that creepy ecchi game???


yeah.....i think i have to agree

Hey Jasper! (wherever you are)

Tell me about Tiger Woods 07 on 360. I've seen you play a lot of it and I'm really feeling the urge to pick it up. Prior to a few months ago, I'd never played much of a Tigah Woo game, but I picked up a $20 copy of 06 and dug it, though it felt a little thin and the career progression was stifling. Is 07 worth picking up? I know 08 is only a few months off, but if I pick up and play a fair amount of 07 in the near future, I can possibly be ready to nab a review copy of 08 when it drops.

Drop some words!

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I just listed nine games on eBay (and a handful of DVDs). Man, that cash is gonna be sweet. Probably list a few more in the next week (perhaps Super Paper Mario).

How to make your own PS360 controller

Oh, LOL. How desperete are sony fans that they actually go through the trouble of moding a real controller to work on their backwards system....

After getting burned out on Rogue Galaxy's hunt and insectron sidequests, I decided to quit playing that for awhile and go back to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within since I quit playing it for two months. So... I beat it with the bad ending, but I didn't know how to get the good ending until it was too late and I don't want to play through it (or a good portion of it) again. Now I just need to go through The Two Thrones again since I just went through the other two and WW was the only one missing from my collection. But now, I've gone back to playing Ico and will hopefully be through that in a couple weeks. Then decision time. Do I:

a) Buy Ratchet and Clank. For some reason I've been really wanting to play a good, simple platformer, and it seems to be the best of the bunch.

b ) Buy Resident Evil 4. I've wanted to play something action-y and scary, and many people list this game among the best game of any kind the past generation.

c) Buy God of War... simply because I never beat it when I previously played it and I want to get II eventually.

Most will say B for certain, but I think I'm leaning more towards A. If it's good, I'll have the entire series (sans the last one, if everyone is right about it) to look forward to picking up.

hey hey! tiger woods is a fun game, but pretty much every time you see me playing it, it's actually my dad on the 360. I never really played much of '06, but I'm pretty sure '07 has a few more courses. i'm not sure how much '07 is going for price-wise at the moment though. also, i think i read that the developers of madden were taking over for '08, so who knows what kind of changes are going to be in store. All they really need to do is keep adding courses and possibly make putting not so damn hard. if they could also throw in some more reaction animations for the crowd when i beam them, that would be great as well.

Resident Evil 4 --> Ratchet & Clank --> God of War. In that order.

I'm heading to San Diego in a week and a half to go to some two-day Sony thing where I'm hoping to play R&C for PS3 (they're taking us to a Padres game, too!). I may also be going on an emergency trip to the Bay Area on Tuesday... if so, I'll be in Cali for a solid week between two trips over the next week and a half. Yikes!

Oh, and thanks for replying, Jasper. I had a chance to get one for $35 on eBay, but passed. I'll probably wait a few weeks and see what I can get it for then.

Fucking Disgaea. I try to stay away but it keeps pulling me back in. Over 150 fucking hours. Must get Majin...

And Makai Kingdom is on the pile, waiting. Shit.

Well, I went with choice A. I wanted something a bit lighter, plus I found an acceptable copy online for $4.99 plus shipping. RE4 will most definitely be a summer purchase though since all I'm doing is catching up on my PS2 and XBox titles I've missed over the last four years when I first entered the last generation of gaming officially. I think I'm going to sell my copy of Shadow Hearts Covenant, too, since I got little enjoyment of it the last time I fired it up...

Oh man, I rented that and loved the first couple levels, but I aborted the effort when I realized the obscene amount of level grinding that was going to be asked of me.

It's arguably worth the effort (in that the more time you put in, it improves exponentially). Might be my fave game on a PSanything.

There's also a story about some dude wanting to divorce his wife cause she threw his Wii into a lake. Damn that's cold.

Alright, my brother's birthday is tomorrow. He Wants Cooking Mama and Paper Mario on the Wii, and some of the old Pokemon GBA games. I can't seem to find any good deals on any of that though.

So, if anybody has any suggestions for a good budget priced DS, Wii, or even a fantastic Gamecube game we might've missed. It would be appreciated.

I don't know what you have, but Monkey Ball, Viewtiful Joe, Ikaruga.

How about that Blacksite: Area 51 demo on Xbox Live? Short and sweet, but that chugging frame rate won't help make a great impression on anyone. Hasn't really raised or lowered my interest in the game, which was pretty much non-existent anyway.



Halfway through this. Not so hot.

Heading to San Diego on Monday to cover Sony Gamers Day. Gonna catch a Padres game while I'm out there, too. Should have Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for 360 waiting for me when I get home.

i bought the new maps in gears of war and have only gotten a chance to play them once. SHIT!

halo 3 beta today!

oh damn, I need to buy me some gold.

The shitstorm of geek rage wreaking havoc throughout the internet due to the Halo 3 Beta Clusterfuck is astounding.

yeah, thankfully i have a life.

Meh @ Halo 3, man.

I'm at the San Diego airport. I had 2+ hours of waiting ahead of me, so I broke down and popped $8 on wireless internet. And $2 to download the latest Heroes episode from iTunes (torrent was going slow). Just finished covering Sony Gamer's Day and now I'm headed back to Chicago. So much writing ahead of me. :/

You're in one of two U.S. cities (plus one official town) I've been drunk in, Andrew. Feel special!

There are ten final battles in Rogue Galaxy, and I hate it. They aren't very long, but yeah... ten. And if you die, you have to start over from the beginning. And I haven't been able to do that yet. I think I'm putting the game away for awhile.

well, my 360 died. going to try to swindle microcenter into giving me a new base or whatever you want to call it. laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

i played and beat a handful of DS games over the last couple days.








Great game, really back to the basics sonic stuff, but fuck that anime-furry cat thing, I never played as her nor did the game force you to, thank God.

Currently working on this one:



I also started the new Megaman but they wanted me to walk around a town so I immediately deleted it. Then I started playing pogeymanz and I beat some Gym trainer and then caught an Abra.Then I started playing Mario Kart DS onlne and destroying everyone. They let you draw a flag in the game as your icon or whatever so I drew a big boner with huge hairy nuts as mine so any seven year old playing against me has a big dick on their screen.

So yeah, the DS has taken over my life. Phoenix Wright is classic shit too, goddamn.

I also started FF3 and Children Of Mana, but didn't get more than a couple minutes in.

ditto new super mario bros for DS, it's taken me a while to get into it but absolutely drilling it now its examination period.

Halo 3 Beta last night. 'Twas fun. Good to be back in the multiplayer. I haven't played much of GoW's, partly because it just even as close to as fun. The new control scheme takes a bit of getting used to. The 360 controller offers just enough modifications from the original to make it tricky, and the new HUD display is different, too.

That being said, the 4 games of team skirmish that I played were as much fun as I've had gaming in a long time.

If I'm on and someone wants to play, my gamertag = Surface 360

I've bene having alot of fun with the beta. Aside from the fact that almost everyone else is better, it's a blast.

Mario Strikers Charged (July 30)
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (August 20)
Battalion Wars 2 (September)

smash bros info to come later today. git ya pre-order on.

so, did everyone see the game demos of starcraft 2 that blizzard gave in korea this weekend?

oh man, i know. time to dust off that copy of brood war to get back into RTS shape.

Anyone play God of War II yet?

i just got both katamari damashi games in the mail today. im am one happy ps2 owner.........

im so behind the times.

Dude, I haven't played God Of War 1 yet. It's all good, though, as it means my mission of 'no next gen til 2008' looks like it'll stand up.

I probably won't make it without a current-gen system once GTAIV comes out, because I will probably end up having dreams and visions about that game and my inner immature nerd will unleash itself like never before. In the meantime, I'm still trying to play catch up on older games, too, and I've had my PS2 since early '03. Ratchet and Clank is now. Plenty of others after it.

Have you seen the GTA IV trailor yet? If not, watch it. That thing is gorgeous and will probably require me taking a day or two off of work (a serious consideration as the time gets closer) to sink my teeth in to that badboy. Hot damn am I excited.

New smash brothers site has launched, but nothing much of interest...

Can't wait for web play of that. You bitches is gonna die.

Yeah I'll probably organize a SOMB smash bros brawl tourney when it comes out.

not that anyone really has a chance to beat me, i spent most of high school playing the gamecube one.

man, no more ice climbers though? that was my team! oh well.

I have a question for all the Smash players. When I used to play with my friends, we would always play with weapons on. Then like two years ago before I left CA, I played with some of my friend's brothers friendses(es), but they played with weapons off which I thought at the time was so retarded. They ended up totally kicking our asses which shocked me cause I thought my friends were like the best at that game. Is it very common not to play with weapons/items? We didn't play with all the weapons(that laser gun we would never use, and some other things). It's fucking fun hiding those mines on walls and knocking fools into the mines. I never watched those hardcore MLG players or whatever. It was just such an ego killer. Sorry, I'm rambling, but I hope they include online play, or I'm not gonna buy it.

when i play competitively, items are always off, but for just fucking around, i have them on.

also, wavedashing ftw

Ice Climbers are totally shitty to play against. I would always get pissed playing anyone who used them.

And totally play with items. Without is for retarded nerds. And by nerds I mean nerdier than I.

Yeah I rarely ever played with items.

wavedashing ftl, would barely come in handy, overrated glitch/move.

Shameful admission: I have 19 games but never bought Smash Bros.

I decided recently that I'm gonna fill the gaps in my GC collection, actually; haven't bought a game for that system in exactly two years. Figure I might as well, seeing as I got an NTSC GC back in late 2001 (switchable US/JPN from Hong Kong) and I'm likely to get a PAL Wii, so no compat. I can't believe that for my first import console I got so burned. After living with SNES, I thought there would be no drawbacks to going NTSC. Then the PAL version was released for 130 quid, with fucking RGB output and the lot.

Gutted.

Just finished playing through shenmue for the first time in like, seven years. This game is even more hilarious/unbelievably awesome than i remembered.

depends who you are. with Luigi it is ridiculous b/c he has like no traction, so one wave dash would get you like across the level.

Is it just me or was the N64 version much better than Melee? Maybe it's just because Pikachu was my character and he wasn't nearly as good in Melee.

i enjoy both. i'm better at the N64 version though.
