I LOVE GAMES -- displaced persons center

the DS one was pretty bad, in terms of the difficulty curve. is this one like that, just flat-out completely unchallenging until you run up against something that feels almost impossible, then back to nothing?

i keep wondering why they make new games for him, then i see the sales numbers and am flabbergasted by how much they still sell, esp. compared to awesome stuff like okam1 or psych0nauts that are great and do zilch : (

Well, here you go

cousin larry I'd say based on the last few additions to the franchise any animal with spiky hair from Sega should be steered well clear of, unless you like throwing money away and hating yourself

Dr. Orzack sees similarities between MMO addiction and more traditional behavior disorders such as compulsive gambling.

Just wait til the DSM V comes out, then yer all screwed.

Trauma Center: So far this is amazing. I can see it getting boring super fast, though.
Brain Age: WTF? This is awesome. I definitely DON'T use my brain ever, because after playing this for like 30 minutes I started to get a bit manic. It was like drugs for my BRAIN, MAN.
Big Brain Academy: Eh, didn't like it as much as Age.
the first castlevania: actually only looked at the intro screen.
Cooking Mama: yet to even put it in the machine.
New super Mario Bros: You know, I'll say it... not blown away. My friend puts it as his fave SMB game of all time... and Yoshi's Island second. I think they both rank at (or near) the bottom of my list. SMB3 first, SMW1 second, SMBLL third, SMB2, SMB1, Yoshi, this game. But I'm only on world 2, so what do I know.

And the Fire Emblem ones, too, just for good measure.

The other one was Zelda, and it completely rules.

Seriously, it's pretty fun.

Elebits, as noted above, is awesome; ransacking a house looking for little parasites and zapping them with your ghostbuster gun is more fun than I could've predicted.

My guy's score is at 2048 on tennis. I assumed it stopped at 2000, but that's not the case; you just keep going over the top of the chart. The game doesn't get harder though; you just keep playing one 1900 player and one 2000 player. Twitch reflexes and intuitive controls have me at a point where I'm consistently beating the computer in straight sets. When do I get to play real people online; that's the million dollar question?

Anybody know anything about realtime one-on-one wifi games for the wii? C'mon, they can do it with the DS; what's the hold up?

Excite Truck is pretty fun.

Anything that gets my friends to understand why I enjoy spending a couple of hours a weekend geeking out is fine by me!

things I hate so far, a list: motherfucking lava, portal monsters who won't cooperate and keep wandering around out of B-button death range, portal monsters I have to fight in human form, most of the little kids from my village, Midna giving me useless/redundant advice in dungeons.

As for Zelda, yeah, I hate the portal Monsters, but I've become a pretty big fan of riding round Hyrule Field as fast as Epona will go doing drive-bys (With my sword) on the baddies that wander about down there.

I still haven't made as big a dent in Zelda as I feel I should have, just haven't had a chance to dedicate a whole day to it like I really should. Maybe this weekend. maybe.

Same here - I'm only just catching my stride thirteen hours into the damn thing! (I do have to applaud the designers for building in a pretty brilliant degree of compartmentalization - as someone who rarely has the patience for gigantic sprawling games, it's a huge boost for the game to be structured by goals which can be accomplished in an hour or so, like "find the tears" or "get into the castle" or whatever. Maybe this has been an element of Zelda forever and it's just new to me since TP is the first Zelda I've ever owned and therefore had the time to obsess over; I 'unno.)
