I also have P.B Winterbottom, but it didn't hold my attention for very long.

***Nate*** · #**1322** 04-23-2010, 05:46 AM

Given that it only cost $5, that's fine by me.

although the way my backlog is going at the moment I'll probably only end up playing them in 2015.

I know the feeling. At any given time 2 of 4 of my local game stores will be having some kind of sale on old PS2 games. I managed to get 3 games for $30 in a 2 for 1 sale (don't ask, it's a tad complex).

I'm currently playing:

God of War 3 (got all the godly possessions first playthrough, which I haven't finished yet...)

Sly 2 (98%, just need the last mission. I'll do that tomorrow)

Rayman: Revolution (played minimally, as my attention has gone into sly 2)

Kingdom Hearts (Starting tomorrow)

Jade Cocoon 2 (whenever I'm bothered. DAMN YOU WU!)

I also got Ratchet and Clank a few months ago, but I'm yet to start it. I mainly got it so I had the satisfaction of owning all canon Ratchet games.

EDIT: Quake Live and Adrenaline for online.

This is balanced (erm...) with homework, and I'm quite impressed...

Machinarium was great... but I can't see the point of replaying it in a near future

Just played the demo of Beat Hazard and was left with a resounding sense of mehness. I'm not a huge fan of Asteroid-style shooter games (there's probably a proper genre name that I don't know, but whatever) to begin with, but the link between music and gameplay seems to be fairly tenuous; it seems to only be +volume = +weapons and slightly +enemies. On the other hand, there are plenty of moments of low volume where there are tonnes of enemies but my weapons don't do shit. Also moments where the music is rhythmic and intense but comparitively quiet, so the game just decides to not do shit. I'm gonna stick to Audiosurf, thanks.

Thiiis. Except I'm a hardcore fan of top-down flight shooters, so the mehity was even more worrying to me.

Daxter King · #**1326** 04-23-2010, 05:03 PM

Beat Hazard seemed pretty mediocre to me. Audiosurf is much better if you want a game that plays your music.

Gettin my 360 back today(hopefully) probably gonna play the shit out of a bunch of stuff. Still on the fence for the L4D2 DLC.

***Xavier*** · #**1327** 04-29-2010, 11:53 PM

Got 1000/1000 on Bayonetta...

Moving on to Conviction, this game is awesome, even if the story is a bit so-so

Hobo · #**1328** 04-30-2010, 06:49 AM

Super Street Fighter IV. Shit so fucking good.

Grieva · #**1329** 04-30-2010, 10:58 AM

MGS: Peace Walker demo. Seriously, a demo is my main game at the moment, probably put in 10+ hours already, it's just that awesome.

Havoc · #**1330** 05-01-2010, 02:26 AM

Playing the shit out of TF2 lately. Good times...

OANST · #**1331** 05-01-2010, 06:50 AM

I popped in Banjo Kazooie Nuts N Bolts yesterday and checked the multiplayer on a whim. As it turns out, people are actually playing it again, and the multiplayer is fucking awesome. I played it for about 2 hours yesterday, and never had trouble finding a match.

It's on, bitch.

Josh · #**1334** 05-01-2010, 08:55 AM

I have found my old copy of American McGee's Scrapland. It works on my 360, one of few of my awesome old games that do! Whee!

Ridg3 · #**1335** 05-01-2010, 09:04 AM

I just blew the dust off Stubb's the Zombie...I forgot how much fun that game was.

abe619 · #**1336** 05-01-2010, 01:42 PM

currently doing mirror's edge, what an awesome game.

Phylum · #**1337** 05-01-2010, 11:57 PM

Completing all the Master Thief Sprints in Sly Raccoon. Slowly.

Jordan · #**1338** 05-03-2010, 10:40 AM

Found a Resident Evil 3 disc at home. I don't even know how I got it. It's pretty fun, actually. The controls are really hard to get used to though.

OANST · #**1339** 05-03-2010, 10:52 AM

Playing Nuts N Bolts. I am so glad that I found out that people are using the multiplayer. It's soooo good.

I'm not very good at that mission, prefer the more stealthy ones

PalezQkkeli · #**1343** 05-06-2010, 05:15 AM

Right now I'm playing Prototype and Starcraft I. I decided I won't even touch Starcraft II until I played the first one through again..

OANST · #**1344** 05-06-2010, 06:34 AM

I'm playing a budget title called Deadly Premonition. The reviews for the game are either extremely negative or extremely positive. With good reason. The graphics are terrible. The outdoor scenes look like a poorly made PS2 game, while the indoor scenes look like a pretty decently made PS2 game. The controls are a bit clunky, but they aren't too bad. Apart from that the game is fantastic, though.

The dialogue is unbelievably fun to listen to. I drove around in the car for like an hour last night just pressing the button that releases the main character's monologues. He is fucking insane. The first dialogue that you hear from him is a phone conversation where he seems to be talking about a gay couple that he knows. He keeps going on about their interdependency, and how yeah, one of them is a sadist who does terrible things to the other, but that's because that's what Jerry needs. Jerry is only happy when these things are being done to him. You then realize that he is discussing Tom and Jerry. And then you have lines like "Look at you in your uniform eating that T-Bone Steak with no makeup".

The story is basically Twin Peaks. Young beautiful girl is murdered in small town, and you're the FBI agent sent to unravel the mystery. It's exceptionally well told, though. And for 20 dollars new you really can't go wrong. I recommend it.

Amakir · #**1345** 05-06-2010, 07:10 AM

Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and as always some Nethack.

Hazel-Rah · #**1346** 05-06-2010, 11:20 AM

Bioshock 2, I bought about a week ago and haven't played in a few days but I love it! It's so much better than the first one, it's the little things mostly like: projectile based hack device, a mining drill as a melee weapon instead of a puny wrench that can't even hurt a big daddy, multi-player even if it isn't the best, but most of all it's more cinematic with its cutscenes which are all amazing srsly!

Also idk what people are complaining about Sophia Lamb is every bit as interesting as Andrew Ryan was in the first game imo.

MeechMunchie · #**1347** 05-06-2010, 11:24 AM

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Fuck, that hotel raid scene is making me all twitchy.

Everything that you wrote here is fucking heresy. Disgusting, ridiculous heresy.

Mac Sirloin · #**1349** 05-06-2010, 02:25 PM

Got Matt Hazard last night, was dissappointed, returned it this afternoon and got Donkey Kong Jungle Beat+Bongos and F-Xero GX.

DKJB is fucking awesome to play while high and so is F-Zero GX is you don't mind playing it on easy mode.

That sounds incredibly interesting. Is it PS3 or 360? which is the better version, etc?
