I've been playing Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, and I've been trying to write a review for it that's longer than two paragraphs.

I've also been reliving my loot whore days by playing PSO and Diablo 2 again. I've also played Deus Ex off and on. Yeah, lot of old stuff.

Oracle of Seasons.

Hello there!

Mmmm, why have i not finished Oracle of Seasons?  Or Ages?  Or Majora?  Oh, right... Majora gives me nightmares.

Still working on DWVIII, also Mario Golf.  Squeezing a few more drops out of We Love Katamari.  Still haven't rolled up the King, but his day draws near.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

After finishing Digital Devil Saga 1&2 back to back I'm now working on:

Dragon Quest VIII
WOW
and lately Star Wars Empire at War (I'll probably be bored of it in a week or two but right now it's fun as hell.)

EVE Online and poker. I would be playing a lot more BF2, but the latest patch seems to have introduced some sort of video lag/chop that makes it virtually unplayable. /sadf

Single-player Star Wars Battlefront II (on the PC - 1600x1200 32bit color FTW). I don't feel I'm competent enough for public servers, especially since SWBF2 leans more towards the lame OMGRUNRUNSHOOTSHOOTRUN school of FPS than the original. I don't have good reflexes.

I've also returned to a PBEM 4x space game I've played on and off for ten years.

Occasionally I start console RPGs (Star Ocean, Dark Cloud, Xenosaga), play them for one or two days, then forget about them. I'm a lousy console gamer. It may have something to do with having a one year-old who like to press buttons and yank cables whenever we leave the entertainment center open.

Wireless controllers are a must if you have a toddler.  I also have my stuff inside cabinetry and generally out of reach, which you can't really do with cords.  The Logitech models are good, solid devices.

Yes, and I feel very dirty because of it.

I would feel much more dirty if the game hadn't actually improved about 3 billion times since beta. I'd put it real close to WoW in the fun factor, though it could use a bit more user-friendliness applied.

Ten minutes in to Wild Arms 4, I knew it sucked beyond my expectations.  I stabbed it with a stabby look over and over,  and will probably never play it again.  I might have to actually open Grandia III.  I can see the fear in it's eyes already.  I give it long, unblinking stares.  It shrinks, trying to blend and become unnoticable.  It won't look me in the eyes.

Goddamnit. MS Saga shouldn't be fun. I mean, comeon, there's a fucking unicorn on the cover. And the MS stands for "Mobile Suit" as in Gundam. But you know what, it's a traditional JRPG with sweet sweet sweet customization of your chibi robot. Mines all white with a big black spiky shoulderpad and a big green blinky visor eye thing. And it's pretty goddamn cool. It's also sweet to shoot tanks.

Basically, good diversion if you just waded through something unnecessarily long like DQVIII. This game looks to be about 40 vs. the 85-100 hour long game there. Oh, and it bears positively zero resemblance to ANY gundam game of the past. It plays more like a Enix title than anything else (combat is DQVIII style with a tension type system). Essentially, it's DQ combat without the suck and infinite more customization.




a Zaku II approaches!

Edit: And if you're wondering, yes, I still hate Gundam with the passion of a thousand suns. But Bandai managed to spit out a fun game here by throwing away it's entire past. Oh and the story is, without any other words more deserving, 'teh unoriginal suq'... but then, so was DQVIII and everyone gobknobbled that.

Some unhealthy urge has driven me back to playing Starcraft. Maybe it's all the flight time in EVE. But yea, i've been on a three-year long quest to find a new, advanced rts game to replace the habit, and it seems that i have failed me. Bloody Protoss.

Playing BF2, CoD 2 and Rome: Total War on the PC atm as well as WoW and some DAoC (lowbie BG's are fun).

Xbox is sitting mostly idle, occassional Forza Motorsport and i really will get around to finishing Jade Empire one day.

PSP has been a major let-down, playing a little Lumines here and there adn just got Star Wars Battlefront (PSP) as a gift so i'll check that out.

Well, bored of BF2, beat CoD2 and Rome: Total War (great game though!). Got to 60 with 2 characters in WoW and got my rogue fully kitted in Tier 1/2 gear when i realized i neither have the time nor the inclination to raid. Daoc always wears of in the lvl 30 BG. Donated the xbox to xmas charity.

So now - EVE has grabbed me pretty hard. It's complex, unforgiving and big and different. So far i still like it a lot and it satisfies my MMOG addiction. Other than that, got Pirates! from Direct2play - it's ok. Not evolved enough from the original but still an ok timewaster.

PSP still a waste of bag space. Xbox 360 at least has shiny fast cars (Project Gotham 3) and beautiful boobs (DoA4). Not too mention Kameo, which im actually enjoying. But EVE owns the majority of my gaming time right now easily.

Speaking of marketing, we're out of milk.

Thank you for succinctly saying what I've been trying to formulate for a while now.  Started the 14 day trial earlier this month and knew by day 7 that I had a winner and began kicking myself for not giving EVE a try way back when.  Stupid, stupid stupid.

Sans hdtv and pc for a few days. Have the xbox and gc at the new house. Threw in a copy of Prince of Persia sands of time for the xbox, fun game. Nice art style and music. Crappy save system. No idea where I got it, either, people keep giving me old xbox games, I have a box of them. Most suck, but this one is win.

Still playing WoW. I made 70 and am doing some raiding and instancing with my guild. WoW is just so sticky.
Little bit of Hellgate London on the side. I've got a new Marksman that I play online for teh lulz, and tried a Blademaster offline. Just tinkering with it, though.

Dammit. I tried to get into Homeworld 2, since I loved the first one, but it's just not as good as the original. I pooped out at about mission 3 or 4 I think? The one where you try to rescue the shipyard. That mission is the pits, and I just can't seem to get the hang of it. So I lost interest in the campaign.

And I'd like to pick up Sins of a Solar Empire, since I dug the demo, but don't have the funny money to blow on it now.

I'll try a reverse-chronological-order deal, starting with...

Assassin's Creed, 360.  I really like this game a lot, and for many of the reasons that most other people didn't like it.  The slow pace, collecting flags, no wacky monster enemies, climbing towers.  Gives me the impression that it's a better Thief: Deadly Shadows, but not that much better.  It just took out the bullshit found in T:DS.  I also smell elements of Zelda.

GTAIV, 360.  This is our "couple time" game, so I generally get some time in most nights.  My wife gets annoyed at me shooting people who run into my car, or people who yell things at me, or gas canisters, or cops while I'm supposed to be doing a mission.

EVE Online, PC.  Reactivated an account, learning new systems added since I last played.  Pew pew.

Rune Factory, DS.  I do some of this while waiting for the water to boil for dinner.

Mana Khemia, PS2.  Atelier Iris 3 but better.

Disgaea, PS2.  Just some more grinding.

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, PC.

Peggle, PC.

EDIT: Lego Indiana Jones, 360.

Arx Fatalis, PC.  I'll finish this damn thing one day.

Ninja Gaiden II, 360.  Hard, even on easy.

Super Mario Galaxy, Wii.  Chipping away at the stars, slowly.

Boom Blox, Wii.  Explosions are fun.

I started playing WoW again about 2 weeks ago.  I've only put a couple nights in so far and I think I might enjoy it again.  Maybe I'll get to 70 this time.

I've played the fuck out of Diablo 2 over the past month.  My frenzy barb is 58 and still climbing.  I had an IK helm drop a few nights ago.  I was quite happy.

I'm eagerly awaiting Disgaea 3 and Mercs 2.

Most enticing review of Assassin's Creed I've heard.

My fiancee yells at me when I get out of the car in GTA:SA. Dude needs an iPod or something.

I was playing Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic last week, but I don't spend any time at the apartment now that it's just a storage shed. People say it's a tough game, but I turtle and minmax like a mofo. Love that game.

I (we) have been enjoying Killing You Some Undead two ways: the lazy, easy way in Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (co-op mode); and the attention-paying, hard(er), way in D&D 4th Edition. I'm ashamed to admit that Dark Kingdom is slightly (ever-so-slightly) more fun because I can lounge hard and brainlessly button-mash instead of having to be smart and problem-solve.  swamp poop

I haven't really touched Cooking Mama II (DS) much, for some reason, but feel like I should. I also really wanna play Harvest Moon hard for an hour or so whenever I see mugwort for sale in the produce section of the Asian grocery store - I think it's in season right now.
