Deraldin Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I'm currently playing Elite Beat Agents for the DS. I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun playing a DS game yet. The game rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Evil Genius was kind of fun for a while, but it lacked something. All that individual tagging of enemies was a pain, too. One thing I did like tho, was how you could undo your digging if you wanted, and rebuild rooms/areas w/out having to start from complete scratch. Even if it was a cheesy option, the way the game was designed I can understand why they did it, and I appreciated it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I played the demo and thought it was promising, though the available secret base equipment wasn't enough to overcome my ennui brought on by the repetitive gameplay: I felt like I was trying to empty a leaky boat with a sieve.

LadyCrimson Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I'm a lazy gamer. I don't think the wii is for me. And meta, yeah, it became repetitive early on. The supposed super henchmen were also pretty useless. I would have preferred if EG had had several "levels" instead of leaving you on one island for so long.

Surreptishus Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Pfft... playing Deus Ex again. Just touched down in Paris before the catacombs. This is my least favourite part of the game. Anybody know of any decent mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't overly impressed, but I could see multiplayer bowling being a fun drinking game. Oh, and GOW. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Cantousent Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Still playing NWN2, but I took a short break and played FEAR Extraction point. A little more of the horror element this time, but still more of an FPS than a horror title. Hell, Painkiller and Alice had scarier moments.

LadyCrimson Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Majesty...the Monks were calling me.

LadyCrimson Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Which? Majesty or Evil Genius? Regardless, I don't think either are the one you're thinking of. Majesty's a 6+ year old RTS and Evil Genius wasn't set in an alternate reality - more like a bizarre fantasy super-spy-from-the-60's setting. “Things are as they are.

Krookie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Call of Duty 3. Just a little something to hold me over until Brothers in Arms 3 comes out in March. It'll also get a lot of playing time when I get Live setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I'm playing the "OMG the DS stylus makes my wrist severely cramp up after an hour!" game. Unfortunately the game is fun enough that I have to force myself to stop. Just one more round through. I can beat my previous score, it'll only take a minute... On top of that I think I've started to hallucinate now. I'm seeing coloured circles whereever I focus that slowly shrink towards a point.
