batman arkham asylum. i almost wish there were something more to the combat, but that's probably the only gripe i can find about it :eek

it's like an interactive, very long episode of the original animated series (with different character designs of course, but then they kind of switched designs halfway thru the original series anyways so big whoop)

I cannot stop playing Punch-Out!! Wii. I've got over 700 completed matches on the thing and I'm still not bored. I swear Next-Level might have done too good a job on the game. I can't even guess how they'll improve on the sequel (but hopefully they surprise me).

P.S. I so underrated the multi-player mode. It's a bit unbalanced (playing as Giga Mac kinda sucks since he can't dodge, can be One-Hit Knockdowned, and can't do a fourth recover), but for a rough presentation of what a full-fledged Punch-Out!! multiplayer could be like, it's a damn lot of fun.

Motherfucking just beat Dr. Robotnik's Motherfucking Mean Bean Machine and got that motherfucking gold trophy, goddamnit.

Fallout 3 with all the DLC's and shit. Goodbye social life.

seriously cant stop playing batman. best non-post-apocalyptic-rpg game i've played in recent years

I agree. Arkham Asylum is awesome. Played it for around 8 hours yesterday up to 40% and they really got the exploration right. Almost feels like a Metroid game sometimes and I don´t think that I can make a bigger compliment than that :)

i kind of wish they'd made the riddler challenges harder on hard difficulty, though. moved 'em around, taken out the maps, something.

Are you playing it on the genesis or something like sonic's ultimate collection?

Doom 3.

I thought all the CAN'T SEE SHIT quips were a joke, but even with the flashlight turned on. God damn.

It also feels like I'm playing this on the Quake 2 engine the way the guns recoil and sound. Don't like it.

Strange. I was just considering getting Doom 3 out and finishing it sometime.

League of Legends. Its :\

I found my PC copy of Spiderman and it's awesome. Great voice acting, unlockable costumes, dozens of easter eggs, and the whole thing is narrated by Stan Lee! It's easily one of the best Superhero games ever.

NUH UH BANTMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM IS *fights u*

*fights back*
YAH HUH
BATMAN IS FOR LITTLE KIDS, SPIDERMAN IS A COOLER CHARACTUR

Sonic's Collection. Comes with savestates, not that I used them practically. I saved at the end of every puzzle, where I would be given a password, anyway.

Speaking of Superhero games, my Champions online should arrive today, already was a lot of fun in the beta and I´m really looking forward to build lots of nice Hero-Dudes. :)

Playing Project Gotham Racing 4, I'm not much for racing games but what the hell. Also started replaying through DKC trilogy last night after finally unpacking the snes from storage :/

I got the xbox live kit yesterday and it came with project gotham racing 4. Is it any good? I was going to just trade it in.

yeah that's how I got mine. It's okay but like I said, I'm not much for racing games.

I hear need for speed undercover is the shit if you like racing games.

LEAVE ME ALONE DIMNOS, GODDAMMIT I DON'T LIKE RACING GAMES.

Im sorry man... Im sorry.... :tear

You guys with the PS3s. What are the must have games?

Pat Frincess. Shatter. Unreal Tournament III. The upcoming Demon Souls. Burnout Paradise. Little Big Planet. Infamous. Et cetera.

Little big planet is extremely fun. for a while.

That summarizes most games.

Certain games have more features on the PS3 than their 360 counterparts. Bioshock only has the Challenge Room DLC on PS3. The Burnout Paradise has a special interface that uses the PS3's web browser. And the Joker Challenges in Arkham Asylum.

Of course, for every PS3 exclusive, there's a bajillion Xbox exclusives.

Killzone 2 is utter shit, by the way, and I hate it. I'd rather be playing Call of Duty any day of the week. And Halo 3? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I just got a copy of Painkiller. I forgot how awesome this game is. The weapon that the game considers your pea shooter is pretty much a self-propelled BLENDER.

What is Burnout paradise like? I havent played a racing game in a looooong time. Can you buy your own cars and mod them out and shit?

I dont like Halo 3. I loved the first one back in the day and I had one of those French bootleg copies of 2. It was pretty bad ass. 3 though... I didnt feel like it brought anything new to the table. :(

You don't get to modify your own cars, but, with the DLC and such, there are over a hundred or so unique ones. Most of the cars come in pairs with different stats and paint jobs, but of the same model. But they are unique, especially the DLC ones. I love the Manhattan Spirit.

I like the Delorean :eek

Hmm, I bought that a while ago for $9.95 and I forgot to play it. I wonder where it is.

Started the Retailversion of Champions online. And of course the servers were down. They´re back up by now but the performance is still total and utter ASS. I love MMO´s...yuck.

Find it. It's got the cheesiest and most annoying cutscenes ever, but luckily it doesn't put emphasis on the story anywhere else. The gameplay is awesome; you go from wiping out zombies in a Dark Age city infested with plague (and witches, apparently), to fighting whole sects of ax-wielding monks, to a level that can only be described as an Iron Maiden album cover in game form.

How did I miss this?! :eek

I was reading this and it sounded really familiar and couldn't remember where I saw this. Now thinking it through my roommate has it. Watched him play through the monk level and I'm confirming its ridiculous awesomeness.

I started playing Monkey Island, but I was shit at it so I downloaded Loom instead.

Loom is holding my attention pretty thorougly, even though I don't know how to access my inventory, or if I even have one, and the only spell I can cast turns shit green.

Edit: And unturns it green if I play the spell backwards, apparently. That's actually pretty fucking cool.

Ok, I finished Loom in less than three hours :<

Other than being the shortest game I've played it was pretty good. Great, even. I'm playing Kingdom of Loathing and Nethack now.

i remember this game it was awesome specially the stake gun it felt great impaling people to the celling except i couldn't finish it cause it took me time to learn how to kill the last boss and later on i lost interest

I don't think I ever figured out how the hell to beat him, actually.
My favorite level was easily the Orphanage.

Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters.

It's awesome. I tried to fly to earth and got yelled at by Willie, then I left and got exploded by some red cyrstal guys in hyperspace.

it has this weird attack that makes stone rains you get demonized an use youe psi push and make the stones hit it

lol you need to go to one of jupiter's moons or mercury (jupiter's moons are more recommended cause you will die v. easy in mercury's firestorms) and pick up some radioactive materials :(

also exploring pluto before you bring the radioactives to earth may make things easier on you

edit: oh ps you need to go to the starbase orbiting earth did i forget to mention that? ignore what the ur-quan drone says for the most part

Champions is starting to be an actual game with all the patching and whatnot. My copy of Dissidia also arrived just now, guess I gotta try it out later.

yeah, I helped those guys out and cleaned mercury out of minerals without losing a crew member because I'm a badass like that :picklehat

I'm still getting attacked in deep space by the jerks with OP lightning ships, but since the spider guys' territory is circled I guess that's where I go next

well that's one thing you CAN do, but i'd start hunting nearby systems for minerals, ilwrath ships are a BITCH when they've got active cloaks

What's a good multiplayer game to play over PSN? And don't tell me about killzone 2.

Battlefield 1943. Burnout. Fat Princess. Little Big Planet. Even Ghostbusters is really fun.

Burnout is the best multiplayer online, ever, honestly.

Burnout has tapped out it's fun for me, i dont regret buying it, it was only 20 dollars and the DLC is ok to play with, but it's just boring now. You should have fun with it for a while though. It also becomes pretty expensive after buying all the shit

And why no KZ2? Fathom hates it for some reason but you may not. Socom? Red Faction: Guerilla, Fat Princess , Resistance 2, GTA4.

NetHack.

I tried to be a Wizard for a while, but I gave up after a fucking hobbit shanked me to death on the second level.

Valkyrie, now.

I am positively suprised how much stuff there is in Dissidia, really nice game so far.

valkyries start out pretty well equipped, but if i remember right a little short on food. my fav class to play is priest but it's almost cheating cause they can see if stuff is cursed before picking it up. of course w/ a little work you can use pets to do the same, it's just more hassle

Just that its already on my list of things to get. Just wanted to know what else was out there with good online play.

I picked up Uncharted, Infamous and Disgaea 3. Uncharted was good right up until the halfway point and it decided to start locking up. :( Turns out that is a common problem with the 3.0 firmware? Seeing as you work for Sony when are they getting that shit fixed Micro?

:lol

Sony acknowledges the problems and is quickly working on a fix. They announced that on the PS blog. Plus theres a Q and A on the european ps blog today about 3.0

So should be fixed. I just traded away uncharted about a week ago anyway

Should be fixed? As in its fixed now?

no just it should be fixed, as in it should have never happened.

Yeah, it shouldn't have happened but it will be fixed is what they say. This week at least

Mustachio!

thank you, thank you.

f-zero gx, burnout 3

taking another run at secret of mana emulation style. thank god for freeze states

I think I already played through the ten or so songs on Guitar Hero 5 that are any good to me.
It's really started to suck ever since 3; the songs are mostly all slow, with no real challenge to them. Rock Band has a lot more variation and speed. And, to me, a LOT better songs. But I'm not much of a classic rock person. Bring on the death metal!

rb2 has a handful of death metal tracks, plus there's some for d/l if i remember right

Prototype. I like how when you walk into someone, instead of just shouldering past them, you wind up and smack them right in the face.


And I was playing Mechwarrior 4, but now Willie has me hooked on SC2, too.

Age of Empires.

are you playin original or the remix with the speech from the 3D0 version, cause i gotta say most of the encounters are better with speech :eek

About to play Beyond Good and Evil for the first time, because I never played it and hear it's really good.

Also, downloaded Disaster: Day of Crisis for the Wii because Reggie doesn't want me to play it. It's pretty average I guess. Kinda retarded; like a collection of disaster movie cliches, except not as retarded as Disaster Movie.

I've been playing the shit out of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Dreamcast. Hands down the best fighting game around. Legendary line up (courtesy mostly to Capcom). I can't get over the fact that this title alone didn't save the Dreamcast, well I guess PS2 had it as well but still, amazing game.

Day of Crisis actually got made?

Shit, I remember wanting to play that 5 fucking years ago.

Yea, only came out in Europe.

goddammit, snes9x isn't saving my damn save states.

Whahahat?

Why are you using that piece of shit? ZSnes is the only way to go.

I think i'll download it tonight then we'll see.

Which one?

I was looking for my copy the other day and its missing so I might be downloading this from XBOX live soon.

Remake. Speech is definitely better. It adds a certain something to the Spathi daily prayer.

zsnes only works for mac with intel, I have an old emac.>:

Conquerers Expansion. The El Cid campaign kicks ass.

I'm playing Batman (which kicks so much ass) and Soul Calibur IV (which sucks terribly). Can't always win right?

I didn't think anything that let you play as Darth Vader could suck.

Batman rocked. The end was the only thing I had an issue with. :\



Just beat Infamous. That game kicked ass. Much better than Prototype in my opinion.

Castle Crashers because I finally got XBOX live.

Lockeness108 is anyone wants to play.

FF4 on the Gameboy Advance.

No matter what way I look at it, this is still a shit-tier Final Fantasy.

Scribblenauts AND Mario&Luigi 3 were leaked today. Best day ever.

(also a english patch for the Japanese Pokemon Gold/Silver Remakes, but I don't think anyone here cares :()

Scribblenauts is pretty amazing, but the controls aren't as great as I'd like. Still an awesome novelty.

I´d rather say 4 was the first GOOD Final Fantasy. 1-3 on the other hand are terrible in my opinion. Of the three older ones (4,5,6), I still like 5 the best because of the job-system.

Yeah, I just started playing 5 for the first time and once I realized you could combine classes I went into super nerd mode and my team ended up so hardcore that even bosses are a three-turn joke. I think my favorite is the Berserker with the passive two-handed axe weilding, which does about 800 damage.

But overpowered as hell is the only way to play through any of the Final Fantasies. Which is also why I like 8. I always go completely apeshit with the Junction system and get 9999 health for everyone by Disc 2 :picklehat

What multi-player games did you get for your PS3 Sam?

Beat Ghostbusters last week. Was fun while it lasted.

Playing Dead Space now.

Practically identical in terms of gameplay, yet strangely I yearn to play Dead Space again.

i do pm me link and also link for mario game patched i'm playing ultimate alliance 2 on ds

have you tried putting any famous game char's into scribblenauts, i.e. Link, megaman, samus etc.

I only got LittleBigPlanet and Noby Noby Boy. :(

No copyrighted characters or proper nouns.

EDIT: Holy shit I just put five pandas ontop of a unicycle and now I'm riding on all of them. Game of the Millennium.

I think I might go ahead and pick up Killzone 2 this weekend.

Or maybe Battlefield 1943... IDK :\

have any of you guys ever used http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/homepage.asp?
It's a pretty good way to get rid of games you don't play or want anymore.

what is it identical to?

Ghostbusters. I mean, the over-the-shoulder 3rd person shoot shit style.

Ghostbusters was ok I guess, it ran like shit on PC though. Somehow I managed to beat Dead Space in less than 5 hours when I got it, it never scared me once which kinda pissed me off. Can anyone recommend something on 360?
