What have all these other games been for? :shock:


They were GBA ports, if I'm not mistaken. So since this one is designed for the DS, you can do things like examine items in detail, dust for fingerprints, that sort of thing.

You're (mostly) correct; the first few games were ports of GBA titles. However, the fifth bonus case in the first game was added for the DS port and does use the DS functionality to deepen the gameplay experience. Sadly, although this was a tantalising glimpse at the possibilities of the new platform, no such new content was added in to the port of the second game :'(

Been playing BioShock recently. I've had the PC version for a while, but since my video card is a bit old, I could only manage to get a good framerate at a crappy resolution. So, I ditched it and picked up the 360 version, which has been in my console ever since. I dig this game lots. <3

Oh, and I guess I should actually say what I'm playing...

I'm going through completing Vagrant Story at the minute. Enjoying it, but the occasional times where I have to spend a half hour on the weapon combination interface in order to soup up my armory through mindless trial and error is a bit annoying. The game could have done with some kind of intelligent suggestion script that told you what kinds of combinations wouldn't suck rather than making you do all the legwork to find them.

Still, the storytelling is excellent and that's what I look for in games so I can't complain.

GGPO now supports Street Fighter Alpha 3, so I'm playing that a lot.

I finally broke down and dropped Audio Surf on my machine... and now I can't leave my house... except that I did manage to go to work... where I promptly addicted 2 co-workers to said game. Probably a bad move as far as productivity is concerned.

Agreed on AudioSurf. Best $10 I've spent in a while.

Also been playing Synaesthete. Another rhythm game, except this one is free. It definitely doesn't have the same sort of appeal as AudioSurf based on the actual "note-hitting" aspect and the limited song selection (which frankly, comparing ANY music games song selection to AudioSurf is kind of unfair), but it is still pretty damn fun. It made a pretty decent splash at this years Independent Games Festival.

Knytt. Very clever back-to-basics platformer.

I'm currently hooked on the Touhou Project line of games. My favorite is Imperishable Night, but these things so soooo damn hard -_-
I just came so close to finishing it on Easy.... but to no avail :(

Just beat Lufia 2 again. The ending still wrings out my heart.

Man, playing it for the first time was so traumatizing, especially since I never played the first game.

Still having it out with Apollo, but now I'm obsessing over Shin Megami Tensai - Persona III. That game is so addicting. :)

What I like the most about it? The open-endedness of it all. You can literally choose how you wish to play the game, and even devlop your own personality. I like that. :O
