Just installed super monkey ball 2 for the iphone! It was released yesterday and is a million times better than the first one (but not any less sadistic).

 

I hate Monkey Ball so much.

I might buy Borderlands tomorrow as I have a massive boner for anything post-apocalyptic, anyone got it?

i played borderlands for like a week straight after i got it and was really into it, then mw2 was released, and then assassins creed 2, and now i just don't feel like getting back to borderlands, it's fun for a while, but more of a transition game for me, between uncharted 2 and mw2.

I don't have the patience for the balancing act. It's too damn hard and fruitless.

yeshhh, i had a hankering out of nowhere to play intelligent qube aka kurushi, and just found a torrent.

Drakes Fortune 1

The explosions are awful and theres way too much shooting. You cant walk more than 10metres without having killed 20 enemies.

The characters arent that appealing either, but at least the gameplay is unnerving.

Currently playing Left 4 Dead 2 and hopefully soon Crysis. Since my vid card upgrade I played the demo on high settings with 30 fps

Garou: Mark of Wolves and Peggle. I really want to get Shadow Complex too but will have to wait

I just bought Bad Company to get a hype going for the next installment in the Bad Company series.

Btw. Max Payne 3 has just been pushed back yet again. Sad news indeed but then again it looks really weird and nothing like a Max Payne game.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii here and there.

You need to play Monkey Ball with a GameCube pad or a Nintendo analog controller in general, the octagonal edge around the stick and the ultra solid spring really helps, it's a great game when you have proper analog control.

The gamecube monkey ball games are the shit.

Eve Online is fun if you´re not playing. I love the complexity, the fitting, all the micromanagement OUTSIDE of the game. but it´s totally boring if you play it. i was in a big alliance (Razor), enormous fights 1000 vs 1000 ships, but it was still boring. cancelled my account a fe months ago, and i´m not going back.

I finished Bouncy Tales on Nokia 6303 Classic

I completely understand where you are coming from, especially being that I don't like the "combat" in every MMO ive ever played. I like visceral knee jerk twitch skill based combat. So yes I get what your saying the combat isn't exactly exciting per say, traveling system to system is super slow and tedious etc. Based on what ive always said about the boring lack of dynamic entertainment in the combat/control in MMO's its highly ironic that im thinking of finally getting a account in Eve.

But the visual style, the music I personally put in the jukebox to heighten the immersion, the complexity of possible ways I could approach making a billion ISK and progressively get huger ships is exciting to me. The social dynamics of spys, wars, pirates, scams and shit is pretty interesting too. You ever did much wormhole mining operations, pirating, or anything besides large corporate warfare?

You're probably not as good as this guy:

this video blows my mind every time i see it , and ive watched it about 40 times

Never really liked Radiant Silvergun, it was so slooooowwwwwww, the chaining was pants too, the presentation was great and so was the gameplay.

Need to check the GC version of Ikaruga, used to play a lot of the DC version, cool thing was that the chain score was displayed on the VMU.

I'm not even looking forward to it. The way it looks, they should have just called it something else and had some other protagonist. Seems like it's just gone generic action game.

Legend of Zelda: The Spirit Tracks - Not sure what to make of it so far.

i got dragon age today, it sure aint pretty to look at, but im only two hours in and already it seems like a pretty addictive game.

i got it today but cant play it till christmas

being a kid sucks
