Why are you playing all of these franchises that you hate, hmmmmm?

But I agree, Zero Mission is a wonderful game.

It was a ton of fun. I beat it in a single sitting, if that's any indication of how much I liked it. I'm ready to start on Super Metroid tomorrow.

I'm watching a run of Zero Mission right now, and damn, it's blowing my MIND!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-22-2009, 08:27 PM

You're playing them in the right order then. Zero Mission is the second best in the series, and one of the finest games I've ever played. Super Metroid is one of the best damn games of all time, so savor it.

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 12:14 AM

I'm guessing I'm around halfway through Super Metroid, and it's still awesome. I gotta say, I was kinda into Zero Mission more, though. I got a friend to grab me a copy of Prime (again) so I can start on that once I'm finished. I've got a copy of Fusion waiting for me, as well.

I also started into the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil. It still controls like ass, but at least it looks nice. I'm cautiously optimistic about it thus far.

**Barkworm** · 02-24-2009, 12:20 AM

I could never really get into Super Metroid. I guess there's not enough handholding for my taste. I always liked the GBA ones more, especially Fusion which is probably one of my favourite games ever.

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 12:23 AM

Yeah, I think that's what makes it feel a little off to me too. It feels like there's no real objective at any point. I'd like a couple nods in specific directions every once in awhile. I usually feel like I'm just bouncing around in the dark without any real purpose.

I heard Fusion was pretty objective based, so that seems like it'll be just what I'm looking for.

**Barkworm** · 02-24-2009, 12:29 AM

Yeah, Fusion was even criticised for having too much "spoon feeding" but I enjoyed the hell out of it. I guess I'm just not that hardcore nor do I want to be.

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 12:34 AM

Hey, if I've learned anything about being a truly "hardcore gamer", it's that you not only have to be deprived of the knowledge of where to go and what to do at all times, but you've got to do it on "Trying to make off for having a small penis" difficulty. You know, the one where you've got replay the same sequence 30 times in a row until you're either super "skilled" or you get a lucky break and the cheap AI gets stuck in the level geometry?

Man, we're just not good enough for that kind of sh*t.

**Barkworm** · 02-24-2009, 12:42 AM

It's a true shame.

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron (PSP)

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 03:14 PM

Dude, change your f*cking avatar already. It makes me feel nauseous every time I see it.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-24-2009, 07:21 PM

That was the intention. Mission accomplished!

*edit*

Better?

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 08:46 PM

Much. I don't want to stab out my eyes anymore. Your user title still makes me wary, though.

Bigfoot · 02-24-2009, 08:52 PM

I know I'm pretty late with this, but I just got Prince of Persia for $16 on ebay. I haven't gotten it yet and was just wondering if the game sucks, or if I got a good deal.

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 08:55 PM

The new Prince of Persia? What? You're gonna have to be more specific. If it's the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox one, you got raped, but that's an amazing price for the new one. If it turns out to be an actual copy of the game.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-24-2009, 09:01 PM

Just picked up the few missing/worn out issues in my Nintendo Power collection. Now I've got a complete set from #1-#200.

Peanut · 02-24-2009, 09:02 PM

That's bad ass. I've got like 10 left of my collection. I recently had about 7 years worth of game magazines thrown out on me. F*cking depressing.

~~AquaParade~~ · 02-25-2009, 10:27 AM

Super late on this, but I finally got around to playing Mass Effect. I'm basically at the part where I just got my own ship. Sad thing is, I hardly know where to go from here. I really don't think of myself as dumb when it comes to videogames, but I really feel like this game has thrown me into this big world with few directions...I just am anxious to finally have the hang of it. It's a neat game, but I hope the general idea is that it starts out kinda slow, because with all the hype, I've yet to experience anything really great yet. I'm sure it will pick up though. Thoughts?
