Working on a Link to the Past now... first Zelda game and hot damn is it good.

I have that on my Wii so I think I'll start that after I finish Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Bioshock Infinite is done. The ending was interesting if not predictable, at least the part concerning Booker. I still say that the majority of the game was very Ho hum. And what ever happened to the cool tears? I remember during a preview/trailer there was a tear where Elizabeth tried to save a dying horse and ended up transporting them to the 1980's, in front of a movie theater with a fake Star Wars movie title on the marquee. What happened to that shit? Overall the game was typical shooter fare to me. I still say it's my least favorite Bioshock game and to be quite honest, I don't even think it deserves to have the Bioshock name attached to it. Besides having the vigors/plasmids, they could've called Infinite anything really. I did like the nod to the original games at the end. That was probably my favorite part, and a pretty significant one in my opinion. Wasn't it Levine tht said the game had NO ties to the previous two? What a crock. My wife actually said that it's the most disappointing game she's seen in recent memory. Mostly because she adores the first two and had such high expectations for this one.

I'm sure it will still be in the GotY debates at years end but I can say with confidence that Blood Dragon was a much better game to me. All of those people eople that said "GOAT" and naming it GotY already need to step away from the giant pitcher of Kool Aid.

My bigger accomplishment of the evening, at least to me, was finally hitting level 20 trophies. I unlocked a bunch in Spec Ops and Bioshock today. The only ones I need in Bioshock are to find a few more infusions and I missed a few of the sightseeing telescopes. Although, unlike with the voxophones, which the game keeps an in-game tally of, I don't think there is any way to know which ones I'm missing. That combined with the pretty crazy Chapter Select option pretty much rules out me trying to nab them.

Just beat Sleeping Dogs for the second time. Once again, what a fantastic, severely underrated game. Really hope we get to see Wei Shen again in a couple years. I think this weekend is going to devoted to seeing how many Uncharted games I can make it through before GRID 2 comes out on Tuesday.

100%'d FC3: Blood Dragon.

Took me less than 9 hours in-game time to beat it on the hardest difficulty but it's done.

Found a LOT of weird random shit around the island that had nothing to do with the story at all.

 

There's a giant wood and iron cross on one of the hills, surrounded by Blood Dragon Eggs; also along one of the shorelines, there's a crashed prop plane that looks just like the one the characters from the original FC3 jumped out of to go skydiving.

I just found out today that the pistol he uses is identical to Robocop's. Pretty awesome.

I beat XCOM: Enemy Unknown last night. I could have done it a while ago, but I spent quite a bit of time making sure all of my soldiers had the best gear and replacing my Interceptors with Firestorms for the hell of it. I really enjoyed this game, and I'll come back to play one of the Ironman modes sometime later.

 

[Swarley]

Beat The Amazing Spider-Man tonight. Combat is pretty awesome. They've set it up to be just like the Arkham games, however, outside of the combat the game is pretty stale. If you were into collecting shit in games, I'm sure the comic books would be a decently fun task. The acting and the writing are God awful lol, but the combat is fun enough to still make the game worth a play. The game gives you quite a few boss fights, which I always love in games. The more boss fights the better in my opinion. But yeah, it's definitely worth a play if you enjoy good combat and you can look past the writing (and enjoy Spider-Man).

I just beat God of War Chains of Olympus. The graphics were really good for a PSP game and the controls were smooth. At times I found myself bored with repetition and buttom smashing and the story lost me more times then I can remember but I enjoyed it and am ready to move on. I think I am going to start Resident Evil and just swap back and forth between the franchises to not and wear myself out from one.

Finished Mirror's Edge tonight. FANTASTIC gameplay. The story is horrible lol, but if you're one who can appreciate a game for the gameplay alone, then this is a game you should play. The platforming is in another league when compared to other games, especially in Chapter 8. The platforming doesn't hold your hand at all, which I loved. You have to figure out how to get to your objective, the game wont tell you step for step. It's really cool b/c you can bypass all combat scenarios if you're careful enough until the final chapter, which is pretty cool these days since most games are so combat heavy. Like I mentioned, the story is forgettable, in fact, I didn't even really pay attention after a couple chapters. If you appreciate good gameplay and/or platforming, then this is a must play. Hopefully for Mirror's Edge 2 (I would be surprised if we didn't get the reveal at E3) they can improve the story so I can care about the characters and possibly improve the combat a little bit (but like I said, you can bypass most so it's not that big of a deal).

 

[Hitman]

Beat all of Twiggs high scores on Marvel Pinball..... :dance2:

BTW the Avengers pack is fucking awesome. World War Hulk table is amazing.

Why would you play that on PSP? Get the Origins collection on PS3 bruh.

I really need to pop that back in. I got to a point where I couldn't figure out where I needed to go and got frustrated. Plus I was trying a no kill playthrough. I just need to start over.

I wouldn't get too excited. I literally played each table once just to get the trophy.

Thats what I did, but even at a HD remake, the game looked good.

Besides finishing The Last of Us the other night I also finished Call of Juarez: Gunslinger last night. Now I think I'll play through on Hard because it was so much fun...and of course, trophies.

 

[jms493]

Revenge has been had...Finished Call of Jaurez: Gunslinger

 

[SethMode]

I need to get back into Gunslinger.

I have beaten D&D: Tower of Doom 4 times already. Old school arcade games on consoles FTW! I remember now why I dumped so much damn money into that fucking bear of a game.

its not terrible long but sometimes it can get stale at bits. It is just shoot, shoot, shoot but the whole telling story through memory is a cool idea. The setting, story, and the duels is what really kept me playing. I basically used the rifle the whole game until I was able to split dynamite in 3...that was pretty deadly.

 

[padman59]

I think I finally beat the main story for Dragon's Dogma. I got stuck on the last stage of the ridiculously long Dragon fight when I got there last week, and I finally hunkered down to finish it. This game can be a total pain in the ass, and it looks like there is a fair amount of optional post-game content to do still.

If you do get this on PS3, send me a friend request so you can use my pawn for free (upper-80s level Ranger). I think you can still use her with the Dark Arisen version as well.

Started the Insanity run on ME3 after beating ME2 last night.

Finished CoJ Gunslinger again on Hard last night and also found the last few collectibles I was missing. That last battle in the graveyard was a bitch.
