Started playing Escape Velocity: Nova

It's an addictive space adventure/RPG thingy that's completely awesome. You start out in a little shuttle and make your way up the chain by making munnies and upgrading/capturing ships. You can be a trader, a pirate, a soldier, you can simply do stupid shipping/transport missions, you can pick sides with like 6 factions, and so on and so forth in a huge galaxy. Freaking sweet.

^What platform?

^^PC

Playing Halo
I never did "finish" the game.
I gave up after my little bro ran out my ammo but picked it up for some quick play before work and have been doing pretty good even with my poor start of no grenades a 1 clip for my handgun and a 15 rounds for the shotty.

PSU

Blue Dragon

[phoenix1967]

Cap, what's your take on Blue Dragon? I liked the demo, but haven't picked it up yet because I got Bioshock instead.

Played around with the Forge on Halo 3 last night.

Xbox 360 demos.

Blazing Angels 2 - Meh

Skate - Completely different controls to Tony Hawk's. Hard to get used to but with time it could be good. For now I'll give it a Meh+

The Simpsons Game - I couldn't work out what I was supposed to be doing until a while later. It felt slow. Meh-

I played NBA 2k6 last night. In 48 minutes I got 1000 achievement points.

How about Conan or VF5? I've downloaded Conan but haven't tried it yet, and am about 40% through downloading VF5.

Anybody get Puzzle Quest?

Resident Evil on GameCube.

I kill the zombies, and they still get up and come after me.

More skate.

I finally turned "pro" and now I have sponsors for boards (Zero) and shoes (DC Shoes), spots in sponsor videos, photos in Thrasher magazine. Before you know it, I'll be taking first at the X-Games!

Just bought Warhawk for PS3 not too long ago. I haven't dived into it very much, but I have a feeling I will be hooked on it for a while. This is probably the best online shooter/actiony game I've played since Tribes 2.

Played around with the Forge on Halo 3 last night.

The game is much like the demo. I like the battle system, and the ability to choose different sub classes for your "shadow". I am only about 2 hours into it, and I would be further along if I didn't watch every cut-scene.

The voice acting is pretty good, and the look of the game is very nice. I have heard that the game is pretty linear, with really no sub plots. But overall, everybody I have talked to, has liked the game.

Resident Evil on GameCube.

I was going thru the same thing with the Flood on Halo.

Anyways beat it today. Ran around like a chicken with my hea cut off before racing to the end with the warthog.


I noticed there were quite a few times when it would cheat me on autosave/respawn points... could that mean a prob with my HD?!?!?!?(i will break down into tears...)

Might finish up Rouge Trooper now(only have 1 stage left i believe).
Or maybe i'll start DarkWatch/Futurama or Ress Evil 4(Wii)


Also played Animal Xing Wild World & Brain Age 2.

Lots of gaming today
