[April] What are you playing?

I'm all over that advice, Welverin! Thanks!

I just got a PS2 at the beginning of the year. And I was without any kind of console system for many many years, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

That said, I'm currently playing Rygar. It's pretty fun. I just wish I had more time to play it.

I got kind of bored with Tony Hawk Pro Skate 4, but I still have a couple of goals to complete before I can unlock Daisy in that one. That's one hard game.

Xbox Only....

Phantom Dust**** -GET it!...19.99, a power building game-
Ghost Recon 2****
Halo 2**** *when I am in mood to destory people*
Will be cranking up the ESPN Baseball 2K5 soon.

No PC games since June of last year, that is when I got my Xbox.

UPDATE:The PC dryspell has broken, I just got my hands on Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory, followed by Jade Empire LE. Blast my PC is still loosing to the XB.

Might I suggest Beyond Good & Evil, I just talked a friend into getting it today, which was easy because Best Buy is selling the PS2 version for $10 (an absolute steal).

I'd also suggest Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, which you should be able to get for $20 pretty much anywhere.

I'd actually recommend THPS3, or Tony Hawk's Underground. THPS3 is a fair bit easier, I'd played the first three games completing just about everything in all three and I still found THPS4 rather difficult. THUG, alternatively, has multiple difficulty levels, which would allow you to choose the one that works for you.

A more appropriate difficulty might allow you to enjoy the games more.

No problem.

I'd bought a 3-pack of games at CostCo for $29.95. It had Rygar, I-Ninja (which I haven't even loaded yet), and Dark Legacy: Vampire Apocalypse, which I also haven't loaded yet. The latter got some pretty bad reviews, but I mainly bought it for Rygar, and the I-Ninja game got good reviews. I think they had a 3-pack that included that Beyond Good and Evil game. I might still get it one of these days.

I'd also suggest Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, which you should be able to get for $20 pretty much anywhere.

I wouldn't mind getting that one, too, but it still seems to be rather pricey. If for no other reason, it includes the original game, which I always thought was great.

I might still end up getting THPS3, and maybe even 2. I played THPS2 quite a while back on my parent's XBOX when I'd go down to visit. I really enjoyed that game.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Still playing Allegiance.

Just started playing Metroid 2. Friend let me borrow it a while ago but I never started it. Metroid 2 + 50" HDTV + progressive mode = schweet!!

I also just ordered Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil Expansion Pack. I really liked Doom 3 and RoE is more of the same....which is a good thing IMO!!

Still looking to pick up Half-Life 2 on the cheap. Found some decent prices on ebay but I'll probably wait until I finish these two.

Well, if the other games aren't so hot, BG&E is definitely worht picking up on it's own.

Not sure what your standards are, but the standard price for a new copy looks to be about $20, which is pretty low for a game. Oh, and make sure not to confuse Sands of Time for Warrior Within, which is still around $50.

Thanks for the recommendations.

No problem, I'll throw one more group of games out there, the Onimusha series. All three are in the $20 or less category (along with BG&E, I saw O2 for $10 at BB, and recently picked O3 up for $15 at EB).

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

Ooh ooh! I like making suggestions. You can get Katamari Damacy, both Viewtiful Joe games, the original Devil May Cry, and Virtua Fighter 4:Evolution for $20 or under each. Game Stop and Best Buy should be all you need. A used copy of Red Faction (not Red Faction 2 - I've heard that it's icky and has significantly cheesier un-real-world-sih weapons) should be really cheap, too. It's an excellent old fps. Jump on a chance to play Ico if you can find it.
