What are you playing right now?

Taking in the sights, eh? Quite majestic
I would think, and even moreso in y-
our case since your screen matc-
hes Smitty's ego (laughs)! I h-
ave actually been playing
an antiquated RTS/RPG
called Warlock for th-
e Gameboy Color!
Rather addicti-
ve! By the w-
ay, this it-
em shou-
ld help
me o-
ut!

I
hav-
e been
neglectin-
g my Wii sin-
ce battery prese-
rvation has been of
the highest priority re-
cenly, but with dual dock-
ing deck (which comes with r-
echargeable batteries), the Wii w-
ill once again be of esteemed position-
ing... until Shadowrun is released that is.

Before this night is

My hope is to give this a try, tho-
ugh I have been playing mor-
e Wii titles since obtaining
the recharging kit. Mos-
tly Elebits... and that
is one enjoyable ga-
me, but as with a
majority of the
existing Wii t-
itles, online
play woul-

I chose the PSP version...

I'm gonna end up getting that, but for XBLA

Right now for me though, I've been mainly toying with my Dynasty season in NBA Live '07 after putting it on the backburner since getting the game

I put together a hell of a squad which makes it fun to play

Also got Pinball FX for XBLA... very fun and well done if you like pinball

Post by **soloist** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 4:16 am

The last pinball games that I have played with
glee were Pokemon Pinball, Mario Pinball
and Flipnic! You simply MUST try ou-
t Flipnic on the PS2... it is a very
unique approach to standard
Pinball. It's almost like an
amusement park com-
bined with pinball.
The achieveme-
nt points on
XBLA ver-
sion for
Puzz-
le
Que-
st make-
s that vers-
ion of the gam-
e that much inter-
esting... but I really w-
anted a portable way to p-
lay this game, and the DS sty-
lus feels clumsy at times. That is
why I selected the PSP rendition. I a-
m really trying to get into Shadowrun
while getting Halo 3 beta time in since th-
e beta period will be done on Sunday I believe.

Here is Flipnic:

Some of the pinball games are among my favourites out there. Kirby's Pinball Land was amazing for its time, and still is a fun ride, Pokémon Pinball was also excellent, even if you're not a Pokémon fan (trust me; I'm not

) and moreso if you are, and Metriod Prime Pinball is another excellent merger of an existing series with beautifully handled pinball controls.

But if you want the grandmomma of pinball experiences, you've gotta try out Odama.

I've got to get back to that game.

Oh, as for my currently playing: Etrian Odyssey Currently attempting to plow through floor 5 without getting my head whacked off within the first few random encounters.

Post by **soloist** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 9:02 pm

I forgot to mention Odama! That game deserves
a sequel on the Wii, but because the compan-
y responsible disbanded and formed anot-
her company, highly doubtful I say th-
at a sequel will surface (Clover Stud-
ios used to be the company). I wa-
nted to invest in Metroid Pinba-
ll, but was looking for a bette-
r price. Good thing you are
progressing well in Etria-
n Odyssey, Nakor. I ne-
ed more time if I am
to get that far. Eit-
her that or redu-
ce my funding
toward new-
er titles, p-
erhaps!

By the way, are you
having difficulty
keeping up wi-
th the map?
Cartogra-
phy ski-
lls up
to p-
ar?

(use auto perhaps...?)

Post by **Nakor** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:10 pm

Auto for the floors yes, as for the rest of the map, once I learned you can draw the map while fighting random encounters, that saves some time. Just wander down the hall drawing only the important things until you're in a fight, give your characters their commands, and then fill in the map while they're beating away on your enemies.

Post by **soloist** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:26 am

Sounds like a plan, Nakor!
Time now to try out
this re-release
of the ori-
nal:

Tomb Raider

Post by **soloist** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:41 pm

The price and the fact that there
will be 5 games that I wish to
own for the system as of n-
ext week prompted me
to purchase a PS3 t-
oday! One may a-
rrive on Frida-
y if all goes
accordin-
g to m-

The box...

The system (not a good pic)...

Free Resistance here!

The wireless controller...

Baten Kaitos. I'm trying some new tactics for the assault on Cor Hydrae. I'm going to see if I can't acquire enough powerful Magnuses to make each of the six major battles go faster. I've actually managed to inflict over 10,000 points of damage with one character on an enemy.

Just got Guitar Hero II and having a blast with that thing

Gonna take a little getting used to the flow of it, but I'm gettin there! I haven't picked up a guitar in 16 years, so it's interesting!

Also picked up RE4 Wii Edition... I couldn't resist with the price tag and full wide screen support and the whole total control over the gun... and I loved the game, so I'll throw another $30 to it

Post by **KenseidenXL** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:37 pm

Have you bought the gun cradle for the Wiimote+Nunchuck?

Post by **Roemello** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:42 pm

Is that even out yet? I've only heard of prototypes mentioned, though that is something I'll be wanting to get for the full experience. Plus steadying a gun will be a lot easier than steadying the wiimote

What are you playing right now?

A QUESTION, NAKOR!

FOR $400 AND A FREE GAME, I HAD TO...
