What are you playing now?

Shakey · #1 10-15-01, 08:38 AM

Okay. I know this isn't 80's related, but I figure we're all gamers (of varying intensity) here. So what games are playing now or have played recently?

I just finished two. Max Payne and Red Faction. Max Payne is incredible. Basically you are a cop in New York out for revenge and can pull stunts of like you were Neo from the Matrix. Very sweet game.

Red Faction is just another shooter (set on Mars this time). It's fun, but not ground breaking. Worth the money though if you are thinking about it.

Well. What about it? Played anything recently you would recommend?

Nothing much for me....my last conquests were the Oracle series. Since then, I've only played a couple MAME roms when I've gotten the chance...Operation Thunderbolt (anti-terrorism game

) and Forgotten Worlds.

Still enjoying BG II. Third time around. LOL

Flix · #4 10-15-01, 12:58 PM

I am playing the three Gamecube titles, Max Payne on the PC and Madden 2002 on PS2.

Max Payne is awesome. The whole "matrix" bullet-mode is awesome. By far the best game I have played on PC for a loooong time.

Ted Nugent · #5 10-15-01, 03:56 PM

Too many to list.

I'm thinking about buying Max Payne, I've played the demo.

Yes! Yes it is!!! Max Payne is definitely a keeper. I plan on letting that sit just long enough to forget a few things and then playing it again. The "Bullet-Time" mode is so sweet...

I'm replaying Zelda:Orcarania of time, for the 8th time.Also still trying to beat Oracle of Time, which i got at the begging of the year.I feel pathetic stuck at the water temple level. I even bought a strategy guide and couldn't beat it.

Oh and finishing Majoras Mask which i started around November of last year.I've savored that game.

I guess what I play you can't really say is in the league with gamers. My husband playes all the Tom Clancy games and Unreal tournament on Mplayer. I love the Sims - now I've got to get the hotdate one LOL. I spend most of my time building the houses decorating - cheating on the money and then I play God LOL. My other favorite is Rollercoaster Tycoon I can eat up hours on that game. Bought Grim Fandango - never made it past the first dead guy

Has anyone played Messiah? Is it any good? My hubby's friend just gave it to us and I wasn't to sure whether or not I'd like it.

PJ my son is a total FF fan

He finished 9 in no time flat. 7 was his favorite though.

DanAria · #10 10-24-01, 12:21 PM

Zel, I'm also a fan of roller coaster tycoon.Although I'm not that good usually they are all lost and complain.I also like final fantasy, mainly ff8, and the movie which came out yesterday!Did he like ff8?

Shakey · #11 10-25-01, 08:55 AM

I tried FF, but there just wasn't enough action for me. I'm the kind of person that needs to go full-tilt (hyper-active, so they used to tell me). My niece loves The Sims though. She can sit and play that thing for hours just building houses and stuff. It doesn't matter what you play, as long as you play. A "Gamer" isn't defined by any specific set of criteria. If you play games, you're a GAMER.

Poison PJ · #12 10-25-01, 10:26 AM

and then there's the hardcore gamers, such as myself who adore everything from the game, including the artwork, fan artwork, music & fan remixes, etc, etc

Poison PJ · #13 10-27-01, 10:01 PM

Today I'm Playing
TMNT 1 & 2
Street Fighter 1
Star Wars The Orgininal Arcade Game
Ghost Busters
Robocop
Journey Escape
Contra
& Super Contra

If you guys are playing MaxPayne you must have a kick ass system. My husband showed me the demo the other day and it was really cool but he said to get the most out of it he'd have to upgrade again (is this a ploy for me to fork out cash for the 2 gig processor LOL).

wavemaster · #15 10-29-01, 06:07 AM

I finally found the third part of Command&Conquer - Tiberian Sun! Wohooo...*LOL*
Guess that will keep me busy for the next days when I´m not online (and posting...).

And, the C&C mission disk 'Yuris Revenge' is also out...

My isn't to shabby. Built it myself with gaming in mind.

Max Payne is an incredible game though.

I just started playing "Project Eden". It's kind of an actoin/adventure deal. By the same people that gave us "Tomb Raider". Great graphics.

pamela* · #17 10-30-01, 01:40 AM

Not playing anything at the moment. Was recently playing GIANTS C.K. and Torment.. but I got stuck on Torment and haven't gone back.

Shakey · #18 10-30-01, 10:52 AM

Hey, Pamela. Welcome to the gaming arena.

How is Giants? Thought about giving it a try, but it looks like it may be a HUGE time killer.

pamela* · #19 10-30-01, 02:51 PM

Well I am not a huge gamer or anything.. but it can definitely be a huge time killer, and the graphics are great. I play multiplayer at Gamespy, and that's pretty fun, but I haven't played single player yet.. I've heard it's good though. The storyline is pretty funny in the single player game and the grandfather smartie is awesome (hilarious). You should give it a go. You do have a good system though right? You're gonna need it.

Let me know what you think.

VinceKM · #20 10-30-01, 03:55 PM

I recently finished Max Payne and echo everyone else in that it is a great game.

Just finished Soldier of Fortune which was a fun but simple first person shooter... quite violent too.

Began playing Kiss: Psycho Circus.... not bad, but nothing great.

Just bought a bunch of games from someone and looking forward to getting my hands on those....
