Minesweeper.

I'm getting pretty good at Intermediate, but have yet to win a single game on Expert. Closest I got was 3 mines left.

I beat expert once upon a time. I've since gotten rid of that computer, and at some point recently I was trying to at least get one win, and I just have not been able to do. It is eating me up inside. I've started taking medication to sleep. I can sleep now, but still the dreams come...

But yeah, expert is horrendously difficult, which I didn't notice the first time I beat it. I must have gotten awfully lucky. Stupid minesweeper.

I almost always have to resort to guessing.

Same here. Maybe I was a bit more clever before. Or at least less lazy.

The Space Game. Mine the asteroids before the pirates come and try to take your loot. Nice flash game.

Grr, someone just told me the ending of Mass Effect.

Oh well, I shall go on regardless.

The Legend of Zelda III - A Link to The Past
The Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap

Spoiler

Emulators are fun, though I own the original versions.

Apert from that I played HL2 again.

And Mahjong - so addicting ....

Started Too Human. The combat system is imprecise but pleasantly fluid. The camera is a pain. The voice acting gave me a "that can't be..." moment when I thought (correctly) the main character sounded like Crispin Freeman (a reasonably respected anime voice actor).

Dropped Too Human. It's just not very good. Shame.

To help with feeling down at the moment, I went out and bought Oblivion for my 360 (at long last). No more laptop-based niggles with this game!

- Madden '07 (got it as a gift this christmas)...I was on a Madden boycott cause I liked ESPN...but it's growing on me

- Bought my son Return of the King so we could play a beat-em-up together...fun, fun, but freaking harddddd!

- About to give Panzer Dragoon Orta a try...though I usually don't like games with this kind of artistic feel...

You know, I haven't been able to get into the Madden series since 96 or 97. I don't think I'm enough of a football nut to enjoy it

My all time favorite beat-em-up

I felt exactly the same, the game is really deep...but they improved the running game enough for me to get into it finally...

It's absolutely fantastic: best production value I've ever seen in a game...but it's the most difficult game I've ever played, there's some camera issues, and while it's really, really fun...I dunno, it doesn't quite capture Double Dragon, TNMT Arcade, NARC Arcade, Simpsons Arcade, Golden Axe levels of fun - but maybe that's cause I'm not fourteen any more?...

Still playing Mother 3. Best story of a game I've ever seen (and best-executed), along with Metal Gear Solid 3.

Peggle Deluxe on XBox Live.

Stupidly addictive game, but it helps that I can play it with my wife

hmmm...looks pretty interesting...nominated for the 11th Ann. Interactive Game Awards for Best Downloadable Game 2007...

...I picked up Ultra Bust-A-Move for Xbox ($3), thinking that would satiate my simple-stupid puzzler thirst (which comes on at random)...but it's far too easy...

God of War 2, for the second time (I love these games!).

I'm planning on playing Resident Evil 4 again, after that.

Post by **Worm of Despite** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:33 pm

Still loving EarthBound 2. I'm debating whether it's superior to Chrono Trigger. The story is certainly affecting me more, and the graphics are stunning and deliberately simple. Everything about it is just charming to a therapeutic level; it demands I finish it before playing anything else, and I'm taking my time on this one. Also: a few minutes ago my shipment of Pokemon Platinum came in the mail, the first Pokemon I've played since Red. Should be a blast.

Company of Heroes demo...

...OMG, this is the greatest things since the pogo-stick!!!

...I've played the skirmish 15 times already and I'm still going back for more- I mean, the demo?! How good is the rest of the game?

"It comes in pints?" ...

The game is wonderful. The level where you have to defend a town against the German army for fifteen minutes is pure bliss, especially when they start hitting you with artillery.
