So lately I have been taking advantage of PS2 games' plummeting prices and filling in the (few) gaps in my collection. There have been some good (Cold Fear), some mediocre (Extermination, The Thing) and one guilty pleasure (Constantine). Gaming on my PS2 also gives me more time to spend with my elderly kitty, who doesn't leave my room much and whose sister (who also lived with us) passed away the weekend before last. So some of my PC games have been put on hold for the moment, which is ok since a few of them I haven't been able to convince myself to play after the initial launching after install. Penumbra: Overture, NiBiRu, and Alone in the Dark 4 are those titles. They seem OMG awful, except for NiBiRu, which is just boring to me. It's my first "real" PC adventure after Sanitarium, which I think spoiled me. I finally got Grandia III, and it seems just as good as the first two so far. I'm being happily sucked back into JRPG world.
Wow I forgot how amazing it can be to have a veritable feast of gaming spread before you. I have been playing a bunch of different games for the PC (some lent to me by my amazing PC gamer buddy Jessica) and I love it. It's even more thrilling than when I got my 360 about a year and a half ago since there's soooo many games for PC I've never thought I would play before when I was stuck with the family computer! I left my job after finishing my apprenticeship, since it really wasn't going too well. I'm stuck in a job limbo right now since me and my bf are moving to Ohio in a few months, and it seems wrong to get a job for just that time, then leave. So I have tons of time at the moment to game, and it's great! It's like having summer vacation again. I'm replaying Summoner now, but I've only ever played it on PS2, so the PC experience is much different, sooo much smoother! The PS2 version had me taking snack and bathroom breaks during its loading screens! Ugh! Other than that I am kinda in a survival horror mode right now. I am playing Sanitarium, which is amazing. All horror enthusiasts should play it!!
I've never had a computer of my own, so I've never been much into PC games. Now that I'm working my 1st full time job and moving out of my parents' house this year, I've decided to buy one. My decision came down to the Dell Studio 17 Laptop.
I'm very excited to think of playing American McGee's Alice and Clive Barker's Undying again! It's been years!! I've added a few older PC games to my wishlist, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them.
The games I've played thus far this year are:
Persona 4: IMO not nearly as good as P3, but decent
Hellboy: Science of Evil: Because I'm a fan, so I suffered thru it.
Lost Odyssey: AMAZING. Absolutely wowed me. Lots of text involved if you want to get a full backstory though.
Clive Barker's Jericho: I felt that this game got a bad rap. I loved the story & ablilities, but then I do love Clive Barker anyway. My only complaint would be that it was too short.
Fable II: easier than Fable, but still fun anyway. Pretty short as well.
Other than that I have been replaying older games.
