Hey everyone, been a while. Is there a thread like this already?
Anyway, if not, what's everyone playing currently?
Other than some online gaming, I just started playing Rudra no Hihou since I've yet to play through that game. I just played through Shadowrun again last week (the PSP is good for something).
I've mostly been playing City of Heroes recently.
Im playing Mother 3 (which I just beat), World of Warcraft, Oblivion, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.

I've been replaying Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (on two computers, so I'm playing every campaign twice)
I'm playing Heroes of Might & Magic 5 and Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. The first is fun but the latter feels more like work. ...
The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, again. Except Im gonna have a bitch of a time
*********SPOILER*********
beating the four or five dark nuts you fight at the end. As I did not obtain the Mountain area Tiger Scroll so I can't get the ultimate spin attack which makes beating them so easy.
Skies of Arcadia. That's it for now....
I'm sorta playing through Star Ocean: Till The End of Time (I think that's the title) and New Super Mario Bros.
'Sorta playing' as in I play each of them every one in a while.
I'm currently playing Counter Strike Source (in a local clan), and WoW of course.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R leaked edition XD.
Last duengeon of Suikoden V. Gonna get the normal ending because I already screwed up the missable characters, but that's alright. I can prolly find a video of the good ending somewhere online, cause I definately won't want to play through it again. I loved the story, but the pacing and the way too easy battles (auto-battle can get you through most of the bosses, even) almost completely kills it.
I think Suikoden III is still the best next-gen Suikoden, even though many fans think it's the bastard child of the series =p
Oh the normal ending is the best.. and once you get to the final boss you'll be like "...well that ended fast... I didn't even get a turn" haha the final guy is pretty unforgiving. I would suggest beefing up you 6 main guys, make sure you can case the Dawn and Twilight lvl 4 unite spell when the majority of your party is dead. and make sure you have a power house mage other then the prince that has the Rune that replensishes mp each time that character attacks. Your physical attackers will probably get wiped out in the 1st couple of turns so if you're been relaying on them up til now you may find that you can't or will have extreme difficulty beating the final guy.
but yeah the Normal ending is awesome. I think you'll be glad to what happens to the main characters heh.
Half-Life 2: Episode One once Jake gets around to buying the damn game so I can play it.
Some WoW...
Going through all my PS2 games looking for games with widescreen support. Found out THUG2 has it so I've been playing that some.
In Star Ocean: Till The End of Time, I only got to the part where the place was getting attacked or whatever while the Fayt and..Sophia....mayb?..were in that battle simulator thing, near the beginning, before I had to stop playing and do something else. I haven't gotten to play it since. But so far, I haven't found it that great.
Does it get better?

Let me think a little... hmm... it's alright for a short time and then... hum... it gets pretty boring and bad.
Fire Emblem for GBA, damn that game is hard!
Phantom Brave for PS2, just beefing up my characters.. around level 300 now.
Fire Emblem, what an awsome game. 
I am still playing the usual: America's Army =D
Resident Evil 4, Dragon Quest 8 and Final Fantasy 10... in 3 days.
Oblivion, I got addicted to this game again. Awesome, especially the Hunt quest or whatever it is, I was like O.O awesome. And when I get a WoW timecard I'll be playing that too.
Star Wars Battlefront II. Nothing beats the secret all hero mode. I love playing as Grevious and mowing down anyone who gets in my way.
Lagoon for the SNES.
Fnished up Suikoden V. Certainly the best story in a while, but everything else was lacking.
Picked up a copy of Tales of Legendia (for free at that, gogogo trade-ins!) Nothing particulary outstanding, but the Tales series isn't known for setting benchmarks. It's fun as hell, and I love it.
I rented Indigo Prophecy from Blockbuster yesterday so uh...I'm playing that now. It's a pretty cool game imo. I like how it's sorta like...an interactive movie. It's neat.
I've been playing through Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth on my PC on and off. I'm thinking about playing through Doom 3 again, then actually play through the expansion pack after I beat it. I havent touched it since I bought it. And, as always, I've been playing City of Heroes/Villains.
Guys, should I play Shadow of the Colossus? I've had it for like a year but hardly touched it...
OMG yes. That game is amazing, most epic feeling game ever. One of the few PS2 games I refuse to trade in.
Well I just beat Indigo Prophecy. Excellent game. You all should rent it immediatelly.
... @ I have no idea how to spell immediatelly.
The Lost Vikings for DOS. (retro all the way!)
Been replaying all Infinity Engine games (BG series, IWD series) except Planescape: Torments, I don't have that one unfortunatly.
P.S. level 13 Kensai dualled to mage is the best thing since sliced bread in BG2, an amazing tank and a great spellcaster too. Just put a few buffs into spell sequencers, and improved haste into a contingency and then hack away.
I'm Currently playing a few games, FF8 again, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Currently awaiting Midgar V3), My Import of Naruto Gekito Ninja Taisen 4, and thats about it.
Did I tell anyone that I've been playing "Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne"? I bought it quite a while ago but never really played it. I'm really enjoying it a lot now, though.
Also cool @ ESOP re: Indigo Prophecy. I quite liked that game.
How many times have I beaten Suikoden 5? I don't recall.
Ansonr, have you played any of the Narutimett Hero games? I love those.
At the moment, for PS2 Games, I'm playing: Dragon Quest 8, Xenosaga Episode II AND NBA Ballers.
For RPG Maker's: Phantasia 3 and ARC II.

No, unfortunetly my ps2 is a piece of crap and only works half the time so modding it to play imports is out of the question. All though I have thought about the english version of the first which was just released state side. All though the voices drive me insane its really about the gameplay. I figure I will wait for the second or third to be released in the US anyway, everyone said they greatly improve over each other.
Well, kinda. They changed the Ougi system in NH2 (that super-cinematic-cutscene-jutsu thing) and made it irritating as hell, but NH3 fixes all that AND features every single character you could dream of up to the time jump (even Konohamaru and all the Hokages).
I'd advise you not to buy the English version or you just might end up hating Naruto forever. But if you do, mute it.
Now that I'm done with Indigo Prophecy, I'm replaying Tales of Symphonia, since I never got through it the first time I started. I love that game.

Oh trust me I will, I have seen Clash of Ninja, the voices make me want to shoot myself very irritating, but then I ran home into the welcome arms of Ninja Taisen 4 and all was well. America has trashed Naruto, the show and the character they make Naruto about to be much more of an idot than he is.
I was playing Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness...until I discovered Tomb Raider: Legend on the cheap (20 quid). I'm not far in at all, but it's pretty good so far.
Kingdom Hearts 2. "Found it" at a local carboot sale. Just beaten the 3rd boss inside the final castle (the dude who goes bEserk). Very good game so far, and I need to get up a two or three (or twenty) levels before I can beat Sephiroth.
......never mind this post.
Metal Gear Solid 3. quite fun. even on very easy mode. lol. when i complete the game, i try normal or hard. :cool:
Nothing. Any games old school games reccomended(I prefer the oldschool stuff)?
Play The Lost Vikings. Doesn't work perfectly on WinXP though, MIDI soundtrack gets messed up so I'd recommend playing it on Win98 or older (since they're DOS-based, they won't have to emulate the game's playing environment) Search for it; I found it in a place called Abandonia.
If ya want an old school rpg, check out chrono trigger (if you allready havn't), probobly my favorite rpg of all time.
Hehe. . .it should be obvious. Look at my avatar, sig, introduction post. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time ROCKS!

Use SCUMM to emulate DOS.

Or what Myo said. Or get the SNES ROM. Or buy it for GBA. Then play it, fall in love with it, and do the same thing again with The Lost Vikings II, except you can also get that on Playstation, but I imagine it's a bugger to find these days.
I left Dragon Quest so that I could concentrate on my exams and I haven't got back to it yet. I haven't fallen out with it yet, so I imagine I'm due for returning to it. If not, I have Shadow Of The Colossus lined up, and I'm very looking forward to playing that, Mr. Ico fan here.
Another great oldschool game to play is Warcraft II. Not bloody World of Warcraft, although it the introduction does say "Welcome to the world of Warcraft." I recommend you buy Battle.net edition, that way you don't need a good DOS emulator to make it work (and it includes the expansion too), not to mention the free access to Battle.net
There's also some other great games, let me list off the games I can play on my 1996 made laptop computer (with 32 mb RAM and a 2 mb video card, unknown processor but I think it's 233 mhz) :
The Lost Vikings
Warcraft
Warcraft II
Worms Armageddon
Civilization II
Roller Coaster Tycoon
And if you're in the mood for good SNES games, may I recommend:
Final Fantasy 4
Earthbound
Donkey Kong Country series
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 5 (if you're using an emulator, no official english translation)
Breath of Fire (I and II)
Illusion of Gaia
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (the BEST game I've played that was made for young children)
Killer Instinct
Populous (über oldskool)
Super Metroid
Alright, I'm done...
My cousin spent some days in my house and guess what he brought? Grandia II! I'm playing the game (4 hours so long 
) and I may say it the combats kick ass! top-notch
Playing Super Mario Advance 4, or rather, SMB3, I wish they didn't add the voices though, this sort of kills the mood and gets annoying after a while, there's also that when you're raccoon or flower Mario and get hit, you still remain Super Mario instead of going back to small Mario, this makes things easy, but it's still pretty damn fun.
Still playing Fallout 2 from time to time, also sometime playing Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.
