What game are you playing thread

[McMurphy]

When I have the chance to pick up a controller (or a remote, as the case may be), it has been Mario Kart Wii and Gamecube's Baten Kaitos Origins.

Mario Kart has been entertaining, although I believe it is a little dated in approach compared to the recent trends of the combat racing genre it largely created back in the SNES days. Without an "Adventure Mode," the gameplay would have quickly become dull and repetitive if it wasn't for the saving grace of all of its online options. I have two Retro Cups remaining on Mirror Mode (Grand Prix) before I have, at least, a "star" rating.

Baten Kaitos Origins, a RPG, seems a little dated even when the original release date is factored into the equation. More time will be needed for me to decide if the storytelling can provide plot arches beyond that of the traditional gaming tales.

I'm being incredibly retro today. Downloaded a free version of Golden Axe (yup, from the hazy sega megadrive days). Classic.

Just finished GTA IV. Over-rated like all GTA IV games but it is good.

Now onto the Bourne Conspiracy. I love Bourne.

[HoopyFrood]

And one retro game leads to another. Now I'm playing Streets of Rage.

[Lucien21]

Finally finished GTA IV today (68% - 45hours)

I'm not usually a fan of GTA - San Andreas was ****. However this was superb from start to finish. Maybe a few too many missions, but probably game of the year so far.

Next up Metal Gear Solid 4.

I've got golden Axe on Ps2 Hoopy its n one of those retro collections, of course if you dont have a PS2....

Hmm, Trying out Samurai Wariors on Ps2, so far so good not a clue what i'm doing yet but hey that s the fun of these games. I do see a lot of similarties with Dynasty Warriors. I do like this mix of action and strategy.

Tried Spartan total warrior and am getting my haead pounded by Crassius and turned to stone a lot! So far its a hard level! thought I will give it a rest for a bit.

I have just got Vandal Hearts 2 on Ebay for Ps2 and hopt to get into that very soon loved the 1st one. Just have to dust off ye olde Playstion!!

[HoopyFrood]

And continuing with the retro, I downloaded Atomic Runner. Ah, all these games take me back. I'm very much out of practice though, these games, although usually just a case of hammering the space bar, are pretty hard.

I never played part 2, but part 1 is a favorite of mine. Such a cool game.

There are simply a ton of awesome games on the PS1.

Ever play Tomba? Now this is a 2D masterpiece.

Very pretty, and quite FF-like too (Odyssey) I recommend it - if you Sony fanboys can get over the choice of console

I enjoyed it, but I kinda forgot to develop the right characters, and now I got completely stuck on one particular boss battle - actually no way to get past it, I don't think

I'm still playing NWN 1. I have met alot of great role players over the years on the multiplayer servers I have been on and most if not all of them still play. Once they stop I'll probably stop too until the next game catches my attention. Free role play servers and the ability to create your own worlds also keeps its hold on me.

Played NWN 2 a little here and there can't keep interest at the moment although I may give it another shot later.

On PSP I play Brunswick Bowling (yeh not real interesting to most I guess), and Dungeon and Dragon's Tactics (just started died on the second quest )

Playstation 2 - I play a few games every now and then mostly Dynasty Warriors 4 or Samurai Warriors with my son.

Wii - Haven't got into it really although me and the family will play Wii sports together so that's cool.

I have played various other games on the PS 2 and PC but nothing real consistant besides those I mentioned.

[sarakoth]

Dinopark Tycoon

[Joel007]

I have 4 controllers for the Wii finally

Now I just need to get 3 other people to play games. Perferably people not as competitive as me, else it may come to blows.

Wiimote duel!
