Games You Keep Going Back To...

Post by Rectifier »

Lately I've been playing Baldur's Gate 2 like a mother fucker, I soloed it as an elven Sorc and now I'm soloing it as a dwarven Swashbuckler.

This is one of those games where I don't play it for 2 years and then come back to it with a vengeance. What games fit in this category for you guys?

Easy: Tetris

My top score for my gameboy is 4,000,000 million. I always tried to get 99,999,999 cause is very possible. After 30 level if you just maintain your focus is achievable. Its the level of endurance and patience. What usually screw me over is I usually test myself by telling myself: Your not gonna make it. To see if i can beat my subconscious level with my conscious control. So far the past 10 years I still haven't master it. I am not at the master level like that famous tetris arcade kid cause that is obviously more advanced and faster than my mere gameboy and also he really figure out the more advanced moves to put pieces together. Since i go on and off of my gameboy I never really gave myself time to master those cool moves. I think the only time my skills ever paid off is that I beat alot of challengers when they were first showcasing Tetris DS at this comic convention I attend in Toronto few years ago at the Nintendo Booth. Tetris DS was cool and a bit different. First of all it has multiplayer wi-fi but the interesting part is to able to see your opponents screen on the bottom screen. This allows me to know when is the best time to screw my enemies over. You can also reserve pieces you save for later usage, so I usually save the line piece for the kill. Also the instant down button helps kick ass. I won like 20 nintendo belts that day that I gave them away to local fans.

The other obvious one is Halo PC:

I will admit I am above average but is hard to maintain it since I don't have time to play it as often. The reason I love this game cause its kinda of exclusive for us diminishing pc players with Halo 3 winning people over. I feel like a veteran when i get my butt kick by newbloods. Still I enjoy being between cause i can kick ass and be challenge by the more experienced players. The things I haven't master is vehicle sniper head shots, (I only once shot a moving player on a ghost by accident), the timing of jumping melee hits, and the infamous three pop headshots with the pistols. I love "no shield sniper games" cause is one hit kill type of game and i love killing newbs.

Me and my mates recently played Diablo II over LAN to celebrate our clubroom launch (sad fact: there are 70+ clubs in my uni and only around 10 rooms allocated for clubs). Meteorb Sorc (Meteor + Frozen Orb) rawr!

One of my friends recently got re-addicted to StarCraft and we've been LANing that pretty often too. Funniest match so far would be the one where I infested one of my teammate's command center and built a Nydus Canal over an enemy zerg's base, near the drone colony. You can probably imagine the rest ;)

Minesweeper and Solitaire... Gosh, I'm feeling like Miyuki from Lucky Star, play it often when I have to download something in 5 minutes, or loading something.

Other than that, Halo 2 PC, sorry b0mb3r, no halo PC here, and mine's kinda illegal. Probably because I wanted to try and make it through those sniper jackals on legendary... they kill you in one hit on any part of your body, how irritating is that?

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

There's nothing more satisfying than stopping a charging dragon in its tracks by slamming a giant sword onto their heads

Gundam Seed: Earth vs. Z.A.F.T. comes close though. 90% of the PSP owners in my high school played that for YEARS, even after the first Gundam vs Gundam came out

Indeed. Final Fantasy, or Final Fantasy I, as they say. Garland, pirates, crown-stealing elves, fiends, temples of fiends, orbs, time travel, garland, and whatnot.
