Yoshi's Island for the SNES

 

Those floating balls that make Yoshi trip out are the greatest thing EVER

 

The game isn't better than Super Mario World tho

What am I playing right now?

 

Uh...well...I'm trying to play through Super Smash Bros. again after I deleted all the hard work that I had ever accomplished on that thing for my sister who would rather put Luigi's Mansion on there. *Sigh* I still have a lot more to get done on that.

I.. suck at this game. I've played the first race ten times now and I've come in last each time!

It helps if you buy the right car at the beginning. I went with the Audi TT Quattro. Easy to drive, cheap to upgrade and pretty fast for a class F car.

 

Myself, I have completed every race in the game except three: The Pass of Good Hope, The Narducci Loop and Tantalus. I can probably get the gold from the first two, but.. Tantalus seems impossible. You're supposed to drive a class A car (Enzo Ferrari, McLaren F1, Koenigsegg type of cars..) down a mountainside. The road is like a serpentine and it's full of traffic in both directions. You have very little time to do it on and the race is damage sensitive. By that I mean that the car has 100 "hitpoints" and if you either drive outside the tarmac or even nudge another car, you lose hitpoints. Once the car has zero the race is over. One tiny nudge on another car and you immediately lose 20.. IMPOSSIBLE!

 

Oh, and I still have to drive a bunch of whiny supermodels around the island, but those missions are so boring I just don't have it in me to finish them.

FEAR demo.

 

It's a manic adrenaline rush. It's creepy and the physics are awesome (best performance ever by a tumbling corpse).

 

It's also a pure shooter -- the methamphetamine of games. So now I know what addicts play. Glad I got that out of my system.

I live in Las Vegas, but have no idea how to play poker.

I have two elder brothers and, during my upbringing, my family spent many a long weekend on our boat playing cards (think of it as equivalent to watery camping), primarily 500. I was a blackjack croupier for a few years (whilst I was studying at university), so I have an interest in the underlying mathematics of card games, as well as an interest in psychology. Both of these I can appreciate with a game of poker.

 

I recently downloaded and tried the Dawn of Magic demo. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a poor man's version of Diablo.. or something. With what has to be the worst predetermined characters ever! You get to choose from an old, ugly man, a fat woman and a few others. Horrible. The game itself doesn't feel very coherent (quests and story is weird..), but it might be a fun time sink for a while. It's always fun to beat up on giant ants and stuff in the woods!

Maybe it's an ironic post-modern deconstruction of the RPG genre?

Diablo. Time to go back and play a classic.

Grim Fandango

The Longest Journey/STALKER/Fallout 2/Neverwinter Nights 2

 

I usually play 3-4 games at once and finish 1 of them.

HITMMAN Blood money. Im at the level with the Goth club, where i have to kill Ketlyn the double agent, and some other goth mask wearing dude.

Hit man blood money came with my graphics card. pretty sweet game in my opinion. That level is pretty cool but it took me forever because I was stuck in the "heaven" part and didn't know to go into the garage and go to the bottom until after searching forever. I like the part where you duel that guy in the dark too. Very sweet.

Sounds like you got the upper hand on them.

Man this is so horrible how I can't use video hardware acceleration on Grim Fandango and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2

Nice

Medal of Honor : Vangard (PS2)

 

Short, easy, same thing as all the other MoHs, even the music.

 

12-15 missions, 3 of which begin with 82nd Airborn actually jumping out of a plane.

 

 

Not a bad game, well made, well produced, found one major bug in the very last 5 minutes of the very last mission when it fails to load a cutscene and freezes. Lame.

 

Overall the best word to describe it is Ordinary.

 

7/10

 

I feel your pain. I couldn't help but like it, perhaps because it doesn't take itself too seriously and, unlike say... FFVIII, has characters that are actually likeable (?!? ). I can see me completing this and never playing it ever again though. How far in are you?

I'm not that far yet (10 hours or so, unlocked 5 achievements, I think), but I'm having trouble getting any further, in spite of still finding the game enjoyable. I keep getting these damn disc read errors, even though the disc is in pristine condition (ie: not a single smudge, let alone a scratch). It's the only game that's doing it to me too, so I'm not ready to admit my 360 is dying just yet, but it's really frustrating even so.

Mortal Kombat.

 

Flawless vistory!

Call of Duty 2 .. those games are so intense that it almost hurts!

I BEAT IT I BEAT IT!!

 

The ending to HITMAN Blood Money was great. umm, i don't want to give it away for the people that haven't beaten it yet.

I agree. One of the (if not THE) best endings I've ever seen in a video game. Just plain awesome.

MVP Baseball 2005. I'm half way through season #9.

I'm currently playing Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer. Fun indeed.
