[quote name='botticus']Pics plz.[/QUOTE]

lol, ok, I just have to finish putting up my Ebay auctions and I'll snap a picture, and dig most of the games out of the pile.

One of them is not here yet though =O

I've pretty much paid $100 (give or take) for all of these:

Rainbow Six Vegas
Age of Empires Collection
Age of Empires 3: War Chiefs
Battlefield 2142
Dawn of War Dark Crusade
Battle for Middle Earth 2: Rise of the Witch King
Fallout Collection
Baldur's Gate Compliation (all 4 DVD's in one package, woot)
Jade Empire

The only PC games I have left to get on my little list of interesting games are Supreme Commander and Titan Quest: Immortal Throne.

Other than that, I own pretty much everything that's been decent on the PC for the last few years or so.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Ha, 3 games isn't a PC high... I think I've gotten about 10 PC games in the last week ;)

11 if I decide to go for SupCom.[/QUOTE]

Bah... I think all totalled, I've gotten like 15 or 16 games in the last two weeks. Which is sickwidit for me at least.

I have like... 6 or 7 games I still need to get and then my collection is complete.

Edit: Oh, and I think I have every PC game I'm interested in now.

Yea, I only have a few left to go before I move - Yggdra Union, Metal Slug Anthology, some imports, the two games I mentioned above, and that's it.

Now I gotta wait the 6 years it takes for Play-Asia to ship my Trizeal and GG Slash... luckily on the next order I'm going for 3 - 5 day expensive Fed Ex shipping.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Lessee... uhm... I'm a good bit into Chapter 12 and I'm about 28 hours in. So yeah, I can definitely see this going over 30 hours a bit. Which is what I wanted. The progressions really slowed down over time... I remember thinking that at the current rate, the game would be over in like 15 hours or something ridiculous like that. I've done a decent amount of levelling and such.

After this, I'm moving onto Tomb Raider Anniversary for teh PC.[/QUOTE]

Good lord, man, I don't see how you could finish RG in 30 hours (or less than 50, really), especially if you did any levelling. I would think the cut scenes alone are about half that :rofl:.

I take it you didn't do any of the optional stuff? I forgot I also spent a long time making the factory items (and I'm done with that along with the bounties). I can't stress this enough - DO the bounties at the very least. They are all fun boss fights and none are particularly hard. But they do provide some variety from the regular battles in any case. And it is a fairly easy thing to complete too (I would say no more than 2-3 extra hours if you do it towards the end when you have all the items you need for it).

But if you haven't gotten to
Mariglenn
yet, you actually have a ways to go and you'll end up well over 30 hours. Like I said earlier, just the final battle(s) + cut scenes + credit will run 2-3 hours in itself. And you have a lot to do in the final area before you even get to those. OK, looking at the guide if you are in chapter 12 then you are already at the spoiler place, and are probably half done with that. So maybe you don't have too much left...
 
Nothing I can think of on the PS1... at least, no good games. For the PSP, there's Tales of Eternia (which... I guess is on the PS1 as well... but this version is much better.) It's got a 2D battle system which works well and I really, really enjoyed the game. I did all the extra stuff in the game and it took me around 28 hours... I blaze through RPGs though, so that's a significant chunk of time for an RPG.
 
All I've been playing is my PSP. It's sad. Everything else is being neglected.

Enjoying Metal Gear Acid 2, a lot, OutRun 2, Even found a real cheap GTA:Vice City Stories and that's fun too. (VC was my favorite GTA, i realize there's problems, but nostalgia does a good job of blurring that) That doesn't even count playing the Streets of Rage games, River City Ransom, Actraiser, and Mega Man Legends.

Oh and Mega Man Powered Up. That game is real difficult.
 
I've been going through gaming ADD around here. I started Saint's Row, but there's really going to be a game to play when my wife is not around. With GTA4 around the corner, I'm not sure if it'll hold my attention, but we'll see.

The 360's almost been seeing some time with Tomb Raider: Legend this evening, and the surprise of the year in Pac-Man CE. Gosh, that game is far more fun than it has any right to be.

PSP is seeing LocoRoco yet. I'm on the home stretch of getting through the levels there (like 5 left I think). Daxter's been paused for a while but I think I'll pick that up after LR is "done." I should probably wait till after I beat Daxter before I pick up R&C:SM... kinda hoping that'll see a price drop to $20 in the near future. Also kicking back a game of Mega Man 3 that I started tonight. Top Man ate my hard kunckle. Time to move on.

DS and Wii have been kinda silent as I catch up on missed games on my two more recent console purchases, though the Wii RE4 will demand play time when it hits next week.

Like I said, ADD.
 
I've also been playing Chromehounds a lot this weekend - trying to gear up for the possible CAG squad deal on Tuesday. I actually like the single-player except I'm stuck on a wonky mission that keeps giving me "Failed" messages without any explanation and as far as I can tell I'm doing exactly what it says to do (I think it's the 5th or 6th Scout mission). So I just skipped that and went to the next story.
 
Played the hell out of the VC the last 3 days. Played SoR2 quite a bit (4 playthroughs, although I died on Mr. X twice.) Played some Mario Kart 64, Super Castlevania IV, beat Gunstar Heroes and played a shit ton Wii Baseball with a friend (probably seriously played 15 games.)

I also picked up Wii Play and have been enjoying that.

Slightly off-topic, but.... anyone know if Nintendo will replace a broken Wii-Mote? Although I can't really prove it, it is, in all honesty, the one that came with my Wii that I got in November.

I really need to consolidate the collection as well. I've got a saints row I got in a trade from a CAG that's almost untouched. I don't even play the 360 much at all now, since I don't have broadband.
 
I forgot how much I love the Prince of Persia games. I started playing The Two Thrones this weekend and I love this style of game. Definitely my favorite of the three games I picked up at the B2G1 sale. Urban Reign is cool, but I thought it was a co-op multiplayer beat-em-up and it doesn't seem that way at all. And God Hand is awesome but I see how it gets repetitive.

Two Thrones is pretty awesome. I remember getting Warrior Within on Black Friday, and then as soon as I beat it Two Thrones came out. Best timing ever.


And for the record, I'm probably in the minority but I liked WW the best.
 
Pretty sure I'm at the very end of Rogue Galaxy now. At least, I've gotten all the save points on
Mariglenn
, so I'd be surprised if it wasn't the very end.

You are correct... kinda.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Interesting. Well, say no more.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you are near the end except for what I warned you of before ;). (Be prepared for some LONG cut scenes...)
So how many hours have you logged at this point? You probably only have 2 more to go.
 
The credits are a'rollin' for Rogue Galaxy. Yeah, that was a long f'in boss battle. Aaanway, fucking good game. If you like RPGs, go git' it. I might write a full review later, but yeah, combat is fun.
 
Congrats on rogue galaxy. I haven't had much time to play this week, I started a full time internship this week so I can finish college.

I am about halfway through Daxter, and it's so good. I never had any interest in these games, but it's really what I wish Mario/Nintendo was coming out with on a regular basis, instead of every 5 years.
 
So after beating Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance I started playing Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Really liking it better then Harmony so far. Im also playing PoPoLoCrois for the PSP. The load time are terrible but besides that,Im really enjoying this game. It's a fun and simpile rpg.
 
Passed Phoenix Wright 2 a few days ago. It was OK, not as fun as the first one. Hopefully they hurry up and finish porting the GBA versions so that they can create a real DS Phoenix Wright game.

Started Playing Call of Duty 3 again. Need 3 more mission.
 
Cant think of anything offhand this year that has me excited enough about a full retail price purchase anymore. I'm waiting on Growlanser V, Persona 3, and GrimGrimoire

Currently playing:

Super Robot Taisen
Final Fantasy 3
Raiden 3
Fallout 2
Odin Sphere
Advance Wars 2

After I clear most of those, I'll start hitting up the various games on the Sega Genesis Collection, the two Capcom Classics Collections, Taito Legends 2, and the Red Star. Oh, and Planescape: Torment
 
Current gaming life:

--odin sphere is fucking great. 5 hours in, it just seems to get better and better.

--kinda started Nocturne again today. talking about it with some other cags during SF2 the other night made me want to play it again.

--Shadow of the Colossus upscaled = wow. Hard mode doesn't seem that much harder. it's sad playing through again knowing that (major spoiler):
I really shouldn't be killing them.
puts a very different spin on the game the 2nd time through.

--got a complete (w/ everything but the controller skin) DDS 1 at GS today. I got one clerk to put it on hold who had no idea what it was, thankfully. when I got there, all the cashiers were staring at it like it was porn when I bought it. kinda scary.
 
I am so DAMN excited about Tekken 5: DR ONLINE (PS3) !

I've been playing T5DR lately, and Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles :p

Going to start Persona 3 and Blue Dragon this weekend... X_X....
 
Speaking of Lumines, I'm on the fence with Lumines Plus. I had the PSP game, thought it was pretty good, but I forget if it was really something great. I mean, is the game fun only in a portable setting because it's a time waster, or would it be fun to play even on a standard console?
 
Passed Call of Duty 3 today. I kinda want to start Splinter Cell Double Agent but I need to finish Condemned first.
 
Finally started playing FFXII this week (got it for Christmas) and so far I really like it. The voice-acting is piss poor though.
 
Yeah, the quality of FFXII's voice acting is strange. It sounds like downsampled MP3 from the N64. Maybe there was just too much of it to fit on the DVD.

Daxter is consistently impressive.
 
I'll be getting TR on Wii. Mostly because I've got no time for it right now. The 1upYours guys said that the developers had delayed it to make it more Wii-specific and avoid the "tacked on controls" syndrome.

Good to hear the actual game is good, though.
 
Just finished Mega Man 3 (NES) last night. Mmm, that's such a great game. I love playing through the MM2 Robot Masters. I remember that, as a kid, that was lost on me as I never had MM2 nor did anyone I know have it. But I got MM3 for my birthday. I just mean MM2 a few weeks ago, so it was especially fun.

Also finished up LocoRoco. I'm not sure I have the patience to try for 100%, but that game is fantasticly fun. I've not messed around with the LocoHouse yet. Is that anything worthwhile?

Also beat all the modes in Pac-Man CE, which ranks just under the DS in immense change from inital reaction of mocking to in the end loving the thing. I'm only missing the 400k achievment. Might try for that later in the week.

Right now the 360 is chewing on Tomb Raider: Legend. I think I might put Daxter back in the PSP and finish that up. After having a few slow months, I'm really starting to eat through the games I've been wanting to play!
 
Mega Man 3 was probably the MM game I spent the most time on as I was a kid... I forgot what grade I was in, 3rd or 4th, but it was GOOD times... I remember accidentally finding out the 2P code to freeze/super jump etc... and that was WOW, I even typed up an explaination on how to do the code on my old Apple II GS CPU and mailed it in to Nintendo Power and it ended up being featured in the Classified Information issue a month or two later!

Mega Man 3 is
 
Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 represent all that is good about the concept of Mega Man. Nothing else even comes close. Not even the original X, for as good as it is, can touch 2 or 3.

2's soundtrack is fantastic; 3's is only a step behind.
 
MagnetMan stage- It's in your head.

X, X4, and X5 are all worthwhile to play. Don't forget Legends.

[quote name='MarkMan']Finally started Persona 3... I love the art direction in this one... :)[/quote]

You got it already? I know you review games but it's over a month before its release!
 
Started playing The Godfather on 360 last week, enjoying it so far. Nearly "finished" Tiger Woods 07 as I've only got the last two Fed Ex cup tournies to do in the PGA Tour season, will probably only play it occasionally online after that.

On the penultimate mission of single player Rainbow 6 Vegas, still got plenty of Co-Op stuff to do though. Once the single player's done on that I'll start playing through Ghost Recon 2.
