The Bayonetta demo. This game is freaking fun. Posted on: December 23, 2009, 05:29:38 PM
Also, the "Army of 2, 40th day" demo. It's EXACTLY Gears of War. Same engine, same character designs, except it's in Post Modern-day China. Same crappy controls as Gears too. Hell, taking cover and shooting over walls, even the slow moving bullets! Why get that when you can just play Gears? Why even play Gears?

Been playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Smash Bros. both as virtual console games.
I just managed to go through nearly half of the 6th dungeon, but right as I was opening a treasure chest and got a key (which happened to be on spikes), I died. Luckily, I had a fairy to revive me, but since I was in the middle of opening a treasure chest, the game glitched and Link was just standing there. Any enemy attacks would make him flinch, but he wouldn't die.
Also, you can't just "save" the game, you have to "save and quit". I didn't want to save and quit, and now the game wouldn't even give me the option at this crucial moment, so I had to reset. All my progress for today was lost and became a total waste of time.

So, I got Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the Wii for Christmas and beat it in one sitting (I already knew in advance that it was short).
As someone who hasn't played a Silent Hill game since SH3 (I always hear bad things about new SH games so I didn't bother), SM has to be my new favourite game in the series. It was short, but sweet.
Playing through it... you don't really think about anything that's going on because you don't really understand them. Then, you get to the end, and holy crap. I did not expect it in the SLIGHTEST. there was NOTHING in the game to make you think it would end the way it would. And suddenly, everything that happened in the game all makes sense.
It was incredible. It wasn't a very scary game, nor was it very good at mimicking the old Silent Hill style, but it was a damn amazing attempt by the developers. I really hope that they can make another amazing experience like Shattered Memories again.
Of course, as a Silent Hill game, it has multiple endings. And since it's so short it'll be nice and easy to get the endings, but this time I'll be able to understand every much more, after knowing the truth about everything.

Annie is playing that too (and I have the 2nd file on there). So far, it's better than Phantom Hourglass, but it's practically the same thing with just a few changes.
I just finished A Link to the Past myself. VERY good Zelda game (not to mention difficult as heck too).
I also played Pokemon Rumble on Annie's Wii (Wiiware), and it's a lot of fun. However, we just did 3-player multiplayer co-op and beat Mewtwo. After that, you play "Advanced Mode" which consists of befriending and playing as 3rd/4th gen Pokemon, not 1st gen like the first part of the game.
Personally, that totally turns me off. I was hoping I'd see my 2nd gen favorites but instead I'm playing as retarded crap like a "Bidoof". If you want to try it, it's 1500 points ($15), but I really don't want to play the 2nd half of the game. I'm fine using the original 150. A free demo of the game is available online.

So I got Mass Effect from Steam because it was only $5 and I'm really interested in the game.
I really like it! It's not overwhelming like certain other WRPGs I've played (Oblivion, Fallout...). The battle system is simple but very fun. Choices don't really seem to matter thus far but I like to learn as much as I can from the NPCs.
Some choices REALLY matter later on. Work on boosting charm and intimidation. Posted on: January 02, 2010, 01:36:49 PM
So I'm playing Modern Warfare 2 and Trials HD on the 360 and Audiosurf on the PC. That's about it. Trials HD is an incredible game, and everyone with a 360 should check out the demo.

Given that I'm pretty sure Mass Effect 2 is coming out soon, I think I'm going to want to replay the first. And I might cautiously look over someone's shoulder at Final Fantasy XIII, I don't plan on getting it myself but I just know it's going to end up in the house.
I've been in the hospital with nothing better to do, and I since I ended up with Spirit Tracks for Christmas I've been playing that. My overall impression is that it's better than Phantom Hourglass but it gives me a desire to replay that game.
This seems like the most straightforward Zelda game I've ever played, if that's the right word. I'm usually not able to get 100% on a Zelda game without the help of a guide, and I have this one pretty much covered. A lot of the quests are in the same vein, which puts you into a formula of finding people to transport and then exploring the area they unlock for you when you successfully transport them or deliver their stuff. I was only confused at the fact that you don't seem to get anything from some minigames, and more than one thing from other minigames, which sort of leads you to believe you're missing something or not getting a good enough score.
Overall I guess I like it. Call me a sucker. I feel like it's just a cash cow for Nintendo but there's enough in it to appeal to me and I apparently liked it enough to want to get everything in it. I guess I'll go head for the final battle soon and finish it off.
And hell yes, it is much better than Minish Cap.

Oh, ##### no I'm not. Haha. But I've been discharged today. I've been in there since Boxing Day afternoon, and I wasn't given a bed until like 4AM on the 27th. But I got to try morphine. It's nice, but I'm glad I'm off it. I'm too... stoic I guess, I'm not the kind of person who takes pain medication even when I probably should, and I guess that's not something to feel really proud about but I guess I am.
I'm going to be able to take it easy for a while, I've got, you know, my family with me who are all concerned right now and I'm going to play it close with my doctor for a bit and we're going to figure things out. I'll be fine, soon, and I think I'm on my way to recovering. I sure have a hell of a lot of pills to take.
It's actually kind of nice skipping my birthday in the hospital, because now I get to choose when I want to celebrate it.
But yeah, don't worry about me. I'm good. Let's talk games.
