Re: Gamer confessions

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been 200X days since my last confession. I have once again impulse bought despite the fact that my finances currently look worse than the global economic situation. I learned that Strictly Limited had done physical printings of Turrican Anthology Vol. 1...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

Interesting list. I'm curious the reasoning for some, like why Soul Calibur 2, 4, and 6? 2 I understand, but I didn't keep up with the series and never played 4 and 6. Soul Edge was good, Soul Calibur 1 even better... But Soul Calibur II added some really fun characters and hit the mainstream appea...

Re: Games Beaten 2025

1. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Cynically, in the modern chapters, this game even admits that it's a commercially pedestrian blockbuster. It depicts history wrongly all the time, so there's little value in that. Purely as a game, it's mostly the same as the previous games, which means gameplay i...

I beat Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls on the GameBoy Advence this evening!

Would you say it's better than Final Fantasy: Ultra Champion Edition? :mrgreen:

Re: What are you playing?

Grand Theft Auto IV on PC. :evil: I bought the game for Xbox 360 and the disc turned out to be scratched. Even after several mods and I about 13 'fixes', the game still stutters. Still, I'm sticking with it, because I have never beaten a GTA game and this time I am determined. I've always found them...

Re: What are you playing?
