What are you playing?

Go Retro with the NES, SNES, Master System, or Mega Drive/Genesis, Go 3D with the Dreamcast, N64 or Playstation, Go high-power with the PS2, Gamecube and X-Box or go Next-Gen with DS, PSP, X-Box 360, PS3 or Wii - whichever you want.

Games AND Consoles are to be discussed... but please, for the sake of our sanity don't argue about which console is best. >>

Ummm... Lot's of stuff right now.

GBA- Pokemon Emerald(Stuck on third gym)

PS3-Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Xbox 360-I'm trying out Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Also tried some game called Soul Caliber III which combines anime characters with a couple Star wars characters, and they fight, kinda like Mortal Kombat, only with weapons. -_-

DS-Playing through Pokemon Black AGAIN. Also, trying to defeat Chaos in Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light.

Wii- Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games: London 2012, and also playing through Sonic Unleashed once more.

Gamecube- I decided to play Pokemon XD for old times sake.

That's about it for now.

Soul Calibur is actually a pretty good game. The Character Creation tool is really enjoyable. Don't know if that tool is available in Soul Calibur III, but in IV it is.

As for me:

Pokémon Blue
Sumotori Dreams
Skyrim
Minecraft

I picked up Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (3DS) a few days ago and I've been addicted to it ever since. I'm loving it so much that I decided to purchase Final Fantasy V from the PSN and playthrough it as it's one of the only main series FF games that I've never properly played (thus I didn't recognize most of its music in Theatrhythm). :)

Other than that, I played through several worlds on Super Mario 3D Land while away on vacation and have been playing more Pikmin 2 & Xenoblade as well. I was playing Pokemon Conquest until recent, but since I've beaten the main story I'm taking a break from it to give other games more focus.

What did you doooooooooooooo?

The PSX version is really not so good. Best one is the GBA port.
Great game though.


Personally I went back to Streetfighter 4. Such a good game. It should offer enough entertainment for at least 5 more years for me.
If anybody wants to clash, message me. Learning a new Character currently so I'm kinda neutered right now.

I missed out on getting the GBA port, plus I never play my DS Lite anymore. For that reason alone it was worth opting for the PSN version, even if it does lag slightly. The load times are actually fairly decent considering how bad I'd expected them to be.

Only because of the Black Mages. If not for them I'd likely never had heard the song before. :x

Might as well add that I downloaded/started playing Mighty Switch Force yesterday. Nintendo of America is now putting one eShop game on sale each weekend, and this weekend's pick was Mighty Switch Force for $2.99. Hard to argue with a price that good, and I'd wanted to try out the game anyways. It's actually not quite what I expected but it's still pretty fun. A nice mesh of platforming and puzzle gaming. :)

The load times are quicker because it runs off an iso and not a regular CD on the PSX. Main reason why the GBA version is better though is that it offers both a better translation and additional content.
But its really not so bad with the PSX one.


Also, I got Dragons Dogma yesterday. I think its hilarious that the japanese show their dominance in what was supposed to be one of the main western video game genres.
It puts mediocre titles like Skyrim, Dragonage or any Mass Effect to shame and actually feels like a real adventure and in fact like a game.
It got me hooked from the first hour.

After the success Demons and Dark Souls it seems that we will see some more medieval fantasy themed japanese games in the future.
Thats not bad as they seem to be the best at working with this material.
I am really sick of Tolkien ripoff #1414235 with horrible gameplay.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - A classic Im playing for the first time, reminds me of the classic Zelda formula.

Pokemon Black 2 - Bianca and the glasses @_@

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - I sound like a weirdo when you hear nothing but Objection, Take That and Hold It being shouted from my room.

Were FFV's extras additional plot stuff or just an extra dungeon? I can't fully remember anymore, nor can I recall why I didn't bother purchasing it for GBA way back when...

Moving on. I've been playing lots of Kingdom Hearts 3D recently and making fairly good progress. On the side I've also been playing Fortune Street for Wii, sometimes single player but more often multiplayer. Never would've thought that a mash up of Dragon Quest, Mario, and Monopoly-ish gameplay could be so much fun.

I have been playing all of the Skyrim. All of it. Seriously, I've racked up a nice 250 hours this summer. Being that I actually hold a 9-5 job and still take kung fu, I'm impressed with how much time I've been able to waste c:

Also doing a runthrough of Pokemon White 2, although it's entirely in Japanese (battle system included), so half of the time I have no idea what I'm doing. Running an LP of it currently on tumblr.

Been playing Cave Story+ on Steam, completed Easy mode, now moving onto normal.
Aaaaand using the Tekkit mod for Minecraft, even though I have no idea what I'm doing.
Hoping to get Kingdom Hearts 3d before the end of August too.

Still trying to power my way through Diablo. I've done the Butcher on Inferno and that's as far as I've got. Had a brief visit to Inferno Act II and swiftly retreated. Think I'll be farming Act I for better items for a good while before attempting that again :D

Guild Wars 2, with my friends c:

Also fiendishly wiggling my fingers for Skyrim's new DLC Hearthfire to come out on PC (and yes, I know there are mods that do the exact thing, but I'm still excited so shh)

Over the weekend I played some Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2 with my younger sister. I also booted up my free PSP copy of LittleBigPlanet on my Vita. The Vita's resolution makes LBP PSP look a tad ugly but it's better than nothing. I played through the demo of Gravity Rush and it was pretty fun, but I'm not yet sure if I want to purchase the full game. Oh, I guess I played about 5 minutes of Zen Pinball 2 as well but I likely won't play much more of it. I've never cared much for pinball games...

Since Monday I've been playing more New Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as a bit of Mighty Switch Force and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror to pass the time. I also took Kirby's 20th Anniversary Dream Collection for a spin yesterday evening and man, I likely haven't played some of those Kirby games in ages but they're still so fresh in my mind. Makes me feel old.
