What are you playing right now?

[soloist]

Congratulations on acquiring both titles, Roemello! The jumpy sequence
that you are referring to is when the body slings from the ceiling? If
you got to this part already, did you know that when attemptin-
g to get Robbie, if you do not press the button displayed, t-
here is a penalty in the form of losing your arm followe-
d by the game over screen? It's interesting to view
and afterwards, you are returned to that exac-
t moment so that this time you can get it
done right? Interesting! Both NBA Liv-
e 09 and Fracture were available
in my area as of yesterday, b-
ut I have no interest in ei-
ther title. I'm not sure
what game I plan o-
n playing. Mayb-
e more of S-
tar Wars
Unlea-
she-
d?



(glutton for punishment here... laughs)

[Roemello]

Yup! That was the first one with the body flinging out the ceiling! And no I wasn't aware of that aftereffect! I Just pressed the button as I was told I never really got too much into past Silent Hill games, but this one so far is keeping me! So for me, it's that and Lego Batman... and also trying to get to some Eternal Sonata... highly neglected title of mine

[soloist]

Good luck with all three I say! NBA 2K 9 is supposed to be released
today (which is kind of late for the standards here considerin-
g how early Fracture, NBA Live 09 and an unofficial copy
of Saints Row 2 arrived), but no complaints here th-
ough. Being the glutton for punishment in this c-
ase that I am, I went back to Force Unleash-
ed on the Sith Master difficulty and this
setting is ROUGH!!! All that levelin-
g up I did on the Sith Lord setti-
ng is almost doubled in term-
s of need for progressing!
I'm only on Raxus Prim-
e (the 2nd level of
the Apprentic-
e), and I c-
annot d-
efe-
at Kaz-
dan Para-
tus (the Jed-
i in the mecha-
nical spider exo s-
uit of sorts). So aft-
er leveling up a bit m-
or, I'll take him on agai-
n. Leveling up takes a lon-
g time too! Whoa! Eternal S-
onata? Then again, I am not o-
ne to talk (laughs). Here's some
footage of Saints Row 2, and mor-
e can be found on Youtube actually!!




Saints Row 2: Stun gun fun!

[soloist]

I should be playing these, but
for now, I'm only Force U-
nlimited. I actually m-
ade some more pr-
ogress, though
it took a lo-
ng time.
I ma-
y
try
these
two at s-
ome point t-
oday I am hopi-
ng. Well, try more
of them since I did pl-
ay each for a little bit!!

Finally picked up Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles and Yggdra Union for PSP. The Gamestop guy had some left over YU Soundtracks and gave me one.

I also pre-ordered Eternal Poison (PS2,) Chrono Trigger (DS,) and Call of Duty: World at War Collector's Edition (360.) My GS didn't have their CT soundtracks yet, but they took my number. I hope they call me.

[soloist]

Congratulations on your gaming investments, Masa!
Let me know what you think of Castlevania a-
nd Yggdra Union, ok? If you never playe-
d Castlevania: Symphony of the Ni-
ght, it's available in there as
an unlockable... so is t-
he original Rondo
of Blood, but
I haven't
unlo-
cked it
as of yet t-
hough. Glad a-
m I that you wer-
e able to find the s-
oundtrack for Yggdra
Union, especially since I
mentioned it to you kind o-
f late. Thanks for the infor r-
egarding Eternal Poison. I com-
pleted Star Wars Force Unleashed
on Sith Master and I will say this: I N-
EVER WANT TO PLAY THAT SETTING A-
GAIN!!! Talk about mercilessly brutal! Ugh!

[Masamune]

Castlevania is ok so far. Yggdra Union had me groaning. Cards? Gah!

I'll post more tomorrow after work.

[soloist]

I thought you knew about Yggdra Union being a
card-based RPG. I did mention it a few ti-
mes on this board, though you may h-
ave missed the posts. Many apo-
logies. Castlevania is a bit o-
n the challenging side, is
it not? Hopefully, you
will unlock SOTN a-
nd will get to t-
ry that one
out eve-
ntual-
ly.



I
may
get Gul-
lty Gear 2 o-
n the 360, but I
need to learn more
about it before investi-
ng it in though. Maybe aft-
er Phily this weekend perhaps.

I'd like to try Force Unleashed for my Wii, but I'm not near a good game rental store, and I don't really want to dish out the money to buy it. I also want to try the next Tales of Symphonia game after it releases next month.

[Roemello]

I've been playing a lot more guitar hero lately II and III. Having a lot more fun with it and perfecting tons more songs! And with that, I'm gonna end up getting Rock Band 2 when the bu ndle comes out as well as GH world tour when that hits. Though in the case of the latter, just getting the guitar kit there... only got room for one complete set and Rock Band has a faaaaaaaaaaaaaar larger playlist and one I favor along with the first Rock Band I'll get once attaining all the instruments with RB2. Also still have Silent Hill and Lego Batman to trudge through... and am slowly

mes on this board, though you may h-
ave missed the posts.

I think I did overlook it. Castlevania is more challenging. I'm working on unlocking SOTN now. Today, I am going to pre-order Fallout 3 Collector's. I read about it in my brother's X-Box magazine awhile ago. You get:

* Fallout 3: From the creators of the award-winning Oblivion comes one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland. Prepare for the future.

* Vault Boy Bobblehead: Enjoy your very own Vault Boy with this collector’s item direct from Vault-Tec.

* The Art of Fallout 3: This hardcover book features nearly 100 pages of never-before seen concept art and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists.

* The Making of Fallout 3: Get an exclusive, inside look at Bethesda Game Studios and the team behind the game with this special DVD.

* Vault-Tec Lunch Box: The entire package comes in a fully customized metal lunchbox.

BTW, I'm also going to pre-order Persona 4 Social Link Pack from Amazon.

*Complete your Persona 4 music collection with this CD containing tracks not found on the CD packed with the game.

*100% XL cotton t-shirt featuring Persona Konohana Sakuya is exclusive to this package.

*The 2009 calendar has been exclusively designed for this pack.

*Exclusive 8 1/2 inch tall Teddie plush direct from the game.

Just beat Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (GCN), now moving on to Freedom Fighters (GCN).

[soloist]

Star Wars Force Unleashed for the Wii was supposed to excel in the
multiplayer department which is a feature that I would have lik-
ed to have been present in the 360 version. It's worth inve-
sting for that reason and for the story as well (not to m-
ention the use of force abilities via the Wii-mote).I
did not hear much of Tales, so good luck on tha-
t one Ninexpert. Tis grand that you're finally
getting better in Guitar Hero, Roemello!!
I still have not even really touched bo-
th titles (especially III which is not
even opened yet). Just remem-
ber with Rock Band 2 that t-
he instruments are not r-
eal, ok (laughs)? Reall-
y, because a few pe-
ople at work brok-
e their drum st-
icks already f-
or the first
Rock Ba-
nd. H-
avi-
ng all
of the tr-
acks from t-
he first game b-
eing playable for th-
e sequel helps as well, t-
hough trophies along with t-
hem would have been a great a-
ddition. Castlevania is indeed a gr-
eat challenge... moreso than the orig-
inal that I remember... or so it seems fr-
om what I've played of it so far. After unloc-
king Symphony of the Night, I have not even tr-
ied to progress in the main game, but eventually, I
will have to in order to unlock the original Rondo of Bl-
ood. I hope to try out these games at some point today!!




Dead Space (360) and Little Big Planet (PS3)!




Little Big Planet... the back




Dead Space... the back




This was only 5 dollars...

By the way, congratulations on your completing
of Gauntlet Dark Legacy good luck with F-
reedom Fighters, Kenseiden! I used t-
o own Freedom Fighters and wou-
ld not mind owning it again d-
ue to the strategic eleme-
nt of sending out unit-
s to attack or defe-
nd specified are-
as without be-
ing an RTS
title. I h-
ad the
PS2:

(version)

[soloist]

Made a bit more progress in Castlevania
Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP. I ha-
ve just unlocked the original Ron-
do of Blood and also managed
to unlock Maria in it as we-
ll. I believe that she sh-
ould now be a playa-
ble character in t-
his game, but
I have not
tried th-
is out
yet.



(found a few CD's in the game too...)
