I have been playing Far Cry for the last couple of weeks, and this game is this shiz. It does a nice job of balancing tactics with action. In fact, I have enjoyed it more than HL II or Doom III.
9/10
Here's hoping that Fear or Stalker are good enough to warrant a pc upgrade.
Dungeon Keeper II. 9/10. Third best game ever.
Planescape Torment. 11/10. Second best game ever. Okay, I'm not playing it, but I'm desparately hunting for the CD so I *can* play it again.
Civilization, I, II, & III. 10/10. Best game ever.
Leather Goddesses of Phobos. 10/10. 0th best game. Dig the scratch & sniff.
Railroad Tycoon II. 1/10. I still play this silly game way too much.
Wolfenstein 3D. 7/10. Why plunk down 50 bucks to return to the castle?
Age of Empires I, II. 9/10. My favorite scenario is the lost elven archers & the priest, and I don't know why. It's so damned easy.
Solitaire. -10/10. This game sucks, but I doubt I could get away with installing Thief at work.
World of Warcraft... low rating because they FINALLY got the battlegrounds concept right after my addiction to the game ended. I've got my account renewed now and I stop in for some quick PvP action a couple times a week. Satisfying but I have to question whether paying 15 bucks a month is worth it. Even if the concept of real-time RPG large scale battles is freakin awesome.
Ok ok... I did it in one go...(omega) but it didn't seem as much fun as Ultima....Although i think getting all the cards was more work!! from the card queen on disk 4. Ditto on the love for FF8 and MSG4 looks .... amazing!! And more!! I look forward to that one!!
I got the lionheart on disk one before. Getting all the cards i could ect... but it took most of the fun out of the game (bosses ect)....

Naw. The Lionheart for me sucked early on because it would never do the final limit break. It would always do Blasting Zone.
I didn't know you could get the Lionheart on disk one!
I think all the Final Fantasys after VIII keep copying the CGI cinemas in one way or the other. Like Final Fantasy X... There were so many obvious ones. It was cheesey and embarrassing.
This one kid I used to know used GameShark on his copy of Final Fantasy VIII.
I stopped being friends with him after, hahaha. Way to ruin my favorite game for the playstation, you know?
Yeah I'm with you on the no cheating front... its much better to complete a game knowing it was all your hard work. Yeah what's with thhose limit breaks! Lionheart is a rare sight!
To get the lionheart on disc one I had to get 20 Enoyle cards (spelling?!) and change it into pulse ammo (took ages!) fight some level 17-28 T-rexor in the balamb garden training centre to find some dragon fangs and use the Minitor (sp?) card ( I think)
All good fun though... Its a brilliant game and definately my favourite Final Fantasy and the first RPG I played.
Team FF8!

Ooohh nice, a videogame thread I've been playing Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Sly Cooper 2, and a demo I've got for Shadow of the Colossus lately. I can't wait for Shadow of the Colossus, that game is going to be bloody brilliant. Oh yeah, and in between that, We Love Katamari.. All in all, cool, and fun games!
I just finished Far Cry Instincts last night and I have to stress that if you are a FPS lover and Xbox owner YOU NEED THIS GAME!!!
The graphics are breath taking... especially in the later levels, big wow factor. Game play is sick but somewhat easy so again I recommend the hardest setting if you are a seasoned FPS gamer. What a great game!
edit: I forgot to mention that you can go back and replay levels you have already completed which to me adds a huge replay value to the game.

I'm playing through the new Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the DS and really enjoying it. It's very similar to SoTN and the other three GBA Castlevania games, although they have a new weapon upgrade system which uses collected souls of monsters to upgrade existing weapons into new ones. It uses the top of the screen for the map, and when toggled it has detailed status and a small description of the last monster you've fought. The stylus has only come into play a couple of times to clear out blocks on screen and to draw the seals once a boss is killed so they don't come back to life. I could have lived without either but I guess Konami felt the obligation to use the features of the system. Music is excellent as always. All in all one of the first DS games actually worth playing. 4/5
