I love Sword Of The Beserk.
Short and brutally sweet.
Medieval Clint Eastwoodism at its best.
Lot's of variation too, I can play work applications and pretend to be doing something productive for a living, or I can use it for entering a WWW simulation through Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (Simulation) and browse around looking at sites that my company deems acceptable for me.
I can play this game for around eight or nine hours a day, particularly as it has various modes of 'Hide stuff from boss' incorporated. A toolbar, or Alt+TAB keystroke can be used to quickly access a work application when your boss approaches, hiding the fact that you have been on the net since 8am this morning and have done virtually nothing all day.
Occasionally, well more than occasionally, MS NT4.0 Simulator pretends to go wrong. This is great, as I get to phone up a dedicated service line and talk to actors pretending to be computer experts. They ask you a list of questions so they can work out why you have an 'error' with your game, which can usually be fixed by switching your PC off at the wall for thirty seconds, then starting it again.
The pretend error doesn't go away either, but you can continue to play MS NT4.0 Simulator so people don't mind too much. Sometimes you get a special jackpot error, that enables you to have a completely new base unit, top specs and everything. I've had this a couple of times and my colleagues are really jealous.
I get patches for my game as well, automatically downloaded via a SMS server, overnight as well so to not interrupt my playing of MS NT4.0 Simulator.
Don't delay, buy this top game for your PC right now. It's available for home PC use as well, so not being at work is no excuse.
Also play Mario tennis and No mercy with my brother everyday. triple threat ladder match every day for the hardcore title. I'm the champ with triple H at the moment.
I'm playing Conker's Bad Fur Day too, sometimes, and am up to the bit on the 'airboards'. Last time I played it I caugth all of those little plebs, but crashed into the wall just below the money, a poorly timed jump indeed!
And I'm also playing: Cannon Fodder, Earthbound and Zombies on the SNES.
Oh and Rogue Leader won't have multiplayer.
