Thank goodness I skipped buying another PSP for the PS Vita this month.

Here's hoping Valhalla Knights 3 hits America next year. Also, a quick question...

If I plan to get the Wii U, should I just sell off my Wii? or keep it for the GameCube compatibility? I was thinking of selling my Wii because obviously no one cares about the Wii anymore since it has no games and with the Wii U coming out, I was thinking about selling mine due to the Wii U being backwards compatible with Wii games.

Just get the Dolphin emulator to play Wii+GameCube games, if your computer can handle it lol.

Ok, finished the Blackwell series. Ok as far as point-and-clicks go. Though it finished with a cliffhanger of sorts. All in all enjoyable but not the best in the genre, as far as other Wadjet games goes I enjoyed Gemini Rue better.

What's the game where the girls represent game consoles, made in Japan probably by Sega?

The only one that came to mind is Hyperdimension Neptunia, let me know if that's what you were thinking of.

They're even making an anime of that game. No lie.

Ok, finished Lone Survivor yesterday. Frankly, i'm surprised, this is a very good game, only problem being it is on the short side, but it nails the survivor horror aspect and in 2D no less which is quite a feat. I'm trying to get the second ending which is supposed to be better but more difficult since you REALLY have to avoid killing monsters.

I'd say it's a must for people who like the Silent Hill series.

which platform?

[Eddie]

PC, but apparently there's a PS3 and Vita version on the way with more content it should come out in July.

Also got started on Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which so far has been really good i'm liking it a lot sufice to say anyone who like Kart racing games should get this one it's awesome...
... and along with tranformed I got Hotline Miami which is fun but kind of a sick game in a schizophrenic kind of way, game isn't very long the gameplay is really fast paced which is also good for those who don't have much time in their hands, beated the 19 stages in 3 hours but there's an extra incentive to come back and make the A+ scores to unlock the masks and weapons which is where things get challenging since you have to get a feel for the areas and try to make bigger and more gruesome combos.

EA voted Worst Company in America AGAIN :lol:

...and ask them whether if they give a fuck about it, though.

I finished Siren: Blood Curse a couple of days ago, fantastic horror game. Japanese horror + Lovecraft = mindfuckawesome.

Since I want to avoid a relapse of my Skyrim addiction, I need to find a new game to play. Or I could continue The Cave, Sly 4 or Tomb Raider.

Got Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, which is basically a Complete Edition with menu fixes and balance tweaks, and a new area that Capcom said was impossible to be DLC for the original (I feel sorry for anyone that owned the original and bought the game for the shitty Dark Arisen quest). I don't buy for a second it couldn't be DLC for the original, basically a girl appears at the harbor in the first town at night, then when you talk to her screen goes black and you load into a new area. Apparently that was so impossible to implement Capcom felt the need to make a full re-release for it and make fans pay 40$ for a 5 hour "expansion" quest, double kick in the balls if you bought the DLC (having the DLC on disk is the only benefit of this rehash). For a company all about screwing people with DLC, I find it hard to believe they don't code there games to even allow them to allow such easy DLC implementation as that, unless Capcom's dev teams are truly that shitty.

Anyway has to be the most overrated game, by gamers, I have ever played. One of them times I actually agree with critics. Beating on a giant health spoonge enemy for 30 minutes, even when I have the best equipment you can get in that stage of the game, that has like 3 attack patterns isn't my idea of fun, no it is not.

Although there is 2 good thing about it. It makes me appreciate owning The Witcher 2, Dragon Age Origins, and Skyrim a whole lot more, and it makes me feel less stupid for owning Dragon Age 2 and all 3 Fable games!

Started to play Sonic Adventure 1 for the first time on my PS3, and even though I don't have the time or money to get the SADX add-on, I can live without it anyways.

While it's great to relive a game I played later in my childhood/later pre-teen years, I'm astonished that the graphics look crisper and cleaner thanks to the 720p output, but despite all of the crazy glitches happening here and there, I'm actually enjoying the game quite well. Brings back so much fond memories of me popping on my SADX disc to my gamecube and playing it all the time there.

I even had to start the game with Japanese voices + English subtitles and text given that I feel that the English voices don't fit well with me looking back at it, this is probably because of the lip sync, but who knows.

I got an Xbox again just to play Kingdom Under Fire again because I got sick of waiting for 2 (if 2 even ends up any good)/

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders Theme 2

Kingdom Under Fire Heroes OST 'Chaos'

To this day I adore it's heavy metal soundtrack, made it have a unique flavour from most fantasy games.


Otherwise I've been playing Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Trials Gold Evolution and Tomb Raider.
