Whatcha playin?

Just picked up Wipeout Pulse for PSP and Eye of Judgment for PS3.

EoJ is a pleasant surprise. I got it for my son because, while he likes to collect Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, he doesn't really get how to play a TCG [He's 6]. I'm an old guy [46] and missed the TCG explosion, so this is an easy way for both of us to learn the nuances and strategy without having to keep track of the stats during battles. The games are over pretty quickly [20 minutes or so], but I imagine that will change as we uncover the depth in the cards.
At $70 it seems like a steal - $40 for the Eye, a $15 starter deck and a $4 booster pack, leaving $11 for the game software. Of course, we're definitely going to have to grab some Series 1 booster packs so we each have a full deck, and then Series 2 comes out next month. Uh-oh!:D

Anyway, this game is such a blast to play that I haven't cracked the wrap on Pulse [the game I was most excited to pick up]. Highly recommended, even if you typically don't play TCGs.
 
i'm still playing super mario galaxy. :eek: i collected 106 stars the first week i got it, and a couple months later i'm at 110. i've kind of given up on the other ten, and i'm reluctant to start another game before finishing this one. wanting to start metroid or zelda (never got around to it).

meanwhile, i'm also playing rock band, and i'm eagerly waiting for super street fighter ii turbo hd remix and sf4, though the wait will be excruciatingly long. :(
 
Wii- Working towards the inconceivable 240 Mario Galaxy stars (Luigi cosmic races are hard). Hope to get Zak and Wiki soon too.

PS3- Resistance. Yeah, i know. I've got catching up to do on this system.
 
Got a Wii last weekend as a gift... my only next-gen console...

Playing Resident Evil 4 and Zelda... gonna pick up Super Mario and Metroid in the next week or so :cool:
 
Call of Duty 4 on 360.

Just bought Vista and The Orange Box, which I'm going to be playing with on the Mac Pro. TF2 and Portal specifically.
 
My copy of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue finally turned up from Hong Kong (YesAsia really do have the worst service ever) after 2 MONTHS!

So you can add that to my earlier list of games I'm playing.

I'm really trying to like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue but like every other Gran Turismo I've played I just find it boring. Oh well I may have to chuck it on eBay sooner rather than later.

why did you fork out $50 for the prologue if you find them boring? :confused:

Oh, I'll add Ico to my list. I played it many moons ago but never bought it when I saw it at Costco for $15... d'oh! Now it cost me a cool $35 but whatever, it's worth it :D

I'm disappointed in the lack of patapon love around here :(...
 
I haven't played anything for the last few weeks except some FIFA. My last game I got into was Assassin's Creed. I really liked it, even though it did get a bit repetitive after a while. I still enjoyed it though. It was the first game in a way that I played that only had a single player mode. It was nice to immerse myself in the single player and not have to rush through just so I can get to the multiplayer. Plus it was only $40.

My copy of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was free*. This is the only reason I have it, Gran Turismo has never been a series that grabbed my attention in anyway.

* free as in I had heaps of credit/coupons with YesAsia and nothing else interested me.

Because it isn't as good as DMC 1,2 or 3

Because it doesn't feel a complete whole. Locations & Bosses feel utterly random. It's like your playing a remix game with everything mixed up because the level designers decided to throw continuity out of the window.

Because it relies to heavy on amazing looking cut-scenes, that despite being pretty I can't play

Because puzzle elements are so dumbed down that an amoebae would find them a breeze

Because all the bosses play out pretty much identically

Because at 7 hours its also possibly the shortest of all the devil may cry games

Because the few bits where you actually play dante are so mediocre you end up wishing your were back with nero

Because its so unbelievably linear

Because despite grand looking exteriors - they are actually very small areas with very little places to explore

Because the leveling up system is pretty much redundant and you may as well leave it on auto because it makes little difference to the final play experience

Because despite a harder difficulty level there is little incentive to play it again

Because nearly 8-9 years on in a game franchises IP.. It would be nice for developers to give us some new ideas, rather than watering down the existing ones.

Because despite pretty graphics it still boils down to Running from room to room via tiny corridor, enter room and whoosh! red door lock, kill few baddies, chop chop, red door lock explode, run from room to room via tiny corridor, enter................ ad nauseam



Most importantly..... Devil May Cry 4 is a like a summer movie sequel. Full of action, full of fancy special effects and awful acting, and utterly predictable... But despite that it's is mindless fun..

But utterly shallow, and despite it jovial nature - its is far from approaching a masterpiece or a classic.


The hack and slash game has moved on. The hack and slash game can have a stronger nature, a clear defined level design, a game that doesn't feel random, and one that includes enemies, bosses and puzzles which all gel together to make a strong whole.

God of War 2 - does everything so much better than DMC4 that it in comparison simply fails to it's last gen brethren.

I agree with you on that one, DMC4 is what im playing right now and the puzzles are incredibly easy. For instance the part where you have to get the statue of you to the other side? Wow role a die and play a game whoopie, kill some monsters oh great. It's much to simple albeit fun. I can't wait for the next God of War to come out.

Anyway I'm currently playing COD4 and DMC4 on my PS3. Also have a bit of EVE trial going on on my macbook pro.
 
For The 360: GOW, Ass Creed, COD4 and Bioshock.

Still have yet to sit down and complete bioshock, which is sad. I keep throwing GOW in. Just got AssCreed and COD4 today and both are very awesome.

Like any other Wipeout, it's all in getting the tracks memorized. Looks a little better than Pure to me, but that might be more from wishful thinking than reality.:)
The game supports up to 8 players on-line, a mode which I haven't yet tried and won't until I have gotten through a couple of grids and learned some of the tracks well enough to not completely embarrass myself.:D

So I got a copy and I'm liking it a lot...the online is pretty nice and a lot of people are on playing(believe me they are good) I'm not the best at Wipeout but its still fun.

Patapon turned out to be harder than I thought it was....I'm actually stuck and my army is quite strong...stupid fire breathing sandworm thing!:mad:

Super Smash Melee, honing my skills again for Brawl :-D

Same here- I started playing Melee like nuts and even joined the competitive crowd just to get ready for Brawl. But now the competitive guys actually HAVE Brawl and I've been playing with them...and it's REALLY different. That Melee practice might go right out the window :eek:

All I need is my Giggapuff super smash! :D
 
Finished Zelda and the Phantom Hourglass (DS) this week, and was hoping to have a weekend with the new Advance Wars as g/f is away. Sadly (and hugely annoyingly) it hasn't arrived yet. I think I may have to go back to Final Fantasy VI (GBA) until it does, but I haven't played it in sooo long, I've completely forgotten what on earth is going on:confused:
