Ha, a new MGS game is going to be on the 360 So the PS3 has erm... Killzone 2.. And that's about it now.

Also Halo Reach was announced, which being the ridiculous nerd I am, I'm rather excited about it, as once while on holiday I actually read the prequel novels to Halo

 

[DarkNoise]

so was Halo ODST

I muist get both

 

[Lord Foul]

I just want Halo to fuck off so Bungie can make more Marathon games.

 

[Super Mahrio]

three new first party games for the Wii were announced. Two Mario games: New Super Mario Bros Wii (which is basically like the DS New Super Mario Bros. but with new levels and stuff and multiplayer. Up to four players apparently. and yes its side scrolling.), Super Mario Galaxy 2 which is self explanitory, and this!!!!!


*drooooooooooool*

I recently finally bought me a copy of the original Fusion Frenzy! I forgot how much fun that is with four players

Call me an old curmudgeon, but Metroid just doesn't feel right as anything but a 2d platformer.

I've never seen such a sorry ass lineup of games I'm not interested in.

Maybe I'll go PC after all.

 

[Karmic]

PS3 stuff has me really excited.

even my balls are tingling

 

[DarkNoise]

I agree about Metroid. This game looks better than the previous couple installations, but it REALLY shined with Super Metroid. I still play that game a few times a year. Never actually beat it though cause I keep losing my saves (batter must be going bad), but it's still fun to play.

 

[Lord Foul]

I play it every year, and every year I have forgotten where everything is and have to learn it all over again. I expect to be still playing Super Metroid when I am 80.

 

[DarkNoise]

between that and almost every single RPG on the SNES, i'm never getting rid of that system. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana / Evermore, Earthbound, Final Fantasy IV and VI, I could go on forever

Eve, Battlefield 2 & Battlefield 2142 have been taking up my time lately.


I lost my CD-Key's for the Battlefield games so I had to purchase a couple.

I lost my stats on Battlefield 2142, but I still have my stats from Battlefield 2 from long ago.



If anyone wants to play just PM me or something. Beware though, I am deadly with a sniper rifle.

 

[DarkNoise]

I'm so damn horrible at FPS games sniping. It's fun but I'm a terrible shot. Been playing Halo3 online a lot lately, and over 1/3 of all my kills are assassination/melee kills. another 1/3 are from the regular old plane jane Halo gun. For some reason I suck with 'specialty' stuff in fps games.

 

[Liverslapper]

I'm adding your GT right now.

 

[DarkNoise]

I'll have to disconnect my PC from my modem (see my wireless router thread for more), but I'll get on real quick and add you too. unfortunately my gold subscription ended about two days ago, so I'll have to go get another one, but until then at least we can talk or something, keep me occupied during my single player stuff. Though that sega collection kicks all kinds of ass. I just beat Fatal Labyrinth last night, and I'm working on Shining In the Darkness, Shining Force, and Shining Force 2 right now.

 

[Chromatose]

<3 Super Metroid

 

[El Stormo]

<3 Super Metroid

Totally.

 

[Chromatose]

I always get freaked out by the one boss that you kill then HIS BONES JUMP BACK UP AND RAWRRRRRR it's so cheesy and I love it.

I wish I had my SNES with me. I suppose I could load up the ROM butttttt it's not the same, though I suppose it will do.

I forget if I've ever tried it on an SNES emulator on the DS, last I checked I think that didn't work too well.

 

[Lord Foul]
