Looks good to me. Then again, Metroid games usually tend to be very good.

Meira-Bates · 04-24-2004, 02:37 PM

Doubt anyone would care about this since my selection is so small and odd (I only JUST began being able to game on my own system durring my highschool years so I've not got many years of gaming under my belt, also it's hard to find all kinda crap in this area, including some video games...so my list will likely seem odd and make little sence to most folk) but I was bored, so here is my list of 30 fav video and PC games, in no particular order x.X It was hard to choose what was on the list and what wasn't. I love so many of them. (/ incidcate that first title is the Japanese one, Japanese versions perfered to the American ones, which is the second title, cause the games got hacked to death in editing and translastion)

#1) Luna Silver Star Story Complete
#2) Wild Arms 2
#3) Grandia
#4) Chrono Trigger
#5) Parasite Eve
#6) Threads of Fate
#7) The Sims
#8 ) Echo Night
#9) Clock Tower: GhostHead/Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within
#10) Clock Tower 2/Clock Tower
#11) Shillouette Mirage (although I wish the difficulty wasn't so damn bad)
#12) Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
#13) Galerians
#14) Sonic Adventure
#15) Sonic Adventure 2
#16) Splatterhouse 2
#17) Splatterhouse 3
#18 ) TMNT 4: Turtles in Time
#19) Lunar Eternal Blue Complete
#20) Bushido Blade 2
#21) Bloody Roar 2
#22) American McGee's Alice
#23) Soul Edge
#24) Oddworld Abe's Oddusey
#25) Oddworld Abe's Exoddus
#26) Super Mario Brothers: Yoshi's Island
#27) Metal Combat
#28 ) YuYuHaksho 3 (mostly for the diffrent battle system, while it's like the one in YYH 1 it's more simplistic and there is better character selection as well.)
#29) Dragon Ball Z (I think it was the third or fourth one for the SNES can't remember for sure...it has pathetic character selection in story mode, but it also has all sorts of diffrent story lines depnding on how you do in the battles...instead of just giving you a game over...win or lose at certain points and it changes the direction of the story line)
#30) Black and White

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is way too far down on that list.

lol I'd agree ^.^ but as said, they aren't really in any particular order I kept thinking of games I liked more than others and replacing them.

Lunar 2 was the classic "I don't know you, but I'll protect you no matter what" kind of game. I loved both Lunars, I would say the first one was better story-wise.

Oh yeah lol I have to say that if I did have this list in order (as impossible as that'd be for me) Lunar SSSC would probably still be the first on the list...@.@ I friggen fell deeply in love with that game when I was playing it x.X

I'm not a big fan of the Resident Evil Series but I saw the video for Resident Evil 4 and

This will be one of the few games that I actually preorder to make sure that I get it asap.

I couldn't stand Alone in the Dark: TNN...it was just painful

*Taloniss* · 04-29-2004, 12:25 PM

2 months til Spider-Man 2! Can't wait, whoo!

Hey, that rhymed, admit it, you know it rhymed.

Did you run out of spam threads, Taloniss?

No. I was merely reminding those who might be interested in the game that it's coming out soon, hoping it might spawn some discussion.

*Ninjinister* · 04-29-2004, 09:29 PM

I am personally looking forward to Mortal Kombat 6: Deception. It's a revamped version of Deadly Alliance with a much better Konquest mode (it's also a create-a-character), better fighting mechanics, Klassic Kombatants return (Ermac, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Kabal, Nightwolf, etc.), more fighting styles, better graphics, more interactive stages, awesome mini-games... damn, it's just all-around going to kick ass. It may finally crush Soul Calibur II.

Peanut · 04-29-2004, 09:52 PM

Wait is Spider-Man 2...the game you mean? Isn't it supposed to be free roaming?

*Dr. Doom* · 04-29-2004, 10:19 PM

In MK6, you can play as Ghost/Zombie Lu Kang.......lol

Yep. They've recreated a most of Manhatten and you can go anywhere you see at any point in the game. Everything is interactable as well, from flag poles to lamp posts. You can even hang criminals from the lamp posts, just like Spidey does in the comics.

They've also improved the web swinging, so you now have free control over where you aim the next shot, and you have to hit a building to swing. No more swinging from air. And they've worked on combat, so that there are alot more combo's, and your spider-sense actually plays a part in letting you dodge attacks. Dodges will also have special animations, like if you are on top of a car, and a thug shoots at you through the roof, you'll backflip to the trunk.

Random crimes will also happen all around the city, and if you stop them, you get 'hero points' which you can use to buy unlockables. You buy the extra stuff from comic shops located around the city.

Everything I've read points to this being the best Super Hero game, like, ever.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-30-2004, 09:42 AM

Sounds like it, yeah. GTA: Spidey, anyone?

Peanut · 04-30-2004, 04:46 PM

HOLY SH*T! THIS GAME SOUNDS LIKE MY ULTIMATE DEMISE! I'm breaking up with my gf and padlocking my door when that game comes out.

*Voltron* · 04-30-2004, 04:58 PM

Me too.

Oh, and I just read the preview of the game in Official X-box Magazine, and they say Mysterio will be in the game. One level has you trying to fight him, fend off his minions, and save civilians. All of which will take place in an abandonded theatre, which is on fire.

You can also attatch a webline to helicopters which fly around the city and hitch a ride on them.
