CoD4 MP (mostly for work, believe it or not)
spent a few hours on tf2, but that was only the one session.

spent most of my game time the last month playing old N64 stuff though.

the last few days has been metal gear solid 2 and armoured core, though.

28/06/2008 at 10:36 malkav11 says:

Three months? jeez, I can’t recall that far back.

But in no particular order, some things that I’m sure I’ve played:
Mass Effect (PC) (preordered, got it that weekend, beat it this past Sunday)
Sins of a Solar Empire
The World Ends With You (so awesome)
Phoenix Wright 3 (went back to it since it’s pretty inoffensive as a timekiller at work, this also encourages me not to use hints – they’re blocked on my work computer)
Earth Defense Force 2017. (Stupid fun in co-op.)
Grand Theft Auto IV
Assassin’s Creed (PC) (Flawed, but a lot of fun. Beat it. Loved the story.)
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men (PC) (Not as bad as it’s made out to be, though it can be frustrating.)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC) (Went back in order to do the main quest, though I added some mods and fucked around a bit on other stuff, too. Then I just barely started Shivering Isles.)
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (the only PSP game I’ve played recently)
Sam and Max: Season 2 (episode 5…4 also if in the right time frame.)
Crackdown (beat. so awesome.)
Eternal Sonata (crazy, crazy game)
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (surprisingly good, but still not *great*)
The Simpsons Game (360) (Very funny, but I didn’t go completionist – some of the levels I never want to go back to, gameplaywise.)
Penny Arcade Adventures (360) (Much fun.)
Saints Row (No GTA IV, that’s for sure, but fun.)
Samurai Warriors 2 (360) (Deeper than it’s made out to be.)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PC) (I didn’t have IV, but wanted to play GTA and I’d never gotten that far on this one.)
Conan (360) (Kind of a God of War ripoff, but entertainingly dismemberment-heavy nonetheless.)
Stuntman: Ignition (360) (Really fucking hard.)
Baroque (PS2) (Trippy roguelike.)
Shiren the Wanderer (DS) (Just the one run so far, but I got into the 20s.)
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (360) (Coop, again.)
Enchanter (yes, the old Infocom game – I got a Palm and have been running the excellent Z-machine interpreter CellarDoor. Another work time-killer.)
ForumWarz (so silly)

The list looks a bit 360 heavy but I promise that I do really tend to game more on my PC – it’s just that I only got my 360 back in February and so experienced a period of obsession with it, much like I do with any new device.

I recently bought all these games from an ultra-cheap shop in Plymouth. Most are XBox 360, since I just bought one of those, but I prefer TF2 on PC for its better server chooser, improved graphics etc.

28/06/2008 at 13:10 Crispy says:

Roughly in order:

Natural Selection (RTS/FPS mod for HL)
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (for the DS)
Team Fortress 2
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (for the DS)
Empires (RTS/FPS mod for HL2)
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (for the DS)
Super Puzzle Fighter (for the GBA)
Bioshock (had been waiting for a PC upgrade to play this)
Super Puzzle Fighter (on XBL)
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (ditto)

Not to mention games in test at work that I’m not allowed to talk about (then again I’m not really ‘playing’ them).

P.S. Clearly if those are the only games Jim has played for more than 2 hours in the last 3 months, the reviewing system in this industry is flawed (almost all games taking more than 2 hours to complete from start to finish – even if using a roadrunner game guide).

28/06/2008 at 13:15 polar says:

Last three months: All PC, singleplayer (‘campaign’ or equivalent) with atleast 4 hours of gameplay:

In rough order of play (highest at top) – oh, and a word of warning: I’m predominantly a 360 gamer due to lack of modern PC

Rock Band
Mass Effect (ironically, as above, mostly through /multi/player – I have a friend obsessed with the game, who unfortunately lacks the skills [or machine] to play it alone. Even after completing it twice, now playing through a third time)
Portal
Armageddon Empires
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Abe’s Exoddus (another ‘multiplayer’ title)
Dinorun
Gemcraft (my shame is nearly palpable)

That’s pretty much all of the major titles, I think.

Again, suprisngly low but I suppose for one thing I’ve not had a lot of time to dedicate to games themselves recently.

I bought Mass Effect PC but it’s sitting on the shelf – just not motivated right now for the time commitment. You said not to count small free games, but the collective works of Cactus would rank in the top 5.

It really warms my heart to see so many people listing Doom ports. TF2 just makes me want to play co-op Doom.

All of these are trumped by the tedious skill-grind of Calculus 270 on the TI-92.

I just realized in making this list, that I haven’t even played any of my PS2 games since moving 7 weeks ago. My home console gaming went from about 15-20 hours a week on the PS2 to 2 hours a month on the Gamecube, and I think that’s come to a stop too.

I sold my Wii six months ago last week and there never has been enough reason to justify the cost of a PS3 or 360 – there’s still so much stuff on PC and DS that’s sucking up all my free gaming time, especially the DS since my fiancée finally got one and we’ve been digging up stuff like Kart DS and NSMB and playing each other.

If someone had asked me 3 months ago if I’d give up console games for the DS and PC, I’d have punched them. I was going to get a 360 or PS3 with my tax rebate, but once I got it, I realized I just didn’t want either of them. Makes me feel old.

Wow, these lists seem excellent for finding people with tastes similar to yours. I’ve already spotted quite a few of those people…

Here’s my list (all on the PC):
EVE Online
Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer
Counter-Strike Source
Half-Life 2 and Episode One (both finished, working on Two next)
Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars (brief stint since it’s sat on my shelf for ages)
Team Fortress 2

Test Drive Unlimited
Quake 4 (“unimaginative” shooters are great for killing time, and they’re great fun too!)
Painkiller (because of the shurikens and lightning, no less)
TES IV: Oblivion (my try at getting into RPGs… didn’t like it much)

Games I’m expecting to play soon: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (when I gather up the courage… hopefully before Clear Sky is released) and HL2: Episode Two (see above). Might give Crysis a second chance too.

At roughly 200 comments (of which ~10 or so discounted for being comments on other lists or ‘oh and I forgot’ addendums)…

…only 64 didn’t Team Fortress 2 in the list! :o

Considering that some lists were clearly from people who were either not interested in multiplayer games or whose games suggested they cannot run any high-spec games, that’s a pretty solid indication of Team Fortress’ success rate.

Now, I’m measuring success by how many people have returned/remained to play the Pyro and Medic packs. I’m guessing if you asked those players whether they’re entirely happy being Valve’s guinea-pigs-cum-external-unpaid-testers, you might get a different response.

I think since the introduction of the new weapons (and the balance changes they’ve made to other classes), TF2 has actually made me want to turn off prematurely because the Pyro is so ludicrously overpowered and has a hard counter to every single class. Pisses me off to see that the Pyro weapons/buffs fairly obviously haven’t had enough testing time, because testers playing it 6 hours a day would pick up on this fact within a week or two.

Yeah, so, PC gaming threw me off it’s back a few years ago, and I never really got bothered enough to climb back on. Bitterness against PC gaming is still rife in my soul. I should be playing Dwarf Fortress though. I definately should. And I feel like some more Thief: Deadly Shadows…

Why’s Crispy here so obsessed with TF2?

Also, when is Rossig gonna reveal his ultimate plan with all this newfound info..?

Some games I’ll probably get around to playing soon are Thief: Deadly Shadows, Vampire: Bloodlines, Anachronox, Darwinia, Crysis, and Mass Effect (PC) .

There are a lot of older games I need to catch up on, that will keep me busy for quite a while. And to be honest: I’m finding these older titles far more interesting than most of today’s latest titles. Graphics aren’t everything.
