Current ones yes. Not a great fan however.

Halo....Discuss

So, still not able to get back on Red Dead yet, maybe tonight. Played some Tekken 6 and got some more Achievements done. I know it's not the most popular fighting game but I've followed the franchise through from the first one and it's nice that the story mode is tying these together a bit more (with the exception of TTT).

It's a bit like 2 games in one really, the story mode is an action RPG and the arcade mode is the traditional fighter, which I find I'm far better at than Street Fighter (not that it's hard for me, I'm terrible at SF games).

I've not played a Tekken game since TTT on the PS2. I always liked the games but I'm quite disappointed in this offering. The arcade mode is still solid although I think it now requires a mastering of the moves which the earlier games didn't need to the same degree. I think it's gone a bit Street Fighter in that respect. I find times when I am completely unable to get off the ground because the AI is laying into me and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. Even the usual rolling or swift low kick were too slow to prevent the battering.

I've also seen the AI keep me in the air until KO and I had more than half a health bar at the time. Again I was unable to do anything about that.

I'm finding the story mode is fairly terrible and the gameplay is a little basic. What happened to Tekken Bowling? That was at least fun?

Tekken Tag was my first game on the Ps2, along with Unreal Tournmament!

Never really one for fighting games too much, except for Naruto ones, the best ever has to be Power Stone on the Dreamcast lol, i had so much fun playing that!

Story mode seems to be getting better as I go through it on Tekken 6. The arcade mode feels a little more like Dead or Alive.

My favourite fighter has to be Soul Calibur on Dreamcast though, another series I followed through from Soul Blade/Edge on PS1.

I'd agree with Soul Calibur, excellent game. I dusted off the Dreamcast and played it recently and it's still good.

I've not got too far in the Tekken 6 story mode. It picked up a little when I got my hands on a gattling gun but sadly that didn't last long. Can you block in story mode? Anytime I've pressed in the opposite direction my character moves off. I took a pummelling in the level with all the Gun Jacks and barely had any health by the time I reach the boss so didn't last long.

Have you kitted up in the world screen? If you start to wear the clothes you collect through the levels they will give you extra strength, defence and powers which help get you though the level. Don't forget to level up both characters.

Oh, and yes, I am able to block by pressing back on the digital pad, doesn't seem to work so well on the analogue though.

I love Soul Calibur, the only DOA game I played was the beach volleyball one. Of course it wasn't mine you understand. :¬P

Playing HL2 makes me want to go back and play TimeSplitters. (you guys would have loved that game, I wonder if they'll make any more) Talking of HL2
