Tell us what game you're playing at the moment. Is it good? Bad? Who's your favorite character? Is there a special tactic you use for a game you've played before? Share it with everyone here!
I'm currently playing through Majora's Mask for roughly the 15th time(I get 100% every time I play). Great game. One of my favorites of the Zelda franchise. Currently doing the Pirate's Fortress. Random tactic: I always went and got the stone mask from the man in the canyon before going to the Pirate's Fortress because I didn't want to deal with sneaking around.

Well, I'm currently playing thru a plethora of different games in the last few weeks.
Namely, there's Batman the Brave and the Bold on the Wii, that's fun to play with others. The game's pretty short, yet the episodes are a tad long. I'd recommend playing thru an episode or a half of one per day with that, since it can get repetitive.
Other games I'm playing include Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds World Championship 2010 (or, as I like to call it: CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES on DS), finished off Bionic Commando Rearmed, and that's about it, I think.
Oh, and yesterday, I was in the mood for playing on my copy of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure on the PS1. I sure love that game. If you love crazy Capcom fighters, this is a game worth playing!

I hate those 2D fighters on the PS1, specially with most of the times a Saturn port being available as well and truer/faster framerate/better ported (and me having one). Though Jojo's pretty good on the Dreamcast!
Currently playing through Bioshock 2, which I'm loving so far. Though I'm sure I'll still prefer B1 over the 2nd one once I finish it... It's a great game mind you. Unique, beautiful, fun and very interesting....But it's mostly a "filler game". Not a true original sequel, but Bioshock 1, "again". (the story is sort of a prequel and sequel to the first game) It lost most of its unique appeal (discovering a strange new world). There's a huge feeling of "déjà vu". And it's the kind of game that would be harder to understand if you haven't played the first before....

I'd get it on the Dreamcast, but a certain "maSTeR" would talk about how it's an inferior copy or something like that. Then again, I'd pretty much get it if I saw it. (Even if there is now Super Story mode, which is the PS1 version's advantage) As well as the Marvel games. I hear the PS1 versions for those were inferior in some ways.

Not playing much lately, have been too busy with work and stuff. Still, I finished Mafia II a few weeks ago... I'm a little bit disappointed, to be honest...

I'm playing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon on the DS. Its a pretty good Fantasy Strategy game and you do run the risk of getting your units killed for good. (unless i restart the DS and start from the checkpoint again.)
And i'm also playing Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition on the Pc by using Dosbox. Its like a more badass version of DOOM or something. I'm up to episode 2 at the moment.

It feels kinda unfinished. The story all in all is well-done, the German dub is also pretty good (I could also switch to the English one which is really good as well), but it feels like they were trying really hard to turn the game into an open-world-game but didn't have the time to finish their plans in the end. But next to the really well-done story, there's nothing to do in Empire Bay. Basically you wake up at your home, go to the Story's locations and fulfill your missions, and after the mission you go back home and that goes on and on again and again. Well done, but that's it. I can buy guns at gunshops, but I don't need to, in every single mission I get enough ammo by dead enemies to crack Fort Knox ! I can save up to 10 cars in my garage, but why should I when there's always a car in my near I can carjack in a second ? I can buy clothes in shops, but why should I if it's much easier to steal every single pair of jeans, shirts and coats the shop has to offer ? During the missions I earn some money, but due to the points above it's pretty useless, because it's always easier and more useful to steal stuff instead of buying it. ...oh. And unlike Mafia I, I'm not able to shoot out of my car anymore with any weapon. WTF ?!? So well, I played the game during a week, I finished it, and I don't feel the urge to play it again, no matter how good the game's radio channels are, no matter how good the graphics are, the different cars and guns are, or how the city changes during the years. You played the story once, then there's nothing to do. Unless you buy one of these mission-sets that've already been on sale for GTA4. For a more decent review of the game, I recommend the following video : www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1988-Mafia-II

I havent played it so I can't really say, but by the sounds of things your treating it like it should be some big old sandbox game like GTA when really it's an adventure game like Assasins creed or something.

Oh, the Capcom fighters that are both on the PS1 and Saturn are quite awful on the PS1, and not saying that to bash on the not-Sega-system. (as a matter of fact I have 2 of those on both systems..) In general, Capcom used to take out multiple characters on screen on the play, slow down the framerate and downgrade the art/sprites a bit.... (the play was good with 3D, but pretty bad with 2D.. The Saturn still is to this day the ultimate 2D console in my eyes!)
