Agh, SotC's another I need to beat. D: I still haven't tried beating the stupid turtle again -__-' (only boss #9). I can't get up its legs. But I agree, it's an awesome game. I haven't heard of the hawk or the fruit, but my brother told me that he found on GameFaqs or something that you could increase your health by killing the animals. So he tries to run over the poor lizards with Agro all the time. << Ico's at your GameStop, Smashy? I'm jealous. There were three copies I found of SotC in my GameStop (including the one I nabbed), but no Ico, and it didn't show up on GameStop's online search.

Add Mega Man Zero 3. I'm struggling. It will probably take a very long time.

There's a turtle colossus in SotC? O_o I've just been running/riding around in the west for lizards and fruit. The health bar is just about halfway across the screen by now and the stamina is doing well since every jump up a cliffside is taking less and less. I have to say, I love the western Cape. It's so beautiful... Almost back to the center of the land and then it'll be time to head to the third colossus. ^^
Ico's at a few GameStops actually. >>; I just don't have the cash for it (and I must've seen it on a day it was on sale since it's 28 bucks now). :/ So instead I'll try for Space Channel 5. A happy Smasher am I.

Good luck on MegaMan Zero 3.

[Penelopi]

There's a turtle colossus in SotC?

Yes, and it's faster than most other colossi. So much for a turtle. And it shoots beams of doom from its mouth, so run under it asap. That's the only place that's safe.

Good luck on MegaMan Zero 3.

Thanks.

[SmashQueen]

A turtle that runs fas- What? ...Ugh. That's going to be a pain.

Oh, and add Space Channel 5: Special Edition alongside SotC.

[Musashi_HUmar]

Lately I've been playing a lot of the first Final Fantasy on NES.

[JaxTH]

Sonic '06.

All i have to do is S Rank "End of the World"...My right hand hurts though...

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

Final Fantasy IV ... on every platform I can get my hands on...

Good luck on MMZ3, Penelopi. XD

I'm also playing the after years. Does anyone else think Ceodore's name is... tacky?

[Nemoide]

I've started Final Fantasy VI - after I beat this one I'll be halfway through the series! So far I'm liking it more than the previous games, the graphics are a big step up - more along the lines of Chrono Trigger, and the story looks potentially more interesting than FFIV.

I guess this is the Final Fantasy club. I liked FFIV but the story had some kind of ridiculous elements that hurt it. The original Final Fantasy was incredibly dull IMO, but at least was better than the second one, which had dreadful mechanics.

[viperxmns]

Cleared MadWorld.. indeed not a long game, but it's an arcade style score attack kind of game, like NiD, hopefully something I'll come back to now and then. However with NMH2 on the horizon, along with TvC, there will be yet more Wii games to pursue. And I still have to figure when I'll get around to modding my arcade stick to use on the Wii.. need Cthulhu MC add-on, a GameCube cable that then has to be soldered.. it's so annoying that the Wii's USB ports can't be used for sticks.

I should probably get back into BlazBlue now.. haven't played that enough yet. Must get Bayonetta demo.

[Zero-Shift]

I'm playing Bayonetta. I'd tell you what I think but I'm too busy playing Bayonetta to bother at the moment.

[JaxTH]

I got 1000/1000 in Sonic '06.

Also, Bayonetta GET!

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

@ Nemiode

Overall, the stroy of VI is better than that of IV, but it lacks real focus on a main character, and that bugs me. I also think that some of the characters need impprovment, specifically Terra and Locke. I've played (and beat) every FF game but IX, and prefer the titles before VII, overall.

The DS version of IV is, by far, the most difficult instalment of the game to date. I hope they make a PSP instalment and raise the difficulty even more.

To be truthful, I like the Tales Series far better than the Final Fantasy Series. The plots aren't as... strange. FF VII felt like taking some roller coaster ride, and some of that games moments flet LSD induced.

But, back to what I'm playing in the now... I beat Demon Wall in IV, got to the moon, and watched our dear Cecil freak out... fans of this title will know what he's having a meltdown over. I find that the Elemental Archfiends are quite difficult in this version, but I will beat them... XD The problem I have (as usual) is that status effects are carried over and that my poor little Paladin is not quite a high enough level (even though he's 12 whole levels higher than Edge, my lowest leveled character) to be able to support the team on his back as in past boss battles. That means that I can ultimately look forward to hours of level grinding that Cecil doesn't need, but Edge and Rydia do (becuase FuSoYa cannot be bothered with changing his stats, and leveling up as him is a superficial process. The only way to raise his health is to use Silver or Gold Apples - rare items indeed). My Rosa is just fine, she never ever dies. Her Magic Defense and normal Defense are high enough that I don't worry about it at all.

Anyway, now that I'm done whining , I can talk about the game from the standpoint of voice acting... the only voice that I loathe in that game is Kain's. It's too deep, and I never imagined him sounding that way at all. I have a problem with Cid's voice, but can't complain becuase it fits him. My overall fave voice is Rosa's, it's comforting, just as I always imagined it to be. Cecil is a very close second, as I find his voice to be interesting and oddly fitting of him.
The Graphics are very beautiful for a DS game, (that' s my art teachers fault) and I like the opening CG, it's awesome. Sometimes the load times are a bit slow, but it's a great game (and fairly true to the original).

[JaxTH]

Oh geez...I suck at the Space Harrier part in Bayonetta. And i though the Hang-On part was bad enough.

[SurREAL]

...I want Bayonetta too, but I don't have a PS3

Right now I am juggling between Crisis Core: FFVII and my new Dissidia Final Fantasy. I'm in Destiny Odyssey I-3. Playing as Zidane in a Quick Battle ROCKS!!!

my new Sega dreamcast sonic adventure 1 and 2

that's all at the moment

[Sierra]

Psychonauts, again. XD (I said this in another topic)

Anyone who owns a PS2, Xbox, or PC needs to get and play this game. (I think Steam has it) So pretty much all of you who read this, GET IT, it's worth it! Unless you already own it, in which case, go replay it and see how many things you missed.

Meat Circus, here I come!

[Lenneth]

Okay, first of all, because of christmas, there's looooooooooooooads of games I have to play now(not that I'd mind, since I don't have any real hobby outside gaming*cough*).

Bayonetta(360 version) (Gosh I can clearly see why this game was so hyped for. The gameplay is totally addicting, I mean even farming halos is fun, and that's something to say, that farming is fun! Oh and I really like the story too, I've only played through chapter 7 yet, but it makes me all the more curious for more. Although that Joy-Angel, kinda disturbed me...)
A Boy and His blob(Wii) (Awwww, uber cuteness! It kinda feels like playing your favorite childhood movie, and offers some unexpected challenges!)
Star Ocean First Departure(PSP) (I don't like it as much as Second Evolution, which had more intriguiging characters in my oppinion, but it's still pretty intresting.)
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World(Wii) (Besides reviews saying that it would be pretty crappy, I just had to play it since I loved the first game. Thus far I like it pretty much, but the art style bothers me a bit. Not that it would be bad, but some things like textures, seemed better in the original game XD)
Tales of Vesperia(360) (It looks sooo lovely, but I didn't play it too much yet)
Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (this one is driving me nuts, it's waaaaaaay too hard for me>.<)

[JaxTH]

Phantasy Star Portable.

[Auto-Fox]

At the moment, I am playing Virtua Racing Deluxe for the 32X.
...
Shut up! I think it's a BETTER game than the Saturn version. You get 2 more types of cars than the standard F1, and two more tracks.
Also, I happen to like that old mushroom... NiGHTS was originally being developed for IT, y'know!

[Sierra]

Nobody said anything, man. XD You actually have a 32X, though? *shiny eyes*

[Auto-Fox]

^^ The voices in my head must be getting bolder.
...
What's that? NO! I told you people I won't burn things anymore.
^^ And yesh! I has a 32X... I have the following games for it:
- Virtua Racing Deluxe.
- Star Wars Arcade.
- Shadow Squadron.
- Motocross Championship.
- Tempo.
I'm trying to get Cosmic Carnage and T-Mek for it as well... there's a semi-local retro-gaming store I know that has a few 32X games.

[Nemoide]

I have a 32X too! Let me give you this advice: don't get Cosmic Carnage. It's a crap fighting game. The main mechanic is "whoever can get the other guy into a corner first wins." The best 32X games I've played are Knuckles' Chaotix and Blackthorne. I've also heard Kolibri is good, since it was made by the developers of Ecco?

LET'S GET A FULL RUNDOWN OF WHAT I'M PLAYING ATM!
Final Fantasy VI - easily the best FF game thus far. And it has replay value due to the fact that different things can happen!
Super Street Fighter II Turbo - after getting "pretty good" at Super Street Fighter II, I decided to move up to Turbo. Once again, I am back to being a pile of suck - there are more differences between Super and Super Turbo than I initially realized. T_T
Dance Dance Revolution - I just realized I haven't mentioned this. But I try to play every day, failing that at least four times a week. I own the original DDR for PS1, DDR Ultramix 1-4 for Xbox, DDR X for PS2, and In the Groove for PS2. I cycle through all of them. (I technically own DDR 2nd Mix for Dreamcast but my PS-to-DC converter creates a lag making it unplayable. T_T)

I've also been mixing this up with oldschool arcade games. From the Capcom Classics Collection, the Fatal Fury Battle Archives, World Heroes Anthology, and the occasional "other." I HAVE BEEN ON A MANIACAL VIDEO GAME SPREE!

[Auto-Fox]

I'd like to get both those titles, but Blackthorne is EX-SPEN-SIVE, and the shop I go to NEVER has Knuckles Chaotix.
Right now, I'm mostly just concerned with expanding my collection...
...another game I'd like to get is Virtua Fighter for 32X... supposedly it's not a bad game. Virtua Racing Deluxe is the best Virtua Racing port I've yet played, so I guess the 'Virtua' franchises got pretty good representation on the console.
I need to get a version of DDR... PS1, PS2 OR Dreamcast, I don't care what it is as long as I can use the dance pad.
*also, takes another look at my copies of Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition for Sega Genesis, and Fighters History of SNES as well*

[JaxTH]

There is only like...30 something 32X games, maybe even less.

NOW GET KNUCKLES CHAOTIX!

[Leonhart]

Currently still playing Dissidia, though i'd rather be playing Bayonetta >_<

GAH I MUST BUY IT NOW!

[striker0]

I'm currently playing Phantasy Star 0 on the DS.
Man Wifi multiplayer is fun!

[Noctourne Wonderland]

Pokemon Pearl is probably the best Pokemon game I've played. It looks good, the story (if you can really call it that; so far there isn't much of one) is good, and it's just fun. I'm looking forward to the remakes coming soon.

[Mr.Me]

i'm (sorta) playing Diamond/Platinum to make a new team (stupid eevee not getting a calm nature)

[JaxTH]

Eternal Sonata (360)

[Roam]

As of now? Pokemon Platinum, Mass Effect 2, and Phantasy Star 0.

[Innotech]

well I just got a Ps3 to complete the trifects

Currently playing NFS:Shift, Ratchet and Clank future: Tools of destruction, and LittleBigPlanet

On Wii Im currently addicted to endless Ocean 2 and Ultimate shooter collection and on 360 Im knee deep in Forza 3.
I also picked up Banjo and Kazooie 3 but havent tried it yet.

[Penelopi]

I've been playing my brother's copy of Metroid Zero Mission. I beat it on easy mode years ago, so now I'm playing through on normal.

[Innotech]

Uncharted 2 and Little Kings Story

[NNR07]

TF2, L4D2, MW2, BC2, and the occassional game of R.U.S.E.

[Nemoide]

I'm playing through the Gamecube version of Resident Evil as Chris. This game screws with your mind in a terrible way. I dislike the fact that zombies can break into rooms through windows/doors. GONE is the feeling of safety you could have in the original version. It destroys my nerves, which is why I've never beaten the game as both characters.

I've also been playing Mega Man & Bass for Gameboy Advance through the Gamecube's Gameboy Player. The game is friggin' hard. I think I remember why I haven't beaten it.

[Innotech]

still playing Uncharted 2 and just got Red Steel 2. Red Steel 2 is exactly what Red Steel was supposed to be all along and its a really really fun Wii game.
Highly recommended.
