So what are you playing now?

[ActRaiser1]

I've been playing Lego Star Wars, EDF 2017, and Symphony of the Nights on the 360 with SOTN getting most of my play time when available.

[JustLikeHeaven1]

Right now I have been playing a bunch of different stuff.  I'll break it down by system.

PS3 - Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Demo), NBA Street: Homecourt

360 - The Outfit

Wii - Punch Out (VC), Wii Sports, Wii Play, The Godfather


My PS3 has been getting the most use right now.  I am really impressed by the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Demo.  I already own that game on the Xbox and I will be buying it again when it comes out.  Its one of the prettiest games I've ever seen. 

I am also loving Untold Legends.  This game got such awful reviews that I almost didn't buy it.  I bought it brand new on ebay for $25 and I couldn't have been happier.  This game plays just like Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (a major plus for me).  There are issues with the camera in multiplayer, but its still mindless fun. 

I'm still chipping away at Oblivion.  For some reason I cannot sit down and plug long hours into that game.  Its a great game, but I only play it in small doses.  Its not really my type of RPG.

Been playing carmageddon 64 this past week (emulated) . Only playing emulated because its quite hard to track down. In addition been playing Mike Piazza Strikzone on my n64. Sure that game looks hideous and has really, really low scores but I've always enjoyed it. Simple controls, Mammoth 900ft homeruns and a full 9 inning game even if there is plenty of scoring takes under 20 minutes. In fact a world series that took four games took just over an hour to complete. Given how long baseball games take to play its nice to be able to breeze through an entire game without it bragging on.

I forgot to mention the older games that I have been playing recently.

SNES - Super Mario World & Super Punch Out

PS3 - Mortal Kombat II

Super Mario World is one of the best Mario games IMO.  I played it with my cousin this weekend and it was a blast.  It truly is one of the best games ever made.  Its crazy how much I remember playing it again.  Good times. 

Super Punch isn't as good as the NES game, but its still better than 95% of boxing games out there. 

I have been really enjoying Mortal Kombat II on the PS3.  The game looks great in 1080p resolution and its nearly arcade perfect (a few graphical glitches here and there).  Playing online is where the fun is at.  I have found that most people kick my ass, but when you finally get an opponent that is equal to you, its addicting.  The PS3 d-pad isn't ideal for fighters and after about an 1 hour my thumbs need a rest.  Still the thrill of pulling off a fatalitly on some fool is great fun.  There is no voice chat, and that a godsend for me.  The last thing I want to do is hear the hate that people spew to strangers in online matches.   

This game is a steal at $4.99 and it really makes you wonder how Nintendo gets away with charging $8-$10 for straight ports of old games.  Just adding the online features makes an already excellent fighter that much better.  If Mario Kart 64 had that feature it would have been downloaded months ago...

I'm playing Animal crossing and some of the NES games inside.

JLH - also playing Punch Out, and what fun it is! I've gotten back up to Soda Popinski, but I haven't come close to beating him. I popped in the code for Mike Ty-, uh I mean, "Mr Dream", and I almost find it impossible to believe anyone could beat him. I never will, but Punch Out is definetly one of the top 5 NES games, hands-down.

Also playing the origional SMB, the only Mario Bros game I have never beaten. For some reason I'll play this game for a while and then quit, I have beaten every other Mario game, and unlocked every level, so I need to do this for, uh, 'closure'.

Right now my Wii is just a fancy GC, I am going to wait until some titles like Heatseekers go budget, and pick them up later. Maybe I will buy Galaxy and Smash Bros as new releases.

Currently playing...
 
XBox 360: EDF 2017 (I don't know why this game is so fun, it just is)
Wii: Warioware Smooth Moves
PS2: Mercury Meltdown Remix
PS3: Um..."The Prestige" and "Night at the Museum" on Blu-Ray (sad, isn't it?)

I need to get something new for the PS3, I'm considering the F1 game...any opinions about it?

What games do you already own for the PS3?  Also what type of games do you like?  If you can tell me those two things I might be able to point you in the right direction...

I have been spending an awful lot of time at doctors lately having tests and therapy and being poked and proded, so it's mostly been my DS I've been playing. I just got the Millipede/ Super Breakout/ Lunar lander game pack(GBA), Millipede rocks. Also playing Atari Retro, Arcade Advance (GBA), Namco and Pac Man Collections (GBA).... pretty retro these days.

[ajsmart1]

Unbeaten games had really started piling up in my collection, so a few months back I decided to restrict myself to two games at a time (one console, one handheld) until I finished them before moving on.

 

At the moment..

Okami for the PS2

Zelda a Link to the Past on GBA

 

and by finished I mean seeing some sort of ending in the game, not necessarily beating the game 100%.

I've got Motorstorm (fun) and Resistance (okay).  I like racing games, more arcadey than realistic (i.e.: Burnout > Gran Turismo).  I'm afraid the F1 game is overly realistic, and that I won't entirely enjoy it, but it sure looks good.
