What are you playing now?

Damn, I wish Garry's Mod (aka GMod) didn't take so long to load. I realize that's partly my fault since I've added tons of extra content. However, that's the purpose of the program.

Of course... sometimes the load time is worth it. Where else can you have Samus Aran, Commander Shepard, Robocop, and Batman in a fight against a T-Rex in Best Buy?

I wasn't the biggest fan of the original "Uncharted" (mostly because it felt like a rehashed Tomb Raider plot stringed together with an endless series of annoying gun-fights,) but having just finished "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves," I'm willing to give the series a thumbs up. The story is a lot better written, with more twists, humor, and scripted action than the first, giving it an authentic movie feel. And the major action sequences - holy smokes, are they fun. I can't even begin to imagine the nightmare involved with creating the train sequences. I played it on easy, so I can't complain about the difficulty, but the developers deserve some thanks for including a lock-on feature so I'm not spending the whole game adjusting my aim and waiting for people to walk into my crosshairs. The game's definitely worth checking out.

I'm playing the 'New Super Mario Bros' on the Wii, but I'll only play with help (two or more players). I just don't have the patience to get through it by myself.

Also play-testing point-and-click remake of 'The Black Cauldron'.

O RLY?

With updated graphics?

I've heard the new SMB is really difficult. Just how tough is it? Maia and I like co-op games, but some games are simply too aggravating to play.

I have to imagine a remake would include updated graphics. Simply taking the original version and adding in a point-and-click interface seems silly if they don't update anything else.

Black Cauldron - No, graphics are not updated - ported over from the original. The emphasis is improving the playability of the game. Hopefully will be released in the next few weeks. The project is hosted over at http://www.sciprogramming.com

New SMB - it's so difficult that I don't have the patience to play it without team-play, which in my opinion makes it bearable (and fun). Infinite continues, one player dies in the level & comes back (within 30 secs or so) as long as the other player doesn't kick the bucket first. For casual gamers it's perfect - you can sit down, pass 4-5 levels and save (when you pass a castle level - just like in SMW).

Playability or not, it still seems odd to me that someone would update the game with a P&C interface and keep the original graphics.

Seems like a lesson in frustration to me. I think we'll hold off on this one (at least until the price goes WAY down at some point).

Ah, the testing is complete! Anyone interested just head on over a download a copy!

After owning it since the month that it was released, I finally 100% completed Majora's Mask.

The 11th Hour.

When I installed it on Dino, it would only run in black and white. I'm seeing it in colour for the first time now.
Talk about CHEESE! At least the black & white version looks slightly classy.
Not that I thought of it as a good game initially: that chase with cryptic clues was near impossible for me. And it has hiccups, and those cursed lengthy animations that kill games...

[audiodane]

Somehow I missed that this thread exists! I guess this is where I should have said that I finished KQIV (AGI) and am embarking on KQV ...

[BBP]

Got an error message when I was almost done with the beehive in 11th Hour and was chucked out of the game. Started again, completed Beehive, watched the miraculous plot twist, and was thrown out again.
Looked at the Official Strategy Guide, saw I still had Pente and the music room and 4 Across ahead, to be treated to a lame ending afterwards... chucked it off.

And now? Off to Shivers!

Awesome games! Takes a while to complete though, but that's part of the challenge .

Currently playing/recording Ecoquest 1.
