'twas a joke about you making the thread for the purpose of showing what a kind and giving creature you are to your man.

I've been playing the shit outa Battlefield 2: Modern Combat(PS2) and BLACK(PS2).

[bardy]

I am still playing Myst IV off an on, and occasionally I will log onto a MUD.

And I hardly ever play and of my video games; when I do it's usually Super Mario Brothers. Oh, and I was never able to beat Sonic's last guy in Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast (ugh worst investment ever) so sometimes I do that.

Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360):

I finished the single player campaing very quick. The story was very bad as well as the voice acting, but I thought the gameplay was fun and it has some gorgeous graphics. The multplayer part of the game is much better, specially the DarkOps mode which is more objective-based, a little bit like Counter Strike, it has Infection, Erradication, Sabotage... it's fun.

Geometry Wars (Xbox 360):

Exciting little game, it can be so addictive. I can't get past 150,000 I haven't played it much.

Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360):

Just incredible, you really feel like you are a part of a war and are not fighting alone, it's very immersive and it's packed with a lot of action. The smoke looks great, everything looks good and it runs at a constant 60fps.

I only have 2 retail games and 1 xbla game, so that's what I've been playing, aside from all the demos in xbox live.

Just beat the viser-butterfly dude. Pretty crazy final battle, and that stage 3 of the fight is murder. I found the way to deal with it is to make it to stage 3 with as much health & sand tanks as possible, take your lumps from his Spitball of Death when you're standing on an even platform, and when you're moving or swinging or running or hanging off a small ledge do it realllyyy fast. Still, the fight Emperess of Time in Warrior Within was even harder.

The very, very end is really interesting, actually. You beat the Viser, and then the Dark Prince turns up. He says, "What is yours is rightfully mine" (the same way that Warrior Within ended, actually) and you get sucked into a battle with him. but he doesn't fight back and you can't kill him. After some very mild platforming elements you defeat the Dark Prince ... by simply walking away from all your rage. Its more like an interactive game ending movie than anything. The very, VERY end has the Prince talking to Farrah and saying the exact same words that opened "The Sands of Time" - "Most people think time is like a river, flowing swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you, they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm..." If you're a fan of the series, its a pretty killer ending.

Tomorrow: Day 2.5 of Jack Bauer Life Begins! (stupid nobody giving me a copy on Monday)

[Dead]

What really frustrated me was I ran into what is apparently a common glitch at the end of Warrior Within where you can't transport to the final battle. So I played through the entire game for nothing.

I may go back to 2 Thrones some time but I doubt it.

I can't remember the exact name, I think it's Steam. The trigen freak me out, but the Jackhammer seems a lot more effective against them on Realistic than it did on easy.

I bought and played "The Indigo Prophecy" for PS2 this weekend. Man, what a waste of money that was. The reviews I read made it seem like it was some interesting new twist on gaming. But it was pretty much just your the same old point and click adventure game format that has been around since the 80s...only with a shittier plot, and frustratingly horrible gameplay. I wished death on the game designers more than once. The game was just not fun. Add that to the fact that I blew through it in less than a day and I'm wishing I'd have saved my money or spent it on a sports game instead.

if you had waited 2 more days, 24 the game would have been a better investment.

out tomorrow! I'm getting up at the crack of 11 AM to get it.

I have been playing nothing but WoW since August-ish. We just bought Super Mario Strikerz last night and I love it. WoW is seriously detrimental to my interpersonal relationships, but whatever-- I almost have my mount!

Regular or epic?

I don't play but I have some (former) friends who do. They don't leave their computers anymore...

[Dead]

I'm probably going to check out Black, it has a good review on IGN.

[PkPhuoko]

[Ugly]

No way I'm playing WoW. I can see it sucking up my life. They sell Atlases for God's sake! Atlases!! In a good POV spot in stores too. Nuh-huh. Sticking to non-online console gaming for me.

totally. i used to be really (seriously) addicted to MUDs, like.. REALLY bad.. health-danger-bad...
it took a long time for me to break down and let dan bring WoW into the house. I will not let myself touch it.

This game is pretty great, I'm not that big of a fan of FPS but this is pretty awesome. For PS2. Great graphics and effects.

It's intense, but poppers=headaches.
