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?
Pro Evo 5 is meant to be wicked. Apparently it's rock hard, and it plays like a proper simulation game now, relying very heavily on tactics.
Wonder what EA are gonna do with FIFA this year. New weather modes, maybe? Or maybe this time the ball can be customised?! Oooh, I can't wait.
Suck it ninties! ;)
Well I've just reached disc 2 on Baten Kaitos. It's getting really involving actually, which is pretty darn surprising considering how dickish the characters really are. I'm now fighting Giacomo, which is insanely hard.
Skies will be my next RPG after this one. Man, GC RPG's rock.
Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, amazing (but incredibly WTF) plot...
Anyhoo, I've been playing Rainbow Six Lockdown this evening. It's alright, but its flaws are becoming more obvious. They've somehow managed to make the AI dumber than Rainbow Six 3, from 2 years back. Nice one, Ubisoft.
The combat and action scenes and animations and truly exceptional. Even better than Link in The Wind Waker, I'd say.
I hear the sequel's a big dissapointment though?
Still, I'm only 10% through this game yet. :D
I also dusted off Animal Crossing after 3 months and won a couple of competitions in Mario Power Tennis.
