Topic: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Let's see. I've got a handful actively in progress:

  • Gears of War 2 (360)

  • Beyond Good & Evil (PS2 on PS3)

  • Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)

  • Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)

I'm still playing LittleBigPlannet here and there. I need to put some time into a level design soon.
I've also got a bunch of PSP games on the back burner too.. Some I'm most of the way though and some I've just started.

What's everyone else been playing?

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I have put all my gaming on hold for a while, but the games i were playing, and will continue when i have some time are:
- Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
- Castlevania III (NES)
- Fable II (360)
- Rockman & Forte (SNES)

and thats everything. I have been playing other games though, but those are the ones that i was making progress in.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

PC wise Warhammer Online with occasional bouts of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Call of Duty 4 multi-player thrown in as well. 360 wise I'm struggling through the last campaign (Orc and Dark Elf) of Warhammer: Battle March. I'm dying to beat it soon because I've got an epic Xbox 360 back log at the moment and tons more games on my "must have" list. Also occasionally play Rock Band 2. I've been playing a lot of Tetris Party on Wii with my girlfriend also. Nothing on GBA or DS at the moment as I'm waiting to get my new DS for Christmas.

Oh yeah, I forgot i was playing WoW. i still need to level my guy to 80, but i havent had the time

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Still playing Combat Arms on PC.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Combat Arms is that free Korean FPS right? I might have to try that out some time...

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Yes, and it's sickly awesome. The only problem is that you have to "rent" all of your weapons aside from the default M4. It's a very tactical game, and unlike most FPS games out there, it's quite realistic. If you get hit, you're pretty much dead. If I tried to stop playing it a couple times a week, I'd explode.

ex nihilo nihil fit

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Sounds even better. I used to play in team America's Army battlefield tournaments and I'm a big fan of "realistic" tactical FPS games period - Rainbow 6 3, Swat 3 and 4, Ghost Recon 1, Operation Flashpoint/ArmA, etc.

Ps2:
-Persona 3

"Kezia, my darling, please never forget this world's got the substance of a frozen summer silhouette," Said my mother through lips that were cracked with love and toil before she added, "the warmest of blankets is six feet of soil"

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Great list there The-Denied-One. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is great. Kinda hard though, I need to pick it up again. I got stuck on the big frankenstein boss and haven't played much since because I've been busy.. Might need to check GameFAQs for how to beat the boss. I plan to grab a few more DS games after Christmas too.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I beat Gears of War 2 on Normal Sat night. I beat it again co-op yesterday night with Diane. Great game.

I just got Price of Persia (360) from Amazon today. It costed me only $20 after it was on sale for $40 and I had a $25 giftcard. So I guess I'll be playing it next. I plan to try to beat Beyond Good & Evil next though, it's not supposed to be too long.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

So how'd GOW2 pan out? I kept hearing it starts off feeling almost exactly like the first one but gets a bit better as it goes along. I'm definitely intrigued by BG&E after listening to the first round of backlogs on 1UP FM (which reminds me I need to catch up - haven't listened to any podcasts since I lost my car...) but I can't imagine fitting it into my backlog any time soon.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Gears of War 2 is much like Gears 1, very much what you'd expect for a sequel. It basically picks-up where Gears 1 left off as far as gameplay and just builds on that. The only thing I didn't really enjoy in Gears 2 was the tank level, but everything else was great. If you liked Gears 1 you shouldn't be disappointed in Gears 2.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

PC: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

360: Halo 3 (will get Gears of War since it's super cheap sooner than later)

PS2: Guitar Hero 3, DDR, and the like.

In the beginning The Universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.

Glad we could help contribute.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I've been playing Rogue Galaxy any time I have an hour or so to spend. I played for 5 hours yesterday, which is a major thing for me... O_O Great game.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Just beat Uncharted on Normal. Was able to beat it so quickly by playing it for 3 or 4 hours at a time for the past few days. Great game, must own for PS3.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I beat Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia today (the newest Castlevania for the DS) its a pretty good castlevania game with a good story. Had a sad ending to it =O I think i am going to play through it again on Hard Mode... or with Albus

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Finally beat that damn Warhammer RTS game so I'm back on to clearing out my Xbox 360 backlog. Next up is some Beautiful Katamari! I've also been playing the first Phoenix Wright game and Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer on my new DS.

IF (@Dicks <> 30) SET @GeorgeWashington = 0

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I downloaded the Beautiful Katamari demo and loved it immediately. I must get a copy myself.

Bought Guitar Hero World Tour. The new tap/slide feature definitely takes time to get used to. Also disappointed at the lack of unlockables. Very different from the previous games.

In the beginning The Universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Beautiful Katamari should be uber cheap now. I still need a Katamari game, and enjoyed the first one.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

I've never really played any of the Katamaris so this will be my first real attempt at one. I think we got it for 10 or 15 bucks new at TRU several months ago. It should be a welcomed change of pace for me.

Re: Now Playing: What's in your Game Console/PC?

Beutiful Katamari was only $30 when it first came out, so im sure its super cheep now
