Played some Civ 4. Started an odd game on an archipelago, played it kinda like a civ rpg, where I chose techs for personal reasons rather than gaming my choices. Like...if I were running things, what would I find most important from the choices. Very interesting and I haven't been invaded yet, which is a good thing. No military units! Complete isolationist.
Going to have to insall that FfH thing.

I played Guitar Hero 2, and Sim City 4 over the weekend. I'm stuck at Psychobilly Freakout - Expert.
Ohya I rolled up the King and the Queen in the same katamari, in We Love Katamari. He said some funny stuff in the debriefing afterwards. 3600! I think I could get it a little bigger, but not much.

I also picked up GH II (360) over the weekend, and all i can say is:  My only complaint is the controller kills my wrist. Looks like my short-lived PGA Tour 07 career is going to take a hit. |

Ah, gratz, so far that one has eluded me. Stupid King, running off when I get big enough. |

Not really playing anything right now, looking around for something... Tried the Theatre of War demo but was very disappointed, has some promise but extremely poor modeling of cover/concealment and crappy UI/control scheme kills it. Rented Crackdown and that was good fun for a few days, it needs more missions and better AI though, jumping around for power ups etc.. got boring quick.
Read a neat Eugene Jarvis (Defender, Robotron 2084) interview on Gamasutra, he was raving about the indie gaming scene, been a while since I poked around in that stuff so that is something I want to look into again.
Not to veer this thread off course, but there was some talk of JRPGs in another thread, I've never played one, anyone know if there are some representative ones for either PC or 360?

Wrong format. Get a PS2 (and we can recommend tons) or get a SNES emulator and play FF3 (US) / Chrono Trigger. |

Upcoming, I've heard good things about Blue Dragon for the 360 from folks who enjoy JRPGs.
There are plenty of older JPRGs published to the PC format, but they really are best experienced in the original (which is to say, PS2). If you're desperate for one right now, the (in my opinion just 'pretty good') extremely highly touted FFVII is available for the PC.

I really can't endorse playing games originally meant for consoles on a PC. Unless it involves aiming and guns.

Sometimes I play old console games using GameTap on the PC. I wish they'd start making more discs with compilations of old console games.

I finished up M&M IV and V a couple days ago. It was glorious. I didn't realize how much I missed old school PC RPGs!
I'm going to try to finish up Odin Sphere over the next week. I just started Mercedes's (?) story. I'm really digging the game. After I'm done I'm planning on trying Dragon Quarter and hopefully playing that until Grim Grimoire is released.

I've tried starting Dragon Quarter about 500 times now.
Just can't do it.
And what kills me about it is I KNOW there's something awesome there.

On the PC, my main game seems to be STALKER. I've added the floating point engine mod, the realism mod and then modded it further (removed viewbob, given myself a ridiculously high weight limit and run a bit faster). It's a really good game, I'm at Pripyat now. I'm also playing a bit of DoW:Dark Crusade, I have finished the campaign with a few races now trying with another. DoW has been constantly played in one form of the other since it came out.
DS - Trying to get past the mission Pincer Strike for months now in Advance Wars, and keep failing. Also enjoying Age of Empires.

Enough said. First time playing it and I'm sucked in. Good stuff.

Phantasy Star Universe was surely an Xbox title that was converted to the 360 at the last minute. Surely.

Neg. PC title converted to 360. Universe was never planned for the Xbox. |

Yes, that mission was quite a bitch. Awesome game though. Also, I need to pick up AoE on the DS. I can get it cheap atm. |

While that is very odd, it does explain a lot. Lame graphics and somewhat clunky controls. Last night, Etrian Odyssey, and I beat a stalker. Two in a row, in fact, and it felt great. More Oblivion on 360. I am playing it differently than on PC. I am just going through the Mage Guild quests instead of exploring the countryside. |

KoTOR works well on PC, too. Not many conlsole-RPGs do, but that's one that I was happy with. Civ4 FfH.

Did the same thing. Played as a thiefy class on the PC, wandered around, beat the game, had a blast. My PC starts dying, I buy Oblivion for the 360, and I have to churn through the damn thing for achieve^H^H^H^Hdirected quest rewards. |

Well... I guess I will have to send you a Friend Request so you can keep track of my achievement score. I'm halfway to four digits!

Looks like "schild" goes on the Do Not Click list as well. Glad I did not make that MyGamerCard .sig image I was considering.

Yeah, I'm no longer a Rickroll virgin. I have no idea what it is about but I do know it is BAD. How could you do that to someone that had just played three hours of PSU?

GTA3 : Vice city. I was contemplating picking up liberty city stories, but am scared it will suck. I tried San Andreas; may or may not come back to it.
I am a shitty gamer.

I might play a weeks worth of Dragon Runners just because they opened up all the ultra uber items with this one week trial for non-subscribers. I deserve that shit.
