What video games are you currently playing?

Post by Nick » Wed Feb 24, 2010 12:59 pm

I am currently playing:

God Of War Collection (PS3) - Fucking rules, even if I've played them on the PS2.
InFamous (PS3) - pretty awesome game, from the few hours I've played. Waiting for the story to pick up.
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time (PS3) - one of the best platformer/shooter game series I've played in a long time. The R&C games are always a blast.
God Of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP) - only have like one stage left on this before I beat it. Left off where the first two ended. Great game and getting me stoked for GOWIII
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP) - pretty weak for a FF game. Way to linear of a story for an RPG if you ask me.

I really need to dedicate more time to these games and finish them ASAP, as there are 5 games out or either coming out in the next month that I think are must own titles.

I've fallen behind a bit. I'm about 2/3 through Dragon Age, but decided to go back to Team Fortress 2 for a while. That game never gets old. I want to start Mass Effect 2, but I can't bring myself to do it until I finish Dragon Age.

Mostly I've been playing iPhone games. Plants vs Zombies, Minigore and Hook Champ... also this game called Charadium which is more or less online Pictionary at turbo speed. Soooo fun. Plants vs Zombies is available for PC, too.

Man...Dragon Age: Origins is another game I really, really need to get. I've heard great things about that game. So many video games, so little time to play them all. Here are the others games I pretty much need to buy in the next month too:

Heavy Rain
Final Fantasy XIII
God Of War III
ModNation Racers
MLB: The Show 2010

I don't have a real job so I can't buy new video games, but I've been finishing up Ocarina of Time for the N64 and Dead Rising for the 360, both of which are classics (to different extents). I beat Dead Space for the 360 earlier this semester.

I really want to play dragon age because I've loved all the bioware games so far, and I'll probably also get FFXIII over the summer. I wish The Show came out for xbox. I also plan on renting mass effect 2 and bioshock 2 since I beat both of those last year.

I just beat CastleVania: The Adventure ReBirth. It's fun, only 6 stages long, and the last stage is just a leadup to Dracula. Other than that, each stage has branching paths, so it's cool.

Also just beat Blaster Master: Overdrive. This game was really frustrating and the original Blaster Master kicked the shit out of it looks wise... you just drive around the same looking cave and walk around in the same cave with enemy placement seemingly being random. Sometimes you have to take damage to get places since there are no secondary weapons to make use of like in the original, but once you get the drill, that problem sorta becomes diminished. It ended up being okay, definitely the best sequel to Blaster Master, but that's not saying much.

Gonna play Shadow Complex next. The team that made it was made to play Super Metroid beforehand, and this game is like a 3D version (2.5D) of that. Looks really fucking good.

If I have time, I like to waste it on Realm of the Mad God. It's pretty tight.

I've also been playing Ocarina of Time and Tony Hawk games.
I'd like to get a better computer so that I could play some of the cooler games, but I'm broke as shit.

Yeah...I'm really looking forward to FFXIII and Kingdom Hearts 3 too. But what is really gonna rule, I think, is Final Fantasy Versus XIII. But that is probably at least a year or more away.

Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Final Fantasy Agito XIII are all different games in a series called Fabula Nova Crystallis.

They will all suck and SquareEnix will get your money.

Like Joe said, it is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. FF Versus XIII is supposed to be the much darker story of the series. Same developers as FFXIII. Both games were announced at the same time (about 4 years ago now), but the development team had been busy with FFXIII and now that that game is done, they are working much quicker on FF Versus XIII. Only a few characters have been shown so far, but there is a trailer here that looks pretty amazing. The game is only going to be for the PS3 and it will blow FFXIII out of the water if you ask me.

Here is a trailer for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6At_bb1PNU

I had the high score on Galaga at some barbecue shack in Altoona a few years ago. Probably not saying much, but I was pleased.

I just beat Ocarina of Time for the 5th or 6th time, currently playing Super Mario Bros. 3 and Majora's Mask. I am also in the middle Evolution Worlds for the Gamecube, but I haven't played it in awhile because it gets hella tedious in the middle of the game.

Shadow Complex is really fun. The ending is super disappointing, but the game play and everything is really cool.

I've been going back and forth between Modern Warfare 2 and Super Mario Bros Wii, which may be the only good game for the Wii. I have not played anything else that I really enjoyed.

Not sure what I am going to get next though, very little on the horizon is of much interest to me.
