I am currently playing:

Red Faction: Guerilla (just started)
Battlefield 1943 (fun imo and worth the extremely cheap xbox live arcade price)

and just finished Prototype which was a decent game.

BlazBlue, newest fighting game created by the same guys that made the Guilty Gear series.

Cheers to anyone that plays it.

Really? What are your thoughts so far? I'm very interested in hearing what GWers think of the game.

I'm currently playing a lot of Race for the Galaxy and Dominion, although my Dominion plays have gotten less as I'm waiting for Intrigue to get to my house.

(No one said this topic was only about video games :P)

I was sitting here thinking, "What obscure console is Mateui playing games on? Those names sound like generic Atari titles or something."

But then I saw the last line and things made sense.

I'm addicted to UNO on facebook.

dead rising

this shit is fucking hard

I don't get the point in leveling to 80 in a week to begin with.  Excuse me while I just skip through huge portions of this game I pay good money for just to play the end bits over and over again.

I didn't really have a problem using guns in Dead Rising. I actually thought the controls worked pretty well in that game. The only time I felt any sense of false difficulty was when certain "bosses" would re-spawn randomly, or some of the yellow raincoat guys (although some cop pistols or a nailgun or two worked wonders on them). I hated being in the middle of a rescue, happily herding a trail of people through a certain area only to have those convicts I'd disposed of a couple hours before re-appear, riding around in a jeep with a howitzer. The end game did get a little dicey with the soldiers, but their machine guns did pretty good and so did a cleaver like weapon from one of the bosses in the underground area.

I liked that game a lot, but the saving system is the thing that partially killed it for me. I understood the feeling they were going for, but it was total b.s. and made casual "pick up and play" nigh impossible. When I wanted to show friends the game, or just play around and let people come over and kill some zombies, I threw in the demo instead of the full game just so I didn't have to deal with making it from the save area to a fun gameplay area, etc. That's never a good sign!

Just remembered one other b.s. area. The mission where you have to defuse bombs under the mall... for that one I ended up starting the game over so I could do the side quest that nets you a key to the doors down to the underlevel. I did all my running around through the mall, using those handy stairwells to gather/defuse (I forget which, been a couple years) the bombs and avoid Carlos (Carlito...whatever).

i never heard about psychos respawning, didn't know it happened

at least, never happened to me and my friend

however, there's something weird about the game me and my friend found, that makes the part with the soldiers much much easier. basically, you can pick them up and just throw them (the move where he just lifts people over his head and hunks them over) and well, they die in a hit from that. always. the only problem is when there are 3 of them ganging up on you, but otherwise it makes killing soldiers so much easier


speaking of dead rising, i am very much so looking forward to dead rising 2

Holy shit, if that works I will love you as I've been stuck on that extra time bit for ages...

Also been playing Crysis, The Sims 3 and replaying Oblivion. I love them all for various reason.
