Gran Turismo 3: A Spec and a bit of Sonic CD. At the moment until Soul Calibur 3 comes and my little world is whole again. 🙂

Yeah, I'm not sure what he means by that either - hopefully NOT that he's just discovering the joy of AV cables.

XDXD! Hehe..well i'm an old-fashioned kind of guy and I was always so used to using the VCR. I noticed my TV had the ports for the components I just never tried them. Stop making fun of me. *wines*

Mario Pinball Land!! ^^;

Due to certain unexpected circumstances, I have recently acquired Star Wars Battlefront II (PS2). w00t. Haven't played it much yet, but I'm liking what I've seen so far (with the exception of this version's splitscreen play when compared to the previous game). Currently playing through the Rise of the Empire campaign, which I'm liking a bit more than the single player modes of the previous game. Storyline seems fairly interesting so far, and the mission based play style is pretty fun, definitely a nice new addition to the normal style of the previous game (which I also still like quite a bit).

So I expect I'll be playing this for a while.

Stuck on Destiny Island in Chain Of Memories. Keeping the DS occupied until I recieve Rush next Friday. *Counting the days*

Also replaying the PS2 KH game for nostalgia and the fact that KH2's promo is making me salivate.

Still playing Battlefront II, although I've been getting the urge to play Mega Man X Command Mission again soon if I can pull myself away eventually. Just finished the Rise of the Empire campaign, which was definitely a lot of fun. Story was better than I expected, and I found it pretty interesting seeing things from the other side's perspective for a change. (which is one of the reasons I enjoyed reading this quite a bit) My only complaint is that you can't go back and replay specific missions in the campaign after completing it, like you could with the historical campaign in the original Battlefront. I suppose I could always keep game saves for specific missions, but I don't know if I want to waste the memory card space for that. Anyway, I'm probably going to mess with the instant action mode a bit now (I've got me some Ewok huntin' to do, heh), and then there's still the revamped Galactic Conquest mode that I haven't tried yet. w00t.

Since Galaxies is now the worlds first MMOFPS...
What about that one planetside game?

Playing FEAR and wondering what the hell everyone was getting so jacked up about. The graphics aren't a significant improvement over Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, the gameplay is pretty standard (seriously, bullet-time doesn't work anymore except in Max Payne), the story is gut-wrenchingly derivative, and the aural presentation doesn't come anywhere close to Call of Duty 2. And would anyone care to explain to me what exactly makes this game "disturbing"? How exactly does this "get under your skin"? The only thing I find even remotely scary was the occasional materialization of the little girl when I turn around, whose sheer appearance makes my flesh crawl for some reason. Other than that, however, I don't know what makes slow-moving zombies flitting just out of sight any more scary than Doom 3's heart attack-inducing demons.

On the bright side, I did get a new computer. So at least it runs at a playable level, which is more than I can say about my old PC.

Call of Duty 2 win's my most-coveted Whicked Sick Game of the Year Award (2005)

And I think that's all that needs to be said.

Anyone here who like shooters or war games go buy it. now. NOW.

Too bad I dl'd it, cuz online seems badass.

I've suddenly fallen in love with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. We play it all the time at my mate Tom's, and @#%$ gets pretty hectic with 9 laps of Bowser Castle, 150cc with Frantic items. However, it's Baby Park that separates the men from the boys; it's serious business and no mistake.

Preaching to teh choir brudda!

Super Mario RPG, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Super Mario World 2, Super Mario Sunshine, the original Sonics on my Genesis, and, of course, Halo 2 and lots of Smash Bros. Melee.

Shoot man, I love Baby Park. I wouldn't have thought that racing around in tiny circles on the smalles Mario Kart track ever would have even been fun, but it's seriously crazy when you get eight racers in there and the shells and bananas start flying in that tiny space. One of the best tracks in the game.

So....
My insitinctive distrust of the overly-enthusiastic reviews (as with God of War) is actually right?
As soon as I read "lack of variety in level design"... my interest in the game fell dramatically, no matter how good the combat was meant to be.

(Is still playing Doom 3, though the end is in sight. Oh, and Darwinia)

Just got Paper Mario back off my mate, so I'll be starting a new file on that today. Paper Mario + cup of tea FTW.

Pokmon Mysterious Dungeon Red >_>

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

...now, who didn't see this one coming? :p

Katamari Damacy.

It's owning my life right now. I cannot stop playing.

Currently alternating between Mario Kart Double Dash and Soul Calibur II (for GameCube) to keep me entertained until I can pick up Need for Speed Most Wanted for GameCube tomorrow (while also getting rid of a stack of games I don't want anymore at the same time, hopefully saving a little money in the process). I've tried the PC version a little and from what I've seen of it so far, it looks like it has multiple similarities to the Underground series (which I thoroughly detest), but at the same time seems to have greatly improved on the things I like about NFS: Hot Pursuit II for PS2 (still my favorite racing game currently) enough that it's worth getting. I still wish they'd make a Hot Pursuit 3 (that has no resemblance to the Underground series), but this is probably the closest I'll get any time soon, and it looks good enough that I'll be able to deal with what I don't like. (and at least the videos are skippable)

*makes an impolite gesture at EA for taunting me by improving on my favorite racing game and then combining it with the things I so deeply hate about the Underground series*

What am I playing now?
Far too much.

Xenosaga Ep. 1: I got disgusted with the game after I got 5 minutes of TRUE gameplay (AKA fighting) followed by about 30 minutes of walking around and confusing as hell cutscenes. I'll get back to it eventually.

Final Fantasy 6: On Final Fantasy Anthologies (I believe, maybe Final Fantasy Chronicles), I started playing, and then I think I got Radiata Stories, and seeing as I hadn't got much into the story, it sorta got pushed from my mind.

Mario Kart DS: GAH! I...want...ONLINE! I need a wireless router, I really don't want to buy the USB thing. Fun game though, even single player. Finally, Bots in Battle Mode!

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow: Trying to get the Chaos Ring now (100% Soul Completion), I don't usually go for that type of thing, but I got it in Aria, want to get it again. Besides, it makes Boss Rush Mode Ridiculously easy. But I beat the game.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence: Haven't started playing yet, but I was in the mood for the new one, but refused to pay the money for it. I don't know why, I mean, I'm not going to play it now BECAUSE I bought something full price and am playing it now...

...Shadow the Hedgehog: All you nay-sayers, yeah, its not perfect, but its lots of fun, IMO. A ridiculous amount of cheap deaths, and for the FIRST time in a 3D sonic game I think there is camera problems (No, the Adventures and Heroes cameras worked fine for me...) I've beat one path, Neutral Path, Evil ending (Ponder the strangeness of that for a second...).

Final Fantasy XII (Demo): Was playing StH, so didn't get it in yet, but I will eventually, seeing as my frieend basically said take it, because he doesn't want tyhe abomination that is the crappy fighting system of FF XII in his possesion. And it seems that his views are not unique. I'm bracing myself for the worst...

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2: I LOVE DDR! I LOVE DDR! I LO...I think you get the picture. Just unlocked the last song last night, got Endless mode today, so I'll be on that for a bit. I really need to get on more often, gotta RELOSE the weight from it again. Knocked off all the grades on beginner lower than A that my dad accumulated, getting a few more X-Missions in Dance Master Mode, and trying a few more heavies, and actually getting a few more As and Bs. I hate Afronova's Challenge Remix! Its the only Challenge Only Song I can't pass (most, or maybe all, are Bs, but Afronova is an E).

Metroid Prime: I sold it awhile ago, when I was a bit younger and frustrated that I couldn't figure out to do inside Magmoor Caverns, so I'm starting it over. The saddest part: I had a strategy guide, lol.

Chrono Trigger: When my friend gave me the FF XII demo he also gave me FF Chronicles (Or Anthologies, whatever, we bought them both jointly) so I'll start that soon.

.Hack//Infection: Not started yet, nor will it be started in a LONG time. I don't have TIME.

Wow, no wonder my grades went down. I am juggling too much stuff, I really gotta cut down on my gaming...

Hmm.... Picked up SA2:B again now that we've replaced the game. 54 emblems into it which isn't that bad, considering I've only had about 5 hours to play total, and a good chunk of that was raising my lovely Chao. ^^ Also trying Sonic Advance for the second time (first time I played when it first came out, and absolutely hated it. Now it's pretty cool. **shrug**)

Non-Sonic games... Mario Kart: Double Dash has proven to be a fun way to waste time and scream obscenities at the TV. ^^

Otherwise, been playing lots and lots of Minesweeper. Wanna talk about an addicting game? **collapses** I feel stupid 'cause I've been trying for ages, yet can't beat expert mode. ;.;

~Shadowed Spirit Sage

Jak X. So far, it's a good game, but so far, it still does not compare to Crash Team Racing, a racing game that's been my fave racing game since it's release.
~Neo

Need for Speed Most Wanted for GC is now in my possession, so I expect I'll be playing it for a while. The graphics seem a little weak at first after having only played the PC version prior to this (which at least makes me feel a little better about my PC and video card, heh), but it still looks really nice. Definitely glad I bought it for the GameCube, since from what I've heard it doesn't look quite as good on the PS2, and I'm finding the analog L/R buttons to be really nice for racing. This is my first racing game for the GC (not counting Mario Kart), so I've previously always used the right analog stick on the PS2 for gas/brake (which I still like quite a bit). I'd heard of racing games using the analog triggers on the GC (and the Xbox) and never thought I'd like that much, but so far I'm actually liking it better than a dual analog stick control scheme. Kind of makes me wish Midnight Club 3 had been released for the GameCube as well... (not that I don't like the PS2 version)

Getting the old Shadow and Rush on the spin, slowly bleeding the life out of them to last me a good 5/6 weeks. Also spending alot of time nursing Riku through Chain of Memories.

Am probably going to avoid gaming for a while until Zelda/KH2 unless I have a lapse and buy RE4.

Not going to bother getting (S)A Ranks for either Rush or Shadow, not enough reward.

The 3rd Calibur of the Soul variety for me. Got all the Standard characters. So far I have: Arthur, Hwang, Li Long, Greed, Miser, Revenant and Luna or the extra characters. Can I just say that if you want eye candy get this game quite possibly the most beautiful game ever.

That will keep me to Xmas.

Well, you might have to change that to just KH2. According to my recent issue of Game Informer, in the rumors column, it says they have a source telling them that TLoz:TP might become a Revo title. And if that happens, I might have to kill Nintendo for denying my increasingly dusty GCN usage. (Seriously, before ShtH I haven't used it in forever, my PS2 has been having all the fun. (DDREX2!!!))

Uh, no, it's still a GC title... I wouldn't trust that kind of rumor, frankly. Not yet at least.

Anyway, I made one of the most freakish possible golfers in Tiger Woods. Looked frightfully real, too, until I got him onto the actual set.

If the new Zelda became a Revolution title, I would go 100% insane... o_< That was one of the primary reasons behind my purchase of a GameCube... (although I've grown to like it quite a bit regardless, and usually try to get the GC version of games now when possible)

Back on topic, I'm still hooked on NFS Most Wanted. I was already finding it incredibly fun to use a normal looking car to blow away some punk in a ridiculous looking thing, but I've found that it's even more fun when you win the pink slip to their car, as I can then promptly take it to a shop and gleefully rip off the body kits, oversized spoiler, vinyls, decals, etc., and restore it to it's original beauty. Also saves money when it's a car I was already planning to buy. *hugs red Supra* It's almost like sweet revenge after the Underground series. Kinda of like the joy of shooting Ewoks and Gungans in the Star Wars Battlefront series. ">

*runs off cackling evilly*

After plugging about 10 hours into Shadow(4 endings), it made enticed to play games I actually enjoyed way back when. So I decided to play some Midnight Club 3(online) and Capcom vs. SNK 2. My ole' faithfuls.

Right now I'm playing Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. I love the story, and I like the gameplay. <3 @ Albel's sadisticness and arrogance
Eventually, I'll get to .hack//Mutation. Eventually...
Recently, the PS2 has been my friend.

EDIT: I've been gone for a while, homework, was lazy, the PS2 has been sucking up all my time, and the whatnot. That's where I was. Of course, I could tell you all that I fell into a black hole and narrowly escaped a stabby death, and the time was all funny, but that would be a lie, and TUL doesn't lie Oops, sorry for the Off-Topicness.

Hiya, TUL, haven't seen you around lately .

Anyway, along with City of Heroes, two more games have entered my life, Soul Calibur 3 and Mario Kart DS.

Both are absolutely superb, Soul Calibur continues to test my skill with Mitsurugi while Mario Kart may well be the most fun I've had on a handheld or home console in years ^^.

Yea TUL where ya been? Oh and still playing MC3 online ^__^.

Soul Calibur 3. o_O Got all the characters now, but cannot freakin beat the last enemy in Chronicles for love or moneys...

Got 5 endings in Shadow, currently aiming for the other 5 and then the final ending.

Dystopia. <3

Yeah, welcome back, TUL.
Finally finished Doom 3. Pausing for breath before I gear up for RE4.

Tales of Symphonia, when I should be doing a bibliography for English. Meh.

Isn't the Revo supposed to be backwards compatable, so buying a Revo would let you play Zelda either way?

Anywho, I finished Shadow and Rush. Replaying Rush at my leisure, but currently focusing on unlocking Black Symbiote Suit for Ultimate Spider-Man and getting some more kicks out of MGS3. With the power of insanely huge crossover cable, I can play and be online at the same time at any time

Yeah, you'll be able to play Zelda on disc or download it.

Still ploughing my way through Soul Calibur 3. 30 Weapons left and I beat Night Terror. A heck of a lot of stuff to buy for Create a Soul though. On Last Cronicle now and its hard.

I'm about to reward myself with some super sweet fantasy mecha action. VOOT! That's all. ^____^

I've been playing Megaman X8 and Virtua Fighter 4 for a while now. My Gamecube's getting some attention, along with my 22(!) genesis games that I currently own.

-"AREA RESTRICTED. ALL NOOB INTRUDERS 2 B HAXORED BY US L33T HAMM3R BROZ.!"
-"WE R TEH SHROOB ALLIES. WE ROXOR U AND THEN ROFL. THEN U AM CRY."
-"WE RECEIVE ORDERS THRU ANTENNAS ON THESE L33T HELMES. THEY R HOTNESS."
-"WE MUST OBEY ALL ORDERS. WE LIKE 2 PWN NOOBS 4 TEH MASTER SHROOBZORZ."
-"U = NOOBS. BROZ. = L33T. PREPARE 4 TOTAL PWNAGE. WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!."

oO; <- **me, as older Bros. are snorted and taken away leaving the babies to fend for themselves**

-"NOT ALL NOOBS ARE PWNED, CONTINUE PWNERSHIP UNTIL ALL NOOBS ARE PWNED"

**boss battle**

And so, Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time takes a disturbing turn.

(cackles) Funny.

(waiting until Christmas; plays Halo 2 and Tetris to bide his time)
