    Hmm, been very busy lately, but current playing (or "will play in the next while") list includes Shadow Hearts (PS2), which I picked up cheap recently and have been really enjoying, Golden Sun (GBA) which I got for Christmas, Splinter Cell (Xbox) and Metroid Prime (GC) which I really need to play more of, and Suikoden III (PS2) which is hopefully winging its way to me from the USA.

    Splinter Cell (XBox) - Amazing, reminds me of Headhunter a bit though - anyone else get that feeling?

    Super Mario Sunshine (GC) - Eh. It's fun which is the point I suppose... good game and all don't get me wrong - but then I realise I'm flying around on a water pack shooting some kind of gloop...

    Kingdom Hearts (PS2) - I look like a right child, don't I? I like how this project came together though - amazed it hasn't caught the general public a bit better.

    Vice City (PS2) - I'd have more to say about the soundtrack than the game - both are superb but the soundtrack is really on another level.

    Unreal Championship (XBox) - A bit ... well... disappointing.

    Timesplitters 2 (XBox) - The more you play, the better it gets. Nowhere near dethroning Halo - though they do have different styles I have to admit.

    Giving Commandos 2 a run out on the Pc again. Its damn good, if very time consuming (ideal for christmas). Think MGS mixed with Deus Ex emergent gameplay, mixed with a detailed 2d isometric view (based on buildings/soldiers etc). I also think this much underrated (or recognised) game is even going cheap these days, a very good buy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    A good 15 hours into xenogears at the moment. ive also started final fantasy 8 again. also been giving marvel versus capcom a good going over to. then there is bust a move 2, mario64, zelda64, seiken densetsu 3 and breath of fire 2 all at certain stages of completedness.

    Kingdom Hearts (PS2) - I look like a right child, don't I?

    If you do, how do I look? I made a trip to London and paid £60 for an import copy of it the weekend it came out in the USA :) Really good game - I like it loads. It has its faults but I'm still looking forward to the sequel massively.

    Oh yes, I'm positively sporting wood in anticipation of playing some more mods for Half-Life... Oooh, or maybe a few more utterly uninspired FPS games, that could be just GREAT! :rolleyes:

    I'm really behind the times it seems - I didn't even know there was a sequel! Ah well, at least now I can hide behind Shinji if anyone decides to poke fun at me about it...

    I don't really believe in PC gaming for some reason. I'm "lame" like that, if you will.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty


    Super mario sunshine agus GTA: Vice city. Both feckin' exlellench

    Bhi me ag sceitimini orm nuair a d'oscail me on package with 2 gaems! Thit mo jaw ar an urlar nuair a chonaic me l33t graphics sa Super MArio Sunshine. Chaith me St. stephens day ag sugradh na cluichi riomhaire agus fuair me epileptic fit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,815 ✭✭✭✭po0k

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu

    il take gta3 for the pc for example
    -advantages :
    1) edit skins , cars , etc
    2) Listen to your mp3s in the car
    3) Probably mods in the future .

    Pc gamming has its disadvantages But COUNTER STRIKE :eek:

    i almost picked up Insane in Smyths but I had to wrestle my mind off the idea as I already had GTA3. Plus I almost bought Midtown Madness. GTA more or less has these 2 games as part of its own really....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭The Gopher


    Was playing The Getaway until a few days ago.Gets off to a sluggish start but you get to like it.
    Now playing GTA Vice City,very good so far,though the storyline was better in GTA3 I thought.
    As for PC gaming I have more games than I have hair on my arse.I just seem to have accumulated so many from magazines and friends and so on.Theyre all mixed up within all the crap internet free cds and I cant be arsed searching them out.Im not hugely into PC gaming-PS2 and other consoles are alot better IMO.
    I also bought Headhunter the other day for £15 but havent got around to playing.Is it any good?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,420 ✭✭✭Doodee


    is this going to end up like the What r u currently listening to ones on the rock/metal or radio forums.
    if it is thenSticky'n it may be good.

    Super mario world 2 on GBA. got nuffin else to play over here.

    Insane isn't really like GTA, except that it has cars. It's more like Q3 CTF in dune buggies minus the weapons.

    IWar2:EoC is a great game, very atmospheric.
    The graphics are also top-notch, nice a smooth and really make you feel at home. I got stuck on it a while abck and haven't gone abck to it yet.
    Might do so soon again though once I get the disc from home.
