Pirates! is pretty cool. Some new stuff and slightly better graphics. I still prefer my NES version though. And I can't learn the damn dancing. Plus my comp gets laggy in dancing scenes for some reason.

I picked up the xbox version for 10 bucks last December at the TRU year-end blowout sale. I haven't played it much beyond just testing it to see if it works. Good to know that it's a good game.

I'm working my way through Metal Gear Solid 2 right now.  I beat Twin Snakes a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd keep going on that path.

Tested my copy of The Bard's Tale for Xbox. Seems like a fun game, good script. Walked thru Den's new Far Cry maps (Sniperland and Watch Your Step).

Den, there's an island in the middle of Sniperland that doesn't seem reachable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find a ladder or a pathway. Watch Your Step is hilarious...great idea! I found that spot where you fall but don't die. The dense foliage definitely adds to the theme.

Played Mortal Kombat 3 for SNES yesterday.
I think my cart is fucked.
I tried on medium.
Lost in first fight
Tried on very easy.
Lost in first fight
tried on very hard
Lost in first fight

There was no difference between any of the difficulty levels.
I played for about 30 mins though and started progressing further after figuring out the AI moves. I never played SNES MK much so i have to learn the specials still.
I knew Cyraxs Net move, Nightwolfs Energy Arrow and Strykers Long Range Grenade though
Then i played for about an hour vs. my cuz and our friend.
I pwned them hard.

Then played a very little bit of Donkey Kong Country 2.

Playing some R-Types for PS right now.

God do i love the original R-Type

[phoenix1967]

Soul Calibur 3. They sure packed in a lot of stuff to do in this game!

And more poker online.

That game is horribly broken too.
Lots of unintentional infinate combos.
Well if your a disgustingly hardcore player like the kids from STCC game club anyways.

In anycase it looked really good. Glad to hear something good about it from someone who isn't WAY to into the competition aspect of it.

I am addicted to Zelderex again.
I took a break for what nearly a year now?
After just a few hours of playing i have 72 attackes all of which were sucesfull.
Netting me 900$s per attack.

Using that money i maxed out my oil facility and bought Oil Workers.
Now every 20 mins i get 11 oil.(Which is 2 gallons of gas with my upgraded conversion rate)
Every hour i will have enough fuel to make another attack for 900$s
Buy another oil worker for 750$s

And since i just joined i can't bve attacked till around 11pm eastern tomorrow.
So i still have the ability to get nealy 70,000 again tomorrow before i can even be touched again
Assuming i plan my stuff out right...

I love this game.
It took over for my previous OutWar adiction.
Only this game is way better than OutWar was.

Went to that Zelderex site. Looks GOOD! I was surprised to see that they already have clans...
