Daggerfall.... again! I know, the dungeons in this game are so huge and chaotic it becomes tedious and tiring some times and the bugs can screw you when you least expect it.... but... that game is so addictive and the game world so ridiculously huge, the playing hours become days and then weeks so easily. I honestly challenge anybody to find a game with a bigger game world than Daggerfall.

I was going to replay the Wind Waker, but got bored after the first dungeon. So now my choice is to either replay FF9 or buy Okami for Wii.

I bought FF VI for the GBA and I'm replaying FF VII too.

Brahm: i saw the Okami trailer at IGN Wii and fell in love with the game. it looks simply stunning.

I know, it looks like an absolutely beautiful, stylish and awesome game. I've decided that tommorow, my beautiful day off (about damn time) will be spent going to ye olde video game shop to pick it up (and possibly No More Heroes as well) and then playing video games all day. Probably with beer. I'll post my thoughts when I'm a few hours into it.

Friend of mine got it for his GameCube back when it first came out. He said he loved it. I have always meant to go try it, just havnt got around to it yet.

Upped my streak record in CoD4 to 36, yesterday. I'm getting there.

The only reason I never bought it for the PS2 is because I knew it'd come out on the Wii.

Now the only reason I'll not buy it is lack of funds .

Truely an amazing game. Good length too, took me roughly 52 hours and I didn't even get all of the side questies.

Also for the Wii version, if you look closely at the case you can see the pics in the backround have an IGN watermark.. I hope someone got fired for that. I think I heard that if you get a case with the IGN watermark you can get in touch with Capcom and they will send you a new, nicer case of your choice, something like 3 new ones I think.

Too bad Clover Studios went under, they were a talented group.

Thanks for the heads up, TSM, though my case seems to be fine.

The game is very interesting so far, and I really hope that I have the foresight to never play it high, because that would be way too trippy.

I also got Scarface: The World is Yours, a pretty fun GTA style clone... More of an impulse buy due to being frustrated that I'm probably never going to get to play through GTA IV.

Ill bring my 360 to Montreal, and you can play GTA then.

I reinstalled Warcraft II: Battle.Net Edition on my computer. Even after 12 1/2 years (and two sequels), this game still rocks.

What a coincidence. I just started playing Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Still loving this game, although it gets very annoying at times. Warcraft 2 is a massive step up from its predecessor's game play mechanics.

Funnily, even though the Orcs are supposed to be the "bad guys", I always found them more fun to play than the Humans. Better dialogue, more attitude, better background music, etc.

Anyway, particularly with how busy I've been with school, etc., I've been mostly sticking to computer games lately as far as video games are concerned. I'm trying to decide whether to pick up Command And Conquer: Red Alert or Icewind Dale in a couple months. I think I'll probably go with Red Alert.

I've been playing the 3rd one recently . Need to get a copy of the 1at and 2nd ones, been years since I played them.

Icewind Dale is a terrific game, atleast the first one. Some people say it's shallower than Baldur's Gate, but it's not really, atleast not by much. It does have more battles though, which I think is a great thing, AD&D games should have way more fighting.

Ha, awesome. Though you really don't need to do that.

Anyway, Okami is awesome. The art style is great, and the game pretty much like Zelda, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. The wii-mote and the brush work very well together- unfortunately, combat kind of sucks with the wiimote being unresponsive. Another minor complaint is that the game has difficulty recognizing some of the brush moves- while making the sun always works, it can take 5 or 6 tries to make a tree bloom. But the game is also much funnier than I expected- I love how whenever one character gets into some long winded exposition, Ameratsu falls asleep.

It was more a joke than anything. I really wanted to see what your response would be. I still may bring my 360 to Montreal just because we will be there for 4 days and there will be a TV in our room. Drunken Call of Duty 4 is always fun.

i saw Civilization IV at a store today, 8 quid second hand. worth buying?

also i bought Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones for gamecube, £6.99 second hand. return it or hold on to it?

YES. But prepare to have no life.



Hold onto it. Its a good game- not as good as Sands of Time, but infinitely better than Warrior Withsuck.
