The New Video Game Recommendation Thread v2.0

[merman]

Only 2 recommendations for the playstation? Pfft.

Aye, it is sad, so I shall add 2 more:

Playstation:
Soul Edge/Calibre (Still think the best sword fighter, very well balanced, and I feel better than Tekken as a game)
Vagrants Story (You've not played this rpg? You missed out! Liked it better than Final Fantasy (n), excellent weapons system)

If you are going to nominate it, get the name right. It's Soul Blade on PS1 in Europe, thanks to someone apparently trademarking the name edge...

For real?

Shouldn't that be "the word 'edge' used in any names"?

Never seen this thread before .. however my 2 cents .. and it's going to be PS2 ..

Alone in the dark the ultimate nightmare .. been playing this .. been swearing like mad only at ONE thing .. the save
mechanism .. now I have to step back and re-do all a quite tedious bit because I wasted one save I absolutely need now
and I can't get another one

Of course ICO as well never loved a game so much like that one ( apart from SG and GRR of course )

Recently I am also playing "Ratchet and Clank a crack in time" thing .. very mixed feelings about it, I am really playing it
mostly "because I want to see how that story ends" .. but .. in a way "it's boring" .. a bit of this, a bit of the clock, a
bit of this, a bit of the clock .. all the rest "stuff already seen over and over in all the previous ones" it really goes like
"you could have invented something a bit different" .. nice the time thing in the clock but still ..

Xbox .. the only time I switched it on was god .. can't even remember, it's been more used as a DVD player than a
console .. PS3 of course Wipeout is super lush .. Katamari is good .. and .. hum ..

Well .. hum ..

I am waiting for HL3 let's say so ..

If you've got a platform capable of playing it, get Rock Band 3. It's good.

Oh yes indeedy. I'm pretty hopeless with these sort of games, but I've already blown pretty much all my MS points on extra songs, and we're enjoying some quality family gaming time with it. It's a shame that none of us can play the drums to save our lives (so we leave them turned off and put the 3-year old on a stool in front of them - it keeps her happy).

D2K - Donkey Kong 2 - Jumpman Returns (MAME rom dkongx or dkongx11).

Just completed Sphinx and the cursed mummy, an enjoyable Zelda-copy from 2003. Took me about 20 hrs. Recommended for all you zelda-fans out there.

Started playing Sniper Elite 2.... nice enough game on the P.C. Sadly it offers little in the way of innovation, with the game play copied from several previous games, most notable being Splinter Cell. The movement can get annoying as far to easily get hooked on objects when moving around. The take cover and shoot mechanic is not as good as other games as well (deus ex human revolution) but It does offer some graphic visualisations on bullet hits, but they are purely eye candy of the gruesome kind.

Actually Splinter Cell is a better game, but since I like the WWII theme and style I may stick with it.

I used to love playing co-op CJ's Elephant Antics on the C64.

THIS Game Gear version actually isn't bad at all.

Really liking Soulless. Bought me the digital download version (you get a .tap and a .d64 file).

I've been playing it on the Vice emulator on the PC - might give a whirl on Frodo on the Wii HBC later.

It's a nice collect-'em-up. Try the .tap version - it has an excellent loading tune!

PEGGLE. Available on almost everything.
