What Are You Playing?

[MJB]

The only game I play anymore is City of Heroes/Villains. It's a great game and I recommend it highly to anyone who is a fan of super heroes.

If anyone is interested in trying out CoH/V for free send me a PM with your e-mail address. No credit card required for a 10 day free trial. :)

Out of all those untouched games you have, I recomend Viewtiful Joe.  It has great gameplay, a sense of style, and is probally the more unique of the unplayed games you own.  You may not like it that much if you're against 2-D or 2.5-D games though.

Yeah, I've heard great things about the game. But I also heard it has a high difficulty level, which I'm not that big of fan of. I like a good challenge, but games that are extremely difficult for the sake of being extremely difficult aren't something I particularly care for, which is why I never finished Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden (both of which I own, ironically, XD). Eventually though, I will give VJ a try as it does look interesting, and I haven't played a 2D game in a long time. I saw it for 8 dollars and couldn't resist. A whole bunch of games at one of my local stores is marking down games like mad to make room for the new stuff, so I took advantage. A lot of games, especially for XBox, have been marked down to as low as 5 dollars.

I'm currently still playing Kirby:Squeak Squad, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Hey Sword, is Kirby: Squeak Squad any good? From what I've seen some of the newer Kirby and Yoshi games have pretty gimmicky (with the tilting the game to control the characters and whatever) but I generally found the Kirby games fun, although they're not always very challanging. I've managed to get a D/S recently, and have been looking for games I'd be interested in.

Medieval 2: Total War, FFVtTR .... a few MAME games, but I don't think I'm supposed to talk about them on these forums.

[thalaw2]

I completed Hitman 4:Blood Money or in Chinese "Xie Qian"  and it was a blast.  That game is freakin awesome.  It is linear, but the missions are wide open and you want to replay it just to see how things unfold if you go about doing damage differently.


Now, I'm playing Tomb Raider Anniversary.  I can't believe its been more than ten years since the first one.  So far I'm still running around the manor trying to get a feel for the new Lara....it seems she can't jump as high as the fist two and they've taken away the cartwheels.  I only played TR 1 and 2 because I read reviews about the others sucking.

PC: Guild wars
      Second Life

Wii: Wii sports ( you just have t play it every now and then :P)
      Trauma Centre

PS2: ....mine isnt plugged in and if i could find my disc it would be.... of course...guitar hero 2 :P

[lugaru]

      Trauma Centre

Is that any good on the Wii? I had it on the DS but lost my DS on the subway.

Im consiering getting a wii (which I cannot forget on the subway) and Im wondering if I should pick that game up with the console.

thalaw: LOVE Hitman 4 or "el hombre calvo con pistolas" as I call it in spanish  :P

I would love to see them add about 25% of that open endedness to a punisher sequel. You know... a few creative kills and a tiny bit of optional stealth.

[Qwazy]

i havent played it too much because my tv is old and stupid, and it keeps fuzzing when im tryin to read the screen but from what i have played, its pretty fun.

the only prob ive had so far was using the defribulator.. (sp?... :P) but that could the lack of space in my room and i was tryin to lay back and play....

[Previsionary]

Wooo, ok I'll bite. I don't really play games these days because of lack of time...but when I do, these are the few I run to:

Playstation 2:

Tekken 5- love the tekken games. Easy to play and no thinking required...also, love me some tekken force (tekken 3-4).

Jak 3- Really fun game with a good story. Dialogue ain't so bad either. However...I hated driving through the tunnel full of evil fungi creatures and giant bats and...agh. :P

Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando- Very fun game and it's sorta humorous. I now understand why so many people love this series. It's sorta like crash with tons of weapons. I'll eventually finish this game one day... (im actually on the last mission.)

Final Fantasy 12- Eh...only on those days I'm really bored and want to finish some side missions/hunts. Though, it is fun fighting giant dragons with magic and swords.


Playstation:

Crash team racing: I love this game too much to just quit. I should upgrade one day, right?

Dreamcast:

Yes, I do still play my dreamcast. Shush! It was a good system before ps2, Gamecube, and Xbox came out and it had a bunch of good games that eventually ended up on those systems. It seems to be going through some sort of revival period at the moment considering it is still getting some games and Phantasy star online servers for DC were up for a small amount of time. Anyway, games...

Street fighter 3- It may not be as popular as the alpha series or even the street fighter 2 series, but it's pretty cool with awesome graphics.

Capcom vs. SNK 2- My most fave game. I can play this for quite awhile without getting bored and it has a huge cast of characters. I believe the cast list rivals MVC 2.

Marvel vs. Capcom 1 & 2: I don't play it much these days, but anytime I want super crazy action...i usually turn to these games.

Sonic Adventure 2: Not as good as the first game and some interactivity was removed, but it provides a good challenge.

Powerstone 1 & 2: Fun game...better in multiplayer. Not much too really add.

Street Fighter alpha 3: Dramatic battles = fun/challenging

Guilty Gear X: It's just fun. :P

And on really really boring days:

Seventh Cross Evolution: It's an interesting game, but it can become boring really really fast, especially in the beginning. However, I did like that I could literally create a large variety of creatures (800,000 i believe the box advertised) and have them fight bosses and such and try to survive in nature. I'll call it Spore...the prequel.

Evolution 2: Dreamcast didn't have many rpgs and this game is one of the few. Short and kinda fun...with dungeon crawling.

PC:

Lunia: I cant really comment since it's in Beta mode and I havent really had time to give it a run through...but I'm playing it, so yeah.

Update:

PC: Sam & Max Season 1. So far I love it. It's very nostalgic going back to a good point-n-click adventure and I HIGHLY thank the developers for sticking with mouse control. As much as I loved the 3D adventure games, like Escape from Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, I always hated how they did away with the mouse control. Sam & Max in 3D + mouse control = awesome. However, if it were up to me, I'd probably stick with cartoon-comic style 2D graphics, but that's just me (note: I do NOT mean cell-shaded graphics. No way). I just love the idea of Sam & Max having a similar art style as Curse of Monkey Island, my all time favorite point-n-click adventure.

Xbox: just finished Star Wars Republic Commando and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Already made a rant post about Ghoulies (thought it sucked), but SWRC was a great game. I thought it would be a typical generic SW shooter, but it actually has a lot of really good presentation value, Halo-esque gameplay, and actual characters that show personality. Sure, it makes NO sense whatsoever that your CLONE buddies all have different voices, but it doesn't matter because their different personalities actually make the game interesting. Only downside is the game is too short and ends very abruptly since it takes place between episodes 2 and 3.

I plan on playing Hitman 2 and Hitman Contracts sometime in the near future.

PS2: N/A at the moment, but I still have Viewtiful Joe, The Warriors, and GTA Vice City Stories, probably playing in that order.

[JeyNyce]

PC:
Lord of the Rings Online
BioShock
Halo 2 vista
ShadowRun

Xbox360
None - I got the 3 rings of death so now it's in TX being fixed

[murs47]

PC:
:ffvstr: - FFX has made the rumble room a blast, as well as all the content other forum members have contributed. I don't think I'll ever drop this.

MVP 2005 - I was sad to hear EA lost it's MLB license but a group of talented modders put together a MVP 2007 mod and......wow, just wow. :o

Day of Defeat - Well, I was playing this until things started becoming weird and the game started crashing so much.

Xbox 360:
Forza 2 - I'm not much of a car person, but the customization tools this game provides is spectacular. It's like Photoshop 1.0 maybe worse, but still. I actually created a pretty cool Batmobile, a silly Green Lantern paint scheme for a VW and turned a Corvette into a Flash-mobile. The racing is fun for a little bit, very little bit...keep in mind I'm not much of a car person.

Halo 2 - I know, I know. It's not a 360 title but that's what I've been playing like a mad man lately preparing for Halo 3. I think my time spent with Day of Defeat has increased my skills in Halo, I'm more then halfway through the game on Legendary mode. Before, I was just cannon fodder on that level of difficulty.

after seeing transformers again i got into again...

Currently playing
Transformers: autobot for the ds.
this game rocks, free roaming scanning vehicles and create your own transformer! :thumbup:
this game is solid.

[SouperIan]

This weekend, I'm playing the Guild Wars: Eye of the North preview.

I'm also playing through Deus Ex again.

[bat1987]

Haven`t played anything new in a while, but I can always get back to free roam games I played before: Ultimate spider-man, GTA-San Andreas etc., oh and rumble room in  :ffvstr: of course.

[Zippo]

I just picked up Metroid Prime 3 for Wii. It's by far the best of the series as of yet, and has amazing FPS controls, comparible to a mouse/keyboard setup. It's a beautiful game to boot!

[BatWing]

oh man i got into a greatest game ever for pc....Gunz online

[Juanjete]

Bioshock
Oblivion
and  :ffvstr:

[Midnight]

Counter Strike.

[XLR8er]

halo and  :ffvstr:

[Rick Battlemage]

Gamecube:
Skies of Arcadia Legends, I recently picked it up and from what I've played it's pretty good (don't mind the fact that it's been released for years now :P)

Wii:
Mario Strikers Charged, It's a fun game... I suck at it though.
Transformers the Game: it's okay-ish...

DS:
Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, I love this game. Farming and combat works somehow.
Drawn to Life, This really is a cool game and I hope they'll make more games like this, drawing your own hero is really cool  ^_^

[BatWing]

playin rumble fighter and pokemon diamond...........................and ff12 revenant wings.

[MJB]

Holy necro-bump Batman!

Fine then, I'll update my list. Currently I just renewed my CoH/V account for another month. Been playing loads of Call of Duty 4 on my PS3. Every so often I'll plug in Soul Calibur 4 and swing some swords around but mostly it's just CoD4.

-MJB

[Ares_God_of_War]

PC: Spore and soon WotLK
X-Box 360: Mass Effect

[Toxic_J]

I'm still playing Guildwars and some Team Fortress 2 on the pc, Mass effect and GTA 4 on the 360.

[NomadX]

I haven't played Guild Wars in forever but I can't wait to get my new PC so I can do the M.O.X. quest. Currently I got a slew of PS3 games I have yet to finish. I really need to stop buying games until I get through them.

[Xenolith]

Just bought Warhammer Age of Reckoning. 

[Outcast]

I really need to stop buying games until I get through them.

Your not the only one.   :wacko:

So many unfinished games.... :doh:....so little time.. :P

[thalaw2]

I found out that X-Com: UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown is now freeware so I've been playing that.  It deserves all of it's recognition as one of the greatest games of all time.   I haven't played in years so there was a lot to relearn.

[daerdevil]

Just Rock Band 2 and the occasional Bionic Commando: Rearmed.
