What modern games are you playing? Daily check :)

Picked up and Started Shadow the Hedgehog for Gamecube yesterday, and It's loads better than I thought it would be. I'm actually enjoying the hell out of it! I just got one of the endings, and I'm working on finishing the rest of the levels, although I can't seem to finish the hero mission on Radical highway, where you gotta take out that alien ship....I just can't seem to wear the shield down at all. :/

Gah. I am stuck on the exact same bit! I don't want to go to gamefaqs for it, though, so I just keep hammering away at the shield, get annoyed, play some Sonic Rush instead, and come back to it. I agree with everything else you said as well.

Sk8land really is an awesome game. Classic Tony Hawk skating with excellent graphics, gameplay and as you mentioned sound. Glad your enjoying it as much as I am.

Do the controls feel kinda messed up to you? I can't figure out what it is, but while I like it, I haven't been able to jump into THAS like I did with THPS 1-4 and THUG. Weirdest part -- I don't even know what I don't like about the controls... just that they don't seem to be working for me.

Wierd. The controls seem fine for me but they took a little getting used to. I can't really pull off the big combos I could in the console versionsbut no problems otherwise. I got into the game because it has the classic feel, no walking, no driving, etc. Even though I beat the game in a day I really like it. It isn't a incredible game like Mario Kart but I think it is worthy of playing.

Playing:

Mario Kart DS (DS)
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (XBOX)
Burnout 3 (PS2)
Call of Duty 2 (PC)
Lumines (PSP)

I continue to play Baseball Advance on my Nintendo DS but I bought Animal Crossing: Wild World today and expect that to get the lioin's share of my DS' battery time...

Cant stop playing Need for Speed MW for xbox 360. 38 or 39% done with game

[AMG]

Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind - Xbox

My file size is only 70 blocks and the game is already crashing on me.

BloodRayne - Xbox

Impressed so far. This game is a lot more fun than I expected.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radience (GCN) Excellent, but no different from the GBA titles. They could have taken advantage of the Cube's hardware at least a little.

Elf Bowling 1&2 (DS) Please do NOT buy this game. It's so terrible in every conceivable way. I never thought it would be great, but I figured it might be another Zoo Keeper - by no means more than average, but good in spurts and worth the budget price. It's horrible. Basically, it's no more fun than those banner ads that ask you to shoot some target. The bowling game is just stopping a meter in the exact same place every time, and the shuffleboard is no better. Both are completely broken.

Of course, I'm probably the only one stupid enough to think this game would be worth the money in the first place.

Right now I'm playing some Simpsons: Hit and Run (PS2) and GTA: San Andreas (PS2). Soon (maybe this weekend) I'm going to get a start on some Dragon Quest 8!

Wading through Super Mario DS. Just going in to save Mario.

Playing Asphalt on DS. Awesome game thus far.

Playing the first Halo on Xbox. Man, did Halo 2 ever suck by comparison.

Am I the only person that isn't wowed by Mario Kart DS? I bought it, played a few races and haven't touched it since. I find it to be "meh" at best.

[Biff_McFresh]

Condemned: Still in the department store.
FFX-2: 14% complete
NFS:MW (360) Demo: Damn fun game, wish I had the cash to throw around at the moment to buy it.

I've played a whole bunch of Lunar Legend for the GBA lately. I don't know what to think of this game. I keep playing it, and it isn't bad... but by no means is it stellar either. I've heard the Lunar stories are awesome, but so far I've just had a lot of fun walking my characters around and powering them up. The storyline seems very mediocre.

I've also been playing Wario Ware, which I think I've beaten now. On one hand, a really fun game. On the other, a short game without too much replayability.

[Joker T]

Call of Duty (PC)
Call of Duty 2 (PC)

Played some multiplayer in both games a but this morning.

[Joker T]

Mario Kart (DS)
Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (DS)

[squidblatt]

Still playing Fire Emblem. I'm the sort who has to revert to a save every time any of my guys get killed, so it might take me awhile to finish.

Also playing GTA: SA. Say what you will, this is a great game despite the flaws. The GTA engine is really showing its age, though. Too bad I can't do any of the racing missions because I suck so bad. Also, while I'm at it, does anyone know where to a find the truck that allows you to do home invasions? They don't seem to be driving around. Maybe I'm just looking for the wrong type.

[Saabmeister]

GTA:SA and Tiger Woods 2004.

The Ridge Racer 6 madness continues. Played from 10pm last night to 4am this morning straight. I spent 2+ hours trying to beat the infamous duel race on Route #17 without success.. That had to be the hardest race I have ever completed in my life, even the F-Zero X courses on master difficulty seemed easier. That rocket-propelled bastard seems to have an infinite nitrous bar and is not ashamed to use it. I got so damn frustrated with it. I came within .2 seconds of beating him but never could. Got back up this morning and beat the bastard in less than 10 minutes, go figure, but you can bet your ass I saved that replay.

I then played a bunch of online games and got mollywhopped until I won 3 in a row, and shot my rank up from 152 to 108. The amount of registered players online went from 600 to 3500 after the game hit Japan. This game plays great online, even playing peeps from Japan, the game is smooth as silk online.
