In the old Tendo City tradition I thought it would be nice to start a topic about what game is currently in your Gamecube (or any of your other systems); what have you been playing the most lately.
And we need some more casual video game topics, you know? Not everything has to be news-related.
GC: Mario Golf. I got the game at Circuit City for only $35 by using a $5 Best Buy coupon (they accepted it, much to my surprise) and getting that $10 gift certificate from them for buying Mario Golf (the deal expired today). Well anyhow, it's a very fun game and gets very tough. I haven't been this close to throwing my Wavebird up against a wall since... well since ever, actually. It's not so much that it's very tough than that the characters you compete against jump for joy when they win, which really gets on my nerves. If only there was lightgun support. :woo: The only dissapointing aspect of MG is that they took out the mini golf mode from MG 64, which was a ton of fun. But ah well, I guess I'll have to buy back that game to enjoy some mini.
X-Box: KOTOR. After playing it for 21 hours in just three days I kind of burned myself out so I took a little brake from it to enjoy Mario Golf. I'll beat this awesome RPG soon. I just don't want to finish it all so fast.
GBA: Four Swords. I've been playing a lot of this lately and I can't believe how much fun I'm still having with it. I know that the upcoming Gamecube version won't have online support, but if it did... damn. I'd never leave my room... so I guess that's kind of a good thing then, huh?
PS2: Onimusha 2. I picked it up at Circuit City a few weeks ago for a measly $10, and I was very surprised by how much fun it is. I didn't really care for the first game too much since the whole soul tug-of-war thing was really tough on my fingers (tap tap tap like mad!), but Oni 2 fixed that problem and the result is a much better experience.
PC: A whole lotta' Battlefield mods. From Eve of Destruction (best BF mod yet, IMO) to BF Pirates to the brand-new Star Wars BF mod, I've been playing a whole lot of Battlefield lately. Thank you, mod community.
N64: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. After having rented it a bunch of times several years ago, I finally found a used copy for real cheap at Blockbuster a few weeks ago so I immediately bought it. It's a very fun game, a great mix of Mario and Zelda with a great, insane feudal Japanese setting. IIIMPAAAAACTUUUUUUUU!
PS1: Parasite Eve. I started playing it a few months ago and have enjoyed it a good deal, but kinda stopped playing like I do with so many other games. I should really finish it before I move onto something else...
