Running video games (and consoles) thread

Here's one of many renditions, amraeder

 

Damn, it's still $40? That's crazy. I'd probably say it's not worth getting...

 

Anyone else playing the British Open on Tiger 10 on Play with the Pros mode and the Wii? I will be hitting it after work.

 

I was thinking abut trying it, but I did that during the U.S. Open and I think I was +17. I'll probably get killed again...

 

My thoughts exactly. It was in a rack that had it labeled as $20, but upon closer inspection I saw that was for NCAA '09 (which there were no copies of). Tiger 10 was right next to it for $40, so I assumed NCAA 10 was the same price.
At $20, I was very tempted. For $40? Meh. Pass.

 

I'm expecting a big loss, as my character is not that great. But I'm excited about it. I didn't get in during the U.S. Open cause I didn't know I could, but I'm doing it this time.

 

The wire on my Wii's sensor bar broke, so I'll have to play Turnberry on the 360. It will be just as ugly I'm sure.

 

NCAA '10 for PS2 is $26.88 at Sam's Club. Just saw it less than three hours ago.

 

I'm actually expecting it in the mail from GameFly any day now. I was kind of curious about how it would differ from my last version, which is 05 or 06, I think. I also still stubbornly play ESPN College Hoops 2k5, because I can actually read the font and follow the recruiting a lot better than the newer versions.

I'm joining this thread a bit late here, but I've been playing through the latest Harry Potter game before reviewing it for a web site. It is very blah, but I got it sent to me for free (and will sell it on eBay after), so that's always nice. Also playing through Dragon Quest V (very good) and Devil Survivor (great) for the DS, and waiting for a copy of The Bigs 2 for the Wii to get to my doorstep.

 

An RPG player!

I'm sort of enjoying DQV now, in that I love playing it but have a hard time turning it on at night now that I'm closing in on the end. I'm also finishing up Lost Odyssey, which I really enjoyed mostly on the strength of it being FF9-2.

And I'm intimidated as hell about Devil Survivor, which I've heard nothing but good things about, but also that it's brutal. It reminds me of reviews I read of Etrian Odyssey II (though not gameplay-wise), and I couldn't bring myself to put in more than 10-12 hours (twice) before quitting because of the difficulty.

Also, I mentioned Scribblenauts a few pages ago and a couple of people seemed interested in it. It got a release date: Sept. 15. This is the game where you stack pandas on unicycles and make God fight Cthulhu on a skateboard with a shotgun.

 

I just bought the Paperboy game on xboxlive. I'm not very good, but it's really fun.

 

I'm an RPG guy breathlessly awaiting FFXIII next spring. Should be epic. Noticed you can download FFVI and VIII for like 10 bucks a pop from the Playstation store. I never finished VIII, though I started it twice. It just didn't grab me like VII and IX did, and much later, like X did. Liked XII a lot, but X was amazing. I think I played that all the way through three times.
