So the DSi is pretty much the bestest thing ever.
It's such a radical change from the DS Lite that I hesitate to call it a "re-design". But that being said most of the changes are internal...it's a "mini-Wii" so to speak. I'm really digging it.

i played the demo, it is pretty sweet. i like the focus mode where you can slash people in half. i'll probably be renting it

I really like it and I want one. The camera is okay but the idea of having an app store is really, really intriguing. It just feels a bit lighter too. And the power button/volume buttons are in better places. Matte finish...
If only my old DS lite wasn't flashed I would sell it off for a DSi.

Capcom robbed me blind last night.
I downloaded the vs mode for Resi 5 for £3.99. I'd read that peoaple are a little pissed at having to pay for it but I figured that it just covers the wage cost for the guys making it.
How wrong was I!?!?
Turns out that the download only came to 350 odd kb which means that I'd just payed 4 quid to buy a key to unlock something that I had already paid £40 for.What a complete con. How can they justify that?
They should supply a small bottle of lube with Resi 6.

Anyone else very disappointed with RE5? I don’t know if the genre has just gotten boring but I am just not finding it fun – what is with the 720p resolution too on the PS3 version?
It is just constant zombie shooting – the environments are not scary and the puzzles are lame. Previous games were cool because there would be periods without combat which made it more of a shock when you were suddenly attacked – it was the moments that made you jump out of your skin that made it great. Now it just a sub-par third person shooter with awful controls and mediocre graphics – 5.5/10 for me and annoyed at paying £40 for it.
Maybe it will grow on me – but so far I feel I am playing it to get my moneys worth rather than actually being into it.

It's been slowly edging towards full on action since Veronica. I don't mind it though. Getting surgical with a shotgun is what it's all about for me anyways.

I could be wrong, but I think most of my other PS3 games are 1080i or p. My only ones that are not are Madden and this. It seems odd not to make use of the hardwares full capability?
Some of the graphics just don’t look that good – especially water which I have seen rendered really nicely in other games on lesser systems but does not look so good on this.
I agree about the move to action - Veronica was my favourite of the series. I recall really enjoying RE4 but dont really remember what the action mix was like as it was a couple of years ago.
It is certainly true that blasting a gaggle of zombies at close range with a shotgun is a truly serene experienced denied to previous generations

RE4 was pretty much entirely action-based too. most of the tension in the game came from getting overrun by enemies, though there were a few spooky moments in it too (the regenerators, that ganado in the stove, some dark hallways in the castle), but it really was about as actiony as 5.

You are probably right and I really enjoyed RE4 - but RE5 just isnt doing it for me. Fairly hard to put my finger on exactly why then. The control system with the inability to move and shoot is fairly annoying but I think all RE games have been like that.

yeah, they've always had that kind of control system. at least in this one you're allowed to walk sideways (they actually programmed it out of RE4 because they felt it made the game too easy), but it doesn't really help because when you press the run button you just start turning. it's a pretty awkward control scheme that's outdated and difficult to get used to, but RE4 was the same way, and once you get used to it I think it's a very fun game. i kind of like the heart of darkness feel to it.
the game definitely parallels RE4 in a lot of ways though, in terms of the things you do. like in the beginning of the game, you go into a house, meet your first enemy, chris says "this isn't like any zombie i've ever seen", and then for no reason at all you go upstairs and dive head first out of a second story window. then you get into a big fight in a town where everyone tries to overrun you and your objective is just to hold out until they stop. at some point in the game there's an underground ruin, and in the end you go to a research facility (although to be fair i think every RE game ends like that). also, a helicopter pilot dies (but again, that happens in every RE game).
i dunno, i like it, but i hear a lot of people are getting fed up with the tank controls and the silly inventory system (you need to waste slots on ammo? really?)

down to 1020 wins out of 1900 fights in Street Fighter 4. Its barely 2 months so about every month I go through 1k ...hmm by the end of this year that would mean 11k fights. Pretty good.
back when
Mago has Sagat: 5,389 wins / 6,869 matches
now total all his characters together
Chun-li: 62 wins/113 matches 54.87%
Blanka: 134 wins / 171 matches 78.36%
Rufus: 899 wins / 1,255 matches 71.63%
in total it would be 8408 matches. And those stats were just from March.
Finnished Resi 5. It was pretty good but not as impressive as playing number 4. So bboy, hit me up when you wanna do mercs or co op.

I need a recommendation for PS3!
We just finished Dead Space and loved it. We loved it so much it sparked a full-on movie marathon of similar movies. We even rented the mediocre "prequel" movie about Dead Space.
We tried Fallout 3 but honestly, despite the great reviews, I am just not a RPG person. Even if it combines with FPS aspects... it does not do it for me.
And I'm too bitter that there are no more zombies in RE to bother with RE5.
Something creepy, survival horror, or straight up FPS would be lovely.
Any recommendations?

Something creepy, survival horror, or straight up FPS would be lovely.FEAR 1 and 2
BioShock ended up feeling hardly like a survival horror game as it became more of a dramatic thriller; still, you defeintly need to try it out (or actually find a copy of System Shock 2 >.>...)
I heard frustratingly bad things about the first Siren that makes Silent Hill's combat system seem like child's play but you should check out the sequel New Translation (Blood Curse is rather Western generic renaming).
COD4 all the way.

I quite like that film. It's pretty fucked up.
Bioshock is great. Like Bboy said it's not a survival horror game but it has a fair few 'jumpy' moments. Plus being chased by an angry Big Daddy when you've ran out of ammo is kind of scary in itself.
If you want to be scared then Siren:Blood curse is your best bet. It's like a J Horror game made from the people who made the original Silent Hill. I won't spoil it but you play as various characters trapped on an island full of zombie folk. It's USP is that you can 'sight jack' which is basically see what your enemies are seeing. It's pretty freaky seeing your character being stalked from the view point of the enemy. One of the best bits is playing as a young girl (she has no weapons and is totally helpless) who has to escape a house full of nasties. Oh and it's pretty cheap too.
Don't bother with the new Silent Hill. It's not made by the same people as the old ones.

I loved playing through that game, and that level is probably my favourite I think. The best part of it is playing with a friend. Lego Indiana Jones was the same, and I can't wait to play through Batman with someone as well.

Picked up Guitar Hero 2 on the 360 pretty cheap...been playing through that again to get any of the achievements I missed. The ol' GamerScore is just a few "G" away from 11,000.
I also got "unstuck" on Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades on the DS from a spot I've been on for literally 6 months. Finishing that up on Expert...
And seriously considering selling my PSP. The only couple things holding me back right now are it's unusual color (metallic blue) and the fact that it was a gift. The DS gets played multiple times a day, and I can't even remember when I used the PSP. There are just no games on the thing that appeal to me...

Has anyone played or heard of Moon (http://moon-game.com/) on the DS? I'm a little over half-way through it and it's fantastic. I'm normally not a big fan of FPS, but this one has me hooked. Probably the best 3-D engine I've seen on the DS so far...right up there with Metroid Prime Hunters graphics, actually.
It's pretty good but the engine was put to better use in 'Dementium The Ward' (y)

Probably the best 3-D engine I've seen on the DS so far...right up there with Metroid Prime Hunters graphics, actually.
i played it for a while and i was hooked until i got to a few crippling bugs
at one point, i was supposed to drive my moon rover from point A to point B within a certain time limit only oops, my moon rover wasn't there, and even though i could run to point B with a little time to spare, i couldn't find the objective because i didn't have a radar outside of the moon rover. i tried everything i could think to do, but the rover wouldn't show up
so i restarted, and i got to the point where you get the little scout robot, and then you have to make it come back to you and it says "select your assault rifle to continue" only oops, for some reason my assault rifle wasn't available for selecting (and it definitely was the first time i played) so yeah, i quit that game
was fun for a while though

I had Dementium for a while...great game. The graphics weren't quite up to Moon quality, but close. I ultimately stopped playing Dementium because of it's piss poor save feature. That issue is thankfully solved in Moon.
There is one bug I know of with Moon near the beginning when you take the LOLA out for the first time...haven't heard of any others but I'll watch out for that second one. From what I understand the publisher offered a return program for the buggy cards and fixed the bug altogether on further productions runs though thankfully.

Also, I can't believe this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=putstjkfvdc) is in the official soundtrack, I thought it was fan made.
Trying to get the 'sidearm ribbon' on KZ2. It's bloody solid because the only games you can 'easily' get it from is the pistol only matches that are usuall set up by guys who already have the magnum. The standard handgun takes a few shots to kill. The Magnum doesnt.
Also the sniping levels are crap. A few people have found glitches and just sit within them picking people off.

graphic wise its the same as it was then.
the great part of this game is the complete Roster.
what makes this game WORTH buying is... the price is waaaaaaay cheaper than what you'll find anywhere. To top it off the game is hard to find.
I ad to DL it from the US PSN store. It's a real shame that it didn't get the same treatment as the recent SF:Remix but it still looks pretty decent (although Wolverine was looking a bit dodgy). It's a shame that the demo has no single player or online modes working, it only plays as a local 2p game.

When I do get on (rarely now...) it's with people who like to goof off with the people who take the game waaaayyy too seriously. Kind of like the guy in the video. Talking like Baby Bear from Sesame Street (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvXLgMtShws) about your grandpaw's horseys for 40 minutes kind of diffuses the situation/trolls.

I finished BioShock. I kind of want to play through it again to get the "bad" ending since I got the "good" ending.
Not a bad game, not bad at all. Although I find taking photos of splicers is kind of a pain in the ass... but I suppose it did help since it helped the damage factor.
Can I just say that I love the electric gel for the chemical thrower? Yes, yes I do. I would just use that straight up on the Big Daddies and they wouldn't even come close to touching me, bahahaha!
When does the second one come out?

So, I think I'll try out both demos but I am definitely buying KOF12, Batman Arkham Asylum, Modern Warfare 2, and maybe Assassin's Creed II.
I've been getting back into dead rising again, and i really like it, but i have a love/hate relationship with the survivor escorting parts. they can be really tense and exciting, especially when you almost lose one to a zombie, but they're kind of lame because a lot of the tension comes from the horrible pathfinding (survivors getting stuck on corners, stairs, doors, etc). games like resident evil 4 and 5 did AI pathfinding very, very well, i don't know why they didn't try a little harder for dead rising (considering that half the game is escorting survivors around)
still, i'm enjoying it
can't wait to play the second one (it's ps3 bound too!)

I'm totally getting Police Quest 4 right now. this is gonna rule.
oh man, police quest 4 is the worst one, isn't it? in that it realistically simulates the paperwork that police detectives must do and you will screw yourself later in the game if you improperly file your paperwork or something like that
i dunno, i bought the police quest collection a while back and i tried to play 4 but it ran really shittily for me so i never even got past the first scene. i also didn't play 2, because i couldn't be bothered with the text parser thing. 1 and 3 are pretty fun though

the only bit I really remember from PQ4 is the very beginning where you find that dead cop in the alley and then the dead kid in the dumpster. any game that opens with dead children in dumpsters has got my attention.
Police Quest 3 might be the one though. I'm going to struggle with DOSBox a bit more then.
Kid Presentable

4 was the one where Jim whatshisname left and it had photo-real backdrops and such. 1,2 and 3 still feel like Sierra games. I fucking loved Sierra games. Space Quest 2 and 3 especially.
EDIT: apparently it will be called 'Relapse 2'
EDIT EDIT: Jim Walls left, was replaced by Daryl F. Gates for PQ4. Probably a more brutal game, not as fun as the infuriating challenge of issuing a field sobriety test in PQ1. I think I like 2 the best.
HAL 9000
05-29-2009, 02:01 PM
PQ3 was my favourite - although I never played the updated version of 1. 4 was really different, I dont think you play Sonny Bonds in that one, its set somewhere real too.
If you are going through old adventure games, make sure you have played Grim Fandango (all time greatest adventure game IMO)
yeah, police quest 4 is the gory one, that was made by a different person than the one who made 1-3 (well more than one person made the games obviously, but you know what i mean). i believe it has a reputation as the outcast of the series. i tried to play it, but i couldn't get it to run smoothly and i have absolutely no idea how to screw around with dosbox (which i really shouldn't even have to do, because the collection i bought was supposed to preconfigure it to make the games run on modern computers, but oh well)
Played a few matches of SF4 with Kid P. He took 6 out of 10 (although I think he threw a couple my way.) Good stuff! I tried not to pick Ken for every match. ;)
Bayonetta is locked in for 60 fps and it looks slick as hell. If it plays like DMC 3 I will have to pick it up day one. No More Heroes 2 looks nice and of course there may be a new Metal Gear on the horizon. Looks like either a side story or a remake (or both) with Raiden and Big Boss. I am officially psyched.

Gonna chill on the Streeties for a moment (brief moment). I've started learining Ryu. In 18 years of playing I never used him, and he is actually as l33t as people say he is. An answer for everything. But it means taking some thumpings in the process, so I'm trying not to stress myself out with it too much.

I felt inFamous was gonna turn out like prototype because all the comparisons people were leading to. But having the chance to play the inFamous demo I found it to be very different from my expectations. The gameplay was totally different from what I now see in prototype. Its like a GTA game with a super hero theme. I havent played any of the other hero games like the Hulk game so I'm pretty much unfamiliar with hero type games. But yes it does seem like prototype has more stuff. Its probably like GTA with army and all.
I see Heavy Rain is going to bring in more cinematic platform games to consoles later in the future but ... the way its played is kind of a turn off for my gamer fun factor. Pressing a simple button when requested with no control motion is just fucking lazy. Takes no skill. Its more of puzzler or one of those RPG chapter books. I feel the game will be lame.
Aside from all the games there are 3 games I am PUMPED for.
KOF12 - for my competitive gaming roster
Assassin's Creed 2 - for casual gaming
COD: Modern Warfare - for casual gaming
I mostly have fighting games and well... KOF12 NEEDS to be in my list of competitive gaming but with so many fighting games not many here at home wanna play fight games and I'm pretty sure they're tired of it. But I AM NOT.
But to take break from fighting games I think those games will do me the justice.

I've always been more into SNK games than Capcom games, so I have high hopes for this.
inspired by an earlier conversation i've been playing police quest 4 all day and it's pretty fun, but mother of fuck it's choppy and slow. i bought it as part of a collection, and the collection uses dosbox to run the games, and for all of the others they run perfectly fine but for this one, the animations tend to get really dragged out and slow and annoying at points. maybe it's because they opted for the "photo-realistic" graphics, i dunno, but it's annoying.
does anyone know anything about tinkering around with dosbox to try and make the game run a little smoother? i know absolutely shit about it, i think the word "cycles" is involved maybe?
as for the game itself, it's kinda fun; i'm actually sort of enjoying the minutiae of homicide detectiving, like collecting evidence in plastic bags and showing my badge to people and recording every little thing i do in my notebook (it's like hot fuzz) and filing the proper forms. i just have to laugh about how unintuitive some of the puzzles are though; like in one part you're in a convenience store, and you need to buy an apple and a tube of glue, but there's absolutely no indication whatsoever that you need to buy these things, and the items don't stand out in the scene at all; in fact, even with the help of a walkthrough, i had to click around like hell just to find the glue (it did not look like glue). but i suppose all sierra games are like that.

KOF games makes Street Fighter game play more easier. Combos is a bitch to do in in KOF but I got a friend that will teach me when I get it.

I just saw this yesterday when I was going through some old boxes, was thinking of giving it a go once I have had a decent run at FNR4 (and finished Siren Blood Curse).
Is it the case that if you miss things like that – you are screwed and can’t go back and get them later (I seem to recall that being an issue with the series)
No idea about dosbox I'm afraid

i know there are things that if you miss, you can't go back and get; for example you're supposed to get a crime scene log from an officer in the first scene, but i forgot to do that and now he's gone forever. i don't know if any of things will fuck you up later in the game though, or if you just miss out on points. i wouldn't be surprised if it did fuck you over though; as you say, sierra games have done that before

mercenaries 2 is definitely worth...however much that is in normal money, good call.
sadly, i bought it at full price when it came out. it was not worth $60.

About 9-10 bucks?
I played the demo and wasn't too impressed but I had fun causing mayhem. But the price may bring me round to it...plus I loved that song they used to advertise the game 'Oh no you didn't'.

I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy 11. Leveling up a White Mage right now, and I have to say, it's fun being a party healer. One thing I've noticed is when you're the party healer, you're so busy healing people that you don't notice other things, like how much experience points you've received.

I hope Borderlands don't get overlooked.
Battlefield 1943 is quite dope, had a fun time with the demo, but I can't lay down the bones, at the moment.
it is pretty fun, i bought the full game, and i'd say it's worth it for the price.
there's absolutely no teamwork, and you will be playing with the pubbiest pubbies ever to pub but nonetheless, there's plenty of good stupid fun to be had with the game. like when i spawned on a carrier and stole a guy's plane by stabbing him ineffectually, tricking him into turning around and stabbing me back and not noticing that a plane had spawned. he shot up my plane as i flew away with it and it was funny
but yeah the game is pretty much a clusterfuck. there's no teamwork and everyone's just kind of running around, doing their own thing. part of the problem is that there are no recognizable frontlines, on account of the fact that both sides have a carrier which you can just spawn on and fly/boat to anywhere on the island you want to go. still, it's worth it for $13 or however much the point cost translates to in real money

Pretty old game but I've had tons of fun not following the storyline and randomly killing zombies in a shopping mall and throwing pies in their faces.
Very original Dawn of the Dead.

07-31-2009, 08:48 PM
get Dead Rising for sure umm... I here either Oblivion and Fable 2 are great. If you are into the Renaissance and Baroque era I suggest wait for Assassin's Creed 2 or if you like super hero stuff with a GTA sandbox then Prototype is for you.
Good 360 games? Wow. Dead Rising is okay since it's so cheap now. It's just really difficult to get into the swing of it but basically it's a John Romero movie. I know you'd like it.
I've been playing the ever living shit out of Fallout 3. It's got bonus DLC (gotta pay for it) out the wazoo but the single player game is so time consuming and fun. Burnout Paradise is the shit too. Best Burnout ever. And if you don't like arcade racing, Forza 2 is almost a Gran Turismo killer. It's got enough arcadey goodness to go around. Crackdown is like Hulk Ultimate Destruction but with guns and explosives. Another cheap title totally worth picking up.
I find what makes the 360 worth the price of admission is customizable soundtracks. throwing on some Outrun soundtracks during Burnput or NWA while playing Crackdown makes it feel like a different game.

Won $70 bucks at ******** (cant name the place) arcade. $10 bucks for each match, money matches of course, on the TvC game. I didnt know how to play it and this was my first time on TvC lol I didnt even recognize the cabinet for it. Sat there for a while playing against the computer trying to get a feel for the game mechanics and it feels some what like Marvel vs Capcom only that I do see that they have cut down on the infinites. I mostly played it like if it where Maaahvel and then I was approached by some dude and it just turn into a money match. Then some other guys came, I lost $10 and won it back with a couple more for my pocket. These guys were easy to beat as soon as I got the hang of the game. I had to go so I gave the other guy my spot. Dunno if they were still making bets but I'm happy with my winnings. haha I'm bragging but I just found it pretty funny that me and my dad went to the casinos loss some $120-$150 and I was kicked out for not having my I.D. Went to the mall found some money matches and won my $70 dollars.

Just trying to get more exposure for of the user. Yes, that is his (technically his band's) music.
It's as close the LEFT FOR DEAD as the PS3's gonna get Which is why it's sometimes best to stick with PC when it comes to Valve; at least that's the guaranteed platform they'll focus on...not like the Source engine has changed that drastically in the past 6 years.
i've been getting back into warcraft 3 lately. i've been playing through the single player campaigns lately and i'm really quite impressed about the quality of the story and the cutscenes and everything else, blizzard really is an amazing game company. can't wait for diablo 3.
i've also been playing WC3 multiplayer. i'm terrible, but i play as orc, because they're pretty much the simplest race to get your head around, even if they aren't the strongest. i like picking the blademaster as a hero because he's a force to be reckoned with when you get him up to a high enough level, and when you give him the lightning orb, well, fuck it, you've won the game pretty much.
he also reminds me of conan the barbarian and every time i start a match i ask my opponent "what is best in life?" so far, no appropriate responses, but i'll keep you posted.
