THE RED REVOLUTION!!! OH NOES.
Update:
https://img120.imageshack.us/img120/...lution2jm1.jpg
It has gotten worse.:sweatdrop:
Anachronox is turning out to be something of a gem. I haven't made it very far yet, but am loving the stylised graphics, magnificent character and tight plot and script. It's almost like a combination of an adventure game with a more Japanese-style rpg thing, and it's excellent.
Lets see...
Still playin AOEII and Rome
Just beat Kingdom Hearts II (I was bored, so I played my sisters game)
Mercenaries, again, agin, again, and again (I think ive beat it over twenty times now...)
What game is that?Quote:

I agree, even after 1.2 the game appears to be buggy inside. And if the Tilted Mill forums tell me anything it appears game speed heavily affects walker mechanics.Quote:

Still, personally I find the tutorial campaign to be terrible and other maps improve over that. They are so small that you can't build anything meaningful in them.
Sounds like I need to try out CC:R, then. Who knows? Maybe I'll like it.Quote:

HoI2:DD with All the Russias mod. It was quite unexpected actually I was at war with Poland and Ukraine then the Proletariats rose up :sweatdrop: and it all went downhill from there. Finland wanted land and another country did. Then Siberia wanted it's independence it was horrible. :wall:Quote:

Odin Sphere for the PS2- The artwork in this game is truly amazing. Best I've seen for a 2D game. The voice-acting is also well above par and you have the option to switch to the original Japanese if you wanted to. The fighting is relatively straight-forward, but the game gets some depth with it's alchemy system where you find/grow plants and mix various potions. A very engrossing game. :2thumbsup:
Lunar Kights for the DS- This is a game in a sci-fi setting where the world is dominated by a race of vampires. You can alternate between 2 characters, a solitary sword-wielding vampire hunter who's attacks are powered by moonlight and a rookie Guild Gunslinger who shoots a gun powered by the Sun's energy to defeat vampires.
The vampires have installed a device over the Earth that filters sunlight and allows them to control much of the weather. Before you can completely destroy a boss you have to first defeat them, then seal them in a coffin which you then must drag out of earth's atmosphere using your spaceship to an orbiting satellite that you use to focus concentrated sunlight on them, thus destroying them for good. Most of the game takes place from an isometric, overhead viewpoint- but the spaceship sequences use a 3D perspective and make exclusive use of the touchscreen and actually can get pretty frantic in the heat of battle. The game also makes copious use of anime-style cut scenes (for the DS anyhow).
Replaying Oblivion and now I would like to get some mods for it.
What mod would be better? Francesco's or OOO?
Patrician III. It is a trading game set in northern Europe during the heyday of the Hanseatic League. Looks interesting so far.
I personally use Francesco's with a few of his optionals tacked on.Quote:

Dark Rose Armor (much love for the sexy light armor!)
White Rose Armor (for ladies who feel a little too pure for Dark Rose)
Harvest - Flora Lite (removes and/or replaces the textures of flora when you gather them)
Harvest - Containers (modifies the look of containers when you use them)
Oblivion Cats (tabby cats ftw!)
I don't know what to play! I'm thinking of getting Tekken 5 but I can't find it in shops anywhere and buying online can be a hassle. Worth it?
Certainly at the start, yes, but it does work; when there is combat (more of that now) it's also good. Nice minigames, great humor and plot, amazing use of the Quake 2 engine for lovely graphics... just got to the bit where...Quote:

Finished Magical Starsign a few days ago. Fun, and very silly.
Today I returned to God of War. I'm very close to the end of CivCity, just a few more scenarios left if I guess rightly. FFVI is on hold for a bit; my random battle tolerence has reached its limit once again.
Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday
Playing Finland, Germany, Soviet Union, Italy, and the UK.
Never seen France invade Germany that early.Quote:

Replaying Planescape: Torment, but spells have a nasty habit of bluescreening, something I never experienced when playing it on Win98. Does anyone else have this problem with P:T on XP?
Still HOI2:DD (waiting for Kaiserreich final and 1914 1.0, or at least 0.8), but also Red Orchestra.
Somebody was shooting at me from behind with a pistol, and all I had was a panzerfaust, so I turned around, shot from the hip, and...

World in Conflict beta
Medieval 2
hehe, I'm doing custom games to get used to it atm. I play as zerg mainly because I last longer(thanks to zerglings lol). I was really good on the N64 version and could kick some serious tail (mainly my brothers) and was very good. Then I see that Starcraft 2 is coming out so I decided to play the first ones (which I discovered I had) and see how good/horrible I really am. Lets just say I won't be playing online anytime soon.Quote:

Picked up Heroes of Might and Magic V again. I shelved it about a month after release to wait for patches. It's now in quite good shape, and the AI isn't as dreadful as it used to be. I'm loving the way I can slap everything on full and have it play perfectly on my new PC; on my old one it was strictly half settings and jerkiness on busier maps. It looks very pretty, and I don't have to wait so long for the AI to think. Only done two missions so far, so I've a long way to go before I catch back up to where I was.
Now I'm back at work I've started a new portable game for those lunchtimes when I can't be bothered to lug in whatever heavy book I'm reading. The lucky choice is :drum roll: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow on the DS. So far it's a worthy enough sequel to the GBA's Aria of Sorrow. Having a choice of the map or the vital stats and enemy details on the second screen makes such a difference; it cuts down on the 'start, map, start, run a bit, start, map, start, run a bit' gameplay, minimising interruptions and making the experience smoother.
The magic seal thing is awful. When I smack a boss down to his last sliver of health I don't want to have to scramble to grab my stylus and draw a precise imitation of some fancy design inside a time limit to finish it off!
I just reloaded Civ III. WHY, God, WHY?Quote:

Aria of Sorrow is still the better game imo, I'm thinking of replaying that again.
I'm currently playing Star Wars: Empire At War - Forces of Corruption.
I just wish Star Wars: Rebellion had the space battle complexity of EaW :(
I think even the developers acknowledged that the seals were a mistake. They just tacked it on so they could say the game used the touchscreen. It's still a good game though. :yes:Quote:

One of my friends recently got my lil bro a game called Sniper Elite. I played it for a few minutes last night. It is a unique cross between a WW2 shooter and a stealth game. It is quite good, however I think I prefer normal WW2 shooters. Stealth games to me are just a bit tedious (with all the hiding you have to do) and the atmosphere gives me the creeps. You can walk through the whole of (a pretty well ruined) Berlin and not see a single soul apart from an NKVD agent with a machine gun, who will suddenly appear in front of you from nowhere.
Bah! Rebellion would still be a labyrinthian mess, even with EaW-type battles. ~;pQuote:

And yet I still play it often.Quote:

It's ok. The land battles need to play a lot less like your average RTS and more like actual battles. The space battles is where the game really shines.Quote:

I'm sad because the Forces of Corruption expansion promised me I could play with SSDs, but the only SSD I saw was a partially-built one on the final campaign mission, along with one I fight. At least Rebellion had fully-playable SSDs.
Naruto Ultimate ninja 2
my playstation broke this morning, so Ill have to replace it and finish the damned game. My sister prides herself on kickig ass, and I whooped her the first time I played it. :grin2:
Just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, I played the first four cases around easter but still needed to do the fifth case. It certainly was interesting with all the extra features, though story and 'gameplay' wise I didn't think it was the best.
Well, if all the cases in And Justice for all are as good as the last one I'll be happy.
Embrace The Darkness!
The Darkness is awesome. AI is not the best but if you are a sucker for dark and moody games, with awesome enviroments, downright cruel powers and one sick puppy of a villain, gogogo. Now the gameplay isn't that good, it feels dated, but New York is such a fantastic setting, and the WW1 levels, oh god, think about it. The soldiers have gotten stuck in a nightmare-war where they can't die, there is a guy constantly trying to blow his brains out, only to come back to life again and again and again, now there's futility for ya. The mood is so thick here, the best realised utterly depressing place in a game I have seen in a long long time. Story...ah, see for yourselve it is great. great music, great story, great powers, great music, great setting, somwhat dated gameplay, yup this is a buy.
Just bought and started playing The Warriors game after watching the movie. I haven't gotten very far but I am enjoying the game immensely and I can't wait to get to the levels that replay the awesome movie it was created after.
Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat Beta
I've been playing the crap out of Caesar IV lately. I've spent many late nights trying to get my city ratings just a little bit higher so I can go on to the next one. Then I get sleepy & have to quit (have to get up for work and all). I'm gonna' get back into MTW (XL) & take a break from city-building for a little. I also have The Warriors on the PS2 that I have to finish. If I didn't have to work, I'd have all the time in the world :laugh4: .
Continuing God of War. Ugh, I wish I could find my thread again so i could withdraw my recommendation. It has way to many frustrating platforming sections (the kind that take me half an hour to an hour or more to beat), I've just about gien up on this game 3 times by now, the fighting is still fun, but the variety in the enemies just isn't enough, there aren't enough fighting sections anymore, and where you do fight enemies they just respawn four/five or more times. Even worse, enemies are often placed on higher ground (or you are) and the AI has no idea how to handle that, making them easy pickings.
I just want to finish this game now, I hope it does pick up again, it has some brilliant moments, but far too many flaws and boring sections to deserve all the praise it has gotten (including from me, sorry about that).
This last week has seen two big changes in my console set up. First is my acquiring a PS3, or PSfree as I call it, owing to the fact it was free. If it wasn't I wouldn't have bothered with it. The second is that I replaced my tiny, ailing standard definition TV with a HDTV. Oooh, prettiness. Finally I can see what I'm doing - my old best score in Super Stardust HD was a pitiful 49,000; I got vaguely respectable for a newbie 250,000 on my first go on the new TV.
God of War is on hold while I decide whether to keep going with my game on the PS2, losing the benefits of upscaled graphics and a wireless controller, or whether to restart it on the PSfree and take advantage of those bonuses. :mutters about Sony's stupidity in not putting a port for PS1 and PS2 memory cards on the PS3: I'd like to use the PSfree but there are three parts of GoW I don't want to play though again: the entire first level, the bit where you need to freeze an enemy onto a switch, and the battle with the big grey monsters in Athens square.
I started up Okami instead, and fell in love once the game got going. All other games shall remain ignored until Okami is completed, methinks.

Recently, I've been playing Jagged Alliance 2 again. It's an old classic - and like with Freespace 2, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, the source code has been released by the developers, and the fans have continued to improve the game.
Finished God of War, 12hours of gameplay time. Hard game to judge, I absolutely loved some parts and absolutely loathed others. Luckily there weren't that many parts I loathed, and they were concentrated towards the end.
I'd say the game is still worth playing for its good parts.
Has anybody played the "Call of Juarez"? I heard it's pretty darn good.
Company of Heroes
I am enjoying it, despite the harsh language.
Take Command Second Manassas
Best game I have played in a long time.
Picked up Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars yesterday at the bargain price of £14.99 it's the Kane Edition too. Anyways its an awesome game, more of the same old build and destroy but thats we we like. A definate recommendation to everyone.
Civ IV BTS. As if the game wasn't good enough before this expansion pack... I think the amount of time I spend on this game would cause marital problems if it wasn't for the fact that my wife is addicted too!
Yeah the language almost put me off it, but I got it anyway.Quote:

Yeah BTS is really good. It introduces a lot of new stuff which will keep you going for a long time. The new scenarios, especially Final Frontier, are great as well. I'm not at all a fanatical player, and I love it. Even the new civilizations alone are enough to get me coming back, but thats not to mention all the other amazing features like corporations and espionage, random events and all the cool new units like Mobile Artillery and Paratroopers.Quote:

I'm a Dutch addict.
Currently playing EUIII when I can - someone un-addict me :laugh4:
I am playing no video games at all. I think that is good.

But what POs me the most is that all commanders EXCEPT the Space Marines (haven't checked the Orks) get a wargear upgrade that allows them to detect infiltrated units. This isn't all that bad since he gets the best melee in the game and has a personal teleporter. Still, it's trouble if you run against a Tau or Eldar army.
