I rented that awhile back, but didn't like it. I think Fifa Street is alot better.

It's a good game but it gets boring especially after you beaten it.

I really don't like games that were made from movies, I like games that have an origanal theme to them. The only games hat I have that's TV/movie related is The Simpsons: Hit and Run and Simpsons: Road Rage. I played The Lord of the Rings and I got bored with that right away. Well it was fun for a while but like I said it grew old very quick. So with that disappointment I never played a game that had a movie theme in it again.

What videogame are you currently playing?

Post by Evil Genie Jafar »

Let's see:

It took me a while to get into the videogames thing again. I just can't share the time between movies and games. I have seasons where is either one or the other but for some reason I just can't combine the two.


So, it was long ago but I manage myself to finish Resident Evil GC on hard with Jill; I think it's impossible to do it with Chris. :P

After that one, I decided to finish Viewtiful Joe that I had on the last levels since forever. And I don't like to have unfinished games. I'd like to know that if I paid for them, I'm going to finish them at least once.

anyways, it was hard but I finished it. DAMN CAPCOM for making their games take forever to finish them. I was on the last level and it took me like 1 hour + to finish it. The game ended the same way that all Megaman's games before it.

After that, even thoguh I could finish it again on hard, I decided to buy VJ2 since it was cheap ($15). So I started it and have it there for when I finish the other one I'm playing.

Gladius. I really like this game a LOT. In fact, I finished it once already and took me 100 hours. So I decided to finish it with the other character. And I'm finishing the 3/5 part of the game by now. I'm just stuck and the moment... and HATE when that happens.


...and in college, A Link to the Past. I play it always in my free hours time. Right now I'm about to go to the third dungeon before getting the Master Sword.

I have the following on rotation:

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit

I'm not so sure about the gameplay (herding isn't exactly thrilling), but there's a wonderful town to explore with stunning graphics (which has several areas <strike>locked off</strike> in quarrantine for now) and the feel of the characters spot on. As well as the main game, there's lots of sub-games and tasks to complete.

I never thought I would hear the words "Protect the Prize Marrow" said with urgency in a video-game!

Ultimate Spider-Man

Graphically very nice, but oddly plays worse than the previous Spider-Man 2 game. The web swinging especially isn't as fluid or 'natural'. Plus it's ULTIMATE Spider-Man, and I spit on Marvel's Ultimate line of titles.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogies Revenge

Good graphics, excellent sound (apart from new Jack voicing) and reasonable gameplay (but it does have perhaps a little too much backtracking). Not perfect, but a good rent/buy for Nightmare fans.

Midway Arcade Treasures 3: Hydro Thunder

I never played this game in the arcades, but I loved it on my DreamCast. The version here has the arcade graphics (much more detail than on the DC) but all the extras and the interface of the DC version. Very addictive.

Taito Legends

Virtually all of them. I've never seen a classic retro compilation with such a high number of hits, and the emulation is superb. Out of the 29 titles, there's probably only 2 or 3 disappointments. Currently, I love Space Gun.

The one game I played on PS2 is "Fantavision". One of my favorite games that I was getting into fireworks. I do love fireworks and that's the basis of the game. Just like the way you're going to Disneyland, Disney World, the 4th of July party and of course the carnival. In addition to that my NES games:

1. Super Mario Brothers
2. Super Mario Brothers 2
3. Super Mario Brothers 3
4. Section Z
5. Gradius
6. Legendary Wings
7. Bionic Commando
8. Gauntlet
9. RBI Baseball
10. Athena
11. Ikari Warriors
12. Ikari Warriors 2
13. Double Dragon
14. Bad Dudes
15. Renegade

Those are my NES games.

That's what I've been playing (I rented it) but I'm just twiddling my thumbs until the new WWE Smackdown!! game comes out on the 14th.

After months of not playing anything, recently I've bought Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and X-Men Legends II.

MK:Monks I've been playing in a 2-player game with my brother, a great direction the creators went in instead of a another beat-em-up.
I think its quite a good game, equally as good playing as a one player, although a hate it in a game when there are secrets you can only get in 2 player mode.
I've only just started playing X-Men, I'm a fan of the first so should like this.

I'm still waiting for Socom III: Navy Seals to come out. I just can't wait! I already have the first 2.

I have been playing Metal of Honor: Frontline. It's been a long time since I played it and it's still a fun game.

I have the first part and haven't played it yet. I bought it because I thought about playing with my friends, but that wasn't the case. So I'll have to start that game as soon as I finish Gladius.

But, since I won't have the patience to do the RPG part, I'll let the computer decide for me. :P

Ps

I also have Megaman X: Command Mission on the last level. I sure hope I can get back to it and finish it, otherwise I'll have to start the game again and seriously I don't feel like it.

I just got an email today informing me I wouldn't get on of the initial shipments of Xbox 360s :( But they think I will get one before Xmas, so it's not all bad news. (UK launch is December 2nd)

Anyhow, recently I have been playing (all on the Xbox):

Scooby Doo Unmasked

Yes, it's pretty much the same as the other two Scooby Doo games. Yes, it's a platformer with no new ideas. But it is done very well, and like Night of 1001 Frights it includes proper Scooby Doo monsters (and it also has the voice of Adam West). Considering it's nothing new, it's very playable and fun. An ideal timewaster game.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Well, initial thought were that this would be easy, but I must admit, the herbology level kept me occupied for ages, and I was sweating at the end of it. Looks like it will be one of the harder Harry Potter games to work through, and incredibly hard if you want to finish it properly at 100%.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Excellent. I've only played the prologue and some of the next segment, but this could be a game to rival the Silent Hill series. Very atmospheric and its an actual story rather than a shoot-em-up - I haven't even got a weapon yet. Indications are good.

Farcry Instincts

Good game, but I'm not too hooked on 1st person shooters, but this has graphics to die for. To be honest though, after completing the first level, I had more fun on the map editor

I got Gun last week. I love it, although i'm stuck at the moment :( . Tonight i bought Parappa the Rapper 2, and Broken Sword on the PS2 :D

I have all the parappa the rapper games now and Um Jammer Lammy, i foolishly traded Parappa 2 in a few years ago i think, and its impossible to find in the shops anymore, so i was so glad to see it again today :D .
