What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

**Janszoon** · 09-14-2009, 11:13 PM

I bought MadWorld and Elebits the other day. I'm loving MadWorld so far because, well, I'm a really visually oriented person and it's absolutely fantastic visually, but also because it one of those games you can pick up and have fun playing for a short amount of time if you want without feeling like you're missing out by not making some long commitment. Elebits I'm still not totally sold on, I like the concept but the execution isn't as fun as I was hoping. For one thing the controls are annoying as fuck and for another I really hate the time limits on the levels, it would've been way better without them or at least with much longer limits.

Madworld has a very Frank Miller-ish look which is all the rage these days. But it does have a very unique visual style for a game and it's one I certainly want to try out.

Yeah, Frank Miller plus a bit of Mike Mignola. Honestly the guy you control in MadWorld has such a similar look to Hellboy that it almost goes beyond homage and into rip off territory but it's still a great looking game. And it's really fun to play.

Yeah, I'm gonna check that one out sooner or later.

Anyway, it's the 10th anniversary of the Dreamcast, Sega should celebrate by... I dunno, rereleasing some of it's games for the next gen consoles? That would be killer.

I'll be parked in front of the TV for a good while as of tomorrow. I get to pick up my copy of NHL10 I pre-ordered a couple months back.

I thought Rinoa was pretty sweet for a CG chick at the time. Too bad your main guy Squall is a clueless tit. Still a great game, though, I thought!

The only reason I'm not playing 8 is because I bought it used on the first disc is screwed up. I barely get past the story line intro and it freezes. So I haven't experienced any of the gameplay from FF8

if I had a paladin, I would arena more but it's useless as a shadow priest so I don't even bother. I stick to pvp'ing in bgs with my welfare pvp gear.

This is my toon in raid gear.

What's the difficulty like on The Beatles Rock Band? I can't imagine it'd be too hard to play considering the simplicity of The Beatles songs to begin with...
