What games are you playing?

I've also been playing FIFA (on xbox 360). The graphics are impressive character and field wise, good shading, and weather effects. For some reason I still find the crowds to be completely junky looking. The ads on the side are as annoying though not nearly as bad as Fight Night Round 3 which was bombarded with ads from BK. 72 teams is awesome, and gameplay has been improved this time round (though only slightly.)
 
Halo 2 is highly overrated..Their are better gun games out, and a lot more fun games in general. Plus it is over-run by 12 year olds with squeaky voices telling me my life is worthless.
 
After finishing 1/2 Life 2, I put in Ico for a quick replay. I just love that game to death and since I have all the puzzles memorized I can play through it in about 5 hours (because I stop to look around and enjoy the atmosphere).

I then picked up Legacy Of Kain : Defiance. I think that Soul Reaver is one of the best games I have ever played. When it came out for the PSOne I fell in love with it.

Soul Reaver 2 was a disappointment on the PS2. Tons of cut scenes... no bosses, confusing storyline. Just overall kind of "bleh".

With Defiance, I was hoping that they took the time to do it right. This one STILL hits short of the mark. I am playing it on the X-Box and it's buggy, the controls suck and the camera is driving me up the friggin' wall.

Not sure what happened to these series of games, but after Soul Reaver they have just gone downhill.
 
GTA: Liberty City Stories - there's a review coming soon as I've almost beaten it but in brief if you played GTA III it's VERY familiar, still heaps of fun at a bargain price but you will recognise almost all of the game in one form or another.
 
I got GTA: Liberty City Stories when it came out for the PSP and played it non-stop until I got to Staunton. Then something else captured my attention... I think it was Shadow Of The Colossus.... anyway, I need to get back to it.

The only thing I don't like about it compared to GTA III is that there seem to be a lot more people out to get you in this one as you're just driving around. Sometimes I just want to cruise and check out the sights, but then find myself surrounded by like 20 people all wanting to kill me. I spent a lot of time in GTA III just taking in the sights and hunting for secret packages.

I had remembered ALL the street layouts from GTA III and they are exactly the same :) I think that's pretty cool. Can't wait to get to Shoreside Vale, although I hear this time you can't fly a DoDo.
 
Everyday I usually play Oblivion for about half an hour..But right now the game im playing the most is the New Super Mario Bros. game. It is such a good game compared to the other platformers I've played on the DS recently. New elements in the game add a lot and the most important thing is that it is incredibly fun.
 
Burnout Revenge Live on the 360.

And ima getting my ass whooped. :eek:
 
I rented Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories (PS2), and Hitman: Blood Money (xbox 360). Both are pretty fun, the differences on Hitman: Blood Money are pretty marginal over the current gen versions.
 
Are they? That's disappointing I'd heard good things about it.

I'm currently playing Vice City through again having got the GTA bug from Liberty City Stories, it's the one GTA I never gave my complete attention and played over a long time period so enjoying a concentrated dose now :D
 
I'm playing Battle For Middle Earth II. My friend got it, and didn't like it that much so I lended him Oblivion in exchange. The game is good, the graphics don't have that much of a next gen feel on standard definition and they get a lot worse in big battles. Speaking of big battles, the frame-rate gets quite bogged down in the them. Overall though this was a big improvement over the first game, single-player is fun and multi-player offers four good modes as well.
 
Went back to the original Everquest. With the new Progression servers up, it is like living a nightmare all over again...but it is fun anyway.
 
well let's see on my ps2 i'm playing: kingdom hearts 2, naruto ultimate ninja, Gba DK:KoS, Drill Dozer: Rivierra the promised land, FE:SS, one piece, Naruto: ninja council. DS: big brain academy, castlevania dawn of sorrow, nintendogs, Mario and Luigi partners in time

Hehe, same 'ere. Not sure how long my interest will last, it's definately strange playing original EQ again after so many years :)
