[April] What are you playing?

[Jeremy Ackerman-Yost]

World of WarCraft

I will likely be playing that for the forseeable future. My fiancee and I are very, VERY hooked.

However, I did just pick up LEGO Star Wars: The Game. It rocks.

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.

Go buy Ico NOW. That was the best game I ever played on a PS2.

Of course, take my advice with a grain of salt, because I haven't played a great many PS2 games. Summoner was my 2nd favorite. Never got around to Kingdom Hearts, though I would love to at some point. I have heard incredible things about Katamari Damacy, but haven't played it yet.

thats odd. i seemed to beat it in that much time.

It's not that short, it just seems like it.

And does the game play in HD or widescreen mode?

According to the box there is a progressive scan mode.

Ooo. That's cool. Kinda like a beat it in a weekend thing?

Yep, took me about ten and a half hours, according to how the game tracks time, so you should half that on again for my total playing time, or maybe even double it.

So if you can dedicate most of the weekend to it you'd should be able to get through the whole thing.

Of course now I have JE waiting for me as well.

Bah, don't let that get in the way.

That sounds cool. I'm pretty busy this weekend and I have a little vacation time coming up in May (for Star Wars) so I may just hold off until then. Something to look forward to.

The Sims2. I know, I know, but I'm hooked on the darn thing.

Cranked up Civ3 the other day for a bit; kicked everyone's butt (on second lowest), then immediately got bored again.

Just got KOTOR, so I hope to have some time to try that out soon.

I REALLY want to try Jade Empire, but I don't have an xbox (and have a hard time justifrying one considering how much I spend on my pc). Anyone know if it's ever coming to PC?

All signs point to no.

Summoner was my 2nd favorite.

Wow! That really suprises me. I've heard nothing but bad things about Summoner, though I've never played it myself - have I been duped?

It necessitates a PS2 controller, so anyone who played it on the PC probably had issues. Also, it was the first console RPG I ever played that wasn't filled with impenetrably Japanese cultural elements and references. That helped my enjoyment enormously. Ultimately, I just liked the story. It was a change of pace from crappy Final Fantasy games (which have not been good since V for all I can tell (I never played VI)).

Would I rate it as high now? Possibly not. But the chain system of combat kept you engaged, the NPC AI was twice as good as NWN's, and the story was fun.
