Weekend Gamer: What are you playing?

[Jetherik]

With excessive heat wave in the US and Europe, what better opportunity to protect yourself than by staying in and playing games! Though it will be 115 for the next three days here, in Phoenix we are used to the weather and don't have the humidity. City of Heroes is having a double experience weekend, so I will be playing a lot of that. When I get tired of that, I will work on some Spellforce 2 and writing up the review for it. Stay cool and play lots of games! What will you be playing?

[NoName]

I managed to get my gf addicted to WoW, so I'll hopefully be playing a lot of that with her. That and drinking. Mmm.. beer and Wow.

[CaptStu]

I keep telling myself I'm going to finish Kameo. I have one more person to rescue then I'm done, maybe. Other than that, I plan on picking up NCAA '07 for some Alabama lovin' and maybe Prey if I'm feeling irresponsible with my money.

[Kamalot]

Prey on Hard.

I'm gonna try out the demo of Battle for Middle Earth II on the 360 too.

Oh, and Pokémon. Raising a kick-ass team for an upcoming tournament.

[Atepsflame]

I'll probably get back to trying to beat Dawn of Sorrow again. That or just keep running around collecting souls. That never gets old.

If you are up for it, lets hook up and try out some Kameo online. I see there are achievements to unlock in Co-op.

Gamertag: JayVe

[CaptStu]

Sweet. I'll be around most of the day on Sunday. Have girlfriend stuff to do tonight and tomorrow. I'll send you a friend invite.

[Metal Jesus]

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on the PSP. I've heard so much about this classic RPG and I can't wait to give it a go!

Also I will try and finish Prey on the XBOX 360 and probably gets some multiplayer with that in.

[Akeldama]

More online fun with my ChromeHounds squad I expect. Though that depends on the heat. Here in Essex it's been so hot I've sometimes been afraid to switch the Xbox 360 on. Probably play around with BFME2 and Over G Fighters too. I've just picked up the original Forza Motorsport again, so I think I'll be playing with that a little - looks surprisingly good one year on.

Also messing around with Flight Sim 2004 if there are some big storms in the UK tomorrow. I'll be chasing them thanks to real weather courtesy of Active Sky 6.

[Pinku!]

In between long bouts of City of Villains due to the aforementioned double XP weekend I'll be doing lots of touching with Phoenix Wright. ;)

And oh--

I'll probably get back to trying to beat Dawn of Sorrow again. That or just keep running around collecting souls. That never gets old.

That's exactly why I quit Aria of Sorrow though I'm at the end. It's in Dawn of Sorrow too? DAMMIT. I HATE having to collect everything to beat a game or get the good ending (I'm looking at you, Wind Waker!) :mad:

[bapenguin]

I just hope to god I can make some time to play games.

If I do it'll be Hitman and Chromehounds.

[HALO 32]

if i get a chance this weekend it would be Oblivion

[Returner]

Hitman
Serious Sam II
CSS
Chromehounds
Lineage II
Cloning Clyde

[absolut taco]

360 Battle for Middle-Earth 2

[crashedout]

Might give Cloning Clyde a run. That or Hitman for the PC.

[Xaerin]

In the mood for some hackin' and slashin' but I've exhuasted my desire to play the Diablo's, once was enough.

So got Dungeon Siege installed and the Ultima 5 mod downloaded so have to give that a spin.

[torrefaction]

I just hope to god I can make some time to play games.

If I do it'll be Hitman and Chromehounds.

I'm right there with you. I need to wrap up Hitman...but at the same time, I need to make sure Tarakia wins the war.

GODDAMN From Software.

It was pretty hilarious last night. I had just finished a battle, and was tweaking my mech when my girlfriend came over. She wanted me to stop playing.
Me:"But...My country is in RUINS!!!!!"

:D

[joruussuun]

Probably finishing up my Titan Quest co-op game.

[Intruder]

Continue my Chromehounds addiction, it is almost as bad as WoW ;D

[Goronmon]

WoW raids, Chromehounds and some Hitman.

[Bad_Buddha]

Still having a hard time getting into a game. Nothing seems to pop my twanger. Had fun with the Titan Quest demo but after picking up a new monitor it's tough to justify $50 on a game in the budget. I've got a huge backlog of unplayed games but nothing seems to call out to me. I think a lot of it has to do with my father's failing health. Got some borderline depression going on and the apathy that goes along with it.

Probably read a bit - Just picked up Fall of Hyperion and getting into that.

Finally have some time to put into my motorcycle restoration! Sun, bikes, spanners and beer!

[michaelwhite]

I'm going to beat my meat like it owes me money.

[RGetz]

I'm going down the shore with my girlfriend during the double xp weekend for CoH! Such bad timing!

I guess I'll bring my DS along, play some Brain Age and maybe some NSMB.

[Speed_D]

Hm... Hitman came with my new video card... I suppose I should get around to installing it sometime. But with the weather this weekend I'll probably be out waterskiing :)

[Bydo_Empire]

I haven't turned on a console in about three weeks until yesterday, when I played a little Master System in honor of the 20th anniversary of system's US release (June of 86). Now that that's over, I plan on picking up my save of HL2 on xbox this weekend. I might play a little DS as well.

[Goronmon]

I'm going to beat my meat like it owes me money.LOL, I almost spit out the candy I was chewing when I read that.

[Spigot]

That's exactly why I quit Aria of Sorrow though I'm at the end. It's in Dawn of Sorrow too? DAMMIT. I HATE having to collect everything to beat a game or get the good ending (I'm looking at you, Wind Waker!) :mad:
I had the same thing happen to me at the end of Dawn of Sorrow. I 'finished' it but not really. I had to put it back on the shelf for a bit.

Let's see. What's Spig playing this weekend?

Meteos (DS) - I was THIS close to trading this away a few weeks ago and I've become readdicted to it this week. Must... Fuse... More... Planets...

Chrono Trigger (SNES) - Once again, big kudos to Skjef for trading this with me. It's been so long since I've had a chance to play through this RPG masterpiece and I'm loving it just as much now as I did back in the day.

Dungeon Siege 2 (PC) - Inspired by playing some Titan Quest a week or two ago, I've decided to try to actually beat this game. Unfortunately I had to restart the game but I'm still enjoying the game, warts and all.

Plasma Pong (PC) - I'm absolutely loving this freeware game. It's pong with gorgeous fluid dynamics. Yummy.

And maybe some WoW, Metroid: Zero Mission and a few other things.

Oh, and it's the Biweekly Balderdash Bonanza at Casa Del Spigot on Saturday. Come one, come all, for a crazy night of wordplay. Woo!

[Vadras]

CHROMEHOUNDS!!! Such a great game... outside of that some Valkyrie Profile for the PSP and perhaps some CoV for double xp weekend. The end of the work day can't come soon enough!

[pseudopseudo]

Hoping to finish some more of Resident Evil 4... started playing it last weekend, and only got as far as "El Gigantor" or whatever the hell that thing's name is.

And, because of an exponential increase in my amount of Dreamcast games over the past week, I'm thinking about going through Soul Calibur in mission mode, Jet Grind Radio, and massive amounts of Crazy Taxi 2.

Oh, and if I can lock a copy down somewhere, getting started on Half Life from the beginning, so that when the new HL2:Ep2 MONSTER PACK comes out, I can be caught up from the start.

[CrashCart]

Finally settled on what video card to order (ATi Radeon X800 XL up from a GeForce 4 Ti 4400) last week and installed it last night. With this upgrade, I might be able to catch up on the PC scene now. I finally kicked my WoW addiction a month or two ago and played through a backlog of console games. Started into Prey last night. I'll probably finish it this weekend because I hear it won't take too much of my time, and I kind of like the portal technology. I'll consider it a warmup for Portal, having already tried out Narbacular Drop from the same design team. Also on the meun, though probably not this weekend, are Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and maybe Oblivion if I get around to picking up a copy.

My aging AGP rig continues to chug along until Vista and DX10 cards. Man, I really want to rebuild.. Sometime soon.

[screwtape]

Still having a hard time getting into a game. Nothing seems to pop my twanger.
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a new Gamefly account with 2 games, a monthly pass from Blockbuster, just got Guitar Hero, I re-activated my WoW account and have quite a few DS games to play. I just don't know which one I want to spend time with. I'll actually be leaving my apartment this weekend to hang out with friends and family. Perhaps a bit of scorching heat and smoggy air will clear my head and sharpen my gaming palate.

I'm sorry to hear about your father's failing health, Bad_Buddha. I hope you and yours are as well as you can be in such a situation.

[GrinR]

CHROME fucking HOUNDS, whenever I get a free moment.

I suspect at some point EA will consolidate EA 1 and 2 into one or the other. We need more online people and it sucks to see 7 people online with 3 on one team and 4 on the other... :(

[TheBrainKills]

ChromeHounds ... I agree with GrinR

Finish up HL2-Ep 1

And I just bought Halo 2 for 20$, so I thought I would see what all the fuss is about.
I hated Halo 1 on the PC.

[kid cabelgo]

I'm off to San Diego to visit my girlfriend, and perhaps swing by good 'ol Comic Con ;)

So it looks like it'll be lots of Advance Wars and Mario Kart on the DS, along with whatever I can get my hands on at the Nintendo booth.

[thecrazyd]

I'll probably be playing some Advance Wars DS (thanks Kelegacy!). Also, probably finishing Prey? Maybe? I dunno. Hoping to try out Mario 3 on 3 and Elite Beat Agents at Comicon.

[torrefaction]

Abso-fucking-lutely.

[cp#]

Nothing! Because my eVGA 7900GT KO Supercloked still doesn't work :mad:

I'll just be getting hammered :)

[i aint yer pa]

I'm saving the world from North Korea as an elite member of Executive Operations in Mercenaries. I hope to get some time in with Forza, too.

And of course, any number of DS games because the DS Lite is where it's at.

[Zurik]

I'll be doing more Titan Quest now that I've beat normal mode(So far epic has some nice boss fights), some Arkham Horror with the new expansion, plus messing around with creating web comics in Garry's Mod. In Oregon its getting up to 110 degrees today and probably tomorrow.

[Riproar]

Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater has drawn me in once again. A great air sim, the graphics are the only negative (circa 2000). The game makes up for it with a very satisfying frame rate and a excellent mission structure.

Also Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix has me by the short hairs. That is some great arcade racing.

[Pigeon]

For me it's WoW and Tetris DS. I just picked up Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for $10 so I'm gonna hit that up too

[EternalGamer]

I decided to give Oblivion a shot, so I moved it to the top of my Gamefly queue after returning Tomb Raider Legend. I got it Tuesday and have to admit, I"m having a lot of fun with it. So it will probably be a full weekend of Oblivion for me.

[Abash Alarmist]

Chromehounds!

[Bumbuliuz]

I finally tracked down a copy of Nsmb game for my new Ds Lite. So I am going to lie on my couch over the weekend and relive the old glory days of Mario on the Nes ;)

[pseudopseudo]

If you're expecting a weekend full of NES Mario reminiscing, you're going to be completely overwhelmed, because it's SO MUCH BETTER than that.

[Heretic Machine]

Well, I just got finished playing Sign up for fall classes and take nothing but online courses. Now I'm free to play some Grim Fandango, FF6, Mega Man X, and various other retro-titles. Also, been enjoying Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (thanks to simedog!)

Been spending a lot of my free time listening to GamingFM (http://www.gamingfm.com) while MUCKing. I like it, not only for the classic tunes I love, but for great songs from games that I have never played (Zone of the Ends II has an excellent theme song).

[Evil Avnovice]

1) A little bit of Brain Age (DS)
2) Big Brain Academy (DS)
3) Super Princess Peach (DS) (Just recleared the game for %100) :D
4) Trauma Center (DS)
5) A little bit of True Swing Golf (DS)
6) A little bit of Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
7) A little bit of Resident Evil 4 (GC)

I really need to pick up Drill Dozer again, and add Soul Blazer, along with a few other roms for my PSP emulator in the future.

[fitbabits]

I'll likely be playing the Travelocity Game so that I can go be by the bedside of my very sick mum. :(

[balamoor]

City of Heros, then some BF 2 after that it's back to work. :(

[mos]

The latest release of UFOAI is going to get a workout, and probably some more Rome:TW.

Maybe even Temple of Elemental Evil or Neverwinter Nights, since I feel like playing a good American RPG but there hasn't been a new one in a few years now.

[JudasGoat]

I'll likely be playing the Travelocity Game so that I can go be by the bedside of my very sick mum. :(

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything turns out alright. :(

[fitbabits]

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything turns out alright. :(
Thanks. Life's a total bastard at times.

[Mysterio]

I keep telling myself I'm going to finish Kameo. I have one more person to rescue then I'm done, maybe.

You still have to defeat Thorn. :)

Also, you have to collect all the crystals, elixirs, and fruit before you'll receive the "Completed the game!" achievement. Have you been reading the fruit newsletters? :D

I've sunk 30+ hours into the game, and I still have only 48% of the achievements. :(

[Wyrm]

I'm on the final stretch of Prey (I think), so I'll probably finish that.

Here's a list though of all the stuff I have on my gaming agenda:

Paper Mario: 1000 Year Door
Eternal Darkness
Resident Evil 4
Full Auto
Burnout
Skies of Arcadia
Ico
Titan Quest
GRAW
Ninja Gaiden
Devil May Cry 3
Shadow of the Colossus (this time on hard)
Psychonaughts
Mario and Luigi Partners in Time
Halo 2 (got back into xblive again)

That's quite a fucking list I have going, and I'm pretty sure that isnt all. I have built up such a huge freaking back cataloge, I get home and I dont know where to start! Ah well, I really need to play one game at a time and I'd finish them more quickly, but I'm not able to do that.

I got pretty bored of Chromehounds and decided I can't even stomach finishing the SP campaign. I might try the multiplayer, as I'm told that's what the game is all about, but the fundemental gameplay wont change, and that's part of what makes the game so god damn boring. I suppose if I had more time to sleep, I might not pass out while playing it, but I know Burnout doesn't do that to me, so I'll probably play that instead.

[TheBrainKills]

5) A little bit of True Swing Golf (DS)

Whats this like? Any good?

[Evil Avnovice]

5) A little bit of True Swing Golf (DS)

Whats this like? Any good?

Basically, you use the stylus to swing your golf club, and are able to swing it at angles and such. You can zoom in or afar to see the entire course, check your trajectory, etc. (like in any golf game basically), and you're able to Pictochat with anyone nearby with a copy of the game.

I think it's a fun game, despite my not caring too much about golf itself. My personal opinion is that I play it more than Hot Shots Golf (PSP), but it's not as good as Mario Golf: Advance Tour (GBA). If you can, you should rent it or download a demo from someone you know who has the game and try if for yourself, as your opinion may differ from mine. :)

[pseudopseudo]

I play it more than Hot Shots Gold (PSP), but it's not as good as Mario Golf: Advance Tour (GBA). If you can, you should rent it or download a demo from someone you know who has the game and try if for yourself, as your opinion may differ from mine. :)
Do you mean Hot Shots: Open Tee, or am I missing out on a sequel to one of my favorite PSP games?

[Evil Avnovice]

Do you mean Hot Shots: Open Tee, or am I missing out on a sequel to one of my favorite PSP games?

The exact same one. (Open Tee) ;)

Edit: I re-read my post, and I saw the typo. ("gold" instead of "golf")

Sorry about that. :(

[rainbowblack]

VP: Lenneth all the way, with a dash of BFMEII

[Bad_Buddha]

Have you been reading the fruit newsletters?
Wha???

With a come on like this, that's a game I can't miss! :D

[Mysterio]

Wha???

[vistigris]

All I'm going to do this weekend is play Chromehounds.

[JudasGoat]

All I'm going to do this weekend is play Chromehounds.

That's what I intend to try to do, if I can get these goddamned "obstacles communicating" issues dealt with. Although I'm starting to think it's 100% beyond my control.

[dr_wily]

wow lots of chromehounds action at EA despite the reviews..
at least sega made 500$.

im working on minish cap on my train commute (MAX), gotta finish up burnout and unlock some more cars (win a race without crashing is a bitch), and play more than 5 min of my newly aquired DOA4.

oh and play LORTBFME2 demo (hah love that acronymn, internet 3.0 bitch), show off the prey demo again (damn its long, blah blah blah, get me some action), and try kicking the ball farther than 5 yards in ncaa football demo. man that new kick gauge sucks.

oh yeah and i forgot to add that its fucking 100 degrees as of 2 pm and we got 4 more hours of heat comin in PDX, along with a 40% humidity.. nummy.

wonder how many 360s will crash in that kind of heat.

[Sinistar]

Chromehounds for sure!

[Rakael]

I'll likely be playing the Travelocity Game so that I can go be by the bedside of my very sick mum. :(


Sorry to hear that man, hope everything works out alright.

[Liquidize105]

Some NS at the most, but what I really want to do is direct.

[Adam Blue]

Act of War: HT. Best game this year that nobody plays. I'm going to rant about this pretty soon. Why does no one play the best RTS out there?????

Anyway....I'm looking forward to that Spellforce 2 review. I loved the first and have been delaying the purchase of the 2nd. This will get me into the groove of things.

[hotcoffeeburns]

I'll be playing SDCC (San Diego Comic Con.) I would like like to be playing Chromehounds though.

I picked up Act of War: Direct Action a while ago but didn't get too far into it. Is it worth pursuing? Anything in particular that makes you so excited about it?

[A Lusty Alien]

Game plans...

Friday night I'm playing WoW with my co-workers. (We have a regular weekly Horde group on Steamwheedle Cartel)

The rest of the weekend I'm going to be taking advantage of double experience in CoH/CoV

[Everlost_MI]

For me it's God of War and trying to finish my season in Madden 06 before 07 comes out.

[Sl1pstream]

wow lots of chromehounds action at EA despite the reviews..
at least sega made 500$.

Reviews :rolleyes:

As I finally got my copy of Ouendan, I'll be playing that for a while, afterwards, there will be Chromehounds and a game of "How will I fill the week of vacation I have starting this Monday".

[DeadPixel]

Titan Quest for me. Maaaaaaybe some Oblivion.

[Spigot]

...Trying to finish my season in Madden 06 before 07 comes out.
YOU! You're what's wrong with the videogame industry these days! :rolleyes:

As I finally got my copy of Ouendan, I'll be playing that for a while.
Awesome. Another victim falls before the onslaught of the awesomeness that is Ouendan. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I have. Hard mode is hard though... go figure.

[Adam Blue]

I picked up Act of War: Direct Action a while ago but didn't get too far into it. Is it worth pursuing? Anything in particular that makes you so excited about it?

You inspired me to make a post about it. Check the forums soon.

[The Iron Weasel]

Table Tennis (Rockstar Presents ofcourse), Sim City 4 Deluxe, Jak 2, Hitman: Blood Money.

[Echani]

Dreamfall, and a little bit of Titan Quest.

I do what my sig tells me :eek:

[Phanto]

I will be playing some Warcraft III TFT, I'm starting Bardus Gate 2: SoA + expo for the extra features and items, also I'm playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, and maybe I will also start playing Prey finally !!

[bstiff]

My aging AGP rig continues to chug along until Vista and DX10 cards. Man, I really want to rebuild.. Sometime soon.

yeah been thinking about upgrading myself. My old p4 2.4 mhz 533 has done ok for the last few years but may have to rebuild everything now with the amd price drop coming up. Ill have to see how things go after starting my new job on the 31st and getting my first paycheck. (Not that I don't already have rent, car payment and other bills to deal with. Oh yeah, forbearance on med school loans is about over (eeek!!))

[EternalGamer]

I just got Oblivion on Tuesday and I have already played 20 hours according to the game clock. Jesus, I thought my days of playing videogames that obbessively ended a long time ago. The last time I can remember playing a game for anything near remotely that long is when the original Phantasy Star Online came out for the Dreamcast, and that was around five (?) years ago. Needless to say, I think I like it. I just wish it was actually more scripted. The scripted events and archiecture is way more interesting than the randomized stuff. I can imagine this game with a real overworld as lovingly crafted as a Zelda overworld stuffed full of interesting secrets to uncover and unique set pieces.

[TalkingOctopus]

I've been playing Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirit. I really shouldn't have bothered playing it, but somehow I made it to the final boss and in traditional RPG spirit, he totally destroys my party, despite the rest of the game was a breeze.

I am also playing through Kirby Canvas Curse. The use of the stylus is phenomenal. Hopefully, I'll receive some packagaes tomorrow and have Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright, and Castlevania DoS to play through as well.

[Bumbuliuz]

Theese long summer months sometimes have their uses. I have finished finally Gta-sa for the xbox and God of War. Now I just have to finish a few other games I have been meaning to finish for months.
On the Xbox it´s: Pshyconauts
On the PS2 it´s:Ico, Shaddow of Colossus
And for the Gc it´s: Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, Zelda Wind Waker and mabye the Twin Snakes, even though I have finished Mgs1 3 times on the ps1.

My Gc games list is the longest, because I got a Samsung 32" Lcd HDTV last year and after that my gc games looked like crap on the tv. They were running with the standard composite cables. After a few months of searching I tracked down a Component cable on Ebay from a guy in Japan and I got it yesterday. Wow the picture diffrence is wonderfull. I have recently also gotten a Component cable for my ps2 and Xbox1. Theese cables are sometimes hard to get here in Europe.

Now it´s just to sit my ass in front of the Tv, curse at the 24hour sunlight at the moment and play some games ;)

The only thing now that can stop me is that I finally got a Ds lite and with it Adwance Wars and Nsmb

[SexualChoc]

I'll be playing ZOE 2. My brother found it for an incredibly low price, after I had searched for months. Needless to say, we are both more than pleased.

[Spigot]

ZOE 2 is great. I started it up again recently but, as usual, other games came along and distracted me again. I'll be happy when they stop making games for these current gen systems as I'll be able to finally catch up, given that I won't be getting anything other than a Wii (possibly) for quite some time.

I always liked the concept and style of ZOE, and I enjoyed the demo of The Second Runner. I never payed much attention to it. But after a friend recommended to me, and I could get the original for the price of a meal from McDonalds, there was no reason not to. I liked what I got, but it was somewhat half done. I put that down to putting out a game to go with MGS2 demo. But ZOE2 builds and expands on everything the first did. It is truly a better sequel.

[Kelegacy]

A little late, but I've been playing Circle of the Moon for the GBA (been hanging out at the Cheapassgamer forums, even did a trade for a shit-ton of GBA titles--Phantasy Star Collection, Circle of the Moon, Lady Sia, Astroboy and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance) and hoping to beat it soon.

Additionally, the kind-hearted Norse sent me Dawn of Sorrow for the DS and after I beat CotM I am going to move onto that game. I also beat Trace Memory the other day and bought Phoenix Wright--it's still in the shrink wrap and though I don't think I'll be playing it anytime soon, I figured it was prudent to buy it while I could...even if I don't play it for a year to come.

Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero are going for 19.99 at Sears (this week, I think...or something). I may pick up the former, as I unfortunately already own the shitty latter. I think they offer them online as well as the physical store, but all of the Sears stores I've been to lately have stopped selling games. Circuit City has the same sale soon I believe.

[Spigot]

*gasp*

Kelegacy lives!

Does this mean you're actually playing your 360 since ending your Oblivion obsession?

Nice snag on the Phoenix Wright. My friends saw one new in the store and were told by the salesperson to buy Trauma Center instead. Sigh...

[Kelegacy]

No, my 360 still sucks. It is just a movie watching device these days. I picked up San Andreas for the Xbox in the Circuit City bargain bin for 8.96 so I can play it on the 360, though. Again, it's in the shrink wrap along with F-Zero GP Legends for GBA and Pac-Pix and Phoenix Wright for the DS.

I bought Perfect Dark Zero a few weeks back and even though I beat it, it left a godawful taste in my mouth. Rare can do better, or at least they could back in their Nintendo days. PDZ was not a good game, it wasn't even "okay", at least not single player. And a game that doesn't have a good SP mode (regardless of how well the multiplayer is) isn't worth a purchase, not in my book.

Kameo I might purchase, because at 20 bucks how can you go wrong? I think I'm gonna trade in PDZ though, because I can't even stand it to be in my apartment. Oblivion (and GRAW) are still the two main reasons to own a 360 if you cannot afford a good PC. Oblivion was worth the price of admission (though I'm reluctant to say one game is worth 500 bucks all told), but the lasting appeal of the device cannot compete with the $129 dollar DS Lite. Thus, the DS is my system of choice these days.

[DeathtollWRX]

I recently purchased FarCry for 20 bucks at Best Buy. It was sure worth it. Alot more bang for the buck then HL2:EP1. I also finished up on Rise of Legends.

[Spigot]

Thus, the DS is my system of choice these days.
You must join us and purchase Ouendan. You haven't had fun with a DS until you've played this game to death.

I spent most of this weekend actually playing Rub Rabbits on the DS. What a cute game. I really enjoyed Feel The Magic and this one was all that and a bag of chips.

What are the Rabbits you collect used for though?

[brettly]

well..after recently getting the 'invasion' map pack for COD2 for the 360 that seems to be keeping my interest ..also tryin to get through the career tournament on Table Tennis is challenging me a bit :)..so frustrating at times! ..it will happen...one day

I'm such a Deal Whore that I purchase any PC or 360 game that I'm mildly interested in if it's a good deal (only buy a $60 360 game if I really want it; otherwise, I wait until it hits $30). On any given weekend, I have way too many PC/360 games from which to choose.

I really should be admitted to a psychiatric ward. I doubt my gf would object. :o

Additionally, the kind-hearted Norse sent me Dawn of Sorrow for the DS and after I beat CotM I am going to move onto that game. I also beat Trace Memory the other day and bought Phoenix Wright--it's still in the shrink wrap and though I don't think I'll be playing it anytime soon, I figured it was prudent to buy it while I could...even if I don't play it for a year to come.
I hope you enjoy the game. I think I forgot to delete the save games, but I guess that doesn't matter. I don't know why but I found it too damn difficult. I feared that my 2D platforming skills were gone, but I played through New Super Mario Bros this weekend so I think my skills are somewhat intact :) .

I only played for a bit because I'm trying to beat Circle of the Moon on the GBA first (now THAT can be a goddamn tough Castlevania). But from what I played of Dawn of Sorrow, I was already beginning to get addicted.

I'm going to pick up Kameo tonight after work and grocery shopping, if Circuit City has any in stock. Only 19.99, so even if I wind up disliking it it won't be too upsetting. I think I'm going to start purchasing all my 360 games when they hit a favorable price tag; a 60 dollar game will have to score in the 9/10 range at various publications, have a lengthy gameplay experience and be a genre I enjoy if I'm ever going to drop that much cash on a title.

I don't hesitate to pay full price on titles I'm interested in. Price drops like that only makes me buy titles I normaly wouldn't be interested in. So for me these price drops are a bad thing. I don't have the patience to wait for games to drop before I buy them.

I really enjoyed Kameo. If you take the time to explore everything, you'll get a lot out of it. If you stick solely to the main quest, you won't. The art direction is very good.

That's a great idea.

I've started to do this more often now. If I'm only mildly curious about a title, I'm renting it first to see how it plays. If it sucks, I'm not really out anything. Certain games I'll buy sight unseen (Okami, FFXII, Zelda) but my willingness to part with my cash has decreased greatly of late.
