I find the not so great games are the ones that keep me going. For example, after FF12, playing the original Phantasy Star is damn near refreshing.Xrenity said:Really though, I only play handhelds and the AAA titles.
Zelda: Twilight Princess really got me hooked again though. Awesome game, and can't wait for Mario galaxy and assassin's creed.

- quit smoking
- reduce reading GAF from 15 to 2 hours a week

This is bad.
I think I have an urge to actually play a game.
Must. Resist.
Odysseus said:Odysseus may cry. I don't think I like this Devil May Cry game I found sitting on my shelf.
SpinningBirdKick said:Man, tell me about it.
I bought Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition about a month ago now because it was on special offer and reduced to 20 Euros.
It's still sat on the shelf in the shrink wrapping.
No matter how much my friends urge me to play it I still can't drum up the enthusiasm to try it...
SpinningBirdKick said:I'm pretty much in the same position as you, I'm a games info junkie.
A friend sent me a link to a new games news site today and damn! It rules!
I can read on that site in a few minutes what used to take hours hunting down elsewhere online.
I haven't seen it posted elsewhere yet, so I guess it's pretty new.
The link is http://www.gameboar.com

Odysseus said:I can't say anything about 3, but DMC1 so far has me mashing that one combat button, jumping from time to time, and searching fruitlessly for the block function.
HomerSimpson-Man said:Stop playing it defensively and learn the juggle system and shooting mechanics (easy to forget that DMC is both a close action and shooter) as much as possible and remember it predates and influenced all the it's follow-ups in DMC, God of War, and Ninja Gaiden that refined and changed up the formula years later.
Even in DMC3 it's a much more offensive based action compared to Ninja Gaiden and God of War.
