I am 69% Video Game Addict.

Video games are a big portion of my life, maybe too big of a portion. They are not a means of social interaction, despite what I might think. I should just go outside.

Which isn't a big surprise to anyone who knows me. In fact, I just spent all day playing Devil May Cry. I'm going to try and beat it tonight, which I think I may well do. I've done about 11 missions already. And

nekokoban had a brilliant idea, which is make this week Gaming Week. We've got a system, we've got the accessories, we've got a Hollywood Video right down the street with a fully stocked game section. I'd say something brash and boastful like 'we plan on going through a game a day' but that would mean ignoring pretty much everything else that I do all day, which I'm not about to do. But I think we can get through a fair amount. The only reason I'm updating this right now is because I hit a jumping level and needed to take a few steps back before I broke my special controller. That, and I need to make dinner -lamb sausage with spinach, grapes and homemade flat bread - before I forget. Then afterwards it will be back to the video games.

If anyone has any recs for action/adventure type games with real time fighting, let me have'em!

My favorites on PS2:

Prince of Persia (I have not played the sequel, but the first is so great.)
Beyond Good & Evil (If you can find it.. it's cheap too. And wonderful.)

Hopefully I'm not recommending something you've already played. ;)

I've got some experience with Prince of Persia, but not Beyond Good and Evil.... Thanks for the rec!

Here's my full list, although you heard some earlier:

.hack//infection
.hack//mutation
.hack//outbreak
.hack//quarantine
Kingdom Hearts
Final Fantasy VII
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Azure Dreams
Shadow Hearts
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Legend of Dragoon
Xenosaga
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (This has Dante from 'Devil May Cry' as a PC in it as well)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Jade Cocoon 2 (Pokemon-ish... fair warning)
The Bard's Tale (This one is kinda funny)
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (This one I like and hate at the same time)
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

I've got the .hacks down as definites. I've heard a lot of good things about Shadow Hearts, want to play Bard's Tale, own Xenosaga, own Disgaea, have played FFVII through Dark Cloud 2 plus the LortR one and Legend of Dragoon (which I really enjoyed(, and will be on the lookout for the others! *has heftly list now*

I scored....a 0%. Hee.

I played a video game once...in the 80s. Nintendo, I think. I dunno, it's been more than a decade. ::shrugs:: I'ma who diff type of nerd, I s'pose.

My husband, who really enjoyed Devil May Cry, recommends Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Ico. He says they are similar in game play and are short enough that you can actually finish them.
