What are you playing, stupid?

[max_cady]

Played a bit of Rayman Origins. Finished up the entire The Walking Dead adventure game.

What you think of The Walking Dead? I'm in episode 2.

Also playing Remember Me.

[max_cady]

Honestly I did enjoy a good portion of the game. It was arguably a good Point 'n' Click Adventure game because the puzzles didn't impeed the action and did not stall you for long periods of time, I also dug the dialogue options and how characters react accordingly to what you say and do.

That being said, the trade-off of making the game a little more like an interactive episodic TV show is that by the 4th episode I was already starting to experience some fatigue (much like Asura's Wrath) with just watching the cutscenes and sometimes not even noticing that I had to make a choice.

I'm on episode 4 of the Walking Dead. Damn, each episode is getting better and better. Tho the whole child killing thing has happen twice already. ... I get it, its a taboo subject.

Just finished Shining Force 2 and went on to Shining Force CD.

You should totally do a Crazy Taxi scene for your next movie.

Saint's Row 2 yet again.

I've also started to play Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes and well... It's not a bad game. Gameplay is fine and dandy, but whoever was in charge of presentation... geesh, the Xbox 360 version quite frankly looks like a Playstation 2 title, it's just that hideous. The plot is your typical Clone Wars early Season 1-Season 2 stuff, which serves as a time capsule of sorts.

Remember when Ahsoka Tano was just a smart mouthed kid? Yeah, that Ahsoka Tano... Nevertheless, it's fun to jump in this. The missions are very short, they don't take that much time, you never actually die since the characters respawn instantely. Worth the budget price...

LOL! I'd be down for that. I'm thinking of doing another one for Halloween. Until then, it's CA-RAAAA-ZY TAXI! Let's have some fuuun! Gonna' move onto Crazy Taxi 2 in a bit. Haven't played it in ages. That and Zombie Revenge.

You probably shouldn't thank me, given what you'll have to play on it. (laughs maniacally)

Isn't there a secret free camera mode in Crazy Taxi? You plug in a second controller or something?

I never heard that. I'll have to give it a try if I should happen to find a second controller.

[Barry the Nomad]

Oh yeah, there are a ton of secrets in Crazy Taxi! Here's the camera one:

Plug a controller into controller port 3, then press the Start button on that controller after you started a game in Original or Arcade mode. You can toggle to a first-person view by pressing B (switch back to normal view with A), get an alternate viewing angle with Y, or tap X five times to bring up a speedometer display.

edit: Good news AJ! Seems it works with one controller:

Start a game and during the game (do not pause) put a controller in Controller Port C or if you have only one controller you can take that out and move it to Port C, then Press Start on that controller now if you:
Press X five times you will get your MPH.
Press B and you'll get an Inside The Car View.
Press Y you will get a Kick Ass Cinematic View!
Press A to go back to your normal view.

God Damn it, Saint's Row 2! You are like crack cocaine to me!

[Barry the Nomad]

Picked up three games today and gave them a try:

Real Sound by the late great Kenji Eno for the Saturn. Can't really play it, since I don't speak Japanese. But I did pop the disc in and give the game a listen (the game was made for the blind, so no visuals at all. Not even intro credits or logos). Very relaxing stuff! Story is about two school kids who fall in love. Lots of bird sounds and people talking. Game itself came with photos of cards and a packet of seeds.

Sports Jam for Dreamcast. Developed by WOW Entertainment but released in the US by Agetec. Why the heck didn't SEGA publish their own game for the Dreamcast??? Fun little arcade-style mini game title, very much reminds me of the Mario & Sonic games. Almost wonder if this is where the M&S team got their ideas from.

Panic! from Data East for the SEGA CD. Like Real Sound, it's not really a game. I mean, you imput stuff on the controller, but its not a game in a traditional sense. Move from scene to scene, push buttons, see what happens. Really weird, but entertaining, game. Reminded me of WarioWare in terms of visuals and humor.
