11/10

I've mostly been playing Live arcade games on the 360 lately. I grew bored with Gears of War. I got to the last battle, tried about 40 times to beat the last boss, and gave up. Haven't played it since. I occasionally dabble back into Oblivion...I have over 200 hours into that game. I haven't bought nearly as many 360 games as I did XBOX games....I'm more picky than I used to be.

Black: 9/10 fun in a shoot everything that exists kind of way, good to blow off steam after finals.

Fifa world cup 06- 9/10 turbo mode with no infringements and invisible walls is awesome.

I just did this today and was in the same boat... draw him toward your side of the train, all the while taking nice shots with the sniper after the kryll leave him, then all you have to do is just make a rush for the troika at the end of the train, (avoiding darkness mind you) if you get the kryll away from him and blast him with the troika he will die in a matter of seconds.

I have been playing (all XBox 360):
GoW - 9/10 for fun gameplay
Rainbow Six: Vegas - also 9/10 but for the multiplayer *amazing*
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - 6/10 ... this game is boring IMO


I am waiting for: Assasin's Creed *DROOL*, Crysis *DROOL x2*, Halo 3, Prey 2... thats all for now..

Shadow of the Collossus (PS2): ***** 25% of the way to the end and 5/5!!! So majestic and artistic!! GET THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE A PS2!

Guild Wars: Nightfall (PC): **** Very good! Comparable to WoW IMO (for the price). Not as good as Prophecies, but still good.

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror (PSP): **** Great game! One of the best PSP Games out there right now. Very enjoyable.

Have only been playing two games lately:

Battlefield 2: 8/10; even with all the commander hacks and plane campers, it's still a fun game. Especially if you can get into a good infantry squad.

NBA 2K7 (Xbox): 8/10; I've heard that this is the same game as NBA 2K6 with updated rosters, but I don't have 2K6, so it seems fine to me. 2K5 and even 2K3 to some extent are better games than this one IMO. Have never been a fan of the shot stick (but it's possible to still shoot with X, which is what I do). And I will also say that I've always liked the 2K basketball series over Live for one reason: the 2K camera angle.

Just finished Hotel Dusk (nds): 9.5/10 What a win for the adventure game genre. The writing is very good, the story is compelling and well presented. Probably one of the best adventure games I've read. Yeah, there's a lot of reading. The puzzles are probably the most logical of any adventure game I've played. I hardly had to consult any forums to get my way through. A must have for adventure game fans. Ironically, if this were the type of game with inane puzzles that I had to consult a walkthrough just about every step of the way, I would probably rate it a 10 because I would have expected the puzzles to be impossibly stupid - however, since I almost played the whole game without having to consult anything, but was frustrated a couple times enough to have to look something up, I feel inclined to take it down a notch. Not fair, I know. Almost reason enough to buy a DS. They better release more games using this engine. I'm ready to play it again to get the best ending.

That Ippo victorious boxers 2 game (ps2): 10/10 Hey! They improved upon the original, and the original was 10/10! Can I score this 11/10? Best boxing gameplay I have ever played, and they even improved the animations. More boxers! I just wish they would bring the other ippo games to the US.

Okami (ps2): 9/10 Fun, funny, entertaining. Easy to pickup gameplay. Nice different art style.

Fight Night Rd. 3 (ps2): 7/10 The game looks great on the other platforms but not so nice on ps2. Who cares? Boxing is about the gameplay, and the ippo games rock fight night hard, IMO. Fight Night/KO Kings are just really stiff, and that right thumb analog punch system is a nice idea that they never managed to execute smoothly. The whole game is basically based on your reflex speed, being able to block or parry the other guy's punch. Otherwise, your boxer's a punching bag. Lots of people have been conditioned to think this is how a boxing game is supposed to play, and then they criticize Ippo for not having clinching, of all things. I forgive Ippo for not having clinching because it allows me to move my character like it's a living extension of myself. I curse Fight Night for being a stiff boor of a game.

I rarely play new games and often just (re)play classics.

Super Mario RPG - 9/10. A true classic indeed. Nearly perfect in all marks. The only thing that keeps it from becoming truly perfect is the lack of difficulty and its shortness. Being able to carry only so many items is also quite frustrating.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 9/10. Another classic. Does everything great, and its quality goes without saying.

Shikigami no Shiro 2 - 8/10. A mighty fine shmup on the DC. Music is fun and there's enough bullet hell to keep you occupied until you get around to playing the next Cave title. It's Japanese only, but there rarely is a language barrier in shmups. The difficulty is spot-on and the gameplay is great. It uses a Tension Battle System in which your points multiplier increases as you brush bullets, which keeps things exciting and gives you motive to brush mazes of bullets rather than just dodging everything.
