So is it co-op multiplayer, or just team DM? I know it's not a full co-op campaign, but I much prefer playing alongside, instead of against my friends.


No co-op. It's competetive and all team based. I imagine you can form a party to play on the sane team though.

Finished up DX:HR last weekend. It does almost everything well, but rarely manages to reach greatness. Maybe next time. I hear SquareEnix Montreal is doubling their headcount...



It's a pretty good game, not up to the original, but better than IW or Snowblind. I found the environments to be not as open as I'd like, and the enemy AI needs some work. I've only just completed my 1st boss battle and am moving into the next area.

Dusted of my AC II copy... Talk about production values in this one. Not used to being 15 hours in and feel like I haven´t left the introduction part yet. Didn´t touch the AC I suppose there is some foot stomping to get things going for the veterans?

Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain (PS1) - 6/10
 
Just started playing it again recently as I had fond memories of this game and I just bought it on PSN. It doesn't hold up too well. I suppose I shouldn't expect any 3D PS1 game to hold up very well because of the lack of camera controls and what not.
 
It's still fun, and I still like the story behind it. It's just a little more tedious and slow than I remember it being. This year is the 10th anniversary of the release. 
 
Back to the Future: Episode 1 'It's About Time' - 8/10 (Free)
 
Usually not a big Telltale Games fan, but they did a good job with this one. 'Point and click' adventures have always been a little hit or miss for me, but I love the fact that this doesn't just follow the movies. It has its own story, and the voice acting is top notch. Nice 'interactive movie' sort of game. 
 
Street Fighter III Third Strike: Online Edition - 10/10
 
Not sure how they could make the best fighting game ever better, but they did. Challenges similar to SFIV, and of course the online mode. The new visual touches are nice, but I didn't notice them as much because I was just so psyched to be playing Third Strike again.

Online games got me into headphones.
 
I got so tired of getting kicked out of rooms. For instance, I was playing in a low recoil server and I got accused of "no recoil". 
I get called for chamming. Rangeing.
 
>_>
 
And I'm not even that great.

Still playin' Crysis 2 multi almost everyday since beta. I'm now at a point where I can pretty much kill anyone no matter how good including cheaters and hackers. Some people even turned cheats on upon facing me b/c they were getting slaughtered by me. Muahaha. 440 hours logged on steam and counting. My avg w/l ratio is sh!t since I don't care about that but my k/d ratio is something to behold. I only count 2 or 3 people who are higher above my global rank. New friend requests are always welcome.

I wish the community was more active for Crysis 2 on DLC maps. I play on console and Decimation playlists are a barren wasteland. Such a shame since the two times I've played on Decimation matches, I really enjoyed the maps.
 
Anyways:
 
Twisted Metal 2 - 10/10
One of the greatest PS1 games ever. Nuff said.
 
MK Mythologies: Sub Zero - 7/10
Despite being somewhat neglected in general opinion within the history of MK games, I really like this game. Great music, fun boss fights, and a good challenge throughout the game. Just needed more thought out level designing.

Ace Combat 4, the first PS2 Ace Combat.
Graphics are what you'd expect from a 9 year old game, though probably better than some games out there today. Gameplay is mainly the campaign, but sure does things for your ego. You start out slowly, as a little-known pilot fighting a losing war. Slowly, the game strokes and feeds your ego, building you up to take down bigger and bigger game, from the legendary Yellow Squadron, to a superweapon known as Stonehenge. Voice acting is done quite well, drawing you further into the strangereal world of the game, which takes place in Usea and Erusia. As with all Ace Combat games, there is always a prerequisite canyon mission and an end-game tunnel flight. Shame it's not well known though, it's a great game at only 3 bucks. If you have an X360, I'd suggest Ace Combat 6 as well, it's basically a rehashed version of this game except on a larger scale, done fairly well. You'll have to be lucky to find a lobby online though, that's my only complaint.
 
"Mobius One, engage."
...
"Heroes really do exist. We've just seen one. And now, he's coming home."
 
 
On a separate note...Am I really the only one here that plays Ace Combat?

Nope, Ace Combat is my favourite series pretty much. I loved all the PS2 games, even Zero was great. Still play through one every few months. Assault Horizons makes me a sad panda though :frowning2:

LIMBO
 
It's fantastic. 10/10
 
It's probably my favorite "art" game, maybe even above Shadow of the Colossus.
 
Dead Island
 
8/10
 
I'm about halfway through, but I am really enjoying this one. It's like borderlands and dead rising combined. It has some bugs, but they aren't game destroying. Not as bad as Oblivion, for example.

OMG The Unsung War is my favourite. Crazy stuck on a lot of levels so many times and crazy bugged out a bunch of times too, but still so awesome. Ace Combat is brilliant, but I don't have any consoles to keep up with the updates. Actually, they haven't released anything yet in a while I think, what gives?

I have 4, 5, and 6, but not Zero for some reason. I did buy the soundtracks though, so I could use them with AC6 on X360. You'd be surprised how well some of the tracks work. Glacial Skies works quite well on various missions, Wardog did great in Invasion of Gracemeria. Emancipation did its job too in Gracemeria Patrol (look at video someone else put up).

Chandelier+Agnus Dei+Mobius F-22. You die in 2 bullets but hey, it's worth the trouble for the epic feeling

. Deja vu too.
 
Oh and on a separate note, did anyone also follow the timeline of AC5 by the calendar last year? I sure did, was a blast being up at 6am New Year's eve, shooting down the SOLG. Used the 4 signature Razgriz F-14R's for the whole thing too, I should've recorded it. Oh well, the S-37's sure did go down quick.

Such a shame they didn't bother to bring that game to the platform it started on, or the PC where i could at least play it. What am i playing?
 
PS3: GRID(Awesome even if i don't have a wheel), Dead Space (kinda meh)
 
 
PC: The Witcher(Chapter 5 but i don't want to finish it since i wait for prices to drop and it will be a while before i get part 2), FSX
 
Haven't Played in forever: Skate, Crysis, COH, BIA:HH, Indigo Prophecy, Hawx
 
I want MLB The Show to check out Franchise mode and need to borrow a PS2 to finally play Okami.  I got LBP and Infamous for free from that PSN outage but haven't checked them out, really dug the Limbo demo and for $15 i'll get it some day but i have a bunch of games to finish. It's easy to want something new but then you never finish what you already have, like i have 10 unfinished books
