I don't know why, I finished Zelda and decided to return to my older titles rather than lunge into any new ones (Pokemon soon yay). I should really play the still far from complete Metroid but that bores me so I had a laugh a minute blast on the frankly excellent and addictive Timesplitters 2, had some mates over to play it too. This is turning out just like Perfect Dark on how much I play it.
So go on what have you been playing? and why?
...Actually, I read something in a walkthrough about "pushing" the ghost several weeks ago, I just never got around to playing it.
That's one of the main things I love about Nintendo games - it's not always "hack-and-slash" like everything else on the market. :)
They arrived just before my holiday, but I got around to opening and playing The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Pool Paradise yesterday after I got back. I like them both! I've almost lost all my money already playing pool, while I found I got a little bored of the Simpsons game too easily... I'd still reccomend them both though.
Mario Golf is very good i found, the look on my brothers face when Pikmin leapt from the grass was priceless (he loves that game).
I had Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong bought for me by my brother from here.
I bought the SP and Pacman where I worked for Ł89.99 and had a fiver off of Zelda and Excitebike.
And because they didn't have the other three games, I had to buy them from another local retailer for full price.
As for Mario Golf - I'm suprisingly enjoying it! I've never been keen on golf games, but Mario Golf and the golf minigames in the Monkey Ball series are very good fun.
Is there like deal somewhere where you can buy all 8 NES classics...
I'm more tempted than I should be.
SR do it surprisingly cheap (actually the cheapest I've found)...
*claps*
Do you think any of the NES classics will hit the Europe top ten.
I've mostly been playing:
GameCube: Mario Golf
GBA: Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Ice Climbers, Xevious, Pacman, Bomberman, Excitebike, Pokémon Ruby. I'm saving Zelda til after I've done Pokémon Ruby.
Xbox: Spider-man 2 and Midtown Madness 3 (Live)
PC: Doom 1, 2, Final Doom
