So, I'll start off:

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

GateofThunderforceIII · Sat Jan 03, 2009 3:56 am

Just finished Tomb Raider Underworld for the PS3 (anyone know how the PS3 and 360 versions compare first hand?). I rather liked it. I would give it an 8 at the very highest (even though there is no end of game boss).

Just started a game of No More Heroes last night. Pretty wild so far, but maybe I should have went with 360 Prince of Persia instead?

I'm about 10 hours into "you have to burn the rope".. Still trying to figure out this one part of it though.

Actually fuck no, that was the most retarded excuse for indie software I have ever seen in my life.

well, except for maybe Ultimuh

...

Which also perplexed me for days on end back in 1994.

Actually fuck no... I haven't been into much the past few weeks, kind of just messing around playing a bunch of games and trying to find something fresh. Although I have been playing a bit of Megaman Powered up on PSP in challenge mode, in my spare time, which these days is usually like 20 minutes per day. For real.

What the fuck. I appologize, apparently I have been rambling nonsensically everywhere I go tonight. I'll stop now, seriously. Maybe it's the stress

Rune Factory 2

Damn, just about every game mentioned on this list so far is AWESOME.

I'm playing Persona 4 and Yakuza 2.

How is Rune Factory 2? How many hundreds of hours do you have to sink into that game?

Edit> BM, how far are you with Nocturne?

Wait till it's about half price or so, then go for it. I wouldn't recommend it at full price.

Currently at that big tower thing that Nihilo controls...off to the side, just managed to take down the Red Horseman by the skin of my teeth. I'm half-tempted to have someone take a snapshot of my face every time I walk into a room and the candelabra starts glowing, heh heh - it must be a sight to see.

I just beat Persona 4. I'm playing Disgaea 3 and Shiki-tei now (Japanese garden simulator).

I just finished Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (it was my first time playing RE4 EVAR).

Next, I'm going to start Wario Land Shake It, or Trauma Center New Blood.

JoJo's Venture [and I suck at it so badly... I had to half the difficulty from 8 [max, default] to 4, and then I still could only get to the second stage...]

Same as above, except the "updated" version, Heritage for the Future.
But mostly it's just for comedy relief using the two main (story) characters.

Try burning the rope

Going back and forth with Fallout and Shining Tears, while feeling like I should get back to playing Legend of Wukong.

I finished Code: Veronica a few days ago and am making my way through Nemesis. You can skip door animations on the PC version! I kept walking through doors at first solely to skip them.

It's really great. It is definitely a time sink, and very addicting. I've been playing pretty much nonstop for the last couple days.

That game is still up and running? I used to play it quite a lot a few years back, my first and last encounter with MMORPGs.

I'm playing Odin Sphere at the moment. Great game! Reminds me a lot of princess crown, but looks a lot nicer.

I played that and was absolutely paranoid that actually doing what it told me to do would result in immediate and catastrophic death. >_>

Post by **Ghegs** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 3:37 pm

Last few days I've been playing nothing but Spelunky, it's a very addictive roguelike-platformer. From the mouth of the developer:

Derek Yu wrote:Probably the easiest way to describe Spelunky is that its (kind of) like La Mulana meets Nethack - every time you play the levels, items, monsters, and so forth, are all procedurally-generated. And the terrain is destructible and there are quite a few ways in which the various game elements can interact with one another.
