I'm playing Wolf Team. Quite fun, 'tis a downloadable game from softnyx.

OddYouko 07-14-2009 12:18 PM

As of right now. Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken4, Tekken5, Oddworld Abe's Oddysee, and Spyro Dawn of the Dragon.

I'm patiently waiting for Tekken6 Bloodline Rebellion to come out this Oct. :D

I bought Battlefield 1943 yesterday. It's a lot of fun for only being fifteen dollars.

I've been waiting to find out if someone I know has this. I don't want to buy it and play with random Xbox dicks. I prefer the Xbox dicks I'm familiar with.

OANST 07-15-2009 07:48 AM

It can be pretty frustrating at times. Mostly because everyone else is better than me. Also, it seems to like spawning me two feet in front of enemy tanks. Like seven times in a row. Spawn, die. Spawn, die. Spawn, die.

On the other hand, I will occasionally find a really good sniping spot and just fuck people up for an entire match. It's also very satisfying to knock planes out of the sky with the anti-aircraft gun.

Mac Sirloin 07-15-2009 01:56 PM

When I played the trial I'd stand behind teammates peaking out of corners and get them shot.

Alcar 07-15-2009 04:41 PM

Before I lost my iPhone, I was playing EDGE.

Cool game. Getting the S+ score on most levels was very frustrating.

Playing classic games nowadays. Tomb Raider III at the moment, aiming for all secrets.

mr.abe 07-15-2009 04:47 PM

i`m playing as scorpion in mortal kombat deception for xbox

Leto 07-16-2009 12:14 AM

Fable 2.

it's complete casual gaming mindless fun.

Phylum 07-16-2009 12:47 AM

Bought the Leisure Suit Larry collection the other day.

I'm really getting pissed off at the questions before Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards.

Havoc 07-16-2009 10:31 AM

Starting with Prototype in a few minutes, I will let you know how it is.

Mac Sirloin 07-16-2009 02:26 PM

Havoc, would it be worth buying for about half the price new, or should I just wait a few months?

Leto 07-16-2009 11:27 PM

definitely wait a few months, I found it pretty boring and stale. it was crackdown x gta + a little bit of spiderman. i liked crackdown and gta to an extent, but I felt like I'd played this formula once too many times before

Strike Witch 07-17-2009 01:43 AM

Completed the Mobile Suit Gallery for Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2. Now all I need to do is find all the parts =/

It's by the same people who made Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, though, and I fucking LOVE that game.

Crashpunk 07-17-2009 12:40 PM

I'm Hooked on Metal Slug (Best arcade game EVER)

Havoc 07-17-2009 04:43 PM

Prototype is a very awesome game if you like the sandbox genre. You can do pretty much whatever you like, the city is your playground. I haven't finished the game yet but a few things I've noticed is that sometimes it's not entirely clear what to do. You just get a one line mission note and have to figure the rest out for yourself (which I don't mind, but I've gotten a little spoiled in finding out things on my own since every game in the last 10 years has been pointing out every single detail with big red arrows). Also there are a lot of sidetrack things to do like 'events' and a sort of territorial minigame that goes on during the game which you can sort of influence.

I actually got this game because I was at this game store where you can testplay any game you wish (this place is so awesome, every city in the world should have a store like this). So I played the first level for about 15 minutes and thought the game was good enough to give a try so I decided to buy it. Then the store clerk says that he'll check if he has it second hand (this store also has a very nifty system for buying and selling used games) which he had, so I only payed about half price for it as well.

Mac Sirloin 07-17-2009 10:21 PM

That's what I'm going to do.

Go shoe shopping? Form a significant emotional relationship? Not be a mutated fuck?

Sandbox my prostate, unless you're definition of 'sandbox' is as limited as "be able to run around a fucking city".

Havoc 07-20-2009 05:34 AM

My definition of sandbox is being able to do what you want, when you want to do it. You're not forced to do a mission one particular way, you can complete it any way you like, as long as it gets done. You can punch that leader hunter with your bare fists for 10 hours if you want, it still gets the job done.

Just because GTA set the standard for sandbox games doesn't mean every game has to live up to the shoe shopping and the bowling alleys gameplay. Games are different within each genre.

As for Prototype, that last bossfight was fucking annoying. I got impaled on that devastator like 17 times >_<

Fuzzle King 07-20-2009 12:43 PM

The Elizabeth Greene boss had me frustrated for ages.

Havoc 07-20-2009 12:53 PM

Yeah that one sucked. I just kept stealing tanks from the military and shot her until the hunters tore me apart.

Fuzzle King 07-21-2009 08:25 AM

I kept on getting caught out when she(actually,it) does this screaming thing and if you go near it it kills you, Bloody annoying.

OANST 07-23-2009 07:42 AM

I bought 'Splosion Man on Live Arcade yesterday. It's made by the same guys that made The Maw, and it's a lot of fucking fun. It reminds me of N+ a bit (although, it is a lot less difficult), but there aren't a ton of similarities. The multiplayer is a lot of fun, as well.

Wings of Fire 07-23-2009 09:00 AM

How many points is it? If it's 800 I might buy it.

Mac Sirloin 07-23-2009 09:53 AM

It's 800 points that I don't have. The trial for that game is fun as hell. You can play it so absentmindedly.

OANST 07-23-2009 10:09 AM

800.

It's funny, too. If you die a certain number of times in a level it lets you use the "Way of the Coward" option and skip it. However, you have to wear a dress in the next level.

Mac Sirloin 07-23-2009 10:11 AM

Which is both hilarious, convenient, and awesome.

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO SHITTY WITH MONEY GOD DAMN IT.

Wings of Fire 07-23-2009 10:25 AM

I'm totally buying this tonight.

OANST 07-23-2009 11:20 AM

Apparently there is a slight problem with the multiplayer, but they intend to patch it soon.

Xavier 07-25-2009 02:04 PM

No money to spend on game at the moment so I'm being a masochist and decided to hunt every flag in Assassins' Creed, I've already completed Masyaf and Damas.

OANST 07-27-2009 07:50 AM

I beat 'Splosion Man yesterday. The difficulty definitely ramps up as you get further in the game, but it never reaches N+ levels of frustration. And the ending is fucking awesome. It has the best songs made for a game since Portal.

However, hardcore mode gets unlocked after beating it, and that is definitely throw your controller at the wall frustrating. It's all the same levels, but they have taken out all of the checkpoints and everything kills you in one hit. I am currently stuck on the 10th level. I finally got too frustrated to continue at about 1:00 a.m. last night.

At any rate, if you have the points, buy it. These people deserve your money.

Chubfish 07-27-2009 08:19 AM

Punchout for the Wii is really fun, I got past Super Macho Man (who is now my favourite person to fight). Gave up after that...also videos (though this time, not mine...)



Also if you can't be bothered watching the whole fight skip to 3 minutes in.

Mac Sirloin 07-27-2009 08:34 AM

Playing an assortment of games right now, most of all Beautiful Katamari. I tried explaining it to my mom but she just kind of wandered away mumbling.

Also Universe at War, a 360 port of an RTS. It seems okay so far, not that I have a solid frame of reference. I always enjoy the actual construction of facilities and bases more than the actual combat in these type of games, though.

Oh, and the units you assign to build things are really ambiguously gay. I have no idea why.


Also replaying Half Life 2, at first just to get the Zombie Chopper achievement, but now I figure I'll finish the game since I haven't played it in awhile.

Chubfish 07-27-2009 08:53 AM

Kastere get Gmod or something so i can play that with you.

Mac Sirloin 07-27-2009 08:56 AM

I need a better computer.

Maybe not, actually.

Can GMOD run efficiently on a PC that can (possible just barely) run HL2? I'd have no problem buying Gmod if that's the case.

I could probably have 'Splosion Man sometime soon.

Yeah. I have it. Good game.


Oh, and here is one of the later 'Splosion Man levels.


Kareel 07-27-2009 04:13 PM

I just bought The Conduit today and I must say it's pretty impressive for a Wii game.

OANST 07-30-2009 01:17 PM

Are you all sick of hearing me talk about 'Splosion Man, yet? Well, too fucking bad.

They have a contest going to see who can get the best time in level 3-8. The winner will receive a 'Splosion Man statue and poster.

At first, I was excited. So, I started working on that level. And I mean fucking working on it. I would play that same level for three to four hours straight some nights. But the best I could get was 3:03. Now, there were thousands of people over that time, but still about twenty five who were under it. And they were like thirty seconds under it.

Until yesterday. I had some revelations about the level, and got my time to 2:38. I'm pretty sure that I can shave ten to fifteen seconds off that, as well. I think I can win the contest.
