WRUP: stake a vamp edition


Out of all the games released this week, only one was really on everyone's radar. So, how many of you are currently stuck in the past, battling vamps and other ghastly ghouls during World War II? We have yet to pick up the game ourselves, with the intention to do so this weekend. So, you know what we're (planning on) playing, but what are you playing?

Plan on staking Dracula right in his chest, as well? Or do you not care about the eternal struggle between good and evil, instead looking toward other titles to provide amusement?

Past posts: What were you playing?

1. Castlevania mostly. Occasional FFV Advance when I need something more relaxing, and FF3 when that fails. Oh, and Yoshi's Island 2 interspersed throughout.

2. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and definitely some FF3 when I get that.

3. I cannot put down Tetris DS. I just wish it weren't so hard to get a 4P game going!

Gyakuten Saiban 2!!

5. ds - castlevania of course!
gba - yggdra union!

carrying around both systems you need two games, and there's always something to replace the other in case of me being fickle and wanting a different style game.

neither of them i can put down though, so my brain is torn!

6. Yes, I do care about the eternal struggle between good and evil and staking Dracula in the heart... but, alas, I am poor. I am playing some games in my backlog that I have not finished.

DS: Metroid Prime: Hunters
PS2: Final Fantasy XII
PC: Cave Story

PS2: MLB 06: The Show

Posted at 3:20PM on Dec 8th 2006 by bluezy

8. FF-III, AC:WW, and Majora's Mask on N64 (I could never beat it back in the day.)

Posted at 4:13PM on Dec 8th 2006 by DiahrreaMan

9. Elite Beat Agents, Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros, and of course, Brain Age.

Posted at 4:42PM on Dec 8th 2006 by DrHockey

10. kirby squeak squad , FFIII

11. Still playing my morning AC:WW...

Trying to beat the last two missions in CHG (backgammon win, and 7 jump in chinese checkers) - I will succeed!

Played a bit of MPH for the game night...

Downloaded the Big Brain Academy demo for a while...

Actually, I've not been playing my DS too much - too busy sorting out my new PC

12. Advance Wars DS, loving it, and DotA allstars (a really, really good/popular warcraft III map) on PC. Wish AW DS had Wi-Fi, but I guess it was a launch title or something. Also occasionally just staring at my DS, basking in its glory. It's been about a month but it still feels so, so, awesome.
