Random Game Challenge!!!

[Yankee]

I'm back again for another try.

Figures I'd get something like this lol. With how many there are it's pretty likely right?
Interesting though that this is from when SEGA still owned Visual Concepts (the developers of all the 2k sports games to current) before selling them to Take Two Interactive. Wow, I wonder if they regret that considering how much cash these must be raking in nowadays.
Outside of 99% 2k sports games Visual Concepts also developed the esteemed CLAYFIGHTER, LESTER THE UNLIKELY, and WEAPONLORD! Uh yeah... maybe better they stick to the balls huh?
I'll be back after a game. It's got good review scores so I'm optimistic.

I can see why this is praised. If I was a Football fan I'd probably be very excited at the presentation of this game. It has live action ESPN SportsCenter footage, great looking models and fields, as well as realistic impacts to the tackling interactions. It looks really smooth when you slip out of a grab around your legs, or when your linemen jump over opponents sprawled on the ground. The animations are great.
I haven't played enough to know if this is really better or worse in other fields like UX, and since I only played a Quick Match I can't comment on how the Season Mode and such are but I bet they're good too.

I have a vivid memory of playing this as a kid

Okay its that time again. And, the RNG gods gave me:

Lego Racers 2​

I had no idea there was a sequel to Lego Racers. I had played the first one on PC. I had no expectations of the GBA version being the definitive port of it but I went in fairly optimistic.

Rocker Racer, after being defeated in the first game, found a new place to reclaim glory, the planet Xalax.

And apparently its your job to earn your way there to beat him again. You do this by:
Racing-

Upgrading your vehicle-

and winning-

So you can collect gold bricks.

There isn't really anything else to it. I have a feeling that this port is very stripped back compared to the PC/PS2 versions. No car customization, just the upgrades. Building your own car was my favorite part in the first one. Controls are pretty sensitive and acceleration is hard to make sense of and toward the end of my time winning or loosing almost felt more like luck than skill.

If you are looking at playing this game maybe try the PS2 version to get the whole experience.

This sounded like fun so I took a chance on the Random Button and it blessed me with Tomb Raider Underworld for the DS
The release notes from the included nfo don't fill me with confidence, however

Todays random game was Doshin The Giant on the Gamecube

This was a really interesting game where you play a giant helping develop civilizations during 30 minute long days. Was nice to just relax and vibe with the music and slow paced game play. Highly recommend!

And what does May have in store for me?...

OH HELL YEA!

This is the first game Ive gotten that I have actually played before. Mind you its been years. Also, I don't have pics like I usually do because I was playing it on my TV via Batocera and I am still learning it so I didn't learn about the screenshot command until after. So I will make thins a short one.

I played for 1.5 hours and in that time I just got into the secret area in the Cathedral to save the Queen.

We all know this game is absolutely amazing, and if you haven't played it, you are missing out on an actually iconic RPG.

Still trucking along. Lets see what June has for me...

Skip Beat for the PS2. Sadly It does not have an english patch here on RGT, and I don't like VNs' enough to try to track one down I have, (6 months in) my first pass. I had no idea I would regret passing on a visual novel in a language I can't read. I got... 7 Sins

The short short synopsis: It's an asshole simulator.

The not as short version: Its effectively Leisure Suit Larry without any of the story or humor getting in the way, and unlike LSL apparently you can actually get laid. All while exploiting unsuspecting women for money sex and influence.

From the tutorial:

After the tutorial you go to your "job" at a high end woman's products store. While you are being a piece of crap there are things that make you Horny, Nervous, or Angry and you need to find ways to relieve these states. Like peeing on plants, (which is a mini game) and ogling your prey (which is also a mini game) among others. You can do "Sins" which are basically things you can do to get an advantage or cheat in some way of which you can do 7 times if you don't relieve them by... actually listening to what your target thinks about things.

I managed to last the whole hour of play, in which time i got a mark to slap me, kiss me, and change clothes outside of a changing room exposing her undies.

Total cringe-fest. Play at your own risk.

Let's play:

​

Made by Titus Interactive, known for such classics as Suoerman 64, RoboCop for the PS2 and kicking your household pet into a ditch, this is your standard arcade formula-one racer. Perfect for beginners looking to understand the basics of managing turns and shifting gears without overwhelming you with custom vehicle stats or complicated terrain physics. Just pick a vehicle, select a track and turn that PS2-era eurotek up to 10! It's not bad, definitely something your dad would pick up from the bargain bin and I think that says more than any number could.

Pressing "R2" on the vehicle select menu will reveal character portraits, because who needs to know about tire durability when the desert sun is just going to torch them anyway?

(I had a lot of fun making this)

I'm currently at work, away from my emulating machine, but I had to take a roll.

English patched version of Warriors Orochi 2 Special? Hell yeah, I ain't mad at that. I'm looking forward to seeing what the teeny tiny battlefields will look like. And am I losing my mind or is that Rachel from Ninja Gaiden photobombing the cover back there?
