I agree with Acapelli. Crash Team Racing is the most fun Ive ever had playing a Kart Racer, tho I have many fond memories of playing MK64 with my friends in simpler times.

have you guys checked God of War Ascension's 8 player mode?

Indeed, something more like Capcom's Versus series would be awesome, camera is often far in 4 player party games and those detailed characters become a blur.Quote:

Finished the first episode of The Walking Dead. Quite an interesting adventure game with some really tough choices to make. I'm definitely be getting the rest.
I beat Demon's Souls again. Something happened to my game, and I couldn't get worlds 3 and 5 to go pure white, even though I did everything that I needed to do, without dieing. So I had to beat the game, and hopefully I can get the PWWT stuff I need during the community events this month.
And then last night I started a new character in Dark Souls. I got really tired of playing my sorcerer. Using magic just kind of bores me; I like to get up close and personal in the fights. So I started a cleric, which I'm going to role-play as a Paladin-type character.
Finally finished Perfect Dark on xbla. Feels great to finally lay this one to rest. The N64 version never really hit me on any major level, probably because I was done with the console - The Dreamcast was already out! - although the less than smooth gameplay certainly was a bit frustrating too.
Now that I've completed it, I can say it was a great time. Immensely challenging on Perfect Agent, to the point that I'm really glad it's over as I played every level bar the last one on that difficulty and some objectives aren't clear at all. Yeah, I screamed from sheer elation when I completed a level so it was certainly rewarding.
So long Joanna! Unless someone can convince me to buy Perfect Dark Zero. On the cheap of course. :)
Way to go Morris! PDZ...The campaign is pretty disappointing and only entertaining on a nostalgia level. The multiplayer however, is pretty much awesome, but more than likely you will be playing alone. :) Considering it was a launch title for the 360, you should have no problem securing the super mega version for about $5 tops.
While I agree that "Perfect Dark Zero" was pretty disappointing as a whole, there's a particular level I love.
I forget the name, but you start out the level outside of a dance club, and have to use stealthiness to work your way in, then it turns into a blast-o-rama inside.
What I particularly loved when I played it back in '06 (one of my very first experiences with the current gen of gaming) was hearing the loud THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP bass echoing out of the dance club, getting louder as you get closer.
I just LOVED that effect. I found the audio really impressive in that level.
Yeah, I'll be playing alone, but there's so much other stuff I've to play. And buy!
I think I'm leaving it at that if you don't mind. :)

Beat me to it Duke. :P
Not a bad call looking to the future for this franchise, and it's virtually set in stone that I'm getting this day 1. Still, it looks awfully similar to MW2-3 in that the USA is attacked once again or at least I think that's the USA.
Stuff I found out:
- Game will switch between 2025 and early eighties.
- You assume command of the son of Black Ops 1's Alex Mason and returning character Frank Woods, who is the bridge between both timeframes.
- We get to watch the main villain, Juan Menendez, become the villain over the course of this time interval and why he became malicious. He is sort of a neutral dude attempting to provoke a war between China and the US by hijacking American's drone army.
- Rare earth materials (stuff found in cellphones etc...) will play pivotal role. China has a monopoly on such materials apparently.

- warfare devoid of human control will be pushed. Evident in the trailer already, but Treyarch is really going to show how warfare might evolve fairly realistically in the near future, hiring experts to make sure it's a plausible (and terrifying) future. They're actually attempting to bring ethics into question, the idea of a cold, detached machine killing without remorse
- Game's engine actually looks really nice with alterations aplenty.
- Futuristic weaponry that can shoot through concrete etc...
- several possible endings
Finally caved in and bought Arkham City for the PS3. I hope I love it like I did the first.
God, I'm so behind. :pritch:
Starting to enjoy "Rage" a lot more now that it has evened out its pacing a bit and become what it should have been all along - a shooter.
The missions into the Dead City and the Authority Prison are great.
Still something that will never be a favorite, but I'll put it this way - at $19, I am really glad I picked it up. If I had paid $60 at release, I would have been much more disappointed.
For some reason, I got annoyed at this one early on, and walked away for a bit. Fortunately, I came back to it. Its a blast.Quote:

This is really weird.
Must be a Canada thing.
Installed the Doom series again on my PC, but with the Doomsday add-on (hi-res textures pack, HD resolutions etc...). Not exactly next-gen, but a nice visual upgrade but still resolutely the Doom we all remember. And it's still a totally fun game.
So I'm playing like my 20th character on Dark Souls. I usually play up until about the 1/2 point these days. Anyhow, for the first time ever I'm rescuing Knight Lautrec and I'm not killing him right away. It feels so weird and wrong, because I know what he's going to do and I feel terrible for not stopping it. It's the weirdest feeling I've ever felt in a game. I hate seeing him sitting there in Firelink Shrine, knowing that he is going to murder someone, and not doing something about it. However, I've never experienced his part of the story in Anor Londo, and I need to.
The Souls games use this idea of reincarnation and cyclical lives in very interesting ways. My last time through Demon's Souls I killed most of the NPCs in the Nexus, and when I started ng+, it was very odd to see them again.
Dead Island certainly gets my blood pumping whenever I hear some rabid growling to the right or left.
Seriously, "Rage"?
Instead of new levels, I do the same levels I've already done, but in reverse? Not even any new enemies? Just the same guys in the same spots?
What is this, a racing game? Oh...wait...
I found the suiciders to be the creepiest.Quote:

Similar with me to Dead Island. I was playing Dead Island, thought it was okay, even played it online with Spun Lepton once. Then Spun mentioned the game Skyrim, which I had seen adverts on the sides of buses but otherwise knew bugger all about. He sent me the link to some video footage of Skyrim a week before it came out, I watched it, and I was like holy shit, I gotta get this game! I spent the next week scrambling to beat Dead Island, then bought Skyrim the day it came out. Dead Island hasn't been touched since.
Some serious difficulty spikes suddenly, but lovin' it. The sense of survival is profound.Quote:
