The first Goldeneye has a place in my heart and I didn't know there was a new version until a few days ago. I might have to pick it up.

I still break out the N64 every now and again to play it.

Not many games to break it out for. N64 sucked in my opinion. I only liked Goldeneye, Shadows of the Empire, and Mario 64. And WCW/NWO.

Mario Kart 64 was fun and I always liked Wave Runner for some odd reason. Perfect Dark was fun.

The first Turok wasn't bad. Conkers Bad Fur Day was awesome, Banjo Kazooie was great, Rogue Squadron ditto, there was a few decent titles to the N64.

Just walked thru Force Unleashed 2
On medium difficulty, while at work, total play time less than 6 hrs :td
Except for a couple of poorly timed jumps I think I was only killed twice.
Looks great but not worth the $60

Golden Eye and Perfect Dark are two of my favorite games EVER! Also played a good bit of Blitz and Mario Kart 64.

Was Rogue Squadron an N64 game? I thought it came out on the gamecube.


EDIT: You're right. It was a 64 game.:tu

Unfortunately, that game sucks. I was mildly amused by the Monkey Island cameo, but after I beat it, I sold it.

I've been rocking some BFBC2 Vietnam lately :tu

Wii Sports Resort table tennis rocks! I particularly love the way my moron Mii stands on one side of the table after a return, leaving the opponent wide open for a slam. Or when I work the computer Mii way out of position, and the Wii "misinterprets" my topspin slam as a nice soft lob. I just had to shut the Wii off to save the new TV from a Wii remote related injury.

LOL We end up playing this one a lot. It's just so d@mn frustrating and addictive at the same time.

My wife doesn't like to play with me. I'm a decent table tennis player IRL, and I don't think I'm capable of playing a shot without *some* spin. It's surprising how realistic the gameplay is with the Motion Plus.
So, I'm playing mostly single player, and I'm just about up to the champion. It's just annoying when your Mii does stupid sh!t. Or when the AI gives itself a break, like a weak return of a topspin slam that just catches the edge of the table and bounces away, unreturnable... :rolleyes:
Swordplay is the same way. I studied Japanese martial arts for years, and the mechanics are very true to shinai sparring. Until you get up to the point where the AI can instantaneously change the angle of its sword 180 degrees... :r

Just Dance 2. Good game to play with the kids. Gives you a pretty good workout too.

Running through Borderlands GOTY lately. I've got such a backlog from the Steam Christmas sale that I shouldn't have to buy a game until Elder Scrolls V.

My girlfriend goes "Hey do you want my PS3, I never seem to use it and I'm sure you could get much more out of it than I could"

My life is awesome sometimes.

Playing Uncharted 1, and loving every minute of it.

Sounds like a keeper to me. My non-gamer fiancee bought us a PS3 a few years back for Blu-ray purposes because she knew I wanted one. I barely play it anymore because I'm distracted by my Steam backlog.

I absolutely can't wait til Skyrim comes out. Was a huge fan of the last two Elder Scrolls titles...even with the horrible loading times of Morrowind.

Change of pace....picked up Animal Crossing City Folk on the Wii for my 8 year old daughter while I was off last week. GREAT family game if you have little ones. For us bigger kids it looks like it has a lot of unlockables/collectables so I can at least keep entertained when we take turns and she wants to watch me play for awhile. :tu

Uncharted 2 was excellent :tu

Dead Space 2 is just as awesome as the first one. If you like survival/horror games give it a look ;)

I was so lost when I played that game as a kid. It was the days before Prima guides and internet walkthroughs. I don't miss those days!

I guess I suck. I played Black Ops during the double XP weekend and went from level one to level 10 in about three hours. My 8 yr old went from 2-10 in about 30 minutes.

Well, I've been meaning to replay FFX. I remember that game sooo clearly. Filling Yuna's sphere grid fully, getting the legendary weapon for each character...That game was my 6th grade jam!

I'm also considering grabbing the new Gran Turismo for PS3 as well.

And I'll be fine. I dislocated it back before the new year, and it isn't healing quite right. They'll move the shoulder into the right place and then sew it in place to make sure it doesn't slip out again in the future. I have 2 weeks (minimum) of healing, so I figure I'll have a solid 7-10 days where I'll feel like playing some games :)
