Gamers...what are you playing right now?

[chadsexington]

I'm getting really tired of games that don't unlock achievements properly once you've done them. Bully had this problem (though the achievements would in fact unlock eventually) and TNA has it too. I'm in chapter 5 now having defeated LAX, but didn't get the achievement for doing so and from what I've read, it doesn't eventually unlock...you're just SOL.

Nick, I think the most irritating thing about this game isn't getting countered as much as it is the fact that everything relies so heavily on the B button, and how the game doesn't recognize directional commands with it. Not only that, but tons of the controls overlap. You can't roll away from a guy hitting you when you're on the ground and then get up because the control system doesn't recognize you're pressing B for the sake of getting up, so you have to find a small window in which to stand up when your opponent is between stomps. The overlapping controls are a pain too. How many times now have I gone and stood on the ring apron when I was trying to tag my partner...or climbed a turnbuckle or rolled out of the ring when I meant to pin my opponent? Ridiculous I tell ya. The game has so much potential, but it's a shame that there isn't ever going to be a direct sequel since Midway's gone under.

Bought GRAW 2 today, but the guy at the store mistook for GRAW 1 and gave me the first one, which I already had. Return day on Monday, YES!!!!!!

Also, don't know if I can do this, but there is this great website Facebook like called Raptr.com, tracks everything from achievements to how long you've played.

What in gods name are Achievements? I beat RE5 and had a blast playing it. Is that an achievement?

 

[NickC]

Achievements are like Trophies on the PS3. The 360 started it when the system came out, except instead of different types of Trophies makes( Gold Silver, I think) the Achievements are points called a Gamerscore which is a running total

couple of questions. has anyone tried tiger woods 10 or indiana jones on the psp? i read the reviews and it seems that tiger woods is exactly the same as previous versions with worse graphics....indiana jones seems like a good game, but i can't find any screen shots for the psp or a review online. the levels also appear to be really short and the game pretty easy to finish. i am an og indiana jones fan so i don't really care how long the game is as long as it is fun...thanks!

Just got the newest map pack for COD Worlds. I don't really like the multi-player levels that much. But the new Nazi Zombies is awesome, I love the hell hounds/zombie dogs, also like how you need to move around a lot more. You can't do the multiple weapons glitch with the new one which I think is cool, and so far no glitches I have found. Glitches will be found very soon though.

Stopped in at Rogers to see if I could find a gift for a friend's birthday on Saturday, and saw We Love Katamari sitting on the PS2 used sale shelf for $12.99...game I'd been searching for for the last 3 1/2 years (I know it's all over eBay but I wasn't willing to pay $40 for it.)

The store had a BOGOF sale, so I picked up Fifa Street 3 for 360 as well. Then, after using my Rogers Plus points, my purchase came to like...$3.55, so I walked out with each game for $1.78 each. Not bad.

Just picked up Ghostbusters for the Wii. Gameplay takes a bit of getting used to, but dammit - it's fun! One thing I do not like: the rendering of our four intrepid heroes. Venkman looks like he had botched surgery for cleft lip and palate, while Egon looks like his head's been actively stretched. Zeddemore actually LOOKS like he's supposed. Ray apparently is packin' on the pounds, if his head is to be believed.

I fully intend to at least rent Ghostbusters. I loved it as a kid, no way am I gonna say no at this point.

Just picked up TW10 for wii. If you are a golfer this game is a must, it's the closest thing to a golf simulator that you will find. With the new motion sensor that comes with it, it's like your out on the course. You can hit draws and fades with a turn of the controller. I can't put it down and my body is aching like you wouldn't believe.

Also, just picked up a copy of Resident Evil 1 for PS1, the long box version. Somebody locally was selling it on Craigslist for $15, I just had to grab it. Started playing and man does this game take me back in time! What a difference 13 years makes.

bought UFC 2009 Undisputed last week and picked up Ghostbusters yesterday: both for xbox360

ghostbusters is fun...some levels are a bit creepy though...

just started playing the sims 3 with all the cheats. last time i played this game was 10 years ago when the first one came out. it seems just as fun as b4, but the camera is annoying to me since i can't seem to get it at the right angle at all times which makes moving around difficult...

Add me to the list of Ghostbusters players. Picked it up for the PS3 and it was like visiting old friends. SO awesome to hear the original cast playing these characters again! The PS3 version isn't as cartoony as the Wii version and catching ghosts is something I can see myself doing for quite a while. Very fun game!

Friend of mine owed me a 20, so for that money he owed me + another $20, he sold me the Sonic Genesis collection for 360 and Mad World for the Wii. Knowing me, I'll probably never play Mad World, but I've been fascinated by it forever, so it's good to own it.

Sonic Genesis Collection...I already own most of those games in some form on PS2, but well...it was 20 bucks and it means this is like the 6th different copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 I own...haha.

Hey Matt;

If you're planning on playing Mad World anytime soon, I'd love to borrow that from you at some point. Figure I should dust off the ol' Wii and get to waggling again soon.
