Soul Calibur IV, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Final Fantasy IV DS. I'm not proud of that last one, alright. It reminded me of FFIX and nostalgia got the better of me.

IX!! Yaaaaay!

Peanut · 08-01-2008, 12:35 PM

Uncharted is such a waste of potential.

Rhythm Tengoku Gold here. It takes getting used to the new controls, but I'm really loving it. Looks like the best game on the GBA got a worthy sequel.

You can be proud of IV DS. It's an excellent remake of a good game. I like the Tetsuya Nomura games much more in terms of style and story but if you bought IV with IX in mind, you won't be disappointed. Word of advice tho, do always map the dungeons.

Soul Calibur IV for PS3 and Geometry Wars 2 for 360.

I'm set for the weekend.

It was cheap, so as long as it's entertaining I don't care.

CoD 4

GOTY Edition with all teh mapz. I never bought it when I was at school because I would just borrow my roomates. I need a good shooter and Halo 3 isn't cutting it right now.

*Brodie* · 08-02-2008, 09:33 PM

I should get those maps......

*Ninjinister* · 08-02-2008, 11:44 PM

The Monkey King: The Legend Begins (Wii)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Special Edition (PS2)

EDIT: On 8/4: SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 (Wii)

*Hannah* · 08-05-2008, 04:07 PM

Resident Evil 4, finally.

I hate Ashley so much. I am going to rape and kill her. @_D

*Dr. Doom* · 08-05-2008, 06:25 PM

For what it's worth (and I will contest that this is relevent due to it concerning a game I am currently playing), I've actually written something of a competent review of Soul Calibur IV for my band's website. If you'd like to take a look at it, you can follow the link here to the front page or click here to view it on our forums and potentially leave a comment if you see fit to do so.

Try to sell her for a high price.

FFIV is pissing me off... I forgot how horribly unfun RPGs were. I really should have known better.

By the way, for those playing SCIV... I know I suck, but how the hell do you perform a Critical Finish? A+B+G+K when the opponent's bar is flashing red and your own white, right? Doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Some one-hit-KO's would really come in handy in that damn tower where I keep running out of time.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-07-2008, 12:12 PM

When their Soul Gauge is flashing red, you can essentially break their guard or "Soul Crush" the opponent for a split second when they block an attack. You'll see it as sort of an explosion of red electricity and the opponent will reel a bit. THAT'S when you hit all four face buttons. It doesn't always happen immediately, but if you see that red energy, go for it immediately, because it's easy to miss. I initially thought that your Soul Gauge had to be full in order to do this, but it appears that this is not the case.

*Brodie* · 08-07-2008, 02:55 PM

The online in SC4 is really wuite broken. It either doesn't find matches, or you need to dick with a menu to MAYBE find a match. Then you usually end up fighting someone at a match level 70+, when you just start.

Ah, I see. That sounds like it's not very likely to happen often, but the floor I'm stuck on (20) just happens to be occupied with block-happy assholes, so I might have a shot. Thanks.

Warhawk for PS3.

I can't believe none of my PS3-loving friends (they all pitched in money as a birthday gift so I would buy one) told me about this game. There I was, thinking it was just some jetfighter game I'd never like and it's actually a really fun combat game.

I'm still getting to grips with it and it's tough when using the 'pro-flight' scheme to have full control over the jets (got to start sometime) but I'm doing okay against the other 'recruits'...in dogfights anyway.

Now to get myself a DS3 and some actual triggers on my pad.

愛 · 08-20-2008, 04:24 PM

I uh...I bought Kingdom Hearts II today.

I kinda feel like an idiot for never picking this game up. Back when it came out, I was poor, so I couldn't get it. After that, it just slipped my mind. But oh well. Better late (REALLY LATE) than never, right?

Peanut · 08-21-2008, 07:29 PM

I got Too Human last night, been playing it all day today. I love it.
