Animal Crossing: City Folk

Worth the purchase?

Been playing:

Madden 09
FIFA 09

Still not used to Wii controls on these games, just seems odd after years of button mashing to be all herky-jerky with the wiimote and nunchuck…

Sim City Creator

Wow, what a waste of money, seems to be lacking the features of the original Sim City (random maps for one) that I enjoyed on Sim City nearly 20 years ago on PC and even back on Sega Saturn days… …and I don't see what's new and shiny that those don't have…

Worth the purchase?

If you did not play AC on DS, then yes.  If you did, this will depend on how much you wanted that version to be on your TV, because that's basically what this is.

It's all the same stuff plus a city which so far as I can tell is a purgatory where some new and old functions are sent.  There is a barber and a fortune teller, both overpriced.  There is a theatre where you can learn a set of emotes.  There is an overpriced furniture store.  Redd has a place there but I haven't gotten in yet.  There is sometimes a shoe-shine but I haven't tried it to see if it is awesome or not.  Finally, there is an auction house that I have not managed to visit when it is in operation so I can't even tell you what it does.

If you didn't play the DS version, the big gameplay improvement in town is that Blathers can identify fossils himself.  Otherwise it is mostly tweaks to the item hunt.  There are more bees each day.  Buried items might be a pit trap.  Also furniture that holds things can now hold enormous numbers of items.  Finally, it looks better than the previous versions.

Meh, I dunno. Bored now. Madden, meh football dead for the interim. Fallout 3, too early for new playthrough. FfH2, been playing too much and need a break.

Loaded up FFvTR last night, still enjoy that one. Microwave and Supercollider ftw!

Debating GTA4 or SR2, but both look like they were abysmal ports to PC.

Good thing you have a 360 then.  Or do you have to give it back?

WoW and skate 2 for me.  I dislike putting Valkyria Chronicles on the backburner.  Will have to pick up again now that I've finished watching True Blood.

I'm playing Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction atm. Nice simple fun  awesome, for real

I have it until April, but I don't want to put money into games for it, especially when something like SR2 is $20 more for the 360 version. undecided

Back to EQ2 for a couple months before things thaw out and I can start working outside again.

If you have ANY OTHER CONSOLE, take those versions back and trade them in for the other versions. The Wii versions of all EA Sports titles are total dog shit when compared to the other consoles, and I say this as a Wii supporter.

On my iPod Touch I have been playing Pinball Dreams.  Yes that Pinball Dreams.  Same great game, now with prettier graphics.

And today I grabbed a couple games new at a 10-15 pricepoint:  Operation Darkness, Galactic Assault, Rocket Slime Adventures, The Red Star, and Midway Arcade Treasures 1.

(The latter means I now have less need to hook my X Box 1 up.  Stupid retrocollections not getting 360 BC.  So they can attempt to sell me the same shit I got for 20 bucks with 20 or so games in the mid 00s for 5 dollars a game now, and not even all of them.)

Don't have a 360 or PS3. Over the past year or two, gave away the PS2s and XBOX consoles… …entertained an idea of getting an XBOX 360 over the holiday but then shuttered the thought when considering all the extra peripherals that I would have to buy (i.e, extra controllers, wireless adapter, XBOX Live, new games) and instead spent the money on Wii games… …gaming budget is tight these days…

…did pick up Animal Crossing as I never owned a GC or DS… …put it back on the shelf a few times thinking how gay can this be, but actually am enjoying it, much to my surprise…

It's not as gay as a lot of things on Wii.  In some Wii games you dig up hearts and get happiness from making people feel good.  Although I cannot whack townfolk over the head with a net anymore, at least I am digging up bones and catching fish.  I'm not really into writing letters, and those assholes can't read anyway.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Angband.  Someone explain to me why I'm playing tile-based games on a 8800GTX.

Finally installed CoD5. Mostly playing single player and sticking with CoD4 multiplayer. Man there's some tough spots in single player. Freakin' sniper level in the first Russian campaign (guy in the window across the courtyard). Second part of that level (killing the general), that wasn't nearly as hard, though it really should have been. Overall I find the sp campaign very finicky.

Also WoW of course. And a few iPhone games:

Rolando (roco loco like game)
Fieldrunners (one of the better tower defense games to come along)
Mafia (an MMO)
Fantastic Contraption (a faithful replication of the web game)
Scoops (similar to tower blox)

Been playing Ninja Gaiden 2 which I picked up when Best Buy had it on sale for $10 bucks.  Somewhat repetitive and has some glaring camera and control issues.  Not bad, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price or even half price for it.

Also just picked up Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection which released this week.  Only had a little over an hour to play it so far, which means I haven't started on any of the more time intensive stuff like Phanatsy Star or Shining Force.  The fact that you have three save slots for each game, and that you can save anytime you want obviously makes it a lot easier to finish each game than it was back in the old days.  They don't make it too hard to unlock the bonus games, and they tell you exactly what you need to do to unlock each one.  In just a short time I was able to unlock the arcade versions of Shinobi, Space Harrier, and Altered Beast, as well as various interviews.

It's a good package for $30 although a lot of people are crying about the lack of lock on technology in the Sonic games (can't combine Sonic and Knuckles with the other games).  Not really a deal breaker for me as the Sonic games are at the bottom of the list for me in regards to why I picked this up.

About 1/4 through Ratchet & Clank, also started a 2nd play through of Fallout 3 - was initially planning to do an evil run but I just can't do it. I'm managing to stay at neutral karma by stealing every single thing I possibly can though  why so serious?

And just as I was about to hit "Post" Valkyria Chronicles came through the letterbox so that'll be me for a while now  awesome, for real

We should play the games we want to because we want to.  Not because of hype, our friends, or to fit into what everyone else says to play.

Funny. I'm running Auditorium on my Macbook Pro at home. I've had some issues with slowdown, but that's fixed by turning the game down to Medium quality.

Playing Lord of the Rings Online and enjoying the shit out of it. The game has really turned a mediocre launch into a good product. Also got Medieval 2 and Battlefield 2 in there somewhere, with some World in Conflict multiplayer and when it comes out Empire Total War.

Welp.  I have been even more random than usual due to buying new games but having very little time to play them.  Still managing to get good time in LotRO, working my alt(s) who may soon be my main(s).  Got it running on Win7 beta, did not reinstall any other games except Steam client.

Tried FusionFall but after four attempts I cannot get out of the tutorial.  Instead of being sent to wherever you go, I am disconnected and when re-entering the game I start at the beginning of the tutorial.  I'm of half a mind to go over to the CN offices and leave a nasty note since they are so fucking close.

Started Princess Maker 2 but I spent all my money in the first month because I did not realize the tuition amounts were per day.  I might start over, might not.

While working this past weekend I played a few levels of NinjaTown on DS.  It's a tower defense game but with ninjas instead of towers.  Funny and so far not insanely difficult.

Silent Hill: Homecoming on PS3 is good, so far anyway.  Made it to the second save point before I had to do something else.  Damn nurses, hiding in shadows and shit.

Unwrapped but not played: ChronoTrigger [DS], Valkyria Chronicles [PS3], Rune Factory 2 [DS].

Beat Bowser again in Super Mario World to watch the ending, so the boy could see where my "it's ten minutes until four" alarm comes from.

Lego Star Wars Complete [PS3], Lego Batman [360].  Still fun.

Castlevania: OoE [DS].  Still fun.
