It's basically GT for the xbox except better.

GTA: SA - Played bits and pieces of the PS2 version, and if it's anything like GTA3 or Vice City then it's got to be good! Still waiting on my sister to come home with it... only about another hour of waiting to goWhat are the last 3 games you bought? Were they on impulse? Based on reviews? Did you like them, are you still playing them, or were they a disappointment? Are they now gathering dust?
NFSU:2 - Bought on the strength of the demo, played it to death, loved it, still installed but haven't played it in a good while... it just doesn't feel as fast on my TFT.
HL2 - Bought based on preview footage and general hype, still installed, but I haven't bothered playing it through more than once... shocking I know
These are all PC versions by the way, I haven't bought a console game in years (although obviously I'm a fan of some of the console -> PC conversions)
I've been burned way too many times buying games I've never heard of on impulse... of course that was mostly back in the era of cartridges, where you don't usually get to play a demo of it.... still, some hard lessons learned with all the shít games I've bought over the years.0 -

Bought a few yesterday. These are just initial impressions.
Halo 2: Disappointingly average the second time playing this. At least there is the fantastic Co-op mode.
Zelda Minish Cap: It's zelda by Nintendo/Flagship Capcom. Therefore its brilliant. I didn't expect anything less.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Excellent little puzzle game
Mr. Driller Drill Spirits: Frustrating yet maddeningly addictive puzzler. Should more than tide me over until I get round to ordering Meteos.

Chronicles of Riddick (pc) - seems alright... I'm not too big into the FPS genre these days though.
Gamecube
Viewtiful Joe - bought for the second time
PN03 - ditto
Super Mario Sunshine - same
Ikaruga - haven't had a chance to play it yet
(that's a lie actually. Killer7 arrived in the post today, just as i'd sat down with a mug of tea ready for some black on white action)
Smash Bros Melee - seems like a weak sp game...
Killer7 - holy **** this is good!
now all i need to do is find time to play them all 0 -
Last ones I got:
PN03 (GC) - fun, and well worth the fiver I paid for it
SSX 3 (GC) - also fun... but July is not the time to be playing a snowboarding game. Also only a fiver though
Halo 2 (Xbox) - haven't got around to playing it yet... Still not finished Halo 1 yet. Stupid Xbox controller. Seriously thinking of getting rid of the Xbox.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor (GBA) -:D:D:D:D:D Astro Boy is love. It's sooooo good.
Advance Guardian Heroes (GBA) - enjoying this... I'm stuck though. Just don't want to have to go into devil mode.
And my current wish list?
Killer 7! Want it... am paid on Friday... have 2 weeks off work starting on Saturday... must fight temptation!
Also Ikaruga, Meteos, WarioWare Twisted...0 -

heh. i did a couple of weeks ago. hadn't played it in over 3 weeks and i started getting sick of it taking up so much spacerainbow kirby wrote:Halo 2 (Xbox) - haven't got around to playing it yet...

very unimpressive selection of games for that console, it's way too noisy and the controllers are crap.
gamecube for life etc etc0 -
Great choiceJimi-Spandex wrote:GC- F-Zero GX and Timesplitters 2 both second hand.
I bought these games together... the day F-Zero GX came out.
agreed 100%. I can't play Halo for more than an hour at a time because the controller makes my left hand cramp up when I'm playing FPS games... damn little girly hands of mine.tman wrote:heh. i did a couple of weeks ago. hadn't played it in over 3 weeks and i started getting sick of it taking up so much space

PC:
1) SWAT 4: Love multiplayer on this game, reason i got it was because im a fan of the other SWAT games.
2) Stronghold 2: Ok Strategy game but has technical flaws with my PC, reason why i bought it was because i felt i needed a strategy game fix and a break from other type of games
3) Guild Wars: Im a big RPG lover, and seein it was free subscriptions with those fantastic visuals, how could i resist? reason: Enough said
PS2:
1) Time Splitters Future Perfect: Best Timesplitters in the series, MUCH wider range of characters to use in Multiplayer, Single player is good also. Reason: Multiplayer action with mates
2) Devil May Cry 3: I loved this game, visuals and gameplay are flawless and the characters are superb. Dante must die mode is rightly hard though Reason: Loved the first game, couldnt resist this one! 0 -

God of War: Bloody fantastic game. Really pushes the PS2 to it's limits.
Gaurdian Heroes advance: Haven't played it yet
Gregory Horror Show: Haven't played it either :rolleyes:
Medal of Honour European Assault: Surprisingly good but not brilliant. The last boss is stupidly cheap so it's currently being punished.
Viewtiful Joe 2: Haven't played it.
Devil May Cry: Excellent game but driving me nuts. It's so bloody difficult.
Ninja Gaiden: Excellent game. Not as challenging as people make it out to be. Two and a half weeks is all it took me.
Mega Man Anniversary Collection: Well it finally arrived and I can't play it because my brother has my freeloader disc for Resi 4. I'm dying to play Megaman 2 again :mad:
I've also a load of games to get including Killer 7. Must remember that fridays are for picking up new games and not for drinking.

GTA: SA - PC Wonderful game, trying to take it as slowly as possible to enjoy it all. Need to take a break from the missions to waste some time completing unique jumps, spraying tags, etc...
Thief: Deadly Shadows Bought it new for €15 in HMW Henry Street's closing down sale. Such a good bargain I couldn't resist. Looking forward to playing it.
I have a few game hanging around since Christmas (Rome: Total War, Deus Ex, Neverwinter Nights) that I have started but other games (HL2, COD, COD:UO and GTA:SA) that have stopped me from completing them. Interested in getting Chronicles of Riddick FPS, on sale at play.com, but know I just don't have the time to play it 0 -

GC only at the moment, have only switched the xbox on once for my brother since I got the GC at Xmas.
resi4 - seems good so far, not ground breaking though.
worms 3d - good multiplayer fun and has finally broken my anti-worms stance from previous 2d versions.
Warioworld - not toooo bad, standard ninty platform hijinx
oh yeah I forgot Jet Set Radio on the DC for which I still need an AV cable to run it
