Because kidavi inspired me - what I'm playing right now, and what I want to play, spoiler-free. Making lists, yay!
Playing
Resident Evil 2, which is included because I still have to finish Claire B - did the other three scenarios months ago, but I kind of burned myself out by doing all of them over the course of about a week - I think I spent like six hours straight one day on it - and I just haven't picked it up again.
Final Fantasy 6 is also in that category - I really will finish it, I swear. I'm in the final dungeon, but I need to look up the menu commands and everything again, because I haven't touched it in what is literally years at this point. Also in the category of SNES ROMs I'm picking away at - Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 (proof that Squeenix can make a game with action-adventure elements that isn't total crack), and the Donkey Kong Country games, because I love me some old-school platformers.
Replays of the moment...I'm working on a Vergil hard game in DMC3: SE when I need to just smash things for a while, and I just ordered a copy of RE4, because I am weeeeak. Yes, I've played it through twice. Yes, I am desperate to play it again (in my defence, it was only $20 for a new copy).
Aaaaand...new stuff! Nocturne, as many people probably know at this point - getting near the end-game point, I think, although I spent all of yesterday afternoon doing some side-stuff - three optional bosses and one Fiend down. I think I may go after the next Fiend on the list (the last one I can reach at the moment) today, although it looks to be a tough battle - my party's strength is definately in the physical, so any bosses with physical immunity are challenging.
I am also trying to play Halflife - 'trying' being the operative word here, because as I think everyone knows now, I don't usually play play FPSs, so me + the controllers = sad. But I'm getting better, and shooting aliens FTW.
EDIT: I totally forgot about Psychonauts - I totally got stuck on the bullfighting world D:
Want
As per my last entry, I may end up getting Persona 2 because I do enjoy Atlus' special crack, I think. And kidavi's post reminded me of it - I've been interested in playing God of War for a while, and the price is way down, which means I have no excuse.
And also per an earlier post - Phoenix Wright. But that requires a DS first, and I am poor D: *needs to work more*
EDIT: And Okami! I forgot it was out.
...I mourn the period of my life where I just played Final Fantasy games. That was sad. And no, FF wasn't my introduction to video games - that honor goes to Zelda, which remains one of my favorite series of all time. Which is probably why action-adventure gameplay is my favorite.

But, Zelda was my introduction to action-adventure as well, and remains my favorite title in its genre. Though, Capcom's Okami is one of the more entertaining action-adventure games I've played in a long ass time.
*rambles*

Dude, is Okami out :o? I wanted that one, too, but I lost track of release dates.

Date: 2006-11-03 08:12 pm (UTC)From:...Which brings me to the fact that I was playing things like Reader Rabit, Think!, Lemmings (the original), Math Blasters, etc as soon as we had a computer in the house. So, that was probably about the same time as I was introduced to Duck Hunt and Mario. :D; I always played Oregon Trail at the public library in Kansas City, too. Good game.
Okami is brilliant. It's easy, so easy that there's no threat that I would Game Over, just the threat that I'll become frustrated with a boss. The controls are intuitive, the visuals are stunning, the plot is interesting enough to hold my attention, and the world itself is phenomenal and full of wonderful characters
and none of this NPCs you can't talk to crap like FFXII.no subject

Date: 2006-11-03 08:23 pm (UTC)From:That said, Einstein's Classroom sounds familiar, but I don't know that I've ever played it. I also played Island of Dr. Quandry at some point when I was... fifth grade, maybe? Oh, and all the sims games - I really got addicted to Sim Earth. We owned either the second or third edition of Oregon Trail - it ran out of DOS and had graphics that would make an SNES cringe, but it was fun. Oh, I also love You Don't Know Jack, but that so doesn't count. XD;
