Chris K’s Summer Games 2005 List

Posted by Chris K on Monday, June 27, 2005

Since people are already finishing games, I’d better get my ass in gear and post my list of games to play before it becomes Fall Games 2005. So, without further ado:

1. Resident Evil (GameCube) - After umpteen million initial attempts to get used to tank controls, once I did, I had a great time playing “Resident Evil: 0″. The sound was great, the visuals were awesome, and so on. This game is my official warm-up for Stubbs.

2. Final Fantasy Chronicles (PlayStation) - We Final Fantasy fans are mindless sheep. Thrown in some new cut scenes, and we’ll play our way to the slaughterhouse. “Chronicles” is the PlayStation adaptation of the SNES classics “Final Fantasy: II” and “Chrono Trigger”. I beat FFII a few years ago, but I have yet to see the new scenes. “Chrono Trigger” will be brand new for me.

3. Star Wars: Battlefront (PlayStation 2) - I still dream of becoming a clone trooper. Bring on the droid army!

And filling in the rest of the time will be “World of Warcraft”. The world will learn to fear Adenadar, the Dark Elf Druid! (Once he gets off the newbie island.)

[Update: I didn’t want to do this, but Tim’s forced my hand. No. 4 on my list will be Interplay’s Freespace series for the PC: Descent Freespace, Silent Threat, & Freespace 2. Two or three more games (depending on how you count Silent Threat).]

Chrono Trigger is fan-TAS-tic!

Crap. Now I’m going to have to buy it for the Playstation even though it’s free via SNES emulation.

I second that. Chronotrigger is one of the the best RPGs I’ve ever played. Don’t let the slow beginning turn you off…

I expect big things from you Mr. “Three Game List”. Even with an FF title in there, you best be finishing these!

Hey I hadn’t noticed your updated post on Final Fantasy X-2. Congrats on driving that mother home. Now to find an appropriate prize…

Three games? I count four.

WoW doesn’t count. First of all, it’s not a game, it’s a cult. Secondly, it never ends and thus can never be finished. Therefore it is ineligible for submission as a Summer Games title because the point of Summer Games is finishing back titles to make room for future games.

WoW is the enemy of Summer Games.

If you doubt my ruling, read your manual or submit your complaint to the Summer Games Appeals Committee

If I counted WoW, I’d have 5 games:

1. Resident Evil

2. Final Fantasy II

3. Chrono Trigger

4. Star Wars: Battlefront

5. WoW

WoW not the enemy of Summer Games. It is part of another EMB project called Endless Games 20XX. Other Endless Games 20XX titles include Pitfall and Missile Command. Now watch in horror as I reopen my EVE Online account.

I see, Chris. So using your logic, The Chronicles of Riddick is actually two movies.

I don’t follow. Are you talking about the Vin Diesel movie and the Peter Chung animation?

In any case, I’ll have plenty of time for games as my girlfriend is fond of kicking me off the computer so she can play WoW. I blame Steve. :-)
