playing From Dust. it's a really cool lemmings inspired game where you move elements of an environment to get your villagers to build towns and discover things

This game sounds kind of interesting but I've heard the PC port is terrible. What are you playing it on?

PS3. it's the kind of game where a controller would make you feel more involved with the plot. for me, a mouse an keyboard are too disconnecting.

Cheers, I might try this with a gamepad then.

Managed to get all the endings in Muramasa. I had heard that Grim Grimoire (by the same studio) was downloadable on PSN, and I wanted to try that next, but I could not find it. =(

EDIT: Ah ha, it was hidden! There's a new PS2 Classics section under Only on PSN, and those games aren't listed under View All by Title for some reason.

I know I'm several years late to the party, but Uplink is pretty awesome.

i was TRYING to play minecraft, and lindsay, the bad luck charm of video games, started talking to me. all of a sudden, i get attacked by four spiders simultaneously, and then blown up by a creeper. lost all my good gear and items, and quit out of frustration.

I borrow Motorstorm: Pacific Rift from a friend, and then proceeded to play it with a different friend all split screen like. It was fun. But not because it was good, but because we made fun of how terrible it is. Seriously, why the hell do we crash so much? We both were a bit rusty at racing games, and we did eventually get the hang of it, but jesus christ you crash in to the littlest things. It's damn near unplayable on some tracks...

So I tried out Minecraft a couple days ago... It wasn't for me.

[Vicious Parker]

Though I fully acknowledge that Minecraft isn't for everyone, I can't help but ask the standard, "why?"

[lazlo falconi]

Well, I played both the free-build game and the survival game, and I thought I wouldn't much care for the survival type thing and oh boy was I right. But first, the free-build. I played through that for just a little while and I did like exploring the world, I thought it was pretty neat, and since I had installed a nice-looking texture pack the world was very good looking--Even with its low resolution. I explored some caves and stuff but I realized that what notch said about it was true, and I'd probably never have anyone to play with. Well that's no fun.

So I tried out the survival thing. And I actually went on your server to sort of dick around (By the way, very impressive stuff) and it just took too long. It took forever to get any sort of resources, and on several occasions I drowned because the game wouldn't let me swim back up. Death doesn't really suit a building game. I didn't build anything but I couldn't help feeling like I'd be very upset to get on one day and find that a bunch of monsters had come by and tore up my creations. It's like coding trolls into your game.

I also didn't like the whole day/night dynamic. I mean this game is supposed to be about building, right? But I have to spend have the time waiting for daylight so I can see what I'm doing. I guess I just got spoiled because I had a couple Lego games way back in the day (Before any of that Star Wars or Indiana Jones crap) that were purely about building. I understand why notch put all of that in there, but it just isn't for me.

the blank directionless world is a turnoff for me too. im the only person alive, and the world is my canvas, now what?

been playing nba jam on fire edition. lindsay is actually better than me at this. she makes all the three point shots

today i blew through the Honest Hearts dlc of fallout new vegas. i was really dissappointed because it was very short, and the overall feel of it was very narrow. you help a tribe fight off another tribe in a radiation free national park. there's three story quests to it, and all are either fetch quests, or blast your way over there type quests. they were very easy, and even at level 8, i was overpowered. not worth it at all. Dead Money on the other hand, which i played right when it came out, was a very interesting side-step. it experiments with a lot different of a style as the main game, which makes it a worthwhile play. i still havent decided on lonesome road and old world blues, especially since i was so turned off by honest hearts.

Skylanders

I had no idea how cheesy the trailer was. Honest. I still enjoy the game. (Mostly because the main bad guy is voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz aka Invader Zim!)

Got Skyward Sword~

Buuut Skyrim is still taking up all my time, so I'm not sure how soon I'll get around to Zelda.

[Stars]

Took a little break from Skyrim to give Skyward Sword a try. I just finished the first temple, and I'm quite liking it so far.

[Icey-kun]

I am also playing Skyward Sword and I find the game to be awesome for damn sure~

Sideway New York. you play as a graffiti tag and you can only move on walls and other upright surfaces when the perspective allows. it's frustrating, but a fun distraction.

DEFCON

[Kamau]

Ys: Seven!

Infinitely more enjoyable after I figured out how to speed up conversations. :)

[Monkeydog]

Epic Astro Story.

It is probably my favorite Kairosoft game since Game Dev Story. Sooo good.

[lazlo falconi]

Oops, started a new game on CivIV. ~<3

[Vicious Parker]

Good plan. In fact, I've been craving some civ4 action. Or I might just pick up cheap alpha centauri and play that...

[lazlo falconi]

Maybe we'll have to invite some of you guys some time.
