Playing Games

Posted by jmtb02 - June 21st, 2008


I'm working overtime to get a bunch of games played before September. In case you didn't know, it's going to be another amazing fourth quarter in the gaming industry (soooo many good games again this Christmas). If you have a game on your wish list most likely it is coming out, sort of like last years amazing end-of-year. Spore, Fallout 3, Gears 2, Viva Pinata 2, Banjo/Kazooie 3, Little Big Planet, the list goes on.

So here is what I am playing right now on my various systems (I am REALLY A.D.D. when it comes to gaming and I rotate games constantly):

Wii: Mario Kart Wii, because I have some tough competition coming up when I see my dad next time (got him a wii for Christmas, he is becoming a Mario Kart guru swiftly)

PS3: Drakes Fortune... if you ever liked Indiana Jones this is as close as you can get to having a similar grave-robbing/bad-guy killing third-person fiesta.

PS2: Metal Gear Solid. It's really hard going back and playing MGS 1 on a PS2, because the graphics have not dated well. I am hoping to play MGS1-3 before #4.

XB360: Half Life 2. I feel bad that I never actually beat this game and given the amount of love good gamers give it I had to dig in.

DS: The World Ends with You. This psychotic DS RPG from the creator of Kingdom Hearts is a lot of fun, if not totally confusing and crazy at the same time.

PSP: Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. I play this only when I travel, but it's a lot of fun. It takes hours to beat each battle and seriously, I doubt I will finish this game this year.

Mac: Peggle. OH geez, Peggle is the most addicting casual game I have ever played. Nice job Pop-cap.

You are a fiend.

lol looks like your gonna be busy with your games.

Keep it up soldier.....

jay wuz ere. dirtyin ur wallz

Peggle? I thought that game was for bored housewives who don't appreciate good games.

Also, a Mac with any form of video games is a shock to me. (couldn't resist the badgering of a Mac.)

Check it out, honestly. It's cutesy and pretty but it's damn addictive and well put together. It's for PC as well.

Have you given up on beating Super Mario Bros 2 in under two minutes then? ;)

OR UNDER TEN MINUTES EVEN. FUCK.

I've gotten down to about 12-13 minutes. It's something that takes place over time after a lot of practice, I don't have the nerve to sit down for hours a day like some of the other olympic gamers out there. I'll play 2-3 games a day and then cut it off.

NERD

I love you

Haha, I know, i know. But, i was watching Yahtzee Croshaw review it with much lulz on how Pop Cap is evil and all that. And how you can play it for hours and when you're finished you discovered that you've been pronounced legally dead.

Mac? Ugh.

By the way, Neverball is a good generic Super Monkey Ball clone for the Mac. It's free also.

How far did you get in Half Life 2? I can fill ya in on the rest. Also, I like peggle, but I play PEGGLE EXTREME. All the fun of peggle with Orange Box themes.

I'm not very far. No spoilers please, its a FPS I'm actually enjoying for once :).

haha I play Final Fantasy Tatics Advanced whenever I travel....still need to get the ds one before I leave for canada

Good man.

I got a copy of the new Final Fantasy Tactics DS a little bit after lunchtime.

Then I looked at the clock, and it's 7:00 AM the following day. Good God those games are addictive.

are you still playing any of thoes games or have you beat them all ??

hey, i made a high quality review for your hedgehog launch and i hope you have the time to respond! thanks!

thats neat, also i just beat hedgehog launcher in 4 days!

>:( STUPID NG VOTERS and their SICK OBSESSION WITH BLOOD!

U were first in my books :) <3

(too bad that doesn't count for much)

I'll take you on in Mario Kart or SSBB if ya have it. :D

Keep up the GAME MAKING. :)

Is there going to be a Headgehog 2?
