Say, Brian, how are you liking Hermie Hopperhead? The character and level design are pretty soulless, but the gameplay is tops IMO.

Picked up Technic Beat for the PS2...nice, but I gotta get used to the timing.

And soon to be arriving,

Virtua Fighter 2 w/ a Saturn Hori Stick, $30 shipped

And R-Type Final.

EDIT: I bought Final for less than $6 shipped, as it was listed as a disc-only game on eBay. Turns out not only was it complete, it was still sealed.

Blood Will Tell

After a month and a half hiatus.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 10:03 pm

I like Hermie; it is a fun diversion. The game is primitive, but you can tell straight away how much they emulated Mario. With so many levels, I haven't really seen a lot of it yet, but I like the whole egg and jump on head bit. Too bad they never made another one, the game seems like it could've been a contender.

Haven't really picked up a lot lately. Just a few GC titles:

Zelda:WW
Super Mario Sunshine
Simpsons Hit and Run

And I don't really see a whole lot on the horizon I'd consider to be "must have" (The only one I can think of right now is Forza Motorsport.) I'll probably also pick up Half Life 2 at some point to give my new computer something to chew on.

Have you played the Forza demo yet? The handling is dreadful - feels like the barge racing as found in GT3, in fact it's very much like GT3, with much worse frame update. Save your money and get a copy of PGR2...

Vexorg · Post by **Vexorg** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 12:25 am

Yes I have tried the Forza demo, and it takes some getting used to, but I was eventually able to get the car around the track pretty well. It's a whole lot better with a wheel/pedal setup too.

LoneSage · Post by **LoneSage** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 2:42 am

The Colin McRae Rally series on this gen of consoles is unbeatable in rally racing games, even better than what GT puts out in the rally races.

Haven't played a Forza game yet, tho.

just for corrections sake not "a", "the." Forza is Microsofts attempt to compete with GTurismo. it even has the ridiculous multi-view mode (take several consoles and hook them up to several tvs so you can look to your side and see your side ingame. WOW, that's expensive!)

Just a suggestion, why don't people list multiple games per line by system like I did? Makes things much less spammed...

Of course we care, Brian! Those who don't probably don't read this thread.

Anywho, as for me lately:

Internal Section (which is brilliant, by the way)
Pulirula
Resident Evil 4
Gran Turismo 4
Dororo...err, "Blood Will Tell"

Devil May Cry 3

and Chaos Field Expanded any frickin' day now...

UnscathedFlyingObject · Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:21 am

Resident Evil 4
Devil May Cry
Onimusha 3

I'm catching up on the times. I just fell in love with cheap modern gaming. I'll be picking by the bunch until I run dry from cheap games. Then, I'll get what's hot now. I got RE4 cheap, btw. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. I feel delirious delight at the sound of it.
