Civ IV is excellent, but Civ V is also great!  They play quite a bit differently, so for me V will never replace IV.  The way you do combat in V is a lot more tactical, not stack and smash like IV is.  You're only allowed one military unit per hex (yeah its a hex based map instead of square) but units have ranged attacks etc.  About my only gripe in V is the fact that you cant build a monster empire like you can in earlier games.  Its just impossible to keep building cities because you cant support them.  You can take over enemy cities without absorbing them into your empire, so that does work. Do pick up V though, its a very enjoyable game!

Oh and I played Neutopia on the TG16 (had to test out a booster plus) and some Modern Warfare 3 on the PS3.

Thanks for the info on V, Blue!  I'm sure I'll pick it up off Steam during one of their crazy sales. 

Speaking of Steam, I've played a fair amount of Dungeons of Dredmor recently.  It plays like a 16-bit console version of Nethack.

I guess I should try some of the newer Soul Caliber games... I still just play Soul Caliber 1 on Dreamcast or Arcade and that's about it.  I tried to play 2 on Gamecube but it just didnt seem as good as 1 was.

^ well like i have said a few times before. I play fighters at a competitive level. So my opinions are a little different than other people. I enjoy it because i feel the new systems they added, add to the competitive nature of fighting games. Theres a meter system that was added to the game. Theres also super moves that use 1 full meter (u can get a max of 2) and there are also EX moves that use a portion of your meter. So it adds a level of meter management that 3D fighters don't have

Also theres a new guard system that also uses some meter, and a parry type move that uses no meter but is very frame specific. All these features add to the the game, and make it better for competitive players. But at the end of the day, its still soul calibur, and you can have great fun just playing casually.

Psh.  I'm still playing Soul Blade on the PS1.  Love that game!

Y'all might know this breed of threads at other gaming forums as "Currently Playing/Daily Check" Threads. Post whatever you played for the day, or big accomplishments, brag about getting your new game or tell how great that underrated game you tried was.

I think Final Lap Twin is an underrated game. I like the RPG part the most. It's almost like Dragon Warrior in a way but, with racing.
I would like to see more games like this on the TG16/PC-E.

You may already know that the exact same premise has been applied to a TENNIS game. I'll let you figure out which tennis game is blessed with this RPG quest.

I, too, love the RPG infusion.

Definitely an awesome game!  Have you played Zero Mission?

Been playing Silent Hill Origins on PSP. It's fantastic. It is very typical of all Silent Hill games. If you are a fan of the series, you will love this game!

Nope.  I haven't played NES Metroid in ages (20 years?) and never really could get into Prime on the GC.  This is the first Metroid game I've played since.

Well, if you're enjoying Fusion, and you liked the original NES Metroid, you should definitely pick it up.  It's basically a GBA rehash of the original story.  I personally liked it better than Fusion, but most people seem to prefer it over Zero Mission.  Still worth a play, though.
