I've been playing around with Metro 2033 and DoW II: Chaos Rising...

Still gotta finish the new Stalker, and Dragon Age among other games...

starcraft 2 beta, i has it
insanely addictive and fun

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

I rented Dragon Age Origins. Does the pace pick up after the beginning of the game? I've only gotten to Ostagar to complete the Grey Warden ritual. But so far it's been somewhat of a bore.

Yes, it does.

I was loving that shit before I broke my thumb, making it kinda tough to handle a 360 controller

But I mostly played it drunk and high, which might have something to do with the attention span

Bayonetta is crazy fun and a bit challenging, I definitely recommend it.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Just couldn't get into Dragon Age. The combat system alone was unbearable. Demon's Souls on the other, now THAT is one outstanding (and frakkin' hard) RPG.

Mach Rider, an arcade game from the early '80s - and subsequently released for the Nintendo - takes place in the year 2112.

Modern Warfare 2, I play all the time. Love it. Screen name is VikingMetal13.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Anybody play that 3D Dot Game Heroes? Looks like a fun, old school Zelda rip off.

Who here is picking RDR up in two weeks? I hate paying full price on a game, but amazon is currently running a deal where if you pre-order it, you get a $20 gift card to be used on a subsequent game purchase. After looking through the list of upcoming releases for the 360, this may be the last game to be worth a shit for a ways to come.

In other news, my XBOX experienced 1 light comatose earlier this evening. Fucking thing wouldn't boot up for a good 10 minutes. Apparently such an occurrence is a result of an internal hard drive error.

Super Street Fighter IV. Get on it.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Gears of War 3 is going to ravage!

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

ramshackles?

 

[dorian gray]

Left 4 Dead. First game I've played in 2 years. I was surprised the 360 still worked. I figured it would have broken itself during its state of suspended animation.
Anyway, I though I had bought Dead Rising and kept thinking, "where's the fucking *mall*?" then it finally dawned on me I bought a different zombie game hahaha
Guess I'll get that next

 

[dorian gray]

HOLY SHIT I started this thread FOUR YEARS ago

Super Street Fighter IV. Get on it.

I've been on a 2d fighting kick as of late. I spent 4 hours the other night researching all the arcane fighters that are known to only the most privileged of nerds. Yourself, the only cyber lad I know who holds a card in that court. The verdict, after downloading the heavily lauded Garou: Mark of the Wolves, SNK doesn't hold a spoon to Street Fighter. That's coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys the KoF series. Garou: played like Final Fight with fire balls. It just felt too damn antiquated, and the lack of a proper joystick just made the fluidity of it as smooth as a case of chlamydia. Guilty Gear XX, looks like a cheap version of Samurai Showdown, though I know you fellate that game to the point where your neck becomes a tether for it's balls. Just not cutting it in year 2010. SSF4 is where it's at. It's fresh, it's faithful, it's fluid!!!

 

[Ars Magna]

I just picked up Call of Duty 1 - 3 for PS 2 for about $11 total. Never played them before but I hear it should be fun (for $11).

 

[Badbird]

The new Red dawn game looks cool.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I bought that racing game, Split Second. I suppose I could justify the expense because the missus is addicted to it too.
