Open Discussion about Video Games
Snaileb | 9:47 AM on 04.21.2008 30 comments


Come on in, the atmosphere is dank with nerd joy.

Alot of stuff has been happening this year, mainly to bring the best games on time for Summer. I know there's been alot of impressions, rants, and previews, and this could certainly fit well in the forums, but I have alot to say.

Games I'm playing

First off : TOO MANY GAMES! Currently for the Xbox 360, I gamefly'ed The Club and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (sweeeeet) with Lost Oddesy and Resident Evil : UC coming to the house. I'm still trying for that seriously achievement (2000 kills away) to prep myself for Gears 2. Ikaruga has been kicking my ass on repeat, and for those who haven't picked it up or figured it out : Dark Sector blew. Oh and the new COD4 maps are phenomenal. When the crap will Killhouse be used to gain XP? (COD4 blog coming, I swears.)

On the Wii, I've been having a blast. I downloaded Link to the Past and Super Metroid. I play these alot when I'm not on Brawl, and today you need to download River City Ransom. We can hop on XBL, play at the same time and pretend we're online with each other.. and stuff..

And finally, I purchased a DS. I mainly bought it for the woman, and got her Prof Layton and Pokemon Diamond. Except.. I picked up pokemon, and I'm straight hooked. 107 pokemon with 7 badges in 40 hours. I tend to play inbetween deaths in Gears.. yeah now my fiancee hates me. I just have to buy a seperate DS I guess..

Games I want to play

GTA4

That is all I can think of. From the co-op to the deathmatch, and even some healthy competition for our competing brands of gaming goodness : Sony and Microsoft. There's enough hooker slapping for everyone, please don't be like Wardrox.

Also, Mortal Kombat vs DC. To the haters, I say let go of the past. All the people that don't care for this game seem to be MK fans, and all the people who busted a nut want to finally have a Batman vs Superman game. I'm the latter, and I simply cannot understand all the negativity. For more on this, see Butmac. He sums it up in a way I could never replicate.

The Iron Man demo! YESSSS oh lord I had a blast. In fact, I played it four times just to master the flight controls and jet through the level as a certified badass. It seems more like a Mech game, maybe some Armored Core 4. The weapons were pretty simple and only a few were present, so hopefully the upgrades will provide some more diversity. Let's just hope it drops in price soon, hmm?

Games that shouldn't be played

I've been playing ALOT of Dreamcast too. Marvel VS Capcom 2 seems to be the only other fighting game I excel at besides Smash, even though I know I'm probably poop. Well there's alot of other games on the DC that other people suggested to me, and here I'll label some that you should stay very far away from.

Illbleed
Ooga Booga
Powerstone 2
Neo Geometix
Heavy Metal (Soundtrack is epic.. but.. a it's heavy metal game)
Psychic Force 2012 (so cheesy it should be good.. but it's not)
Dynamite Cop (Did you know if you use a light gun on an HD tv it doesn't work?)


All in all, it's been an eventful week away from the internet and into my gaming room. I don't have much else to say.. what are you guys mashing your thumbs to this week?

I second the want to play GTA4. It certainly looks fucking amazing.
weedgan's Destructoid Blog
Long time no post, snail.

I think everyone in the world is excited for GTA4.

HYPE LEVELS REACHING CRITICAL MASS.
liam2015's Destructoid Blog
I giggle with excitement everytime I think sbout gta4, and how close it is from release.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
I have alot of blogs that just aren't "live" because I haven't had a chance to post them. More coming later today...

Thanks guys!
weedgan's Destructoid Blog
Also, I cant force myself to play lost odessy.

I rented it, and saw that it has four disc and kinda just went,

Shit...

I don't have the patience, but the dream sequences are actually pretty emotional, really.

@weedgan

LO is damn good. I'm loving the story so far but those dreams sequences..I skip them now. I'll read them all when I beat the game. But they are fucking emotional.

Also, what Jack said.
SuitcoatAvenger's Destructoid Blog
I can't decide if I like the Iron Man demo or not. Controls seem a little squirrelly for my tastes, plus the repulsors seem a bit "pew pew". Still, Downey's VO work was really impressive. For once, a Hollywood star doing voicework seems to actually be into the game.

Re: MK v.s. DC, I feel like this could possibly be the Street Fighter: The Movie of videogames; so stupid it's awesome. Bo' Rai Cho v.s. Aquaman? Sure. Let's do it.
BigPopaGamer's Destructoid Blog
I've lost interest in LO. I'm hoping to get DMC 4 and Timeshift from gamefly today, but I'm still cancelling my membership after the first month.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
I'm getting moar and moar excited about GTA IV, and trying to get back into LO. I'll tiny type due to spoilers, but can anyone help me figure out where I need to go?

I just got dude's ship, I'm on the fourth disk, I just escaped with said ship...and put it down for awhile. Where do I go? I'm stuck in the water in the southern hemisphere...
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
This should be in the forums.

I kid, glad to see you post something again Snaileb. But Powerstone 2 is megacool. The stages are bigger, better and more chaotic and Psychic Force 2012 take on fighting, with flying around blasting each other with projectiles while not deep is still fun.

Otherwise good post. Carry on.
Danmartigan's Destructoid Blog
Yes, it is a good time indeed. If you ever need a squad in R6V2, look up squirrel or myself. We love the rainbows.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Bo' Rai Cho v.s. Aquaman! Hahaha I will be there.

I know ALOT of people picked up LO, but I also know more than half of them never finished it. That's why Im using Gamefly.. if it gets too emo it's gone. Then again I AM playing Pokemon.

Big Popa : DMC4 will gobble up alot of time. I don't think Timeshift was a good choice as a farewell rental though. It'll be better than Dark Sector though.

Is GTA 16 player Deathmatch? 2 player Co-op? I haven't seen or heard ANYTHING on it to surprise myself but now it's getting to me. Can anyone suggest anything that'll blow my freaking mind?
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Double post for Yojimbo and Dan/Squirrel.

I knew I would make some enemies with the failed Dreamcast games list. Maybe if I played them in their prime, but they haven't aged well. Powerstone 2.. well, the levels were terrible I thought. I played the first one, even when it debuted, and it's still fantastic. Hearing the japanese guy with broken english never gets old, and when I didn't hear him I was offended.

"Chawenge One, Are Roo Readry?"

Rainbow Six Vegas 2, apart from Gears, is what I've been playing the most on my 360. So far I've just been playing Turrist hunt. If you guys will have me later today (or tonight if you're UK) then I'll be there.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Your hate for Powerstone 2 and Psychic Force makes me sad inside
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Dark Sector wasn't that bad.
NotAZombie's Destructoid Blog
Why the hate on Powerstone 2? That game was really fun...
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
They also took away alot of the weapons and characters I liked in Powerstone 1. I don't know, alot of stuff that were added I liked, and everything they took away made me turn it off.
MrJunko's Destructoid Blog
Powerstone 2, while larger and packed with jaw dropping levels, takes away from the close combat that Powerstone 1 was. It looks like they focused more on the levels rather than the gameplay.
DaedHead8's Destructoid Blog
I remember when Illbleed was in development I was planning on buying a DC just so I could play it. Then it came out and got a bunch of negative reviews so I skipped it and the DC until about 2 years later. Yep, Illbleed sucks. I still love my DC though.

The games I'm currently playing are Valkyrie Profile on PSP and Team Fortress 2 on PC, which I just downloaded 2 days ago and is miles better than the 360 version.
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Don't play Powerstone 2?

...
...
...

We are mortal enemies from this day forth.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Cow : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Can't our pillow talk just involve the original Powerstone? YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BRING SOMETHING NEW TO THE BEDROOM!!!
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
I came to chide you for dissing Power Stone 2, but everyone else has. So I'll ask if you played Ooga Booga with friends while getting drunk. If not, you're doing it wrong. I'm pretty sure it's in the instruction manual.


I am so downloading RCR after work. I can't wait!
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
I has Psychic Force 2, is that the same as 2012? Yes it's cheesy but the anime cut scenes and weird ass fly around box style fight ring was fun :D

Plus PINK HAIR :D
Elitechief27's Destructoid Blog
I should hopefully be getting GTA IV the day it comes out(assuming amazon doesn't let me down). I can't wait to try out the MP, even though I heard from Workman it wasn't that great.
PrinceofCannedPeaches's Destructoid Blog
Generic post title, WIN!
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
But, but Powerstone 2 is incredibly fun...
MissHinasaki's Destructoid Blog
Powerstone 2 is the shit! It's twenty times more ADD than Smash Brothers and in my opinion more fun.
