A few days ago I bought Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for the PS2. I got it for $10.23 brandnew at Fry's Electronics. I wasn't suppose to spend any money since I had already forked over half my paycheck on games this month.

After staring at the game for 5 minutes, I decided to buy it. I thought to myself I'd be kicking myself in the ass later if didn't. It so cheap. I'm glad I did because RECVX is quite fun to play.

The knife is damn powerful in this game, not powerful as a shotgun, but if used correctly you can literatlly put down one zombie in three swings. You can't use the knife expoit as in RE3, instead use the down slash to do mulitple hits in one swing leading to tons damage.

I'm halfway thru the game and up to now I've survived with only my knife, seriously. I'm kinda obessed knifing every zombie to death. Slash the legs, zombie on floor, rake the back twice w/ knife for mulit-hits.

That's the key to saving ammo in recv.

Get use to useing the knife and you should be set.

oh La Pucelle is a nice game.. but you need to spend hours just to level up your characters... I think chapter 4 was pretty hard.

I just sold my PS2 recently.. most of this generation's games just don't do anything for me..  

I'm only playing the retro stuff and Nintendo DS..

Animal Crossing and Dr Kawashima's brain training  :lol:

NEC PC-88 and MSX2:
Psy-O-Blade

For the past 4 days I locked myself away in my room, and played both versions of Psy-O-Blade on the PC-88 and MSX2 at the same time. I haven't finished the game yet, hell I don't even think I'm halfway thru it. All I know is I've finally escape the prison and I'm progessing thru the story plot. It's time to take a breather I guess.

I want to search for some Psy-O-Blade info on the web, but most links lead to japanese webpages and the google translator stinks. What's a really good webpage for translating japanese?

Well, I was just playing the Gameboy Color version of R-Type on my old GBA.  I used to LOVE this game...before I got a TurboExpress.  Now it's just funny.

Sadly, I died 3 times in the first stage of the GB version, while I can get to at least stage 5 without dying in TG16 R-Type.  That's just wrong.

I'm playing Ys Book I & II again right now. It is entertaining (of course, it is Ys!), but much too easy, and I don't like the music.  :)

Chronicles or Riddick for pc. I have been playing that and Bet on Soldier alot these past few days. Since I am on the subject I want to bitch for a min or two.
The game:
Tom (I suck ass) Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for pc.
Why?
1. You walk at grannys pace,actually if granny had  a walker she would still outpace you,you move that slow.

2.When you run,you still move slow,like your trying to jog in place slow. Like you dont take the threat of being sprayed with semi-automatic bullets as being life or death. You run like you just Big Mac'd and supersized your meal at McDonalds 15 times in 1 day,or like your on bloody stumps. The point is,the run key really doesn't work,because your really not running.

3. When you "run" you can't shoot. This is retarded. Yes I totally agree that you can't aim well while in a run,but you can damn well spray some bullets and hope for the best. Nope,in this game they got you running away like a little scared bitch,even worse since you dont really run,its more like crawling away like  a scared little bitch.

Imagine what would have happened if Bill Rizer or Lance Bean had to f*cking run away from the Red Falcon because they couldn't run and shoot?

What would have happened to Ralph and Clark? ? ?


I mean crap,ABBA wouldn't even have helped you if that was the case. I know what your gonna say,Ralph and Clark did not run,but this I tell you,remember how slow Ralph and Clark moved in waist high water? You were still able to dodge bullets and gernades correct?

That pace is still worlds faster then when you "run" in Ghost Recon. If Ralph and Clark were real,and were dropped into the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter storyline,crashed their plane there,ect...the game would be beaten in like 10 mins,cause Ralph and Clark are so damn bad ass,with only a machine gun and some gernades,maybe a tank or two.

Sarge from Quake 3 you ask???? He'd f*cking smoke Mexico City into nothing,running and shooting the whole time. Sam,he would serious bomb the city into nothing,then as the terrorist run,he would smoke them with his chaingun. This is a good example of how f*cking weak your character is in Ghost Recon, even Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell kicks more ass and moves faster,even when he is in crawl mode.

4. You die way way too easy. It felt like I was a fragile china doll. Thats like saying all that gear your character wears,millions of dollars spent on high tech crap,its all worthless,because it can't stop like 4 f*cking bullets.
I would have thought that the fine folks at Ubisoft and Tom Clancy himself knew that high tech bullet proof vest and head gear could stop more then 4 bullets,hell any bullets. Your armor doesn't stop shit. Each time your shot your hurt. Bet On Soldier walks all over this game,and in Bet on Soldier,your lucky if you got some trashcan lid for armor.

5. Mexico City. Its looks better in the game then in real life. They left out alot of the smog and trash.



 I thought Ageia would help make the enviroments more realistic like pictured above.......


      So nasty young and the old alike can't breath.



6. f*cking clown shoes Tom,all your games are f*cking clown shoes.



Ahh enough ranting now. I guess that is my kinda sorta review for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for pc.

I got Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time NDS for my birthday (been a long time since I got something this nice on a birthday), and I like it. Very fun gameplay but the story suffers in every department. But really, what to expect? It's a Mario RPG.  :roll:

Played it for like four hours today.

I just finished Grandia for the Saturn... what a great RPG.  I first played through it when it came out (I bought it in Dec. '97) and I decided to play through it again since I remembered absolutely nothing about it.  So if you play an RPG through once, come back to it again about 10 years later and it will seem like an all new game =)

I think I'll stick with Game Arts and play through Lunar MPEG version next...

and also try Lunar Eternal blue as well ^__^

It seems like they had a much smaller budget but the voice acting is top notch later on in the story. plus theres a great epilogue at the end to play through.

I am back from the PCEFX dead.

YouTube has completely diverted me from all the message boards I post at.

Now I can make movies off emulators, particularly arcade and Famicom.

Been playing original Sega CD Lunar SS.
