What games have you played lately?? - Jul 21, 2005 21:31
Recently, I played Dead or Alive Ultimate, Ninja Gaiden, Gran Turismo 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Windwaker, Killer 7 and Starfox Assault..

I fell in love with DOA, because I always do with those games (I' m obsessed with DOA3), and it' s just fluid in graphics and control, it' s great. I liked Ninja Gaiden because of the great in-game plot and the awesome CG graphics, but I didn' t like it as much as I could have (I don' t like the boss fights). I found GT4 reeeeally boring. I don' t know why, but Gran Turismo is so authentic, that the fun-factor is taken away from it. But that' s my opinion. I played San Andreas recently, and I was impressed with the flexibility of freedom one has, but I thought the violence was over-bearing. I played Windwaker again recently, and it was awesome!!! It' s no OOT, but it' s a great epic story that everybody should try out. I wish I felt the same about Killer 7 and Starfox Assault. Killer 7 has a great and stellar premise, and the story plot really impressed me, but the game got sooooooo repetitive, and don' t even get me started with Starfox. I was so appauled!! It totally sucked, in every fact of the matter. The horrible controls, the meh graphics, and the silly story were cleverly fused into a dud of a game with a million dollar brand name. Oh well...

Well, those are the games I played recently. Forgive me if some of my remarks were a bit harsh, but that' s my opinion. Here are the numbers:

Dead or Alive: Ultimate: 9
Ninja Gaiden: 8
Gran Turismo: 7.5
Grand Theft Auto: 8.5
The Windwaker: 9.5
Killer 7: 7 (Ironic..)
Starfox Assault: 6

Star Soldier: Absolutely love it. It' s actually an improvement over the GameCube and PS2 remake of the same game. Got it today and finished it 7 times already.

Tenchi No Mon: Pretty nice demo, and pretty nice for an martial arts styled action-RPG game. I' m definitely looking forward to trying out the full version soon.
I must' ve completed the demo about 4 times.

Coded Arms: I honestly don' t know WHY this game is getting such a bad rap. But then again since I' m no fan of FPS games in general, I' m not as difficult to please nor as nitpicky, lol.

Killer 7 was indeed interesting. I' m still working on finishing that one, I kinda got sidetracked unfortunately.

I too have been playing Killer 7 and have just about finished it. Perhaps the lovely graphical style has at least got a little to do with it, but I think it' s a marvellous game myself, which I' ve been getting immense enjoyment from.

I' ve also been playing Oddworld: Stranger' s Wrath, which is pretty good, but way overated. I think I preferred Munch' s Oddessy in all honesty.

I' ve also been playing DOA: Ultimate recently and I just can' t get enough of the fast, fluid and intuitive gameplay, the sizeable and interactive arenas and the stunning visuals (which includes hot looking women )

World of Warcraft, Knights of the Old Republic, and the new Xbox Magazine demo.

Daroosh-Great game RTCW was back in the day on Xbox Live. That game brings back so many memories of killing people online...I was ranked in the 20' s near the end.

Man, I just loved DOAU.

There were some flaws (like some camera issues), so I didn' t see it as sublime as Soul Calibur 2, but it was so much fun. I liked six things about it: Tina, LeiFang, Ayane, Kasumi, Hitomi and Helena

This weekend I hope I' ll find the time to finally start playing Killer 7. Tekken 5 is taking a lot of my time, as is GTA:SA on Xbox and Champions:RTA (it' s a great game, but I wouldn' t be playing it if my gf didn' t like it so much). Looks like Metroid Prime 2 is going to have to wait a while longer.

Do you think Geist and Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball will be any good? Nintendo has never really tried it' s hand at a real FPS and a sports game (I' m talking about a sports without Mario). When I played Geist at E3 2004, I wasn' t impressed at all. But I know it' s become alot better. I don' t know what people thought of NPCB, hopefully it' ll be good. Hey, if the Red Sox won the World Series, then Nintendo could make a real, good sports title!!

Was playing Nanostray just a while ago. I was on the 7th level with 1 more level left to go and Would have finished the game a scant 30 minutes after just buying it but the dam* battery died onme, LOL.. Argh! Now I can' t say that I finished it in one sitting all due to a minor technicality.

2D Styled shooters are among my favorites along with platformers. My fingers have had plenty of twitch gaming practice all week with Space Invader Pocket and Star Soldier for the PSP and Mushihime-sama for the PS2. If you can survive a shooter developed by CAVE, you can survive almost any shoot-em up as Cave shooters are friggin INSANE at times but in such a delicious way with enemies swarming you at a faster rate of speed from every direction and screens filled with enemy fire and no safe spots. :).

Today, I played Meteos, Kirby Canvas Curse, Super Mario Sunshine and Forza Motorsport. Meteos is loads of fun, and Kirby is very well-crafted and clever. Sunshine, although it is no Mario 64 in any fashion, is still very well made and it' s controls are sublime (although the story is laughable and there are camera issues). As for Forza, I' m glad that I' ve found a simulated racing game that doesn' t sacrifice fun for authenticity, because ' Motorsport' has both.




... That last line sounded sooooo professional....

Just picked up GTA: SA for the PC...had to buy a control pad too, it sucks to drive with a trackball. Not even half way thru but have spent hours just wandering around....Legend of Zelda Orcarina of Time for the NGC. And Baten Kaitos for the NGC. For a turn based RPG the battles are really quite intense due to the card system interface. The voice acting and story are horrible tho.

Hey, the Pokemon games are genius. I have Ruby and Fire Red. I LOVE Fire Red. I play it more than my DS and PSP. The Pokemon games rule man, no doubt about that. They' re so darn addictive, and I' ve been working very hard to make my seven pokemon have experience points eighty or higher.

I just (finally!) beat Chronicles of Riddick. I forgot how fun it was (haven' t played in a while). I wonder if there' ll be a sequel?

I' ve also been playing Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly. That game is so sweet! It scared the crap out of my girlfriend while I was playing, and even managed to make me jump a couple of times! Can' t beat that!

I hated Dynasty Warriors 5. The fighting was cool, but it was just so choppy and unpolished.

OMG! I have played:

Quarterback Club for the Sega 32X
Sports Talk Football starring Joe Montana for the Sega Genesis
Choplifter for the Sega Master System
Road Avenger for the Sega CD (I recently reviewed it and YOU can even make $5 by reading my review)
Ghost House for the Sega Master System (one o' them card games)
Mushimushasama or something like that by CAVE for the PS2 (just another Cave shooter, but with really grainy graphics).

OMG OMG I just played Super Hang-On for the Genesis LOL OMG! Here is a quick review:

Graphics:
Crap. Each object on the side of the road has about 5 or 6 steps in its animation, and there is no scaling. The movement of the road is very choppy. The color pallette used offers maybe about 3 colors that the Sega Master System cannot produce.

Sound:
Almost worthy. None of the great sounds that the Genesis can do are in here. Everything is mono until you crash your bike. Then the bike sounds that are passing you come from either the left or the right. People who have their Genesis' s hooked up incorrectly probably wonder why they can only hear the other bikes pass them when they crash only on the left side of the road. Great music, but poor sound library used to recreate it. Your " turbo" sounds more like an electric pencil sharpener than anything else.

Gameplay:
Almost worthy. There is a long delay from when you press a direction and when you actually start moving in that direction. Very slow.

Now I want to read Terry' s review of this exact same game.

well I got Geist and I love this game. Of course it does have some flaws but mainly for me it' s the AI, they aren' t very smart but it' s still a fun game i' v probably played 50+ hours already, thanks to the multi-player (for some reason it reminds me of Godeneye and PD). The single player is kinda short 10-13 hours but its fun to play through and try to find all the collectables to unlock multi player levels and characters.

all in all i' d rate this game a 8.5/10.

I played Conker: Live and Reloaded today. I also played some Darkwatch. Conker was pretty damn good and since I never had the chance to play the first one I' m glad I get to now. Darkwatch was decent. The difficulty fluxuated a little to much for my taste.
