

Silent Hill 2 is even better. It's the Catcher in the Rye of videogames for me.

weeder · 23-05-2010 01:56PM

im really wanting to play a load of games but theres a load of good ones coming up at once for me and im broke so i gotta pick one :mad:

red dead is on the list though along with a load of dreamcast games and ds titles

CiDeRmAn · 24-05-2010 08:11AM

Silent Hill 2, that bit when you get the torch!
That game almost made me need new pants, awesome!
Multiple endings, the one I got made some psychological sense too, oddly.
It could be some time before we see anything like it again, unless of course the next Super Mario Bros Wii game has some dark and twisted undercurrent,
I can see it now,
"It's a-me Mario!"
"The Pyramid Head a-suit! I got it!"
Now start trawling through Koopas with a 8 foot sword made of a triangle of rusty iron!

Putting your hand into that hole in the wall was the best use of vibrating controllers since the original MGS1.

I'm sure plenty of male teenagers found much more.....satisfying uses for vibrating controllers when they came out.

The Rez Trance vibrator is the best videogame sex toy ever.

Eh... Google image search for Rez Trance Vibrator even with safe search on brings up some NSFW images!

Sounds like you're speaking from experience.

STOP GROOMING ME!!!

Retr0gamer · 24-05-2010 04:05PM

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

o1s1n · 24-05-2010 04:09PM

The only problem with buying Rez trance vibrators now is they're all second hand.

/shudder

Retr0gamer · 24-05-2010 04:22PM

If there's a bang of stale fish off it it's best to stay away.

Haha eww

CiDeRmAn · 24-05-2010 07:00PM

I would suggest taking the casing apart and soaking it in bleach until the bad smells have gone away, however if it starts vibrating of its own accord and making for your privates, an orifice or both, then get rid of it, it's had a taste of humans and grown to like it, so have it humanely put down!

Xinkai · 25-05-2010 04:56PM

Gone back to my old Streets of Rage 1 addiction, downloaded the OST's for 1 & 2. How fun that game is :rolleyes:

CiDeRmAn · 26-05-2010 12:05PM

AHHHHH
Streets of Rage and it's sequels are everything that's wrong about videogames, mindless crap, punching a button or two and mostly going right, the whole genre is awful, especially Golden Axe!

Only Batman Returns on the Snes is good, and that's probably because of the wonderful atmosphere of the movie evoked therein.

Sidescrolling Beatem Ups, they really grind my gears!

Don't make me have to beat you to death, because I will!

The Golden Axe games have dated quite badly. I still enjoy them though, more out of nostaliga than anything.

Although the Revenge of Death adder is still feckin brilliant. Such a shame it was never ported out of the arcade.

Streets of Rage on the other hand - you can **** right off! They're still fantastic. Espectially 2 & 3. The graphics are among the best on the Megadrive and the fighting goes far beyond just pressing punch and kick. The sheer numble of enemy sprites on the screen at once during harder modes with no flickering is a feat in itself.

Anyone who says otherwise deserves to have all their games taken away for sheer lack of taste.

Batman Returns? you just solidifed your lack of taste. I'll pm you my number now so you can begin handing in your collection.

Or I'll go all Axel on your ass :pac:

Retr0gamer · 26-05-2010 02:26PM

Alien vs. Predator is still the best scrolling beat'em up although anyone that doesn't enjoy some 2 player Streets of Rage is sick and wrong. Also Revenge of Death Adder is all kinds of awesome.

Maybe at the next retro meet up I should bring Pu Li Ru La for the Saturn:

Atavan-Halen · 26-05-2010 02:27PM

What was it with the saturn and highly....suggestive games??

o1s1n · 26-05-2010 02:30PM

I remember playing that years ago in MAME. Just randomly stumbled across it.

'Aw, look at the pretty 2d visuals. So pretty'

Then I got to that digitized level. Was convinced some sex freak was after messing with the rom I'd downloaded and perved it up for the craic.

CiDeRmAn · 26-05-2010 04:30PM

I used to put a good few 20p's into the old Aliens coin-op back in the day, a great game.

But I detest the genre overall, sorry!
I have Guardian Heroes for both Saturn and GBA and have yet to play them, perhaps they'll be a second and third example of the genre I like!

o1s1n · 26-05-2010 04:34PM

I wasn't impressed with Guardian Heroes at all

The jumping between different plains made the game feel very jerky and lose fluidity.

Aliens Versus Predator is fantastic alright. Best game to ever come out of that franchise by far. Hell, best THING to ever come out of that franchise by far.

So, what you playing at the mo? Retro Edition
