Umbrella CHronicles as well...I'm zipping through it...Glad I just rented it though.

PS Where teh fuk iz Leon, kthx?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-30-2007, 02:43 AM

I went back to finish Zak & Wiki after swearing it off 2 weeks ago. Yeah, I'm a total dunce when it comes to puzzle solving.

And you couldn't get me to touch Umbrella Chronicles with a six foot pole. Played it at E3 and hated it. The Wii controls ruin it. I love light gun games as much as anybody (Time Crisis 4 FTW), but the lag in the Wii remote just kills it for someone who grew up on Lethal Enforcers and Time Crisis.

*Brodie* · 11-30-2007, 11:36 PM

There isn't much lag to speak of....And I know, for sure, they never fix ANYTHING between E3 and release.....

I'm glad I didn't even think of bothering with the Zapper (who the **** would?), because the reload thing is to shake the controller, which would entail shaking the entire infernal machine.

I do enjoy the regular controls of the game though, but the story is balls to ass dumb.

*KROW* · 12-01-2007, 12:33 PM

Mass Effect.

Hot damn, this game is gold.

Peanut · 12-01-2007, 01:01 PM

YOU KNOW IT!

Just beat it on Hardcore, my 3rd play-through, last night. I think it's telling that right after the credits rolled, I started it up yet again, this time as an Adept. I can't remember the last time I felt this way about a game.

Lady Venus · 12-01-2007, 04:02 PM

I'm playing Smack down vs Raw 2008 and Mortal Kombat SM.

Janus Prospero · 12-02-2007, 09:08 PM

My household now has Mass Effect since yesterday. But I haven't been able to touch it yet as my SO has been hogging the XBox since.

It looks good, and as was said before it does look a lot like a suped up KOTOR.

I'm not sure what class I would do. My initial instinct was Infiltrator as I kinda like the idea of playing the game like some super spy. But the idea of not being able to use an Assault Rifle is kind of a bummer.

Those of you who have played the game, what are your opinions? I'm assuming Soldier would be the best no-nonsense way to go about doing it.

Peanut · 12-03-2007, 09:08 PM

I picked Vanguard, because that way you get what is arguably the best weapon (the shotgun) and you get a good amount of biotic powers as-well.

Ra · 12-04-2007, 12:01 AM

Just started to play Ratchet and Clank 3 again today. I suddenly realized that I don't know where I'm going or how I'm going to advance the game any further. And I have a hunch that I probably won't get there. Although I'm proud to say that I some how unlocked another skill point by accident today...

*Magdolin* · 12-04-2007, 12:45 AM

I'm playing Threads of Fate. It's a really good game. And in all the years I've had it, I never knew there was an alternate ending, or cheat codes. After I beat it this time, I was able to have more powerful characters. I got to keep all of my stats and everything from my last game. Now I'm playing Mint's story. When I had to fight Belle, I was so strong that it only took four hits to beat her. My HP is 259. It's one of my favorite games.

You can look at here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threads_of_Fate

*raphael_is_cool* · 12-04-2007, 12:57 PM

I went for Vanguard too. That way you get a mixture of decent enough weapons (pistol and shotgun) as well as some very useful and very handy life-saving biotics (barrier, lift etc.)

I use Ashley and Garrus as teammates at the moment, so there's a lot of combat strength combined with tech and biotic support.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-04-2007, 04:12 PM

I hadn't really taken any of this class type stuff into account, so I guess I should start doing some research.

Peanut · 12-04-2007, 07:34 PM

? You have Mass Effect?

Edit: Oh, also got Smackdown Vs RAW 2008 last night, it's not even close to as good as 07, but the ECW stuff is awesome, even if some of it is slightly limited.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-04-2007, 08:36 PM

I'm getting a 360 for christmas/birthday, from what I understand, and intend on buying it.

*cowabunga14* · 12-04-2007, 08:51 PM

I'm probably gonna get something thrown at me for saying this, but I'm starting to get back into my PSP. I played Darkstalkers Chronice: The Chaos Tower recently and I'm lookin' at the new Syphon Filter game, which should get me back into the system, along with my other games.

Peanut · 12-04-2007, 09:39 PM

As far as I'm concerned, the DS hasn't offered much more than the PSP lately, so it's not like it should be competing for your time in the handheld space, right?

I've actually been playing a bunch of Gitaroo Man Lives on my PSP at work lately. I've been meaning to pick up the re-issue of Parappa, but I just haven't done it yet.

Peanut · 12-04-2007, 09:41 PM

Sweet deals, homie! Drop me an FR once you get it.

愛 · 12-04-2007, 09:47 PM

Would I get booed off the forums if I said I'm playing Diablo II? I'm also playing Guilty Gear X off and on when I'm bored. Semester is winding down, and I'll be going home soon. Hopefully I'll have a lot of 360 games to play when I get my temp jobs started back up. MASS EFFECT?!

Ra · 12-05-2007, 04:54 AM

I have a very proud announcement to make. It's not often I get to go out and buy a game, but I finally did it.

Gentlemen...I have bought an original copy of Final Fantasy IX. A not too sure how uncommon it is here in Australia, but from what I've heard from the guy who sold it to me it's pretty uncommon. Not only that, but it's in very, VERY good condition. Hardly any marks on the disks or anything.

愛 · 12-05-2007, 06:12 AM

Didn't that game come out in 2000? ROFL
