Author Topic: What games do you plan on playing during the SUMMER (Read 5468 times)

Summer starts Friday for me. Got my last final Thursday and moving out of dorm Friday morning. Last summer was great for gaming as Wiiware started and I downloaded a number of games. I also tried out Final Fantasy 6 (the one with the opera) but I didn't enjoy it as much as Final Fantasy 3 (with moon mission at end) which I played the summer prior.

I pretty much gave up gaming to focus on studies as of late so I am ready to go back into it.
~~------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~

These are the games I plan to BUY / play during summer:

DS:

Chronno Trigger: Very interested in this game for a while and now I have time to play.

Space Invaders Extreme: I'm going to beat this damn game

Wii:

MadWorld : Going to pick up this game ASAP and have some fun.

The Conduit: I love FPS games and I want to support such an ambitious effort

Wii Sports Resort: I had fun with first one, and this should be a fun party game. I really want to try out Wiimotion plus as well.

WiiWare:

( I assume these games will release during Summer )

Cave story: I heard this is similar to Metroid so I'll give it a try

Night game: I loved World of Goo so this sounds like a great successor

Lost winds 2: I enjoyed the first game allot and this should fun

Icarian: Kindred Spirits: Looks like a great platformer and similar to lost winds

Update: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years: I loved 4 so I wonder of the other adventures that will happen.

Virtual Console:

Super Punch-Out: I never really played this before so I downloaded it when it released a month ago but never had time to play so this should be fun.

?: I have no clue what Nintendo plans to release so I'll judge them every week if its worthy of my money.

~~------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~~

So that's it for my list. I have a Mac so PC games are limited, but I rather play with my Wii or DS anyway. I don't own any other consoles but I am confident I won't be bored when it comes to gaming this summer. I might re-activate my Gamefly account and rent some games too, I haven't decided yet.

So What games are looking forward to buying/ playing during this Summer ?

Okami
Dead Space
Fable II
Animal Crossing
Endless Ocean
GTA 4

Mostly catching up on old stuff that I haven't had a chance to play...no portables for me really, summer is the only time I get with my Wii and 360 so I have to make it count.

Same as last summer, Mario Kart Wii. You can't make me play anything else.

Peachylala · « **Reply #6 on:** May 12, 2009, 10:45:29 PM »

AwesomeBOTS: AWESOME Racing.

Mario Kart WHEE too.

And NES VC games.

I've bought 11 Wii games so far this year and have only played one of them, and I'll be buying at least half a dozen more in the next couple months so I probably won't be playing many games this summer.

vudu · « **Reply #8 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:57:39 PM »

I own but haven't opened the following games.

Wario Land Shake It
MadWorld
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles
Retro Game Challenge

I plan on playing all those for the next few months.

I'll also pick up Little King Story, The Conduit and probably Punch-Out!! in the near future.

MadWorld : Going to pick up this game ASAP and have some fun.

Rumor is that GameStop might be discounting this game to $29.99 this coming Friday, so you might want to hold off for a couple days.

I have a Mac so PC games are limited[...]

It's called Boot Camp. It'll solve all of those problems pretty quickly, if not ideally.

It will be limited if he has a macbook with a integrated Intel GMA chip. Then again all integrated graphics chips generally suck.

Because we all know how stable THAT is for gaming. And doesn't devour system resources or anything.

Basically gonna play SF4 and Marvel all summer. And PC games. Maybe Blazblue.

Edit: and NES games

It's perfectly stable, and doesn't really use up any more resources than Windows would normally. It's simply a second partition that you can boot into. It's no different than using GRUB to install Linux on a portion of your hard drive. Perhaps you are thinking of Parallels? That is a virtual desktop, and certainly does use a ton of resources.

Don't plan on buying any new games at the moment as I have no job and am also in college (it's a 2 year program, so it goes year-round). Games I currently own that I plan on playing on a regular basis (at least a couple times a week):

Animal Crossing: City Folk
Wario Land: Shake It! (i've owned it for about 2 1/2 months and haven't even opened it yet)
The Simpsons Game (Xbox 360 version. I already beat it and collected everything, but I have the urge to play it again and I want to beat the last 2 or 3 time challenges I haven't beat).
I might finally sink some time into Phantasy Star II. I was gifted this for Christmas but have only spent about 1 hour total.
Mario Kart Wii
Grand Theft Auto IV (if my sisters asshole boyfriend finally replaces it after I let him borrow it and my nephew scratched it to hell).

There are several Virtual Console and WiiWare games I would love to get if anybody feels like helping out a poor college student.

I have a Mac Mini 1.83 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 Gig Ram, with Intel GMA 950, 120 Gig HD (25 left)

I don't think I can play Call of Duty 4........

I will also be getting back into DDR and may grab some new mixes either for the PS2 or get one of the Wii versions.

Yikes. I need a second job methinks. And an extra weekend to play all of these. I also want to start hunting for old games again once I have more disposable income.

I also want a motorcycle and to fix up my car...yeah, second job, and overtime at both if possible. I guess I could sell my blood. Friend gets $40 per pint or something like that

After looking through my list, I realize I have a lot of catching up to do. Even if I didn't buy another game all summer, I'd still have lots of games to choose from.

Games I'm playing through or need to finish for Wii:
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Klonoa
Animal Crossing
WarioLand Shake It
Pikmin
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Okami (if I can finish Zelda)

Games I will play through or finish on DS:
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Quest V
Pokemon Platinum
Sonic Chronicles (made it to the second half, but haven't touched it since)

Games I hope to buy this summer:
Arc Rise Fantasia (Amazon lists it for June, but I've also heard it's coming in November)
The Conduit
Excitebots

I'll take a stab and say 360 games are not on your schedule.

i just finished Chronno Trigger and I finished madworld yesterday.

I'll trade them both in Tomorrow and that should pay off The Conduit. Chronno Trigger is an amazing game, easily the best RPG I have ever played. 30 excellent hours of entertainment. I don't feel like doing all the sidequests I did some, but not all. And I got the 1st ending which is fine with me, I heard that is the best. Madworld is a cool game but it got boring toward the end and no replay value. I don't want to play hard mode, and multiplayer like the actual game will grow boring.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:41:06 PM »

My summer reading list:

Urban Terror
Bioshock
The Conduit
Max Payne 2
Perhaps Half Life 2 episodes
Perhaps Strongbad episodes 3-5

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:43:03 PM »

Been playing Reggie Kart in celebration of E3 since last Friday. Also spending time with Rune Factory: Blushing Girls and PAWNCH-OWT.

Morari · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2009, 11:27:08 AM »

Finally finished up Half-Life 2: Episode 1 & 2.
Started and finished Bioshock
Just began Dead Space.

This season will probably entail:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Prince of Persia
Mirror's Edge
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
NecroVision

Upcoming Games of Interest:
Ghostbusters
Street Fighter IV

I think the only Wii game of real interest that it coming up soon would be the new Virtua Tennis. I'll need to get new hardware for that though.
