Weekly Gaming Check (12/05 - 12/11)

[Takumaji]

Had slightly more time to play games this week due to problems with my back...

Neo CD
Soccer Brawl
Twinkle Star Sprites

PS2
Twinkle Star Sprites: Le Petit Princesse
Homura (great shmup, I'm liking it more and more)
Resident Evil 4

Yeah... last week I had it up for sale but nobody wanted it so I kept it and decidet to give the new extra mission Separate Ways another go... ...and lo and behold, I really dig it now. It's some sort of playable super spoiler that not only is fun to play, the designers also put a lot of thought in it - who rang the church bell in chapter one? How did the elevator down to the village boss's hut get activated before Leon approached the location? What's the deal with Umbrella and Ada's plans? Find out once and for all in Separate Ways...

Oh and on a sidenote, Mercenaries in the PS2 version is a slowdown fest.

GC
Resident Evil Zero

Being a masochist probably helps a lot here... excellent game, but perhaps a bit too much for ol' Tak...

Well it were one of the things I were most excited about before getting xbox......I've only played the very first section, which was quite excellent in that it's much more of an atmospheric adventure story game than FPS (tho there are FPS elements afaik). Bit of a strange sci fi horror so far about a cult or something, your character is rather scared and the controller rumbles excessively to his heart beat, seems you can calm him down by focussing/breathing...not figured it out yet. I havnt had to *fight* anything yet, just some standard open ddoor with key, operate something with item etc..

Interesting for sure.

[Average Joe]

Ah, totally forgot about that one... how do you like it?

Yeah, I've been seriously considering getting another X-Box to play this.

Read some pretty good reviews, but even if it didn't turn out that great, any game with Cthulhu in it is worth playing to the end at least.

On-topic:

DS
Mario Kart (taken a big back seat to Animal Crossing)
Animal Crossing (Fish, fish, dig, dig, chop, chop... why's this so much damn fun?)

PS2
DQVIII (60+ hours in)
FFXII Demo (Love.This.Game.)

 

[Mark of the Wolves]

World of Warcraft (pc)

How much do you like this game? I'm looking for another MMORPG and this will be the most likely choice if I decide to play a game with a subscription. Guild Wars being the main other option.

PSP

Super Mario World
Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Deminsion

All that Revolution talk made me yearn for a time when I loved Nintendo games. And my favorite game on the SNES besides Chrono Trigger is SMW so I played it.

PC

Star Wars: Galaxies

 

[Takumaji]

I'm a HPL fan so I thought I should give CoC on Xbox a try, I'm not expecting too much of it tho because I've yet to see a game or movie that manages to capture the true HPL spirit.

Nice sig, btw.

band brothers 4 player.. too good, everyone plays normal mode but I'm on pro and still beat em \\o

mario kart ds , local 4 player multiplayer, and online.

geh need animal crossing

apart from that .. hmm , not a great deal really, a bit of metal slug, as I said in another thread I only play one 'big' game at a time, and I reeeeallly need to finish metroid prime , gah, so i can play re4 again, its calling me , but I can't play it yet. havent read that 280page re4 guide/book thing that i bought last week yet, either.

 

[Phoenix Down]

PC
Call of Duty 2 (So far I'm disappointed in this, really just feels like a prettier version of the original with very little changes. Also feels like it's been dumbed down for consoles, and the PC version Multiplayer has a lot of cheating going on...)

NINTENDO DS
Animal Crossing (Never played the GC version but so far I'm liking it a lot. It's perfect for me right now as I wanted something different)

Mario Kart DS (Got the 1-star rank for online play, much <3)
