Reservoir Dogs and

both on Playstation 2

Reservoir Dogs is out in Asia!

I've been going over my old PSOne games recently. At the mooment I'm playing Crash Team Racing

WOW, I stopped playing my old ps on the day I bought PS2...
It's nice, remebering the good ol days

The cool thing about working at a videogame store is that you can pretty much try out any game you want. Here's one that's been taking up some time at work:



Best Splinter Cell yet. Has an almost 24: Season 3 feel to it (Jack Bauer goes under cover, breaks a terrorist out of prison.)

Yes, I'm planning on getting this one soon, I love the Splinter Cell games, I'm just finishing up Chaos Theory.

I just got Final Fantasy XII yesterday, great game, its a lot of work though, much more time consuming than 7 (the best of the series so far). Ive played a few hours, mostly running around figuring out whats going on but its really cool

I am waiting for Socom Combine Assault to come out. I am currently playing both Madden and Scarface on PS2.

Isn't this game exclusively multiplayer, or will it have single-player like the other SOCOM's? Because I thought I read somewhere that it will only be multiplayer this time around, which is a shame, since I don't play online and like the single-player mode.

I think that it is a single palyer game but will also have a 4 player on-line cooperative feature.

Okay, I'll have to check. But I loved the first three games, and can't wait if the next one is indeed SP as well.

Amazon and IGN (and everywhere else I've checked) says the next SOCOM supports 1-16 players...so I think its safe to assume it has a single player campaign.

Actually...after investigating further...I found that SONY released a single player demo of Combined Assault a month or so ago.

I never beat the 1st SOCOM...that stupid mission where you break the guy out of that prison...and then a helicopter comes in and just starts shooting anything that moves (or doesn't move for that matter!)

After tinkering with this game at work for a while...I finally caved in and bought it:



I was pretty skeptical about the whole "double agent" thing actually having an effect on gameplay, but it actually has a profound effect. Balancing your loyalties between Third Echelon and the terrorist group (JBA) is pretty tough. A lot of times, the terrorist leader will order you to kill someone...and then Lambert will come over the radio and tell you to protect that guy. What do you do? If you kill the guy...your trust level in the JBA increases, but the NSA will be none to pleased. If you protect the guy...the JBA may begin suspecting you...and you won't have access to certain equipment during missions (same goes for Third Echelon.)

Right now...I'm stuck on a hotel mission. No weapons...I don't even have my night-vision goggles!

I'll post more as I get further into the game.

Xbox 360 - Call of Duty 2

This game is so difficult...

I've also been playing this a lot lately:



I've unlocked everything. Now I'm working on the "GM of the Year" trophy in General Manager mode.

I love the new control scheme. Mapping the moves to the right analog stick was a great idea...and the new "Ultimate Control Moves" add a layer of depth to the game that's been lacking for a long time. Being able to smash your opponent's head into the ring steps and announce tables, picking them up in a vertical suplex, walking over to the ropes and dropping them on the ropes...there's so many great things you can do.

The commentary sucks...and I mean BAD. There are SO many glitches in the commentary. The commentators will start talking about a Superstar who isn't even in the match...and almost EVERY time I hit someone with a chair...J.R. says "There it is...the Stone Cold Stunner!" WTF?!

On more than one occasion...I've chokeslammed someone with Kane or Undertaker...and J.R. says "THE ATOMIC LEGDROP!"

As I'm sure you know XDCX there have been TONS of complaints about the bugs in that game...at one point i think there was even a lawsuit or a filing with the Better Business Bureau to have them recall the game or give everyone a refund. There are tons of problems with JR calling every move the Atomic Leg Drop and some wrong music I believe as well.

The game definitely shouldn't have been released as is. I don't really have any complaints about the actual gameplay...but the commentary is just downright horrible. I didn't think it would really bother me...I got a few laughs out of it for like the first hour. Then after that...it just became REALLY annoying...and worse still...it becomes distracting.

One other thing I forgot to mention. Sometimes during your ring entrance...it'll show Tony Chimel in the ring announcing...but it'll be Lilian Garcia's voice.

The game definitely could have used another couple of months in development. I have no idea how it passed the alpha and beta testing.

Currently playing, The godfather the games, both scarfaces, rocky balboa and hitman: blood money

Still CM 2006,the best football managing game on the PC..

Agreed.
