I just completed Mass Effect 2, with the "almost perfect" ending. I only lost 1 character (Zaeed), and told The Illusive Man to shut up ^_^
Awesome game.
I just completed Mass Effect 2, with the "almost perfect" ending. I only lost 1 character (Zaeed)
I'd call that the perfect ending. I want the new DLC Overlord, I hear it's pretty good.
Anyway, playing Transformers from now till Crackdown 2....period. Campaign has some very epic moments, unfortunately I can't recommend the campaign to anyone who doesn't care about Transformers or to jaded people who don't believe in Transformers or the tooth fairy. It's incredibly liner and is literally the definition a corridor shooter. The bosses are fun and have variety in classic "Capcom" way. Exploiting weak spots and what not.
A lot of the campaign feels deliciously old school, you could turn this game into a great 2D platformer and get the same amount of enjoyment. It's certainly as tough as a old school game, I played though on normal with one friend and some of the bosses are really tough and there are some particularly hard areas.
The story is as generic as you'd expect and it leans heavily on nostalgia, one chapter of the auto bot campaign is just chock full of homages and references to the 1986 film. So when it comes to co-op make sure you bring friends that are interested in transformers or have at least seen the 1986 film in recent years. It really elevates the enjoyment you'll get out of the campaign. The witty banter and quibs that the robots have with each other is a absolute treat for fans (one line in particular with Starscream stands out)
The voice acting is top notch and the redesigns of the characters are fantastic, a great mix of Bayformers and G1 Transformers. The environments are a bit lacking, Brown, Grey and purple are colours choice here. Granted they try to drop some new stuff in to the mix and there are some fantastic "wow" moments that anyone with a sense of scope and art design can appreciate. Transformers G1 is one most colorful thing to come out of the 80s and it's a shame that palette couldn't be transferred in some form here.
In the end I was satisfied with the campaign (mainly because of the awesome credits) it was a decent amount of fun, couldn't recommend it for 40 pounds though to all you solo campaign players, while it's longer then your average story mode in the shooter genre, it just lacks variety and replayability, the linear nature of the level design and lack of decent colour palette would make it a decent rental at best. If you have two buddies (who hopefully know the universal greeting) you'll easily get 20 hours out of the campaign and escalation mode.
And if you like competitive multi player, Oh boy are you in for a treat. Unlike the campaign I would recommend the multi player to anyone who is interested in class based shooters, it's just so awesome. The sheer possibilities of mixing and matching skills, abilities and classes makes it really interesting and add the solid shooting mechanics on top (it does have a learning curve to the aiming) makes extremely satisfying.
So yeah Transformers: War for cybertron gets a thumbs up from me.

No sequel for Zaeed... :P Can't say I was fond of the guy, he was more like a bit of muscle until Grunt came along, then I'd have Grunt plus whichever character was best suited to the task at hand.
I've got all the DLC but haven't played it yet, I'm building it up so I can do a second run.
Anyways, I am currently playing:
Demon's Souls - Fantastic game, I'm enjoying it a lot despite it's extremely hard and unforgiving, but there is a degree of satisfaction when killing off multiple enemies in a single sweep or defeating that one big bad guy. It plays a lot like a no nonsense RPG, and is very "western" (as in, burly men in armour fighting dragons, instead of girlish men fighting cute things) considering it came from a Japanese studio. It kinda reminds me of Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom...only...good...heh.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Progressed a lot, I'm loving the structure of the missions and the recruiting and item creation systems, it's kinda rewarding to have a nice new gun waiting and ready for the next mission. It's probably the first MGS where I've been good at hiding and have seldom killed anyone during a mission, bar people manning and guarding vehicles. I can't wait to see how the Monster Hunter stages play, taking on a rathalos with a rocket launcher and assault rifle... crazy....:D
Hey, Circle of Doom was good, I think it's so underrated.
Demon souls is also awesome, I got pissed at first because I put two hours into just to find I messed up because I accidentally hit a NPC i shouldn't have, doh. I gave it another shot though and I do enjoy it a lot, the combat is designed as such so each hit gives a great impact and landing a successful heavy strike is so satisfying.
Finally get myself new Prince of Persia (Forgotten Sands). It sucks! Boring.
Playing Onimusha and SMG2. Onimusha is really great and I can't believe I missed it all those years ago. SMG2 is still great and is only getting better as it goes along. I'm now on world 4 :)

I bought myself BioShock 2 (brand new £12.99!) for the 360 yesterday, but that's not the only bargain I got.
I bought myself a PRE-OWNED copy of Alan Wake for £20, and guess what I found inside? An UN-USED card for the first piece of DLC. Luck of the draw, I know, but frickin' awesome.
Making good progress in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Resident Evil: Degeneration. Recently started on No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and A Boy and his Blob (the new one). They're all really good games.

Currently playing bayonetta. This game is designed by the same guys who created the earlier resident evil and devil may cry games. Well that's a guess, because the environments in all of these games are influenced by european architecture. It looks great, and the music is composed by RE2 composer, which is very cool.
The game is too short tough, and the main character (modeled after sarah pallin?) exhibits some erotic movements:help:, i don't like to see such stuff in videogames. But then you could say that she is trying to mimic a butterfly.
I got all 120 stars on SMG2 only to find that there's more to do. There's plenty more to look forward to guys :)
And now, on Onimusha 2, I just beat a demon version of Queen Brahne, who gave me a bit of trouble until I realised a simple forward x attack with the lightning sword makes the fight simple. That sword using demon is really annoying...he keeps making me use up my medicines; here's hoping there are a few healing items coming up :dry:
Bits of Left 4 Dead 1+2, Crackdown, 'Splosion Man and Alien Hominid HD.
Freq, you play L4D1+2 on steam or xbox live? If steam, give me your steam id please :)

I completed Bioshock 2 last night. Not as good as the first game, but still quite good. It certainly expands on the universe...given the ending I got (Good ending, best ending possible), there may very well be a Bioshock 3...would be good if there was, and it left Rapture...could be an interesting game.
I'll be starting Alan Wake soon enough.

Started playing Killzone 2 and got so addicted that I made it to the top 6% of the best players last week :D! Now aiming for the 1%! And I am still trying to level up every character in SSF4 to C :cool:!

Started Alan Wake last night...I was very tired, so didn't really concentrate...may have lost my progress by quitting to the menu.
I'll soon find out.
5 games and a movie is what they said after the success of the first.
5 games? Interesting...perhaps they'll take it closer to the original design for the first game (and Island with a cult living on it, etc). It'll be interesting to see where the storyline goes from here.
Making slow and steady progress in MGS: PW and Demon's Souls, both are very addictive.
Finally unlocked the Monster Hunter mission in Peace Walker, and it's extremely hard... I'm gonna need a bigger gun....
And Demon's Souls is always hard, not a bad game but it is somewhat discouraging to lose 15k souls due to rushing to get them and dying a second time...
I'm a glutton for punishment it seems, I must get a really easy going game next time...
hahah, I've been playing Alpha 3 Max on the PSP. It's amazing. Alpha 3 has to be one of my favorite ever games.

I'm currently playing Pokemon Ruby on the SP, and also Parasite Eve II on the PS1 also. Both awesome games, indeed.
:trolls:
Still playing the hell out of Transformers, fantastic multiplayer game.
Over the weekend I sunk my teeth into Demon's Souls and finished the game, then started a new character and completed it again.
First play through took me 20 hours second took me 7, the strategy guide that comes with the game is crap, the walk through is garbage and it's missing a lot of silly things (like where to find grey stone) it also has you believe that the easiest way to play the game is as a magic user which is bull. I must of died about a hundred times on my first play through as magic user I think I died less then 20 times as a barbarian melee and bow user on the second play through.
I gotta say, while I did think the game was good I also think it stupidly over hyped the review scores that some of favorite magazines and websites don't match up with my own opinions, it's not as deep as people made me believe. The game can be easily broken and most deaths are either silly and cheap (like a dragon blitzing a bridge when you had no warning) or are caused my frustration and janky controls (right pad to select bow, R1 to equip and fire, L1 to free aim R3 to lock on it's like metal gear 3 all over again) and the game has one of the worst lock on's I've ever seen, the amount of times I walked across a narrow bridge, saw a enemy clicked R3 and it locks onto a flying creature and I walk off the bridge, so crappy.
It's a decent enough game though, the online features are great, blood stains, messages and PvP it's all pretty creative and the combat is really fun, making a successful hit is so satisfying and has a nice impact. Loot and items are okay but large swords seem useless and short swords was kinda all I used. I pretty much used the crescent falchion through the whole game which was a little disappointing.
I wouldn't know how to rate this game, it does so much good but it also does a lot of things wrong I doubt I'll play again (not that I play any games after 2 playthroughs) but I could see the potential for some great new game plus content. So yeah, Demon's Souls, good game but overrated in my opinion.
Currentley playing through Alan Wake for my fatbox 360 Nightmare mode trying to collect all manuscripts but also playing Red Dead Redemption.
I want to finish atleast one of those two soon cus I have many games waiting for me that I have not picked up as yet but that I have,like Galaxy Mario 2 as an example which I have not opened the box as yet :P
Would love to play my 3D dot game heroes aswell as it seems so retro and homage to first Zelda.
I have one chapter left on my left 4 dead 2 aswell
Need to play through Mass effect 2 and Finish off Dragon Age Expansion pack.
but guess my mmo World of Warcraft takes too much time to get into the other games recently or rather always.
But at the moment as said its Alan Wake.

the strategy guide that comes with the game is crap, the walk through is garbage and it's missing a lot of silly things (like where to find grey stone)
Worth noting that, IIRC, the Guide you get with it was originally a fan project...as no official guide was released in America, the american fans started making one...and then it got put together for the UK release.
So it's an un-official-official guide...
I picked up Fable 2 again yesterday, original character...my bank topped up another 1574300 gold, so my total is now almost 6000000. I thought I found a building I didn't own, but it was just glitching and not showing the little scroll icon.
A few more things to do before I've gained 100% on the game...I'm on about 38 Gargoyles, out of 50...they're annoying.
Playing loads of Wipeout HD (thanks Plus!) and Persona 4 (thanks me from about a year ago!). Loving them both, and will probably force myself to get the remaining green stars on SMG2 :/

Im playing Wipeout HD a lot too, also thanks to Plus :)
Great game, but im dissapointed there was no content for Plus users this week....
Yeah, I was a bit gutted too. I wonder if the rewards will be as big as on the first week. There won't be a proper full game each week, like Little Big Planet, but I'm hoping there will be a big, £14 game each time. Would be nice :)
We'll have to race, so I can prove my Godly Wipeout abilities :p
I'm playing Super Mario, Adventure Island and Chip & Dale.
Except Wipeout HD, im playing FFVII(playing it for months now, such a LOONG game but well worth 9 euro) and HL1 - best game ever? Maybe i can finally beat that game!

Lost Odyssey, FINALLY! Taking it slow though. Such a depressingly sad game...
I'm guessing you just cleared disc 1?
Anyway, been playing a little Monster Hunter Tri, I'm finding it really hard to find groups to do HR40+ quests. I actually had one guy who was HR44 tell me he couldn't do a Agnaktor because he "he can't do it yet" the guy was higher rank then me and had better equipment yet he "can't do it yet" I said what are you talking about I've already killed like 5 of these then he said "sorry" and left.
Why did they have to release this game on the Wii, I know nobody that has a Wii AND likes Monster Hunter. I'm muscling through with pick up groups but so far it's not been as fun as the old PS2 days but back then I had a consistent group I'd play with and the people where so much more interesting, I remember have some great conversations with people back on in the PS2 days even with it's gimped chat box and Tri's chat box is even more gimped.
A part from that though the game is great and I would say it's the best MH game to date I just wish the community was there.
Should be going to pick up Crackdown 2 soon.

Heck no. When I say "slow" I mean an hour or two every few days....I've just been witnessing a few of his dreams. They're just sad! I'm still in Uhra!
The dreams are fantastic, best parts of the game. The actual game has some very emotional moments too.
I wish this game got more exposure, I said this when I completed it and I think it still holds: It's the best traditional JRPG this generation and the only RPGs I haven't played to completion this gen are White Knight Chronicles, tale of Vesperia and Blue Dragon.
The first disc alone makes a bigger impact then the entirety of Final Fantasy 13.
God what I wouldn't do for a sequel to Lost odyssey.

Yeah, I wish I could disagree, but FF13 was nothing compared with some of the other current RPGs out there...and even past ones.
And yeah, a Lost Odyssey sequel would be great; I'd just like them to work on the achievements a bit...collecting every treasure was a bit much, I thought.

Just to name a few which i have on the go now
I have a few games on right now:
The God Of War Collection - God Of War:
I have a well known dislike for God Of War, it's always credited as one of the original Hack and Slash games despite heavily ripping in to DMC. But I'll admit that my opinions back when I first got the original games have changed somewhat, I'm enjoying it for the right reasons.
MGS: Peace Walker:
Main game is finished, just mopping up parts for the extra ending and Extra Ops, I may redo some of the missions with a friend, we beat Rathalos together, it was one hell of a fight, but as I said "if a guy wearing what he just killed as a hat and using its spine as a broadsword can beat it, so can we!".
Bloody Roar 1&2:
Anyone remember teh Hyper beast fighting? It brings back some fond memories, and it may even help me improve my SSFIV skills, who knows...
Demon's Souls:
Taking a break from it, but its still around, making slow and steady progress, its somewhat hard to come up with a plan to obtain a weapon to actually beat something to beat something else with the soul obtained from the -BANG-
Wipeout HD:
I'm not big on racers, but Wipeout is an incredible experience, regardless of how good you are at actually racing, it must be tried at least once, playing zone mode to your favourite music track.
Whoops, almost forgot:
I've got so hyped over EVO that I've been playing SSFIV, helping beat the rust off poor Jarlino whose been without Xbox Live (or a decent PC) for quite some time.
I've finally finished Lost Planet 2, but I'll probably join some online campaign games because it's a good game. I've been playing Crackdown and Left4Dead 1+2 with a friend online, but he's just got Red Dead Redemption so whether or not I'll carry playing them I don't know.

I'm about 3 or 4 hours into Alan Wake so far.
It's good, but sadly doesn't live up to what they promised when they first announced the game.
No longer open world, for one thing, and effects (like weather) aren't anywhere near as fluid as they demoed all those years back.
Oh, and Lip Syncing is sooo bad...
But yeah, it's still a really interesting game, and I can't wait to see the rest of it...

Oh my god, I know what you mean. Racing along with the Persona 4 soundtrack is immense :D
I'm still playing Persona 4 and Wipeout HD, along with Pokemon Heart Gold, where I'm waiting for tomorrow to come so I can finally get a water stone over at the Pokeathlon. Need to evolve my Poliwhirl for the 1st Pokemon League :)

Im back on psp for now ^^ Imported 2 new games, Last Ranker and Fairy Tail Portable Guild. Fairy Tail is like mh without upgradin weapons etc, but u go into a guild and play with up to 3 friends ( 4 player multiplayer ).
Last Ranker still has to get delivered, release was yesterday in japan, so it will take a while til i receive it
Well I've had all week off work, so I was at my Sisters house playing, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel (PS2) and Tomb Raider Anniversary (I know still playing it but LP2 had taken priorty :D)
Now Playing RE5 Gold Edition, on my new to me PS3. And now I'm playing Left 4 Dead 2.
And tonight I'll be playing Resistence 2, just bought it at lunchtime :)

Alan Wake.
The enemies remind me of that spooky hookman from RE 3.5, Which is cool. I always liked to play that game. I'm not saying AW is a good alternative to re 3.5, actually re 3.5 looked better, and it was more scary. It's only the enemies that are borrowed from that unfinished game.
The game has an ultra-chaotic atmosphere. Out of place and loud music, overused visual effects and 'angry' enemies trying to beat the hell out of you. It's too obvious that the developers are trying to scare you and look cool. Anyway, i don't like it, and will sell it when my brother finishes the game.
Just Finished Limbo yesterday. Really great game.
Now playing various stuff, excitebike, hydrothunder hurricane...

A couple of days ago I finally completed Heavy Rain, and Alan Wake.
yesterday I completed the Alan Wake DLC 'The Signal' and it was great.
I also bought and completed Limbo on XBLA, another great game.
I was going through the Assassin's Creed 2 DLC, but was unimpressed by the fact that it glitched and the audio just didn't exist...

I finished Monkey Island 2 SE yesterday, 200/200 GS ^^ Did rent Naughty Bear today, awesome game but its kinda always the same... kill, stealth kill, speed kill, dont be seen etc. Still fun tho :D Also i got Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2nd on PSP ( LOL ! ). Its a game for girls i suppose, but its super hard on extreme ( its a rhytmn game, u press buttons to the music, not like a guitar hero tho ).
Waitin for Halo Reach !! :p
Playing:
Persona 4 - still loving it. Just beat the flying, scientist boss :)
Wipeout HD - Finishing off the Fury campaign; good times.
I'm gonna give that pinball game a go tomorrow too...the one that came with this month's Plus.
Hydro thunder hurricane! It's a good game, but I need more practice!
I've embarked into the original world of Fallout yesterday, got myself a wee laptop from work and I'm currently playing Fallout 1 with FO 2 & Tactics waiting in the wings.

Finished Naughty Bear yesterday ^^ Short game. Now im back to 50 cent blood on the sand, then i dunno what to play. Ill probably order hannah montana on xbox for 8 pounds on amazon lol.
Also pre-ordered Halo Reach Legendary and Assassins Creed Brotherhood Codex Edition.
I'd quite like to play some more Gears 2, but I'm not entirely sure where my game save is, so instead I cracked Dead Rising back out in an attempt to get some of the achievements that I'm missing.
I've been playing Monkey Island, and I'm now at the point I got to years ago on the Amiga!
And I can't get enough of Hydrothunder Hurricane, although I am a bit confused about the hidden packages.

Started to get a bit tired of Final Fantasy XIII (currently farming for Gil but it's taking so long), though I do still plan on obtaining the Platinum Trophy for it.
I'm now playing Bayonetta again for the first time in a while. Forgot just how crazy awesome this game is. Gonna get the last few trophies and Platinum this as well.
After I'm done with these two games I'll probably move on to whatever I buy next (possibly something I've yet to purchase yet like Batman: Arkham Asylum).

Just sell your items in FFXIII. Depending on wherre you're at sell those Credit Chips. They're not useful and have high value (for the stuff early on in the game, at least). Or, you could just finish the game and be done with it. Not exactly the best FF game to date. Or game.
A lot of Super SFIV lately. Was on it all night yesterday and wasn't even ready to go to bed...but had to, uggh!
ah, Batman...still got to get that myself. One day!

09-08-10, 11:48
I'm 98 hours in with FFXIII so the only way for me to make money now is to sell items obtained from Marks (like Gold Nuggets) or Oretoises (like Platinum Ingots). I'll end up selling a bunch of accessories that I know I won't need after I've upgraded them to their last tier.
I've got an extensive checklist (aka a page-worth of scribbles and crossed out accessories/catalysts and other stuff) of things I still need to get. Gradually getting there.
VERY TIRING!

LMAO, reminds me of Monster Hunter and all those envelopes with math all over them for Pokemon of all things!
Zen Pinball - I'm not that fond of console pinball games, but I've been enjoying this one. Lots of variety :)
Rayman 2 - As buggy as it ever was, but it's still as good as ever, regardless. I still prefer Rayman 3.
Persona 4 - I'm in Heaven and really annoyed at the enemies that keep killing my characters in 1 hit; damn Hamaon etc.

So...I managed to blag Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands collector's edition, brand new, for £13 on play.com
It turns up, I slot it in...2 days later I'm done.
And I have to say...it added absolutely nothing to the storyline of the SoT trilogy. It utterly failed on doing what it was inteded to do (filling in a 7 year gap in storyline by adding more and revealing stuff about the Prince...).
It was great as a platform game...the puzzling and platforming was just as intricate as Sands of Time, with great Water freezing abilities mixed in that just made some platforming sections insane...but the combat was "meh" and the storyline was just so vague.
I think it would have worked great as a standalone PoP game...but as a part of the SoT series, it failed to live up to the greatness of its elder brothers...
Now on to Dead Rising 2!
I've just completed Mass Effect 2 with my rich imported character, good game, made all the better because I had played the first one. Completed Resistence 1 & 2 just before ME2 as well.
What next though, not sure which game to play next :chin: Really just waiting for FO NV and Christmas to play DR2, Vanquish and Halo Reach etc etc.

FIFA 11 has been in my console since it came out at the beginning of the month. Great game.

Dead Rising 2, Tekken 6 and a bit of Rock Band Unplugged.

SFIV and Kingdom Hearts for me. Hoping to continue Lost Odyssey in a week or two, possibly start Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 which I got today (Minato!!!)
i'm prety much all about Castlevania: LoS. I'm playing Kingdom hearts: BBS and dante's inferno on PSP too. i usually take half an hour each to practice tekken and SSF4 as well.
Dead Rising 2, trying to make the Tiger to be my friend. Still no luck with the steaks strategy.
Dead Rising 2, trying to make the Tiger to be my friend. Still no luck with the steaks strategy.
A good strategy I found was to toss the steaks as it ran away, when it runs back, it'll start running, slow down, then eat the steak.
Also, you don't have to throw it, just drop it in a place between you and the tiger, it takes a good couple of minutes and a lot of patience to pull it off, it's dependant on the tiger's health too, so if she gets hurt, you'll have to leave and re-enter, and drop more steaks.
As for what I'm playing:
Halo 3 ODST and Halo: Reach, I've got a soft spot for Halo as of late for some reason, I need to satisfy my inner FPS Doug from time to time, will probably get Medal Of Honour eventually, on that note.
Resident evil 5, playing on veteran for the first time. I enjoy the game much more than the first playtrough, weird.
I also beat The thinker - bioshock 2 DLC. It was mindblowing!
Dead Rising 2, trying to make the Tiger to be my friend. Still no luck with the steaks strategy.
we will have to do some co-op.
My head set is not working properly though, I will see if i can get it working might be a tad hard for you to fully understand a Yorkshire accent though lol

Sure, I've disabled the co-op (set the privacy to private) because of the reports about the keys disappear from your inventory if you join someone else co-op game, so I think the best would be wait for a fix. Not sure about Yorkshirte accents, but the first (and only) time I was in London I was coming from the airport and the subway suddenly stops, the driver says a lot of things on the microphone, but I could only understand "this shouldn't take more than 20 minutes". So I do have a problem with London accent :(
I have done the same at the moment hoping for a fix.
But once that's up I will be good.
the accent should be fine, I know with a few people i have to repeat myself lol

Why ? You have 3 Slots. If ur just goin for the co-op achievement, save a single player game on 1st slot, and co-op only on 2nd slot. Then u load ur solo data when ur playin solo, and co-op data when playin co-op.
I have done the same at the moment hoping for a fix.
But once that's up I will be good.

As long as you talk slowly I think there's no problem. But if you start speaking fast my CPU overloads :D

Currently playing Dead Rising 2.
And I'm loving it.
It's like Dead Rising 1, but better. I've got about 10 in-game hours left before the military arive. Not sure how much longer the game lasts after that particular bit.
And, I've saved, like, 30 people...I think. I've saved loads, I know that much...compared to my pitiful 3 in DR1...
I've been playing Dead Rising 2, which is really good fun. However, I never played the first one, so the game mechanics to me takes some time getting used to.
I've also been playing Sengoku Basara, which I'm really loving. At first I felt the game was a little bit small and arcadey, but after playing it for a while there's actually a lot more to it.

Really? Zavvi have it for Monday.
I'm playing:
Dead Rising 2 - great game. Much better than the 1st, which I didn't like all that much.
Phoenix Wright 2 - Not quite as good as the 1st, I think. Still loving it though :)
Ocarina of Time...again - Still as good as ever. Got the Water Temple next; the only part that I hate.
Last Window - again, not as good as the original, but still up there with the better DS games.
Sonic 4: Ep 1 - Love it. Almost a complete copy of some of the older game stages, but just that little bit better imo.

Just completed Dead Rising 2 with the S Ending. Not bad for the first playthrough I'd say.
No idea what to do now...didn't think I'd go through it this quickly. Now I have a gap until Fable 3...
Currently I'm stuck on Alisa in Tekken 6's Scenarios Mode, so I'll try and do that. But I intend on playing some TF2 and MH3 until Fable 3 comes.

The time has come to lock urself up at home and play the games of autumn/winter :D

I'm still waiting for my copy of Vanquish to arrive. Zavvi have had stock issues so instead of getting it yesterday/today, I probably won't get it until Monday now. Absolutely ridiculous.
I've been playing a few games:
Halo: Reach - Very fun online and offline, the campaign is very polished and unique, other Halo games suffered because they used tricks from the previous games, it got old around the third attempt, but they've put together some awesome scenarios and a nice balanced set of guns and abilities.
Halo 3, ODST and Halo Wars - Motivated somewhat by Waypoint to earn some nice awards by getting achievements. Can't say I'm a diehard achievement hunter, but the promise of an ingame reward or nifty avatar award is a nice motivation, I wish more games would do this, its nice to challenge yourself for more than just prestige and a little number going up.
Super Street Fighter IV - Had a little break from it, came back for a few games, nuff said.
Fallout: New Vegas - Got it Friday morning, with Tribal and Caravan DLC. I wouldn't go as far as to say its the same as Fallout 3, but its very similar so far, the mechanics feel smoother and the weapons are nicer, but, its more of the same thus far, nothing encountered yet that sets it apart from Fallout 3, but I can't really judge it since I'm in the first few missions, I'm sure something awesome will emerge eventually while progressing, I just hope that my faith isn't misplaced...

Im on 4th Chapter ( of 5 ) in Vanquish now, 465G so far. Its so -If you know it's wrong, don't say it - funny :p I love that game. Its like bayonetta, but a 3rd person shooter. Everyone who likes shooters should try it. Trust me. Ull love it too ^^
And for Fallout NV..... everyone on my list is playin it, im jealous now lol. Stupid gemany gamestop sold all uncut copies..... gotta wait til they restock OR ill rent it. Dunno if i should rent or buy.... give me advice :D

Tried the Force Unleashed II demo last night. All I can say is WOW. The main combat isn't too different from the first game but additions like the Mind Trick really adds some hilarious depth to it. You can trick Stormtroopers in to jumping off ledges or to kill their friends (which results in a boxing match while you just stand there and watch).
What stood out most though, were the production values. My. God. Even for a demo it's one of the most impressive looking titles this generation. From the textures and animations, to the environmental affects, everything is sublime.
Regarding Vanquish, Zavvi have STILL not dispatched it. Screw it, I'm cancelling the order (really wanted to get the Limited Edition as an early birthday present to myself) and getting the Steelbook edition instead in town today. I'm fuming.

'Kay, so I'm finally playing Vanquish after picking up the steelbook edition earlier. Absolutely insane and brutal. I started on Hard mode for the best challenge from the off. If you fully utilise your skills, you'll do well but don't complain if you make a mistake as you WILL be punished. So awesome.
A lotttttttt of fun.

Medal Of Honor, I am highly disappointed with it though.
Currently playing Fallout New Vegas :)
I was a bit so so at the start but now I've got into it, excellent :D
Play couldn't get the game to my door for Friday, not pleased. I'd booked day off work so when I realised it wasn't coming I had to go to the local video store to rent it, so I was playing it on my day off and low and behold I was given the code for the Caravan Pack for free from the video store. So the code I get with my game when it arrives, yawn! I can sell on ebay:rolleyes:
I like the combat and the weapons, as I said I had to get used to changes that had been made to the game, but after that initial "oh I don't know" I encountered good strong opposition and thats when the game started proper, good stuff but its hard to kill Deathclaws when your only at Level 4, serious depletion of ammo. Opinion, Different but the same and once you're rockin & rollin, its a great game. Has music from the earlier Fallout games as well which is nice to hear, glad I played those games. I like that Cowboy Repeater, good weapon.:thumb: The game itself started me on the Hard Setting so I've just stuck with it :)
I'm playing Layton: The Lost Future. It's been improved so much :) . I still prefer the story and characters of Curious Village though.
Also playing Zelda: OoT again, which I'm loving; I'm just at the entrance of the Shadow Temple too, which is my favourite :D
Still playing Last Window off and on, but not much to be honest.

CSI Fatal Conspiracy. Did rent it yesterday evening, finished 10 mins ago. 1000G. CSI games r great ^^ I love detective style games, i wish there were more.
Now hmm, back to Arcania i think, maybe renting Fallout NV, Saw 2 or Fable 3.... Dunno yet lol, theres too many games atm :p
Beaten Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. It was fantastic. Just finishing off Metroid: Other M, which is really fun. And I've started Vanquish, as directed by our good friend Mikami-san. Enjoying that so far.
On the handheld front, I'm playing Taiko: Drum Master DS 3 and Rhythm Paradise. Yeah, I love my music/rhythm games.
Oh, and Higurashi When They Cry: Watanagashi-hen if you're counting that as a game.
I feel sad that I don't really have any Capcom games I'm currently playing. Sure, there's Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 4, but...

Dead Rising 2 and Fallout New Vegas. Although there hasn't been much zombie killing since i got hold of NV, I've just worked out that it's more accurate to manually aim my sights than use VATS. So satisfying to get a sneak attack critical headshot without VATS.
Playing:
Majora's Mask: Played up to the 4th temple once before, but couldn't be bothered with all the collecting stuff (rupees, bombs, arrows etc) in order to progress. Started again now and have done the easy stuff; I'm up to trying to stop the baby goron crying. Not my favourite Zelda, to be honest.
Lost Future: Finished the main game...going around finding puzzles now. Not bad, but the ending was a bit disappointing, I thought.
Phoenix Wright 2: Trying to get through the last case. Enjoying loads :)

Majora's Mask - trying to remember how to learn the lulluby to make the giant goron fall asleep...
Lost Winds: Winter of the Melodias - Just as stunning as the 1st, with a bit more strategy added :D
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - Way too repetitive. I know it was made as an easy RPG, but that doesn't mean it had to be quite so basic and boring...

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep still. Finally finished the game with Aqua. Did the Final Chapter thinking "Oh hey optional boss!" even though there was too much story for it to be an optional boss. Turns out it was a legit boss that still whooped me (Critical mode, rememeber).
So, now fighting the first optional boss proper. So. Annoying! One hit KO basically. A real nightmare to fight with Terra. Apparently it's ridiculously easy with Ven and even Aqua. Hopefully I can beat it today and fight the next boss...who I hear is even worse.

L.A Noire
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Assassins creed Brotherhood
Out of all these games i would recommend L.A Noire it's only single player but every detail is perfect even the motion capture, and the graphics brilliant!
But would also recommend all three games, but since there is more games to come out in 2011 such as:
Resident evil Operation Raccoon City
Elder scrolls V: Skyrim
Battlefield 3
Gears of war 3
Assassins creed revelations
I would probably save up some money.
@Starsrocklikeme: Nice choices! :) ...I too am still addicted to the online battles on Badcompany 2 (and patiently wating for battlefield 3 to come out).
I'm also currently playing Dirt 3, Super Street Fighter IV AE and my brother is down this weekend so we'll probably fire up the tmnt, smash tv and Mavel Vs Capcom arcade machines. :)

Though i was thinkin of renting dungeon siege 3 see what its like if its worth picking up wen the prices drop :chin:
I've been playing Alan Wake recently. Really got into it, what a great game. And I started by disliking it!
inFamous - great pick as the free ps3 game, when i played the demo a year ago i didnt like it but man, what an awesome game it is!!
I've played Bioshock2. nice but you see the differences between a sequel made "on commission" and a sequel made by the guy who created the first game.
Bioshock2 was developed by another team and it is a nice sequel but nothing else than a "more of the same". Ken levine works on a new Bioshock and the entire world where the game is set changes.
go on Ken....I'm waiting for Infinite.

I'm currently playing:
God of War HD - This is my first time through the game and there are parts that are genius...and parts that are tedious and boring.
I've just finished:
Zelda OoT 3D - Even better than before, as hard as it is to believe :)
Infamous 2 - Very similar to the 1st game in the series, but with higher quality in general.
Soon will play:
Uncharted 1 - Only now getting around to lending this one, and am hoping the game hasn't been hugely hyped up for no reason...
Mercs - if it arrives in the post tomorrow :rolleyes:

recently got n completed Dungeon Siege III, which was great on first play-through, a definite buy for RPG fans, of course Skyrim is looming on horizon but for now, DSIII is the best console RPG after Final Fantasy XIII .. a little review ..
The game I ALWAYS play is Street Fighter IV, got AE on day 1 as DLC, even travelled quite distance get PSN money cards, also got me some cool Capcom avatars, Abel and Chun-Li (Street Fighter) and Nero (DMC 4) I know rock Nero as avatar on PSN cool
Other thn that i am in bit slump can't quite find the energy for it, been like that since yesterday i am bit worrie tbh. lol
ps. got Gran Turismo 5 at half-prize local book-store is closin down console section :( everythin@ half-price :(:(:(:(
my favorite game all time is Street Fighter IV (all edition), Resident Evil 5 n MGS4: Guns of the patriots ... and I have Marvel vs Capcom 3 but mostly watch it on streams, i love fight game streams, MvC3 is just amazin on streams simply love watchin tha stuff ..
I'm currently playing Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube.
I've finally managed to pick it up along with the strategy guide for a good price, and i'm really enjoying it.

I love that game! My favourite Tales game so far, although I've never played Abyss and that's coming to 3DS soon. Symphonia is a lot better than Vesperia anyway, I feel.
I've now tried Uncharted 1 and I'm loving it. I'm hoping there'll be more parts with fewer enemies though, like in the 1st few chapters.
Mercs is also going well, although I'm on mission 4-3 and can't seem to get higher than a B for some reason.
DSIII is the best console RPG after Final Fantasy XIII ..
So it sucks?
Haven't played anything much recently except Metroid Prime M and MH3 a few times.

i <3 all games!
Just beat Shadows Of The Damned.
Good game, recommended if you like RE4 and want something a little arcade-y, best taken lightly though.
Beat Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow yesterday night.
It was enjoyable, but under any other name it wouldn't be Castlevania, the ending was way too random for my liking, and the DLC epilogue was just plain stupid. But everything else was a competent blend of action, platforming and puzzles with a decent enough mythos running through it.
Currently playing MK9, online and off, can't wait to get Kenshi tomorrow (Hoorah, Season pass!) and the free skins. I've beat it with all characters so its nice to get some fresh periodical characters with different styles.
I still have Fable 3 and Dragon age 2 to make progress in, as they kinda got sidelined by the new games I bought.

Its not really survival horror, just horror themed with some creepy stuff thrown in there. Ammo and health is plentiful in the normal mode, I'm guessing it'll probably be more like survival horror on a harder setting, but I've not played that yet.

Capcom have done RPGs. A series of them called Breath of Fire. Play the 4th game in the series for PS1 if you like JRPGs :)
I LOVED FFXIII
I guess someone had to :P
Seriosuly though, JRPGs are actually my fave genre. FXIII as a main series entry sucks. I loved the chars, story, music, but totally hated the gameplay. Final Fantasy Ultimate Corridor Simulator XIII would have been a better title.
If you think it's the best console RPG ever, you really need to play more of them.

Skyrim and Minecraft on the PC
And I'm borrowing a copy of Arkham City for the PS3, but I've not really gotten into it.
I'm playing:
Little Big Planet 2: Much better than the 1st, but I'm having loads of problems connecting to other random people. I keep getting messages like "Failed to connect to players" or the other people are setting their connections to auto-reject invites: it's a community-based game people! Don't reject invites from everyone! :p
Tales of the Abyss 3DS: Veeeery slow beginning and nowhere near as good as ToS so far. In all fairness I'm only about 3 hours in, but this is a slow opening even in JRPG standards. And that Tear is possibly the most dull character I've ever seen. The battles and music are decent though. The game's still better than most modern RPGs.
