Guest TFG1Mike Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I finally managed to beat The SPECIAL world in Super Mario World. It's kinda sad it's taken me 4 years off and on to get past that damn Tubular stage. I bought the system and game back in 06. Yay for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay for me Tubular is one of the hardest levels in the game so understandable. I remember taking hours to beat it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Got Fifa 2009 since I was feeling footbally and PES 2008 wasn't really doing it for me anymore. I was a Fifa franchise fan going back to 1998, and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of innovation in the way the game plays. Not least of which is the individual player mode, where you take on a personal career and get exp points for playing well that you can spend improving your skills. At first I figured it wouldn't have much long-term appeal, but its really caught my attention. Starting out in the reserves and building your status is a really cool idea, plus it makes you much more tactically minded as a player, trying to create plays for others and get your positioning right for crosses, all the stuff the game usually does for you. Its the sort of mini-game BS that in fighting games results in dry stroller-style regression but here opens up huge new possibilities. Right now I'm a Lineker-style striker, never been booked with a great goal-scoring record, but I also run at the defence a bit and set up my striking partner, who's my co-league top scorer. Since I got called up from the reserves mid-season I've pretty much pushed them to the top of our division which if it continues means promotion. Nice to start out in Bristol City too.

SuaveStar Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Just Cause 2. Try as I might, it just isn't fun. Edit: Nope, not enjoying it. Back in the box and sending it back right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Good man. That game is made for stupid twelve-year-olds, or men who still have the minds of twelve-year-olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Prototype: Take Crackdown, GTA IV and Spider-Man 3 together and you get this. It's an almost superhero game wannabe, that just wants to be hard for the sake of being hard. When you are in the middle of uncontrollable events, you can still take damage from the enemy. The first level is the most fun I've gotten from the game, the rest is just tedious, and repetitive to all hell. AI is shit, it's so fucking stupid. To explain why I picked those three games: Crackdown: The stupid jumping, and levelling up you do. GTA IV: It looked fun, but when you actually play it, the game isn't all that great. Spider-man 3: Choosing things to do wherever, and the wall crawling. Also, the stupidly hard enemies that can actually hit you several times, before you get one shot in.

S-T Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've been working on Super Mario 64 DS yesterday and today. This is a game that is clearly better with the Nintendo 64 controller, but the DS translation is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Warzone Stupid online flash game that is addictive just to get a better score! And helping me warm up for the new starcraft later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Uncharted 2. This game is amazing, not too hard, but makes you think enough so you can't just blast your way through. And amazing to watch as well, I really don't want it to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Played Super Street Fighter 4 last night. It's the first SF game I've played in forever. I was pretty bad for the most part, but I had some moderate success using Ibuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ibuki's good if you can keep moving. Her defense sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ibuki's good if you can keep moving. Her defense sucks. Yeah, that's pretty much my style of fighting in 2-D fighters. Use speedy characters, and always keep moving so as to never let my opponent get too comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Fuerte's another good character for that, though he's a bit harder to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Fuerte's another good character for that, though he's a bit harder to use. I watched my roommate play as him and I almost couldn't watch, it was so bad. His moveset looks terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 In vanilla SF4, he was probably the worst character in the game outside of Vega. In Super, he has more health to work with, but still relies heavily on constant running and mix-ups. I've been owned by a few Fuertes because it can be hard to anticipate what to what he'll do out of a run. But yeah, if someone doesn't know how to use him, it's ugly.

SuaveStar Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Mirrors Edge: When I played the demo, I hated it. When I played the game at a friends, I hated it. When I got it sent to me by Love Film. It got better. It's not great, but it's not horrible. I'm not paying attention to the story, and apart from just plain stupid bits, and a crappy boss in chapter 4, I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Played the Dante's Inferno demo and loved it, so I bought it. I'm gonna be playing it shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
