probably NSMB

I'd vote BFME2 if not for the irritatingly uber-efficent AI in skirmish mode, and my lack of confidence in playing online matches.

Right now though I'd hand it to Dead Rising. Lots of silly quirks that pay off tremendously with an EXTREME amount of patience and forgiveness. It's the game I hate to love sometimes...but I think I really do love.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I am wondering why I see a Moogle in some of those shots though.

Those are people's XBL pics that are attached to their gamertags....they're like avatars. Your teammates pics along with their squad number are displayed at the bottom of your screen and the green rectangle beside them will light up when they talk.

No moogles in Chromehounds.

 

[Raw64life]

NSMB was the only summer release game I bought.

.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Dead Rising.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I just didn't know that there were avatars of Moogles, but I guess that happened when FFXI was released on 360.

 

[Joe Molotov]

The only new games that I've bought are New Super Mario Bros and Heroes of Might & Magic V.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

I didn't buy any games this summer but I'll just go with what I'm currently playing (and loving) for the first time:

2D Zelda's own.

 

[Tain]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Probably this:

laputin machine

 

[john tv]

NSMB was spring IMO. Therefore:

 

[Defensor]

Tekken Dark Resurrection for PSP. Great graphics, fast load times, tons of unlockables, my personal game of the summer.

 

[Andy787]

Dead Rising, no doubt. I've really enjoyed what I've played of Valkyrie Profile Lenneth so far, too.

 

[Cdammen]

probably NSMB

Posting from the NDS Opera Browser?

New Super Mario Bros. and Phoenix Wright (haven't completed the utmost last trial and it's FREAKING SWEET!!!) for me this summer. And a heap of PC games, I just recently bought Unreal Tournament 2004. ONSLAUGHT!!! :headbang

 

[Shoho]

Guild Wars Factions. Awesome game

 

[jarosh]

prey

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Suikoden V.

 

[dark10x]

Hmm, difficult to say.

My favorite might actually be Loco Roco, actually. For some reason, I really really enjoyed playing through it. I would also put Goku makaimura, Prey, and Okami up there.

Dead Rising might still end up as a top contender, but for every bit of fun I have with it, there is frustration on another end. The design just doesn't work well for me, though I'm starting to have some success finally (killed off a number of bosses last night).

Valkyrie Profile 2 was also pretty good.

It's been a pretty good summer overall, though I've been disappointed with the lack of 360 software (basically Prey and Dead Rising for me).

 

[Ryuukan]

I'll have to second Super Robot Taisen Original Generation

I needed a break from traditional fantasy rpgs/srpgs

 

[lyre]

the live metal system rocks, game looks beautiful on the ds and although I gotta admit no ranking system is the Technical Level Finish system is awesome. I still havent finished it tho

Here here. When Sept 12 arrives, this will be mine. But until then and after I beat this sucker, it'll be all Megaman Zero series. Pure awesome and ownage.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Dead Rising

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Shadow of the Collosus

 

[Fallout-NL]

Nothing worth while was released this summer, not here in Europe at least. Cause were still waiting for Dead Rising damnit. I dont understand wtf is wrong with the people responsible for this. I mean, my holiday is now, I gotta return to my studies in september.

Anyway, my game of choice this summer is World of Warcraft, just like the summer before it.

 

[JB1981]

Shadow of the Collosus

Ha Ha! If only the game looked like this screenshot.

 

[Eric P]

i'm currently playing syphon filter: dm pretty much exclusively right now.

nearly perfect action game for me.

 

[Juice]

Oblivion. Because it lasted all the way until summer proper and I still wasn't sick of it.

 

[Symytry]

Here here. When Sept 12 arrives, this will be mine. But until then and after I beat this sucker, it'll be all Megaman Zero series. Pure awesome and ownage.

I also just finished off the last of the Zero games in anticipation of ZX. I played the import shortly after beating Zero 4, and hot damn. I could never go back to play a Zero game again I think...

 

[Systems_id]

Kingdom Hearts II.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

 

[Fabiollo]

Wind Waker. Kinda late for the party, i know.

 

[sprsk]

Damn't people, games that came out from E3 till late september.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Rythm tengoku, NSMB and...psychonauts (I know it's old but i hadn't got the time to play it before)
Maybe a little bit of guitar hero sometimes
I also bought the american version of Wario ware twisted (can't wait no more for european version) but i've nearly finished it.

 

[GeoramA]

Tekken DR

 

[GotchaForce]

 

[Brobzoid]

Shadow of the colossus and DDS1.

 

[Aft Dread Pressure]

LTTP : Ooendan/Star Ocean 3

If we're talking about actual summer releases, then KOF XI.

 

[Wollan]

Battle for Middle Earth 2(360).

Dark Messiah was awesome but it was just a demo.

 

[DCharlie]

 

[Cornballer]

Dead Rising. Zombies FTW!

 

[yonder]

I always play a good JRPG every summer. This year I chose Dragon Quest VIII. It was a good choice. I also played NSMB, Final Fantasy I and Phoenix Wright, but DQ8 still takes the prize. There's just something about summer and RPGs...

 

[Jefklak]

and

 

[chespace]

150 hours in Chromehounds now.

And I see no prospect of curbing this habit.

Even with Dead Rising out, the online community is still incredibly strong. I can find a 1v1 game or a free battle game ANY time of the day.

 

[hyp]

dead rising takes the cake for me. i think it's truly hard to understand where inafune was going with this until the 2nd or 3rd playthrough. its brilliance shines and the "ah-hah!" moment is inevitable. unfortunately, first impressions are probably what kept this game from being a 9/10.

all of the game design decisions make sense now, including the "horrid" save system that everyone and their dog bags on. i even enjoyed the story surprisingly, the endings are so ****ed up. :lol if you need some stress and tension in your life, dead rising is just the game for you. it redefines "survival" in the survival horror genre.

i think second would be rhythm tengoku. i'd explain why, but you really just have to play it to understand.

 

[Fewr]

Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates.

 

[Reilly]

Killer 7 because of the awesome soundtrack.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Definitely Half Life 2: Episode 1 (runners ups are Titan Quest and Tekken DR).

 

[Bebpo]

Persona 3

Though Dead Rising is pretty neat and Xenosaga Ep III was quite fun.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

Definitly most played in my summer hols: Socom Fireteam Bravo.

But Tekken DR is actually the most impressive and fun game I played this summer it's just that FTB is more addicting thanks to its online mode, if only Tekken DR had that :''''(.

 

[Electrii]

<======= !!!


I'm baffled by the people saying BFME2, it's such a generic RTS game. a polished one, sure, but it's still just a regular RTS game hiding behind the LOTR license.

 

[Karg]

Chromehounds with Dead Rising rounding the bend.

 

[shpankey]

even though i've only gotten to play the demo so far (a lot though :lol ) it's easily Dead Rising for me. i only await the full version still b/c of a gamefly.com screwup on their end.


p.s. those Chromehounds pics above look absolutely incredible. wow. so i'll throw in my pgr3 pics i took earlier to balance the thread some.
