Games you're playing right now, and my freetime's demise

[Beatboxer]

There was probably another thread like this but I need some opinions.

I have been playing too many games lately. Not time wise, but too many different games.

Within the last week you could say I am hooked on the following games.

PC
Live 07 (want to make shit again)
Live 04 (want to update it)
Live 03 (just want to play it)
Sims 2 (grew a sim to be an elder and kinda wanna just end him)
Half Life 2 (addicted, plain and simple)
Counter Strike Source (good fun with some NLSCers)
Flatout 2 (fucking fun and mid-way through another career)

360
All Pro Football 2k8 (mid-season with my Boston Revenge w/ CAPs)
Call of Duty 4 MP BETA (loving the perks, and of course, killing n00bers)
NBA 2k7 (enjoying the classic and USA teams roster I found)
Marble Blast Ultra (fucking fun online)
DiRT (see above)
Dead Rising (loving the gore and just killing shit)

Wii
Wii Sports (almost a pro in all of the sports, baseball and boxing are left)
Resident Evil 4 (just got started)
Super Mario World (great classic)
Super Mario 64 (see above)
Excite Bike (see above)

PS2
All 3 Guitar Heros (never stopped playing them)
NFL Street 1 (I can't explain my recent boner for this game)
NBA Street v2 (best street game, period)
Amplitude (can't explain this one too)
March Madness 2003 (best (aka most fun) EA basketball game IMHO)


I am not lying, I am honestly "addicted" to all of these games and I really wish I had the time to just sit down and play them all until I am content.

So basically I am wondering which ones you would stick with if you were me and what you guys are playing right now.

Hey, JaoSming, I really wonder what your job is ?!?! What do you do, bro ?! How can you find free time to play those numerous games ?!?!

Anyways, I have only PC,

Here's my list:

- NBA Live 07 (patched of course )
- Football Manager 07 (I'll get the new released version-FM 08 soon)
- Sim City 4 with Rush Hour (I think it's the best tycoon game in the world)
- Flight Simulator 2004 (with addons - like NBA Live series, addons make this game amazing) (I think it's the best simulation game in the world) (Also playing online )

I have an old system with a turtle FX5200 card, but soon when I have a better powerful PC, my games will change of course.. For example, I'll be playing Flight Simulator X instead of FS2004, Sim City Societies instead of Sim City 4, etc...

Beatboxer, I posted that in between my summer job and my current job. My Classes hadn't started up then and my girl lives 2 hours away and was working a lot so I had a lot of free time.

Right now I am playing Live 08 PC and Bushido Blade for PS1 (fuck ya awesome game)

...Bushido Blade for PS1

Old skool I remember being bashed by my friends when we're playing that.

Ooops ! What's that, bro

[JaoSming]

Dude my and my friend played that game everyday before school in 4th through 6th grade. Once he sold his playstation I've been looking for the games we used to play and with Bushido Blade I finally got them all back. Rally Cross and some weird cartoon 3D top down racing game were the other two games.

Do you know of any other newer games besides Bushido Blade 2 that are like it? I mean 1 hit kill sword games.

That could deserve its own thread, but for those interested in giving their rig a hard time, the singleplayer demo for Crysis is up:

Downloading right now, can't wait to try this...

[shadowgrin]

Bushido Blade rules. Those 1 hit kill techniques are badass.

Just got Guitar Hero 2 as a surprise gift from my landlords! (I'm still in shock). So addicting. I still suck, but I have managed to go from having trouble on Easy to being competent on Medium... although I hear Medium-Hard transition is extremely tough. Will get Guitar Hero 3 soon (even though I hear it isn't that great) also.

For the next couple of weeks, my dynasty will be updated sparingly.

[Patr1ck]

If you got guitar hero 2 for the 360, you should wait because guitar hero 3 is coming out for the PC, and the guitar for the 360 is completely compatible with the PC version. Plus, with guitar hero 3 or the PC, you will probably get a bunch of custom songs from the modding scene.

And yes, the transition from medium to hard is very big. I suggest using practice mode on hard. I'm still not ready for hard, yet, even though I get 90+ percent on medium now.

[JaoSming]

also when playing hard move your hand up so you cover red, yellow, blue and orange and just move your index finger to hit green.


scorehero.com for the custom songs....if they are able to hack the file types (im sure they will)

[Ryan]

I never played Guitar Hero at all until my brother's 360 died and he gave me the game (gh2) and guitar a few weeks ago. Then I still didn't play it until I found Frets on Fire and started playing that with custom songs. Now I'm totally addicted. Just played Domination by Pantera with FOF and failed miserably, but still fun as hell.

[Donatello]

I haven't stopped playing Guitar Hero III since the day it came out.

My friend Samira actually bought a second copy of the game so we can play it together... she doesn't even have a Wii of her own (yet). It's that good.

[JaoSming]

Assassin's Creed is damn amazing. That's all I have to say.

[Jing]

I have to admit... Madden 08 is draining a good deal of what time I have when I am not in class or sleeping...

[Donatello]

Super Mario Galaxy= has made me stop playing Guitar Hero III. It's a love-hate relationship because of that, but goddamn it's a great game. Trippy as hell stoned, too.

[el badman]

Assassin's Creed is damn amazing.

Coming from Ubisoft and their recent series of catastrophic, buggy-as-hell games, I'm hesitant about that game. I dunno, doesn't it feel too much like Prince of Persia anyway?
Buying Crysis tomorrow on collector's edition, dunno when I'll find time for anything else between that, COD4, Bioshock, HL2 Ep2,....

[JaoSming]

Never played PoP so ya, I havent had any bugs or anything yet

I'd like to play that. The last Mario game that I played was Super Mario 64.

So here's my expression for that disappointment:

[JaoSming]

I played some Galaxy at a Gamestop, not too shabby.

[el badman]

Currently being blown away by Crysis and Call Of Duty 4 for PC...Highly recommended

[Lean]

I wish my PC could handle those.

[el badman]

COD4 is as usual a wonder of optimization. It doesn't have the polish of Crysis, which will stay untouchable for a good while, but it still looks with amazingly smooth performance on my PC. Basically it doesn't require a complete upgrade unlike Crysis...
