Samnmax221 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 What games have you played recently? PC, console, or Mac (Shudder)? When I haven't been busy I've had some time to mess around with Civilization 4 and thats pretty much it.
VampireNaomi Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 The newest game I bought and finished was Another Code/Trace Memory for Nintendo DS. Right now I'm playing Pokémon Ruby and trying to train my team a little.
Shuz Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Last game I played was Star Wars: Empire at War, the new Star Wars RTS. compared to other RTSs it's alright but it's main appeal is simply watching little xwings and star destroyers duke it out in space.
James Isaac Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 The last few games I played were Counter-Strike: Source (surf maps), RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and the great free game TrackMania Nations. Grim Fandango would also be on the list, but I lost the CD :'(
90SK Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 The last game I played through was "Killer 7", by Capcom. Without a doubt, one of the best (if not the) games I've played, and certainly the most thought provoking.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Recently I have been playing Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth and Star Wars: Empire at War. Both are awesome.
SteveBB Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Last games I played: Soldier of fortune 2, psychonauts, call of duty 2, F.E.A.R., trackmania nations
Ramsey721 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Im trying to get my hands on Grim Fandango (*drools*). I reallllllly hope it'll work on my computer. I recently played the bit of the demo that worked for me. I may be trying some other old PC game demos from Gamespot.
Samnmax221 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 You can usally find GF in the cheap games at Bestbuy
Ramsey721 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Hmm... Well I live in Newfoundland, Canada (which Im guessing none of you have ever heard of), and we dont have any BestBuys. Do you know any other stores that may have it?
Samnmax221 Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 I know where Newfoundland is but I'm not familiar with Canadian Stores having never been over the border(Which is rather sad being that it's only about am hour away).
Shuz Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 OT but cool avatar SnM221. I should watch that again.
Samnmax221 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 Thanks, I felt I needed a change so I started up Photoshop and threw that together, I was happy withit except I went too square and cut Inspector Renault out of the picture, maybe later I'll try 30x60
Chris]# Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Caesar III, Age of Mythology, Heretic, Heretic 2, and Hexen are what I've been playing over the last week. Saving GF for the easter holiday
cocytan Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Currently playing Beyond Good & Evil... Excellent, excellent game. Engaging story, intuitive gameplay, fun/smart characters that you really end up caring about... It's one of my goals to end up working in some sort of entertainment industry (currently studying games design at university), so if I ever end up making games I want them to be as good as this. To play, that I own: Myst IV, V, Uru, FEAR, Half-Life 2 (if I can get it to work), the new Prince of Persia, probably a bunch of others... Technically I get to call it "market research".
VampireNaomi Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 This Thursday I bought a copy of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for Nintendo DS. It's brilliant! I haven't had this much fun playing a game in ages. The characters are outrageously hilarious, the murder cases are intriguing and it's so captivating to play an attorney and tear the witnesses' testimonies apart.
Scorpicus Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I've finally bought Halo for PC and I'm going through it on legendary mode (I may be stuck halfway through level 2 but I'm not gonna give in!!!) I've also finished Day of the tentalcle-great game! "What am I going to do?" "I think I made myself perfectly clear: Step one- find plans. Step two- save world. Step three- get out of my house!!"
Isak Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Bought Resident Evil 4... Brillant game! Also bought Pro Evolution Soccer 4, the best soccer game I've ever played!
Sanspoof Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 The Godfather. Funnest game bought in recent years. There needs to be more decent gangster games.
VampireNaomi Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Is The Godfather difficult? I heard you can sometimes choose whether you want to get violent or handle the matters differently. The movies are among my favourites, but I'm hopeless with games that have any shooting, so I don't know if it's worth the price. Also, would someone who really doesn't like GTA games find The Godfather any good?
Ramsey721 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 From what I've heard, the game borrows from GTA, in driving and such. It probably would be worth renting if your a fan of the movie like me. Im playing The Curse of Monkey Island now on my labtop and MGS3 : Subsistence on my PS2. I finally found a copy of Grim Fandango to order, and after getting the demo working, Im psyched as hell to play it.
CylonRedux Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Back in December I finished Half-Life 2 (PC) and was very happy; the gameplay and scope of that last chapter just smooth blew me away. Then I immediately started Psychonauts (Xbox), which I'm still progressing through (17+ gameplay hours so far--I'm taking my time). I just got to the Milkman Conspiracy. And I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but Psychonauts has so much charm that I can easily forgive the occasional platformer quibble; the music, art direction, and humor are incredible. I can't wait for Schafer's next game, whatever that may be. In between on the PC, I've played several hours of the full version of Darwinia (the demo sold me!) and have enjoyed it; I've noodled around with the demo of Rag Doll Kung Fu quite a bit and found it really fun; and just the other day I made a serious dive into Half-Life: Blue Shift for the first time, and it's not great but it's not terrible, either. (By the way, if you've got a Steam account and register your hard copy of Half-Life, you get Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and Ricochet moved into your account gratis...at least I did, and that's not a bad deal in my book!) I don't know whether to officially count Syberia II (PC) on the list, since I installed it and played it for maybe an hour but haven't gone back to it. I got stumped at the train station (can't talk the Russian guy out of his key) and refuse to rely on cheats so quickly, so if anybody has any non-cheat clues, I'd be grateful. :-) Happy gaming; Laters...
Ramsey721 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Guess what game I'm playing.... Grim Fandango!!!!!!!! This game is so awesome. Pretty challenging, but hey, I'm up for challenges.
Samuel Dravis Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I finished Dreamfall the other day. It was really good, but so many cliffhangers! Right now I'm trying to play Oblivion. Mages are the best ever. Enemy? Oh, just whip up a little bit of a roaring, flaming nuclear (well, almost) FIREBALL!
