Thought this would be ain interesting topic, so yeah. List the game you're playing and a brief summary on it. (This should be interesting)

NBA 06 - Pretty good game; you make your own character, work on your stats, work to get endorsed, get an agent, work on fame, that sorta thing. "The life of an NBA star." (Oh, and if you have this, PM me if you're interested in playing online)
We Love Katamari - One word: ADDICTIVE

taktwo · 11-06-2005, 11:12 PM

Star Wars Battlefront II - yeah, heres the cool things, theres new troopers, you can play as a sith or jedi,space battles, new places, smarter cpus,and the greatest new thing about this game is...WOOKIES HAVE DREADLOCKS!Now heres the bad things, they gave the dark trooper a gun that shoots electricity stuff, the space battle areas are sorta small,it now mission based like "go kill this dude" or "get this base" or "grab this disk", no more just killing guys, the cpus are even smarter, so that means smarter bad guys, but even though there smarter, they still seem as duwm as dirt, and its just so...differnt from the first one, I give this game a...7/10

The Doctor · 11-07-2005, 01:46 PM

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
Turn based Strategy, revolving around a prince of a netherworld, and becoming overlord. And stuff. You really need to play the game to understand it.

PenguinMan · 11-07-2005, 03:37 PM

Guitar Hero - Play a guitar-shaped controller along with the scrolling notes. Another rhythm game, and totally awesome thanks to the songlist.

imported_Andrew · 11-07-2005, 04:10 PM

^ How similar is it compared to guitar freaks or Gitaroo man?

Haggar* · 11-12-2005, 06:09 AM

NBA 06 is crazy, I can't get enough of NBA Life mode, i just wish all sports games had a sim/rpg element liek NBA 06. It makes it way better than any other bball game for PS2. I need a router for my PS2 but as soon as I get one I will be playing NBA 06 all night!

I've played it, don't worry. [img]tongue.gif[/img] PRINNY FTW

The Doctor · 11-14-2005, 04:56 PM

Prinny Dood! Prinnies are the best things in the world. Although getting the God Prinny was a pain.

I've been enjoying the heck out of Wild Arms Alter Code: F lately. Next up I hope to finally get around to playing ICO.

kungakahn · 11-28-2005, 12:30 PM

I just discovered morrowind and NBA 06. The nba 06 is my top game of the moment. plenty to keep me going with the new nba life feature. i think sony kicked butt with this one!! online gaming is the best man. i sooo love it

The Doctor · 11-29-2005, 07:44 AM

Makai Kingdom- Another game made by the people that done Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, this time your an overlord, who went to protect his world from being destroyed, but ended up inside a book, and without his world. Basically you help him get his own world back. You create character much like in Phantom Brave (Another game made by the same people). In which you confine Characters to items, like Rocks, Flowers, Trees, Weapons.

Galen · 01-25-2006, 07:07 PM

Been playing these games, some might be a few months old, (some people find even just two months long enough to declare a game 'old') but they kick serious buttox. ^^

Dynasty Warriors 5: It's a really awesome action game, you basically fight in old China, fighting against armies of near-endless (if you can do it right, you can kill thousands upon thousands of soldiers, I was heaven) soldiers. There's lots of different maps, a lot of differing missions... you have over fifty heroes to choose from, nearly all of them unique (the leaders of each big familly all just have a regular sword), not to mention a bunch of different weapons, costumes, saddles -- you can start with a horse or elephant when you have one of those, -- orbs that give elemental power, and a bodyguard. The bad news about it is that you can't ceate your own officer anymore, which sucks, and you only have one bodyguard, but if you get a good bodyguard, he or she can dish out hell to your enemies. ^^

Onimusha 3: I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one, I haven't played the second one though. You get a brief time playing with the weapons from the first game, but i think the weapons and powers of this one are more fun. You actually get passive abilities like having all the souls become red ones to boost your weapons and armor, or standing still can slowly heal you (trust me, this is a life saver in this game!). The good thing about this one is Jean Reno (my fav french actor), his whip-throw can even toss the big tough guys, which is very useful throughout the game. The bad thing is that you can't upgrade arrows, and though it's a lot longer than most PS2 games (it's one thing that I don't like about most action games on the PS2), it's still too short for my tastes.

Radiata Stories: Awesome game, good battle system, good music, funny characters, good story. The way to get other characters to put them in your party's fun, if a little irritating at some times. Some of the bad things, the main charater is a freaking moron in the beginning of the game, a lot of choices you do in the game influences everything else you do after, and it's a pain to know what's the good choice... A good game if you're patient.

Star Ocean, Till End Of Time: The graphics are awesome, the story and all the info of this game's amazing, the weapons, items, monsters and characters are cool, and the battle system is pretty nifty. The problem I have with it is that when you level up, you don't get your stats raised, you get a few measly points so you can raise the level of your Hp, Mp, attack and Defense. Hp is how much of it you get everytime you go up a level, same thing for Mp, attack and Defense is how good the character will be defending or attacking.

I Want Shadow Of The Colossus

Codiekitty · 01-25-2006, 10:33 PM

Mega Man X Collection - A compilation of Mega Man Xs 1-6. If you couldn't figure that out by the name, get help. Although it does contain Mega Man Battle & Chase which is a surprise.

I've done Mega Man Xs 1-4, 4 with both X and Zero.

X - Excellence.

X2 - Another fine game.

X3 - Strangely, this is the PSX/Saturn version, although it's 95% identical to the SNES version. Just the music is remixed and there's some anime cutscenes ala X4 only without talking (probably a good thing). I still think this is the weakest of the SNES trilogy.

X4 - This game isn't anywhere NEAR as good as I remember it being. The X game is flatout boring (although the final boss is actually a decent fight) and and the Zero game isn't a whole lot better.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Valentine · 01-26-2006, 07:43 AM

Heh, I've been playing Disgaea recently too, I never did complete the story as I was much more interested in diving into items. Blasting through 100 floors and beating the Item God is pretty satisfying I can tell you.

The Doctor · 01-26-2006, 12:40 PM

That's one thing I still need to do on that game, is the Item God.

ShyGuy727 · 01-29-2006, 12:10 AM

I bought Metal Gear Solid 2 for 4.99 on Friday cause I'm grounded this weekend and needed something to do. MGS games shoot my nerves like no other, I can't play them at night, period.

Sonic 5 · 01-29-2006, 09:43 PM

Jak X: Combat Racing- Newest J&D game,no longer platforming.But that's ok, you get to blow **** up. And race. The vehicles handle great (I don't know why people complain so much about the ones in Jak 3). I love playing deathmatch and deathrace. The story mode is good too. Though, it always seems like Ashelin is out to kill me. Those missles come outta nowhere, when I'm just a meter from the finish line. And the electricity ball...*tightens hoodie* The horror...The horror...

Gumby, dammit · 01-30-2006, 09:13 PM

God of War
Play as Kratos as you set out on a quest to kill Ares.
I think I should stop playing this. Challenge of the Gods made me foam at the mouth and yell naughty words at the screen.

I'm currently playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Mario Kart DS.
