Sonic Youth Gossip - What are you playing?

me tooo!!!

I'm not into real time strategy, but TBS is awesome. I always think of em as sort of relaxing games. Like thinking and taking yr time having a drink relaxing.

a couple I love are Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) and Rebelstar Tactical Command (GBA). My review of Rebelstar is here: http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/no...mmand-1369.php -- if you haven't played it, it's basically X-Com for the GBA. Amazing.

Also I just picked up Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance (GCN) which I'm really excited to get started on.

oh fuck yeah, that Fire Emblem game is awesome. I beat it, and a few of the Game Boy games. Obviously, yeah, I like Tactics, and quite a few Atlus PS2 tbs games, but my favorites are nippon ichi..

Disgaea forever!

I have a lot of Atlus GB/GBA stuff... have you played Riveira, adam?

also there's some SMT-related shit.... Revelations The Demon Slayer on GBC and Demi-Kids Light & Dark for GBA. DemiKids is cool shit. Sort of SMT-meets Pokemon. But I don't like Pokemon. And somehow this just works. I don't know. Kids studying demonology haha.

It doesn't bother me, being at least partially into that sort of thing (not yet, anyway).

I played Yahtzee's Chzo mythos games, and the later ones had that kind of goth vibe to them. They were still fine, though the first two were way better. The Path looks kind of...mmm whatever, music is kind of neat. Limbo looks pretty fun though, kind of Eraserhead looking.

In terms of Indie games though I want to play this BAD.

I feel weird that I want to play this more than Starcraft II or Deus Ex III. But I'd love to play this one.

Have you played the Phoenix Wright games? It's similiar, I've heard. I'd say it's worth $5.
