What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

I pre-ordered G.I. Joe: rise of cobra and I know i'm going to regret that decision but I wanted the special comic book you get.

I liked Blood Money the best. I felt the mobility and control was so much better and improved by the time they got to that game. All the others were frustrating and hampered by the control imo.

Delved into this again whilst off work. Lower league management ftw.

Probably gonna get some games for the ps2 tomorrow, anything I should especially pick up?

Okami
The Shadow Of the Colossus
Indigo Prophecy
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
GUN
Hitman: Contracts
God of War 1 or 2

The Shadow of the Colossus is probably the one I would recommend over everything, it's one of the most unique and beautiful games I had ever played.

Indigo Prophecy is an incredibly unique game, however there's not much there gameplay wise, you use the analogue sticks to control the character, then do these simon says button matching sequences. While the gameplay may not be the most exciting the story is well thought out and the characters are likable and well developed.

The God of War series is by far one of the best things to come to the playstation console and I am a little upset that I can't play GOW3 due to my decision to purchase an Xbox, but at least I got to experience the first two. The combat is top notch and the inclusion of Greek Mythology is a bonus for geeks like me. Honestly pick up the first one if you can find it.

GUN is essentially Grand Theft Auto but back in the 1800's. Great voice acting (Ron Pearlman, Kris Kristofersen, Thomas Jane, Lance Henrikson) and extremely fun gun play. Only real complaint is that the game is relatively short, you could easily finish the storyline in a day or two and beat it 100% in less then a week.

Thanks! I've seen friends play God Of War before, definitely looks like something I could get into. I'll look out for the other games you listed as well. Much appreciated.

I wish the whole designing aspect was better. Building your own level is impossible. At least for me.
