What Are You Playing Now: The Series [Archive]

Halo's awesome.

Last year I read a Halo book, The Fall of Reach (haven't played a game) and really enjoyed it. It was about John growing up and becoming Master Chief, and ended with them finding a Halo planet (or whatever they are). So, I want to go through the games. I have Halo 1 & 2 already.

Yeah, behind all the hype that may turn off people is a great mythology. There was never a game based on Fall of Reach (though one has been rumored). Halo's a truly great IP, that just so happens to have fantastic multiplayer. I love it.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Completely stuck in the 5th dungeon of the Dark World. Haven't made any progress in about three weeks. No idea what to do.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Beat the forest temple, now I have no idea what to do. Last three times I have played the game I have done nothing but wander around Death Mountain, Goron City, Market, Lake Hylia, and tried to do just about anything I can.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - At the first dungeon thing.

MOTHER - Just got through the Zoo

Star Ocean: The Second Story - #7 and #8 of the Ten Wise Men. I assume this is the second or third to last battle. Been stuck here for a while, even after going 5 minutes in battle they have a few moves that can kill me if I am not at full health.

Punch-Out!! Wii - Super Macho Man, 2nd to last guy.

Metal Gear Solid - Somewhere near the beginning. I forget.

Final Fantasy 8 - Dunno haven't played in a while. Near the beginning.

Gex: Enter the Gecko - Got like 20 remotes I think.

Prototype.

And I'm 100% certain this game is built off the Spider-Man 2 engine, along with the game's version of New York. No, I'm not saying this because the game's are 'alike' and maps based on New York always look like 'New York'. This is the Spidey 2 engine, and this New York is the Spidey 2 New York - I'm sure and I love it.

A lot of it does seem like filler, but all 3 sword games, frizbee golf, table tennis and 3-on-3 basketball are all worth it.

Bowling shows how much of a difference motionplus makes as well.

I should also add that the swordfighting one where you destroy lots of Miis and run around is best enjoyed drunk with friends who make lightsaber noises :shifty:
