The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Best game ever. It's on XBLA. Get that shit, son.

I got about 5 levels into Bioshock and then lost interest because of Tales of Vesperia. I think I might trade it in tomorrow and get the new Bionic Commando game. The multiplayer demo was badass. I want to commando some shit with my bionic.

just finished the sorrow on mgs3-- the bosses in this game rule so hard but, while i know it's a metal gear game, the fuckin cut scenes are just out of hand in terms of length and frequency. it's really hard to get into a groove of playing the game when every five minutes you need to watch snake get awkwardly propositioned or someone peeing themselves (each of these things has happened more than once)

I did too but then my step-sister's boyfriend borrowed it and then moved without giving it back. Fucking faggot. It wasn't even a Greatest Hits edition either.

[skyclad]If anyone is interested in random JRPGs, I picked up Cross Edge for the PS3 last night. It has this really random mix of characters from different games as well as different developers. The battle system is sort of a mix between turn based and strategy. But the thing that makes the game amazing is the fact that if you're walking around on the world map, you just hit R1 and you go into a random battle. No more walking around like a jackass looking for random battles to level up. Plus, it's only $50[/skyclad]

My ex girlfriends little brother still has my non-greatest hits version of Xenogears. I feel your pain.

After that I stopped lending out cd's, games, books, whatthefuckever. They inevitably come back fucked up in some way or another. I don't care if you call me a dick. I don't care how long we've known each other. Fuck you, buy your own shit.

I picked up Gauntlet a couple weeks ago when it was $3 on Amazon's XBLA sale.

I did as well. Although, I'm only Silver Account, and at present I can't ever tell you in advance when I do play. I had a great run two weeks ago, but have yet to play a game since last Thursday, I think.

I'm an old man now, I'm going to need reviews for that one, if it's too "realistic" and hard like the first on easy settings I may have to pass or risk putting my wife through the TV.

I heard you can't even buy that game unless Gossip Girl mentions you, and says your hip enough.

UFC Undisputed is so addictive. I've been rocking it on X box live. Fortunately, unlike Fight Night 3, everybody is not a master yet. I've been able to school many people. For those of you who play xbox live Undisputed, what are your online player comments? Mine are, "Submission machine, Versatile, and Adapts to any situation".

I've learned the submissions pretty good. You simply need to have a player with semi decent submission offense, then you wait until your opponents stamina is all yellow (meaning they are gassed) and if you capitalize on timing, you can easily submit people in round 1.

Fight Night Round 4 demo out on the 360. It's exclusive to gold members right now.
