Head over here!

Personally I have used it for nearly 3 years now I think? I have always been a fan. I use it to get games on launch that I am not sure I want to buy, or games that I know I don't want to buy but still consider to be must plays on launch.

Still, Amnesia is a big step up over both games, it really is great.

Only thing that annoyed me about the object handling in Overture was that you had to grab it from the extremity if you want to swing/turn an object at a decent rate.

I'll try to blast through Black Plague/Requiem next weekend then so I'm good for Amnesia.

Ordered Mass Effect 1 & 2 for my PC, should arrive this week. For those that played the PC version: should I use mouse/keyboard or a controller?

Can't use a controller unless you use a 3rd party program, I think. KB and mouse are great for the game. Just be warned, the controls change a bit from ME1 to ME2.

Just beat FFIV for the ds. Final boss wasn't nearly as hard as I expected. Then again, my entire party (save maybe 2 characters) wiping after each attack round was what I expected. Doesn't get too much harder I suppose. Probably going to move on to Devil May Cry 4 next since I <3 the DMC series but never really got around to playing 4.

Final boss as in canon, or one of the two optional bosses?

**Tekoa** · 2011-03-01 06:47

Canon. The optional bosses aren't going to rain on my parade just yet.

Just bought Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 "New"(aka used from gamestop) for 19.99. Never played the first one or the 2nd, and with the 3rd one looking so good, I had to get this for its price. So I'll be playing that, Bayonetta, MAG, and Fallout until May, which is apparantly the release date for Yugioh 2011 -_-

Picked up Gears of War 2 despite the fact I didn't like GoW1. (wut)
Picked up NBA 2k8 despite the fact I don't like sports games. (it was only $3.50)
Also got Darksiders and Lost Odyssey.

To get these games I traded in Bioshock 2 and Infinite Undiscovery. Bioshock 2 was amazing, much better than the first one. Except for the multiplayer.... which.... yeah. No multiplayer would have been better than terrible multiplayer. Infinite Undiscovery was getting repetitive and I couldn't find any fun in it.

Also traded in FFX (I have bought and sold this game 5 times. If I buy it again... aoihdlahsdlah), FFX-2 (not sure why I bought it again), and FFXII (not as much fun as I remember).

Bought Vagrant Story and Pixel Junk Shooters 2 today. Playing Vagrant Story now. Grabbed a PDF version of the guide for both it and Xenogears too =P

**Brimah** · 2011-03-02 23:24

Been playing Final Fantasy XIII, got to just before Gran Pulse 8 months ago and then my son was born and never got back into it... Really glad I went back to it. It was an okay game, but once I get to Gran Pulse, love it so much more. Going for Platinum on it, which will be my first.

After, going to play Xenogears or Vagrant Story... not sure which :3

just finished up Dead Space 2: Severed and Beyond Good & Evil HD. The latter took me about 10 hours to beat, but I've beaten it a bunch of times already... although playing in HD was fucking incredible.

Almost done with Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, which is wayyyyyy too fucking long. This shit is like a 40 hour game, which wouldn't be too bad if there was more loot variety I think. Overall I like the game, though does anyone know if Untold Legends: Warrior's Code is any better?

Also need to finish Call of Cthulhu and Enclave for PC, since I never played them on Xbox. Got about 15 other PC games/rpgs to play through soon. Maybe I'll fire up Divinity 2 or Oblivion on my xbox to get the 1 achievement I need for each.

Sly Cooper 1... boss fights are the harshest case of trial & error ever.

Brotherhood was the first one right? Bought that shit ages ago on my PSP for $19, and I have no fucking clue why I actually bothered playing it. I mocked nearly every aspect of it, and there was next to no challenge with the way I apparently built-up my character.

I guess I'm a masochist.

Anyways, as for me, my net was down for 12 hours today, so what better time than to bust out Just Cause 2 and continue grinding away at my completion rate. Trying to get it to 75% for a trophy, and am currently sitting at 58%. I don't know how I haven't gotten sick and tired of the game yet after 40 hours of this.

Also been playing some GT PSP on the side which I picked up for $4

Just finished up Valkyria Chronicles a couple days ago. What a phenominal game. From start to finish pure greatness.

Now I'm playing Haunting Ground for PS2 (on PS3) It's good ol' survival horror at it's finest. A genre that is quickly disappearing. It's freaky as hell, I must say.

I wish I had more time to play games I got like 1/3 into that game and RL got busy forgot about it a bit. I'll probably have to restart it at some point. There's so much awesome in that game. I wish there were more strategy RPGs with that mix of action control instead of gridding it up.

Sorry this feature requires a connection to 2k Sports, which is temporarily unavailable.

Times 2-3 every time I finish something. /rage

Currently playing too many games that I've had to stop buying new ones all together for a while because it is getting ridiculous. I have a terrible habit of stopping playing one game that I've almost beat to start another that I just got. The cycle continues and I'm left with several games that I haven't finished...

Currently playing:
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (XBOX 360) [Barely started]
The Witcher (PC) [10% complete]
Mass Effect 2 (PC) [Completed main game but haven't finished sidequests]
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (XBOX 360) [75% complete]
God of War III (PS3) [~80% complete]
Fable 2 (XBOX 360) [2 years and still haven't finished it. Like 50% complete]
Call of Duty: Black Ops (XBOX360) [20% complete]
Tales of Vesperia (XBOX 360) [90% complete]
Dead Space (PC) [50% Complete]
Mirror's Edge (PC) [90% compete]
Little Big Planet (PS3) [40% complete]
Miku Hatsune: Diva Project (PSP) [80% complete]
Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite (PSP) [10% complete]
Supreme Commander 2 (PC) [30% complete]
Super Meat Boy (XBOX 360) [40% complete]
Half Life 2 (PC) [20% complete]
Heroes of Newerth (PC) [Continuous]
League of Legends (PC) [Continuous]

I know there are more but making this list is getting depressing...

Finally got my Up close and Personal trophy on MAG. That's knife killing 15 people in one match, 5 times. It's no joke and I'm so glad it's over. Video coming soon to show how ridic' it is.

**Guyverarmor** · 2011-03-05 19:31
