What have you been playing?

What's everyone been playing recently? Is it good, would you recommend it? No one sentence answers please.

I've been playing Assassins Creed since this weekend. I'm really enjoying it so far. The cities are amazing and my favorite part of the game is just jumping across rooftops and trying to climb all the high buildings. There are a couple of glitches and problems with the targeting system which make the actual assassinations quite annoying but mostly it's a great game.

Anyways, that game sounds awful and according to reviews is just one long add for Purina cat food. So, why's it good?

A few days ago I got Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on the PSP; such a fantastic game. I haven't really played many turned-based strategy game (fire emblem, advance wars etc.,) but this really blows them out of the water. As far as I know, it's like most other TBS games, except for the job system which, i think, makes the game so much better.
The cutscenes are beautiful, using a sketchy anime look which really works well and the graphics, altough kinda blurry are great, and the blurriness is pretty much forgotten.
I'm only at the end of Chapter 1 but so far the story seems good and looks like it'll only get better.

I recommend this to any FF/TBS games.

Also, i'm playing Animal Crossing: Wild World though only for a few minutes a day, just to check turnip prices, talk to residents etc. I'll might write a mini-review of whatever for this later.

Beat Army of Two recently. Short game, but great.

Dialogue can be a bit much at times, still funny. Slaughtering loads of people, then they do a fist pound, and air guitar.

Patapon for the PSP is amazing. Brilliant design.

Mainly been concentrating more on building my new PC. Just ordered all the parts, should be arriving soon.

That's been taking up much of my game time.

**Ice Pray** · Mar 28, 08, 06:14 AM

The club, armored core 4, final fantasy crisis core :p a bit of condemned and thats about it

**X-Chronic** · Mar 28, 08, 09:55 AM

well Recently ive bought a PS3 with the games DMC4, Assassins Creed, Heavenly Sword, Army of Two

DMC4 i finished quite easy but nonthesless Awesome game.

Assassins Creed still busy with playing it, At the beginning its Great but after a while it gets 1 sided and a bit boring.

Heavenly Sword its a good game, not the best story but its nice.

Army of Two is not bad, but alot of Bullshit in it if you ask me.

**NinPlayBox** · Mar 28, 08, 10:50 AM

im torn on army of 2... I'll probably buy it when it get really cheap... Was creed just too repeatative?

Tim · Mar 29, 08, 01:52 PM

I'm 7/9th of the way through and I've found that it gets repetitive if you try and play it for long periods of time but doing like an hour or two a day is just great.

**Ice Pray** · Mar 30, 08, 06:26 AM

I didn't hook on creed, played it for a few hours with a friend, repetitif, and cool a sandbox with... very little to do

some bugs, AI wasn't the brightest so I didn't go buy it after having played for a few hours.

**X-Chronic** · Mar 30, 08, 02:48 PM

well, i don't have regrets of buying the game.

**Ice Pray** · Mar 30, 08, 04:05 PM

It's more of a love/hate relationship with that game, imo =) just like the Club

Tim · Mar 31, 08, 10:09 AM

For me there is no hate, there is only love. I just finished it and the ending is awesome. It's obviously leading up to the sequels but all the conspiracy stuff in it just makes me love it.

**NinPlayBox** · Mar 31, 08, 10:35 AM

i started creed.. (Got it for free froma freind who hated it) I love how its actually a futuristic game... with the memories and such it is a pretty cool idea.... I see the repetative stuff... So I am taking a hour at a time when I play or when I start getting irrated cause of no action I turn it off and play some smash brothers brawl hells yea

**The Dudemeister** · Mar 31, 08, 01:01 PM

Well, I'm a bit behind on the gaming generation. I still only have a playstation 2, which took me forever to buy.

I just bought a hole in the wall game called "Kakuto Chojin" and let me say, it is utter brilliance. (Fighter) It's fighting system is a bit weird at first, but once you g et sued to it, you can do huge combos. They also have this battle royale mode, that can support up to four players. (Xbox of course). It like a free roam kind of thing, in a little area, and the four people can just beat the **** out of anyone, it's way sweet.

Reservoir · Mar 31, 08, 03:49 PM

I beat Assassin's Creed, and while it is repetitive, I played it just to see how the story unfolds. Plus, it got a bit more challenging as the game progressed, so those more repetitive tasks became harder to execute, usually because of more guards, more alert guards, et. cetra.

I'm playing Guitar Hero 3 right now. Shit's awesome, but hard as heck sometimes. I beat it on easy, but I'm going back through on regular. I FEAR Expert...tried to play one song on it once...and got booed off the stage

Anyway, I'm thinking about going back and playing Gears some more. I miss the frantic gameplay, and I can't wait for Grand Theft Auto 4, which should carry the "cover" aspects from Gears. I'm definitely gonna be playing it once it comes out.

Other than that, I ain't playing anything else.

Tim · Apr 01, 08, 01:04 PM

I've just started playing Saints Row and it's a bit meh. I was expecting for it to be an okay, not great not awful , game and kinda is but it's also buggy as hell. I've only been playing it for like under 2 hours and my car has magically disappeared 4 times (one of which caused the game to freeze and had to be reset) and I've been randomly transported across the map for no explicable reason. I'm just glad I bought this for so little. It's really not a good sign that I had more fun on the demo than I'm having with the full game.
