What game/s are you Playing? Daily check :)

Burnout Revenge (XB) - I could never get tired of this game, although I wish I could do multi-player with some other people. I just spend hours unlocking new events and cars.

Destroy All Humans 2 (XB) - I just picked this one up at Blockbuster yesterday, so I haven't spent much time with it, but I'm waiting for it to get interesting.

Geometry Wars Galaxies (DS) - Stylus control sucks on this game and using the d-pad and buttons makes my hands cramp after a while.

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) - The stylus control is pretty cool, but they should have had a traditional control scheme as well.

I finally beat the Iron Giant in Final Fantasy III on DS, but I don't feel very accomplished for doing so. I did end up caving in and using the team that everyone recommends, except I used a Sage instead of a Devout (but used it in the exact same way). I'm sure it's possible to use a different party, but I already spent around 20 hours just gaining experience and job levels. I didn't want to put in another tedious 20 hours getting my characters up to level 99 so they could survive without the two bards constantly doing defensive songs and using their percentage-based attack to do damage (with is the only really decent way to do damage, since even the best melee characters still do piddly damage). So, yeah, it may not be impossible to beat him in another way, but it's sure as heck not viable in a reasonable manner. Typical Final Fantasy bonus boss for ya.

For some much more satisfying gaming, I got back to Lagoon on Super Nintendo after ignoring it for weeks. It may not be the best adventure game ever, but I'm enjoying exploring and mapping places out. I completed the Dwarf Cave and found the Mint in Siegfried Castle. If I keep going at this rate, I bet I'll have it beat within the next couple days.

I am one of the few people who love Lagoon. Its like a bad YS ripoff yeah, but I liked the story and the music. I just wish I could find a complete copy.

Best of luck. While I love the game Lagoon, eventually you get to a point where the game engine simply cannot handle the graphics. This leads to everything slowing down to the point you can barely get an attack off - and after waiting your turn for your attack frame to begin, once your sword swings the enemies are elsewhere. The only way I was able to plug on was by using a turbo controller and holding down the attack button, eventually causing a strike somewhere near when I wanted it to happen. However I got too frustrated and put it away, which is what I think I always do with Lagoon around that one point.

Once you get to that area (and you'll know, it's solid slowdown, not just a little here and there like elsewhere sometimes) let us know if you get through it. Perhaps I'll try to give it another go next week after California Extreme.

...or perhaps I have a bad copy of the game... somehow I remember going farther years ago when renting it... hmmm... I really must investigate.

Wow, that's really odd. I just beat the game today, and I can't say I had anything like that happen. What area was it that gave you trouble? It's strange because, for the most part, there's not much movement in the game that would warrant consistent slowdown. Most of the backgrounds are pretty static, and I only noticed a little slowdown here and there if I got a bunch of enemies on the screen at once. I always figured that if a game is defective it most likely wouldn't function at all or would do something wrong all throughout. It's weird that it would only cause one specific problem in one specific area. I wonder if it's possible that there was more than one print run. Maybe they caught a problem in the first batch and then released a fixed version. Though, Kemco was a pretty rinky-dink company and Lagoon was definitely no big-name title, so I kind of doubt they would do more than one print run, regardless of a problem. Then again, there were fixed versions of Card Fighters and Harvest Moon released for DS, and SNK Playmore and Natsume aren't exactly big companies. I don't know, it's an interesting mystery. It's a shame that your cart is giving you grief, though.

Anyway, I don't really understand the intense hatred that the game gets. It's not great, but I had fun with it. Really, the only flaws are the bad scrolling and the combination of the tiny sword and iffy hit detection in boss fights (I don't mind the sword the rest of the time since magic is an option). The sword wouldn't have been a problem if they just left it like it was in the X68000 original - always held out. Slashing with that tiny thing can be problematic, but it is kinda fun to just jam on the button like mad. And like pretty much everyone says, the music is pretty dang awesome. I especially like the fact that for much of the game, every area has its own distinct song.

Orcs & Elves and Picross, both for the DS. Orcs & Elves is kind of frustrating at some points.

Been playing Metal Slug Anthology on my Wii today. Yesterday i played SMB and Smb2 a little.

[Smashed Brother]

Lately, I've been playing...

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (PS2) - Fantastic tables and great physics, not to mention incentive to keep playing as each table has its' own set of goals to try and accomplish. Very addictive, actually.

MTV Music Generator 2 (PS2) - I suppose that it's not really a 'game', but I 'play' it more than any other title that I own. My tracks would make P. Diddy choke on his Cristal (yeah, that was terrible...)

Every now and then I'll get the urge to delve into my back catalogue of games that I've purchased but never played. So, recently I tried out...

Warcraft 2 (Sat) - Took me awhile to get accustomed to this game because I was weened on the Command & Conquer style of play. It has some funny voices, though!

Hyper 3-D Pinball (Sat) - This was pleasantly surprising. There are about 7 tables to play on, each rendered in hi-res. The tables themselves, although fake, are really well-done with a lot to do on them. Too bad that the physics are a little.... off.
