bought two old used ps2 games yesterday

Godfather  - Fucking awesome. great atmosphere...undifficult controls, gameplay. I really like this game (very early still in the game mind you) and it has Brando's voice!
and

Max Payne 2 - Controls =   stupid moving the camera at the same time as you are moving - far beyond my sad motor control abilities, also too similar to first Max Payne visually, not much improvement)

Godfather was a good game.  Better than Mafia, at least as far as the PS2 goes.

I just got done playing this horrid alt history/WWII shooter for the 360 called Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.  There's actually a lot of game potential IMO for a Nazi invasion of the US, but these game designers made all the wrong moves.

IIRC, the game came out last year & flopped big time.  It has a tendency to freeze up the console for no good reason, terrible hit detection, and a clunky-as-hell feel to it.  There is very little story to it, and you find out next to nothing about your character's story.

Having said all that, I did get *some* enjoyment out of it (I'm probably the only guy here who has not gotten bored with WWII shooters).  I only paid $15 for it at Microcenter, and it was the "Collector's Edition" with a cool metal case, "making of" DVD, art booklet, and a poster with the alt history timeline the game is based upon.  I peeled back the 3 or 4 markdown price tags, and saw that the original price was $79.99

Reinstalled Baldur's Gate 2 with Throne of Bhaal and a fuckload of mods.

I am: nostalgic.

I bought the PC-version for 5 euro. can't play it thanks to crappy copyprotection

I've just got a hold of the Witcher from a friend, its been on my to play list for a while.
It seems alright.
The combat system I don't understand though, seems to be just click as fast as you can and the enemy miraculously looses hp without you actually slashing him. Odd.

I've done that a few times before but I always get bored early, the beginning of the game just sucks big style.

IIRC I found somewhere a mod called "Dungeon-Be-Gone" that, when installed, lets you start the game from [BEWARE HEAVY SPOILERS] immediately outside Irenicus' dungeon, and giving you all the items, magical and normal, you would have collected while escaping from the dungeon; it makes you start after the cutscene [BEWARE BEWARE IMMENSE SPOILERS COMING NEXT] when Imoen is evicted by the Cowled Wizards together with Irenicus.

Just finished Sacred 2 with a Shadow Warrior. OK mindless killing with several ridiculous features.

Cant judge about the PS2 but PC wise the godfather was far inferior over Mafia. And I doubt a port can change a game that much...

Really?  This has been on my bargain-bin shopping list for a long time but if that i show combat works I may not even look in the scrap heap for it.

Just bought Ghostbusters for the XBox 360.

HoI 2- Hungary. I have no idea why.

Had to restart my Oblivion campaign due to an obnoxious glitch: I entered Miscarcand before I was supposed to and got the über Varda stone before Martin told me to get it: in consequence

a) The King of Miscarcand, that clown, and his zombies attacked me just after I had fast travelled to Bravil... I didn't know what was happening, but the Guards and the law abiding citizens sure did and the aggressors were all dealt with quickly!

b) Jauffre attacks me as soon as the Martin-Countess of Bruma conversation is over, doesn't accept my "surrender" and is killed by the other characters. Reloading doesn't change a thing (?)

c) Poor Martin doesn't use armour or weapons and is killed swiftly once and again in Bruma's defence.

Lesson learnt? Always buy the PC version. Sigh...

I have bought Morrowind (PC version, some expansions included) for 4.95 euros...
