[unwinddesign]

I've been takin' names and owning people in Age of Empires III. I've only lost like 2 out of my last 15 games. Can't touch this.

Goddamn this game is addicting. The 360 feels neglected...

Resident Evil 4 (GC)

Nanostray and Space Invaders Revolution for the last week (I've let the Dogs alone for now - hope they aren't dead )

[Simply Dave]

For the last 2 days I have played nothing but our Nintendo DS that we got the kids for Christmas. Holy moly, I had no idea it would be this much fun! I wish I had bought this system a lot earlier now.

I thought playing over the Wi-Fi thing was going to be super complicated. I was prepared to read the manuals, find help online, reread the manuals, pull hair out, ect. In about 5 strokes of the stylus I was done. Whoa! That easy? Yes! Literally in 2 minutes I was already playing Mario Kart against some Japanese dude!

So, yeah, the kids and I have been taking turns racing peeps from all around the world the last 2 days. Win, lose..it doesn't matter much to us. The games always seem close and are always a blast. Nothing beats the feeling of saving the turbo mushroom for the final lap and propelling into victory at the precise time!

We're going to try Animal Crossing next and try visiting some other towns.

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

Dead Or Alive 4 and Amped 3.

[2Dskillz]

Animal Crossing (DS) - I never played the gamecube version. I never realized the addiction I was getting into getting it portable.

Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls (I&II) (GBA) - They said that they fixed many of the balance issues and made magic more usable. After playing the original so much it has turned into a bit of a cake walk, but the new music is beautiful and the gameplay is still what made FFI great.

Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) - I wanted this since release, and I have not been disappointed at all. I only have 2 more colossus to defeat, that and the guilt of killing such majestic creatures with which to deal.

[le geek]

Tried out Rygar for PS2. It's dated and some of the textures are chunky, but the boss fights are pretty cool...

Also playing Resident Evil REmake on Cube. This is better than expected. They really changed it up, and the graphics are awesome...

Cheers,
Ben

Drum roll please...

I have set a goal for myself to try to complete before the New Year. It is:

Now, let's see how I did!

- Complete Fable

The day I posted this, we rearranged my living room and I couldn't find my Xbox wireless controller anywhere. I could've played with a wired one, but it doesn't reach the couch now and with two new kittens, I thought that was a bad idea. So Fable is not completed.

- Complete Lunar Legend

I got really far into this, to what I believe is the final dugeon before the big battles... and I can't figure out how to get out. I spent over two hours walking around trying to figure it out. So far, nothing. I'm going to have to use a walk through to get through it.

- Complete Paper Mario: 1000 Year Door

Um... damn, I didn't do this either

- Complete Nanostray (levels played through, this is. One to go!)

I played Nanostray like five times to try to beat that level, but I haven't beat the end guy. I'll have to figure out what I'm doing there. Great game though, although again a little short.

On the other hand, I did complete some games over break, and play some others:

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness (GBA) - It should've divided each of the levels into two, as it was 13 LONG levels. Some with "complete under" goals of more than 15 minutes... and that's doing it quickly! Most of these levels had middles, so they could've easily been divided into two. Not as good as the Dreamcast game, but still fun.
Gumby and the AstroBots (GBA) - It was a great platformer, but it was way too short. It had a great mine cart level, a bunch of good platforming puzzles, but a halfway decent player would be able to beat it in about two hours. Collecting the ice creams is not difficult and adds zip in the way of replay. Since I got it cheap, I don't feel too ripped off. And heck, I like Gumby.
Batman Begins (GBA) - I LOVE THIS GAME. It is extremely difficult, the levels require tons of memorization... but damn, I could play this game for hours and hours and hours. I'm at 58% complete right now. On one hand, it's frustrating -- the levels are REALLY long, there are no power ups, no health refills, and no checkpoints in the levels -- but the action, which can be either stealth or platformer / beat-em-up depending on your style (although the game really balances the fact you need to use both) is excellent. By far, the best EA game I have bought in ages, and worth every penny I paid for it. I don't know if I'll be able to beat it -- the last level took me at least an hour to get through, and even then it was really hard -- but it will be fun trying.
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (GCN) - I still haven't completed this, although I'm getting closer. I need a few hours to just sit down with it and do it. I played for about an hour.
Extreme Ghostbusters (GBA) - I love this, I hate this. Love the characters / cartoon, love the non-boss levels, hate that you can't continue but can use really long alpha-numeric level codes instead and that I have no clue what to do with the first boss enemy I get too.
Sprung (DS) - It's a choose your own adventure for the DS with some sexual overtones! Um, it isn't that great, but it makes you feel like you should be able to complete it. For the price I paid ($7.00, with box and instructions), worth it. For $15+, no way.

That's it for now. I'm hoping to do more Batmaning and Sprung-ing today

[Joker T]

SSX: On Tour (PSP)

[Joker T]

Been playing Counter Strike: Source and Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble.

[donkeykong1]

I've been playing Zelda The Windwaker for the past week and a half. The funny thing is I have had it for two years and had never opened it until Christmas Eve.

[notoriusvig]

Loaded (PSX)

Bought this at gamestop along with Ridge Racer V. It's nowhere near as good as I remember it being 9 years ago. I beat the first two levels and gave up. I also have Re-Loaded sitting around here someplace but I'm not exactly itching to find it now

Viewtiful Joeouble Trouble (DS)

I'm still loving this game. I'm up to Episode 3-4 now and it never gets old

Sonic Rush (DS)

Got to Zone 6 and couldn't beat it yet. The level design in this game really frustrates me but it's still a fun game

[unwinddesign]

Played around 6 hours of Age of Empires III multiplayer today. Goddamn, I was gettin' pissed. I think I went about 40-60 (win-loss), but argghhhh.

Rushing in 6 minutes is dirty.

[devilman]

For the last 2 days I have played nothing but our Nintendo DS that we got the kids for Christmas. Holy moly, I had no idea it would be this much fun! I wish I had bought this system a lot earlier now.

That echoes my sentiments too - I've a lot of catching up to do!

As well as DS games (Mario Kart & Animal Crossing mainly) most of my gaming time has been taken up with World Snooker Championship 2005, despite me being unable to get past a third round match in any tournament. What with snooker and cricket games, I think old age is definitely setting in!

Also been dabbling in Bicycle Casino too.

[segagamer4life]

Finally going back to condemmed almost halfway through

update: Just completed Condemned, nice, what a game, and the final LEVEL.... WOAH.... that's all I will say about that... well done, sega and monolith. Well done.

[Joker T]

Trying out Need for Speed Underground Rivals on my PSP. Not a great game so far but it's okay.

Also been playing:
King Kong (XBOX)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (XBOX)
Counter Strike Source (PC)
Call of Duty 2 (PC)
DOOM 3 (PC)

[goatdan]

I was home sick yesterday, so I spent most of the day gaming. I'm still going on the Sims 2 for the DS and I played through a ton of Paper Mario on the GameCube and Fable on the Xbox, as well as getting out of the dungeon I was stuck in on Lunar Legend (GBA). Thank gosh too, as I totally wouldn't have figured that one out.
