What are you playing right now? (and 2 other questions)

Hi guys, just purchased my second X-BOX (after selling my first one last year...Was waiting for better/more games).

Right now I'm having fun with Top Spin and Rainbow six 3 , trying FINALLY to finish Splinter Cell (It came with Prince of Persia in a bundle).

I'm also thinking of subscribing to X-BOX LIVE (especially for Rainbow six 3) and would appreciate the feedback from people who tried X-BOX LIVE.

And last, what games are you looking forward to? I can't wait for FABLE, Halo 2 (obvious), Jade Empire and I'm curious about True Fantasy Live Online (as an ex-Everquest player).

February is going to be great for me.

1) Ninja Gaiden
2) Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
3) Champions Of Norrath
4) Metroid Zero Mission


Currently I am not really playing any Xbox Live games. But, Project Gotham 2 is my favorite Xbox Live game, great implementation.

I am playing Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 and Fallout, both for Xbox.
So far I am enjoying Fallout much more than I thought, even more than Dark Alliance 2.

I am also very curious about True Fantasy Live Online, although, what a terrible name.

Thanks for your impressions on "Fallout" Flashburn, I might pick that game up if only for the prostitutes...

There are prostitutes, right? Well, ok I admit I'm a sucker for virtual prosties

I'm working my way through GTA:VC for the second time. My first trip through it was on the PS2, then I picked up the XBox Double Pack and couldn't resist returning to both Vice and Liberty.

The S-controller is MUCH better suited for these games than the PS2 Dual Shock. Button layout is intuitive and analog triggers & tighter sticks make motorcycles the vehicle of choice (I liked helicopters best on the PS2). The graphics are also easier on the eyes, and my own personal 80's favorites coming from the hard drive complete the package.

I just wish I'd waited for Best Buy's deal this week; I got the GTA DP for $38 when Target had it on sale earlier this month, and this week the GTA DP & Max Payne 2 can both be had @ $60 for the set.

Oh well, I'll pick up a used Max Payne 2 real cheap soon enough. I still have GTA3 to play again

I'm playing Final Fantasy X after having beaten Ratchet and Clank and Beyond Good and Evil (Xbox version). I have been playing a lot more these last few weeks than I can remember. I'm looking forward to Crystal Chronicles but will wait for some reviews first because I really don't have anybody to play with. If it is good single player I will probably pick it up. However I am kind of liking waiting for all the prices to drop.

Right now I'm playing Tekken 4 and Kingdom Hearts. BUT I got some used games today so I'm playing those for a few minutes each to make sure they work ok. PLUS my boyfriend sent me Silent Hill 2 to play so I'm going to have to concentrate on that so he can get it back soon.

I'm most looking forward to Silent Hill 4 and the X-Files game.

I am looking forward to Gradius V and Winning Eleven 7 (or is that 7 eleven? )

But even so, I will probably wait for a price drop on them to buy b/c I am so darn cheap and so darn busy to play games atm. Although, PGR2 is sucking up most of my remaining free time.

I've been playing Viewtiful Joe the past week. I will probably start playing Steel Batalion again next. I'm looking forward to Steel Batalion LOC, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid Zero Mission, and of course Halo 2.

Just got my xbox about 5 weeks ago and LIVE is fun. I have had alot of fun playing Tetris, Unreal, and Mech Assault. Dont have much in the way of games yet, waiting for them to go cheap like all the other games I have purchased.

Looking forward to getting KOTOR and Crimison Skies soon.

Played Project Gotham 1 and Spliter cell tonight, good games but they are getting hard in those upper levels.

Yeah, actually like the first person you meet is a prostitute.

It really is a fun game. If you liked the original Fallout games and you like hack/slash games like Dark Alliance you will love this game.

Playing SSX 3 & Tiger Woods 2004 now (both on PS2).
I'm waiting to open my Live kit and try out Mech Assault.
Also waiting to open Crimson Skies.

I'll probably go out and get a Game Boy Player for my Gamecube so I can celebrate the new Metroid with everyone else (that and I have the Phantasy Star Collection sitting unopened cause CC had it for $10)

Currently?... that game where you are a wampa and you smack that penguin.

(Oh, we're talking about computer games aren't we?)

I picked up the first Socom on PS2 awhile back. But i've stopped playing that recentley. My friend got me back on Counter-Strike again, so I'll probably be there for awhile. Obviously, I'm looking forward to Half Life 2.

I believe I've gotten to 350. I couldn't imagine getting much higher than that.

Well I was going to buy an X-box... until MasterCXtreme posted that penguin game.

Most I can get is 312... but keep in mind I have never played baseball before in my life.

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread with the pingu game.

Currently Mario Party 5 (family), Animal Crossing (my wife) and SSB:Melee (my son) are in heavy rotation.

And when I can break away, I'm immersed in the waterlogged world of Hyrule. (I'll finish it one day Pixy... I promise!)

I hope to finish Prince of Persia before Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles/Metroid Zero Mission arrives. After that looking forward to MGS: Twin Snakes and maybe Ninja Gaiden. Games that still get DAILY use are ESPN NBA Basketball and Animal Crossing.

Currently playing:

KOTOR, Mario Kart, and Viewtiful Joe

Joe is my favorite of the three followed closey by Double Dash and Knights, although all three are excellent.
