heh, I find it amusing when people are debating on games. It is almost like debating on general philosophy :D

So please tell us what game are you playing to right now? and give quick review of it, Did you like it or not?

Maybe somebody is getting inspiration to play the same game as you...

The Genre can be anything from computer/console games to good old fashioned board games to tag to RL RPG to browser games...etc

Lately I have been playing MyBrute, Pokemon on GBA, Dragonball Adventures on GBA, S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Chess

Not much to review...

well half of your list kinda goes away since i kinda specified that i need singleplayer one :P


try F.E.A.R

I am not too much into the "psycho-loli" stuff, but I found the game itself quite interesting while irritating at the same time.

DeusEx3, Left4Dead1/2, Portal 2 (probably doesn't count), Bioshock 1, Borderlands was pretty cool as well (especially coop), Stalker: Call of Pripyat, Half-Life2:Ep2 (2007!), Battlefield 3 (if you're into that), UT3 (for some).

Oh and.... QUAKE LIVE >;)

But yes, it's a very small list, thanks to consolification.

EDIT: A lot of people seem to have enjoyed Bulletstorm, but I haven't played it myself, so just going to throw that one out here.

bulletstorm is garbage.

wouldnt qualify deus ex 3 as fps. i mean ofcourse its first person... shooter *occasionally*, but... but..

hmmm never understood whats so good about Stalker series.
played the first one didnt like it mainly due to game mechanics.

Except that it's not a first-person shooter, but a third-person one. I did play the only game out of the series that they released on the PC, and it really was quite a good game, especially (if not solely) thanks to the coop feature.

If you have an Xbox 360, then the best FPS is Gears of War. All three of them. Epic games :)

F-22 Total Air War: The best flight sim I've ever seen personally. It's a great balance between realism and playability. Both novice and experienced 'pilots' will probably enjoy climbing into the cockpit of the F-22. Eventhough it's an old game, I highly recommend it for those into flight sims.

I'm playing Oblivion for like, the 6th time. It's amazing when you find new stuff over and over in this game when you least expect it!

Right, DX3... I heard it shall give salvation to all who loved the first game but had their issues with DX2.

Will check that out in the near future.

In the meantime, I practice my Foomy Punch!

Picked up DX3 and it's quite excellent so far, although I'm not that far into the game yet.

Tomb Raider 6: Angel Of Darkness: This game was supposed to be innovative, but I'm afraid it's the weakest in the series so far. The graphics are an upgrade over Chronicles, the storyline is pretty good, rather dark too, but it has game bugs and poor controls. For example, you are asked to be accurate with your controls sometimes, but you hardly have the means to do so. Making parts of the game unnecessarily hard.

For those looking for a good action/adventure, there are better games, but people will still enjoy this game if they:
1. can accept and look beyond the bugs/poor controls;
2. are into the Tomb Raider series;
3. have a heck of a lot of patience :P

Duke Nukem Forever: Development of this game took 12 years, so imo the expectations are way up there. However, the word that most accurately describes this game is 'outdated'. It features yesterday's graphics, a plain AI, lineair levels and somewhat cumbersome controls. (Though that could just be me, I'm not exactly a good FPS player.) The only thing that I find fun about this game, is that it's a playground for guys: it's macho and lighthearted. It can be fun to be immature sometimes. So I don't really recommend it if you're looking for a solid FPS game, mostly just for nostalgia.

Lufia is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, although I must admit that I enjoyed Lufia 2 more. Just sayin'


I am with you, Lufia 2 is a great game-sequel/story-prequel and does everything that Lufia does, just better.

Just remember it's called the Dual Blade, despite whatever the various PAL translations (I guess you also played it in german back in the day?) want to make people believe.


Quote:
Are you playing Lufia through SNES emulator?


NO! Modded PAL SNES with slot for NTSC cartridged and 50/60Hz switch.

Some things are too good to be played on an emulator. That is if you somehow have the chance to get to it. (Seiken Densetsu 3 original cartridge won't do me any good, as my japanese is sadly not beyond some random phrases learned by watching anime...)

Top reasons to get a modded SNES when living in a PAL region:
- Lufia 1
- Final Fantasy IV
- Final Fantasy VI
- Chrono Trigger

:D
