Weekly Gaming Check (11/28 - 12/4)

[Takumaji]

I've been playing:

Neo Home
KoF2k

PS2
Neo Contra

slightly underrated game IMO, it's not as classic as Shattered Soldier but gameplay is tops. It's also not as hard as SS (except for one or two bosses).

GC
RE0

this game requires a lot more work than RE4, that's for sure, but it rewards the player with overall smooth gameplay (minus a few downright stupid control/interaction features) and stunning visuals + atmosphere. The co-op system works quite well... excellent stuff, but I feel that RE0 isn't exactly a walk in the park, at least for me. I'm not that good when it comes to action-adventures, even less so when there are RPG elements involved, and zer0 seems to have lots of them.

heh, and I totally forgot about the saving tape thing... man, that sucks!

Having said that, REmake will be the next RE on my list.

Oh, and I need some input on RE2 and 3 - good games? Worth buying?

Oh, and I need some input on RE2 and 3 - good games? Worth buying?

I've never played 3, although I do own it and plan on playing it.

RE2 is one my favorite games ever - I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. Of course, this was back in the days of the PS1, so people's expectations for games has probably changed a bit. Anyway, there's no difference really between RE2 for PS1 and RE2 for the GC, other than a graphical touchup.


I've been playing:

Xbox:
FarCry
3rd Strike

Actually found the time to play my PS2 during the week. Was pretty boring though. I need to buy some damn games.

Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee

I turned on my PSP to show a cousin and turned it back off. Need to buy some damn games...

PC

I cancelled but then the bastards finally put out a Hotfix with Armor stats on Jedi robes and I quickly came back on Thursday. Wish I didn't as it is still relatively sucky. But I wasted my $15 now.
