Progressive Boink

[Greg]

My family came down from Idaho for a few days, and for the occasion, I bought Mario Party 8 and we had a few rounds of that. For some reason, it seems to have less going for it then the N64 titles. The pirate map in perticular is really boring. Still, we had lots of fun, so it was worth it.

Now Buying

Toys 'R' Us is having a Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale on a number of their games, so in anticipation of receiving my Xbox 360 back from Microsoft (the support status page lists it as "shipped to customer"), I picked up Halo 3, The Orange Box, and Oblivion: GOTY edition.

I am sooooooooo dying to play Portal.

[Neil]

You should get the Orange Box for PC.

I'm trying not to install Windows on my iMac. The only good thing that can come out of PC gaming is using the keyboard and mouse for controls.

[Alex]

The PS2 version of MLB power pros is prety good, although that success mode is some straight up japanese dating simulator garbage. I did make it to the pros however! Hooray! My math-obsessed girlfriend dropped out of school to follow me, more than likely due to the three line drives she caught with her head.

oh yeah well you suck

I just played through Sin and Punishment via the Virtual Console, and despite it being super-short and the story making no sense at all, it's easily the most fun I've had with a rail shooter.

SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain

Chris Jericho & Jazz vs Jushin Liger & Trish Stratus

[Alex]

I think that's the last Smackdown game I really enjoyed. Later installments basically dropped a lot of characters and added voiceover to the season mode, which basically ruined the whole goddamn thing. Of course, I think Smackdown 2 had the best season mode.

Anybody play the latest one can tell me if the GM Mode is any better from 2005's?

[B]

No, the latest one was miserable. And if you wanted to play GM mode you had to sit through 6 loading screens going in and coming out of every match and every day, and each one takes like two minutes.

I'm playing HCTP a lot, too. Ultimo Dragon vs. Goldberg! That roster was insane.

[Dollo]

I'm playing nothing but sequels these days:

-Forza Motosport 2
-Call of Duty 3
-Splinter Cell: Double Agent

I'm actually kinda impressed with the graphics for Call of Duty 3; I wasn't expecting much for a game that was only $29.99 - but hey - whaddya know?

[Jim]

Holy fucking Christ, is CoD3 ever fun over Xbox Live. It's a shame that people probably won't be playing it much longer what with the new CoD coming out soon. Also, looking like absolutely unreal kinds of fun.

[webber]

Now playing Phoenix Wright 3. Still on the first case though. Haven't seen any typos yet!

[SayWhatNow]

Picked up Kameo today. It's pretty fun, but nowhere near Rare's N64 efforts.

I think I've seen about as many as I did in Phoenix Wright 2's Japanese release, and it seems like they get more frequent as the game goes on (approaching release deadlines, perhaps?)

OH MY GOODNESS DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING AWESOME!

[James]

playing through mgs3 (subsistence) again. This run's gimmick? I can change my face paint but as far as suits go I am using Tiger Stripe Camo for the entire game.

[Alex]

Did you ever mess around with the bonus camoflage? They took up too much space on my memory card to bother, but apparently they do some cool stuff.

[James]

i did but they (and a few of the bonus camos and facepaints that were included with Subsistence) were just "infinite ____" or "reduces _____". All number-y stuff. The Soviet Woodland looks pretty cool-type though.
