If you ever get around to Peace Walker and need a co-op partner, send a message.

I definitely want to play it before 5 comes out (as I'd like to make it through the entire Legacy Collection before then). Not sure if I'll play it after MGS3 or after MGS4, but it's definitely on the list.

Ok. So I'm loving Infamous 2. Probably half way through the story. Love the system for unlocking powers. Actually makes me love doing side missions. Great stuff.

Defiance is going to get some major attention once Infamous 2

Storywise I definitely liked the first one better, but the gameplay and everything in 2 was just so damn good. I loved the fact that there seemed to be soooo many boss fights. Probably one of the more underappreciated games this gen.

Retiring SR3.

It's been a good run but there's other mountains to climb.

25 days until my Inauguration.

What's next?

[JayDizzle]

What's next?

Either X-Com, Dragon's Crown, or Ni No Kuni.

Maybe a mix of two or three.

Gotta kill that backlog for when the Holidays drop in and bend over my wallet some more.

Co-Op and MP procedures still apply if I see an invite though.

EDIT: That and SR4.

Seems like Dragon's Crown would be one you could get through the fastest. X-Com isn't a particularly long game, and gets pretty easy in the final stretch, once you've figured it out.

Ni No Kuni is a no go. You will be playing that game until Saints Row 5.

I'm picking up Dragon's Crown to play with some people I work with. Pretty stoked.

That, and Persona 3 should hopefully tide me over until Madden. I've tried to get into XCOM but I just can't.

[Bomberooski]

Is Dragons Crown multiplayer?

[JayDizzle]

Is Dragons Crown multiplayer?

Yep.

It's an "unlockable" though.

Gotta level up to a certain point and then you can play with up to 3 other people online.

There's also local couch co-op.

I'm doing this to myself again.

After watching a Spelunky stream on Twitch no less.

At least Rayman's slighly more forgiving.

MANvsGAME?

MANvsGAME?

Yep.

First time he got to Hell today.

Made me want to buy the game and I'm debating if I'll get it for PC or wait until it hits PS3 eventually.

It's amazing, but definitely no joke. I still haven't beaten it, as I always find a way to choke on the final boss where one false move is an instant kill.

Rayman isn't so bad, once you get into the grove of it. The world you unlock for don't all of the chest levels is CRAZY though. If you never got to that and thought the game was hard...well, you're screwed. I'm super psyched for Legends.

On an unrelated note, I finished The Binding of Isaac for the 6th time today. Getting ever closer to the illusive Blue Baby unlock. The hard swings in that game are maddening. Died earlier on Mom's Heart after wearing her down to under 10% of health with shit weapons and only 3 hearts, playing totally stressed out and by the seat of my pants...two plays later, I roll up on her with full attack, fire rate, and range and 10 hearts. Cake.
