Nocturne looks to be the one recent RPG to really hook me in.
I've got a good chunk of free time tonight, so I'll get to make a better judgment after a handfull of hours in.
Most nights if I do have any gaming time, it is only an hour or less, so I stick to games that I'm more familiar with and haven't yet completed.
Borderdown and Trizeal are my most often played games recently, with Download 2 or Spriggan getting thrown in when I want to change things up.
Diving into Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for the first time. Also mixing in some DOA:Ultimate over Live, and I'm going back to some of the difficult campaigns in Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders.
I don't recall many that people praising PSIV's soundtrack. The sound quality is my main issue in IV. It was grating at times. The compositions weren't as good as Uwabo's(who did I and II) either.Quote:

Max Payne 2 - A bit here and there for a quick action fix.
Super Mario 64 DS - Still a masterpiece but I'm not super addicted to it since I have played it so much on N64.
The GG Shinobi series(mostly Part 2) - I was afraid they might have aged poorly but they haven't. They're still excellent and quite different from the various console and arcade games.
I'm tempted to start Morrowind again but I think I will wait for Oblivion.
Guild Wars
Hot Shots Gold: Open Tee
That's about it this week.
Aww, I miss these threads. Lately I've been playing Goemon's Great Adventure, God of War, and Tales of Symphonia. All very fun games :) I cant wait to try Goemon with two players.
Been playing a whole ton of MG Acid. Almost done, I think... there's a lot about the gameplay that's clunky and kind of annoying, but if they can fix this up in the sequel, I think it's going to be great. I'm liking it a lot thus far.
Started playing Wipeout Pure again the other night, and now I can't stop. When I'm done with both I guess I'll pick up Lumines and Ridge Racers, and then I'll probably have all that's worth playing on PSP right now, but I don't think that'll be for a while, plus thanks to 1.5 I've been playing a lot of Megaman 2, Tetris DX, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Shinobi 2 was easily my favorite GG game. Switching between different ninja styles for different powers ruled. The one part I disliked was the maze of a last level where you had to go through the rooms each assigned a different letter, I never did get past that last level, I still loved the game though!Quote:

I also got my hands on the Megadrive Ninja Gaiden ROM. It is thoroughly unspectacular. I did like the Niagara Falls level with the majestic frozen mountains in the background though. There are no mountains within like 1000 miles of the falls - OMG draw distance!
