I've been playing Ninja Gaiden a ton for my XBox lately and also have been known to waste a few hours with MVP Baseball 2004

Been wanting to pick up Fight Night but just haven't yet

I've been playing Tiger Woods 2003 almost every chance I can get lately (ie Both Kids and Wife are asleep)

I usually wait 2 years between Sports releases to upgrade so I am looking forward to TW 2005 with a great amount of giddiness

I've trying to think what to do with the SW Galaxies copies my grandma recovered from the trash bin...how much is it to play?
Title: Re: What Are You Playing?
Post by: Jeff on June 2, 2004, 04:39 PM
Anywhere from $12-15 per month depending onthe package you buy...

1 mo - $15
3 mos - $42
6 mos - $78
12 mos - $144

They also have 60 day game cards for $30.  A friend and I signed up to 6 month packages at the start, but I've been using 3 month packages since then.

They also give you 30days free when you start...

I started my fourth run of KOTOR last night. Man, that game is addicting. :P

Oh, and I just finished Halo over the weekend. I still have some birthday money to burn, so I'll probably pick up some new games this weekend. :)

Finished Metroid: Zero Mission last night, awesomely fun game.  It was a great story and wonderful recreation of the original...plus you get the original when you beat it!  I might pick up Fusion later this week for vacation next week.

Actually, right now I've been playing a fair amount of NBA Live 2004 on the Gamecube.  I'm a big hoops fan, and really enjoy this game.  Also broke out ye olde Nintendo last week too and played a little Tecmo Super Bowl.  I haven't gotten any new games for quite some time now, thinking about picking up the Spider-Man 2 game, sounds like it is supposed to be pretty good.  We'll see.
Title: Re: What Are You Playing?
Post by: Brian on July 6, 2004, 11:06 AM
Picked up the Spider-Man 2 game for Gamecube, so I played that for the first time yesterday.  I really like it, and seems like a lot of fun (at least to me).  I'm definitely not a video game expert, but it is a pretty enjoyable game IMO, and seems to be well done.  Just got done fighting "ultimate" Rhino, and catching up to the Black Cat, now on to the next :).  Nice to see a few other villains make appearances in the game.

My little bro took his PS2 along to the cabin this weekend...

After dinner (before headed out for our evening fishing 7-10pm), my little bro and I would take turns flogging poor Gemini Man or some other goon on the MegaMan disc.

He too has gone through MegaMan 2 and 3, but now he's back to MM 1 which he can't seem to beat.  We also played a bit of NHL2004 where the dreaded menace of Jokerit constantly pounded my brother's Maple Leaf squad.

Yet another reason I am constantly tempted by the GameBoy as well...that game does look pretty nice.  Why does there have to be so many things I want to buy, all at the same time? ;)

Well there's the problem.  The Leafs can't win anything when it really matters.  Have them play Ottawa, they'll probably win that but lose everything else :P

Currently playing Shenmue II for Xbox, a game I've had for a year and half.

No clue what I'll move onto next as I wait for Fable, KOTOR2 and the new GTA game this fall. Might go back and try to finish my season of MVP Baseball 2004.

Finally broke down and picked up a Game Boy Advance SP today.  Price drop of $40 CAD was the kicker. 

Looking for game recommendations.  Anyone had any luck, good or bad, buying games on ebay?

I recommend any of the Mario Advance titles as well as any of the Arcade Game packs (Konami, Atari, Midway, etc.).  That is if your into the retro thing.

I just had a flareup of Grand Theft Auto Vice City for PS2 again followed by Star Wars Starfighter which I've almost beaten now and most certainly shall complete by the 21st when Battlefront comes out.  Yay.

Not playing anything at the moment but will be picking up Fable for Xbox later this week and then very possibly SW Battlefront the week after.

Yes, and I'm already stuck not finding a key card.  On the second level!!! :-[  Bloody ridiculous.  It's there, somewhere in front of my face. 

Using the GBA daily right now.  Going between Super Mario 2, Apprentice of the Force and Flight of the Falcon.

Not a whole lot of time for gaming anymore, but recently I picked up NBA Live 2005.  Being a big hoops fan, it was a must for me, and it is a very fun game.  There is a new dunk contest feature this year (complete All-Star weekend), and it is a lot of fun.  So many different dunks you are able to do, with practice, and hopefully it provides a few new ideas to the real players to spice up the dunk contest again this year.  Anyways, good game, if you like pro hoops.

Mario 2 on GBA advance.  Why do I play this game the best at 1:30 am? :-\  Can't make any progress all day, then boom, move ahead five levels ::)

As an aside, our first GBA crapped out on us after only three weeks.  Screen went all wonky, looking all VGA-ish.  Always good to keep receipts.  A bonus 7 charges out of that rechargeable. ;)

Still can't find what I need on level two of Apprentice of the Force :-[

If you're an old arcade gaming fart like me, you might have loved Out Run. If you did, you owe it to yourself to get OutRun2 on the Xbox as soon as possible.

(http://www.ebgames.com/gmspImages/24/244230/pt_917892_20040924_screen001_24s0112.jpg)

This is a very much an arcade gameplay experience, where car physics are tweaked more for speed and ease of use than simulation, so don't expect elaborate crash dynamics or true-to-life car behavior. What it is, though, is the best update of a classic arcade game in ages. It still feels like OutRun from 1986, from the music, to the car selection, to the sense of speed and fun, while having control and visuals that bring it up to date.

The game also happens to have a ton of new modes built for its Xbox debut. It may best be described as an arcady Need For Speed: Underground in its race modes. It also is Live enabled for up to 8 players.

I'm in nostalgia heaven right now. I grabbed it at TRU last night, which seems to have it early. It's supposed to street on 10/26.

I just picked up THUG 2 last week so I need to dive into that at some point.  Just can't wait for Halo 2!
