"My two favorite PSP games. I love IIDX, but have to admit this is more polished, feature rich, better sound production, better tunes, high quality vids on every single song. PSP fits it 100% too"

"Do you wish you had to do Street Fighter-ish moves just to get by in what amounts to Hot Shots Golf online? I don't... but the designs are cute. :/"

"I played a bit - beat the first boss I guess - I filled his unarmored head with enough ammo to crack a safe! That really blew all that carefully crafted realism out the window and I lost interest."

"As close as I've ever come to having fun in an RTS. Also proved to me that RTSes are not for me..."

"I rarely do FPS, much less online. This sucked me in despite its many flaws. Having crafty opponents, where the norm is to know every inch of every level really changed the dynamic. But cheaters suck"

Characters:

fuchikoma, — I typically used this name.

Kamikaze Pistolero, — If you play for too long, you get too good, no matter who you are. Near the end of my time in CS, I'd buy the SiG pistol and only use primary weaps I took from victims. Of course I left a cocky spray behind when I got them too... CS really brought out the competitive prick in me come to think of it... but I guess it's that kind of game.

MAC Daddy, — I like to hide in tight spaces with a MAC10/TMP and remove heads... people think the gun is so useless you can't kill with it so they get really upset. Even better if it's a 1-shot snipe from across the level! (first shot always hits!)

"Just awesome... why can't more shooters be like this? Zero-grav in a mine, what twisted mind thought that up? You get so lost... then it just clicks and no orientation is needed. Great enemies too. "

"This game's resources are etched into my brain for all time. It was great playing online with people from all over back then. But cheating killed it. Even counter-counter-counter hacks weren't enough."

"It looked like such a promising survival horror title. Then in one minute I was crouching behind crates in a warehouse shooting generic marines! Can't believe I wasted my time trying it..."

"To be fair I'm the wrong audience for this. The graphics were typical Epic beauty. The game was so boring I felt like I was going through a parody of cliche shooters. I hear it improves, but I'm gone"

""Wow... a whole city in a box!" Freedom like this was unheard of. So many nights spent passing the controller around doing crazy stuff with friends. "

"This can't be GTA! Targeting and shooting works on a controller! Cartoon madness doesn't kill you at random! Cops don't beam down infinitely from nowhere! Euphoria engine makes people so real! Great!!"

"Best missions next to GTA4 IMO. More exciting though. Still buggy like 3, with some new ones, and on PC, VISIBLE clipping brushes jutting! Cops shoot through walls... stairs kill you... messy but ok"

"I love music games. Too bad more aren't on here. IIDX, DJ Max, Gitaroo Man, リズム天国, 応援団/EBA. Guitar Hero may be a spinoff of Guitar Freaks, but it's extremely fun and addictive regardless. ROCK ON!"

"So many people hate on this game. I like the difficulty bump and new timing as a beatmania fan. Shredding through long mind-stunning mazes of notes is hypnotic bliss! Any new music game is welcome..."

"You'd think you were outdoors if there was more than one path through it. Or that there were physics if they worked anywhere but the stages. Or that the AI's good, if they didn't go blank and jam..."

"Very good looking game. Where I played there was NO ONE around. Huge cities with a dozen people in them - on official servers. In the dungeons, goldfarmers killed anyone trying to quest and no GMs"

Characters:

Monkeh, Dwarf Treasure Hunter — Class? Honestly I forget most details of it, I didn't finish my free month...

"I'd like to try this... but I'm not in the mood for SecuROM. :/ Looks good though."

"I played Twin Snakes which is fairly different... well... a total remake. I just wasn't compatible with the PSX controls and camera, it's brutal. "Porting it to MGS2" opened my eyes to the fun of MGS"

"I really ought to catch up. I rarely play this, but it's been excellent so far."

"Incredible. I bought Orange Box so I could have this on disc and don't regret it. Even with the limited props the mechanic feels so playful. I'd amuse myself with curiosity. Great writing + aesthetic"

"What a classic. Such crude graphics, but the areas feel so concrete and atmospheric! Crazy enemies and visceral weapons... and once I learned about mods and console commands, I was hooked hardcore!"

"Like an old favorite, Diablo, but every area is fresh and original, bursting with personality. It's also horribly managed and got overrun with bots a lot. Still, I met some of my best friends there"

Server: Chaos

Guild: PSYENCE

Characters:

DojoMojoMofo, — Battle aco destined for monk. What a self-sufficient class for soloing! Yow! My sin even has a heal clip, but... this is different! Maybe better to get hit more and just heal like it's nothing!

Jidou Hanbaiki, — Or a very similar name... This guy's a "vending machine!" *ba-dum* *tsssh!*

Kuromaru, — Agi swordie. Fun slasher, but I like to loaf around a bit more on breaks AND the combat is pretty boring.

Ninja_Akamaru, — No matter what class I try, assassin fits like a glove. Hybrid dagger/katar so be it massive crits, or multi-thousand damage slashes it just feels GOOD... then more than one monster comes, my flee breaks and I'm hooped, lol

Novice: 1 ea, — Sakray super-novice (not the class! That's cheating! >:o) Around lv.30, I forget the build. (STR/VIT?) Has a strange penchant for pretending to be an item...

[S-Mart], — "Shop Smart... Shop S-Mart!" I'll give you one guess what class this guy is...

"Looks ok. I don't see anything it has over Guitar Hero, but I'd play it. I wouldn't buy the whole instrument set though! Wow that's... big."

"Fantastic. I don't even like FPS anymore but this brings the huge epic battles of Star Wars to any system you feel like using, and it does it with style and distinction! Such an epic experience! YES!"

"I don't get it - I love exploring, & everywhere in this game was different, but I got bored so fast. I guess I'm really a 2D Mario guy? I don't know. I'll go back someday, I just don't feel like it..."
