What Are You Playing? - August 2008

Mario Galaxy is one of those games you should get even if you don't care much for platformers.

Still Playing FF IV. I just finished the Sylph Cave (literally 30 seconds ago), I'm about 23 hours in and everyone is around level 50. Now I'm about to tackle the Eidolons' cave and get Asura & Leviathan for Rydia.

MLB Power Pros 2008 (ps2) had been taking a lot of my time as well. I'm kinda addicted to playing the MLB Life mode with my created players.

Btw I'll say it again, since Strider's post makes me think of it.

It is a goddamn travesty that Dracula X for the PC Engine is not on the Virtual Console.


That is all.

i am doing amazing in dead rising, ive only lost 2 people because i didnt answer the call, i am at 3,500 zombies killed and i am at the butcher boss.

Wow everything has been going skin of my teeth awesome, ahhh.

I don't much care for platformers. I'm going to get Fire Emblem & probably Zelda, and for some reason Dragon Quest Swords appeals to me. I'll probably check out Mario when I've gone through all the other stuff - there's a huge black hole of nothing ahead for the system, so no huge rush.

Same here. I don't really watch or follow much baseball but this game is pretty addicting.

No you're not, if you were paying attention a few weeks ago I started playing through the Orange Box too. I mean, I bought the Orange Box for Portal and finally decided to get the rest of my money out of it, but yeah, HL2 has not blown my skirt up so far. I stalled out halfway through EP1 because it was more broken down city shit, but I heard 2 is out in the woods and I desperately want to get there.

Yeah, they aren't anything amazing. I have to say, the textures are definately dumbed down for the consoles, and the gameplay overall can get boring at times. I suppose for its time, it was a big milestone, but now, it definitely lacks some pop. Overall though, I still think they are something to play through, and the story, though not amazing, keeps me playing to find out what happens.
