Finally got 100% on Trinity Universe. Story wise I loved it, especially the original characters.

Trophy wise it was total bull [parasitic bomb].

[Gotham Ranger]

Devil May Cry 4

[Phi]

Batman: Arkham City

My. God. This [parasitic bomb] is a masterpiece, and I'm only a few hours in.

You feel like The Dark Knight. Kudos, Rocksteady.

[Gaia]

Mega Man: Doc Wahwee's Whewenge.

GOD I LOVE THE MIRROR BUSTER. Everytime I want to whip Wily's second form, I just bring out the Mirror Buster, 'cuz it's mandatory, and I love it. One of the best ranged weapons in the entire series for me now~

[Superjustinbros]

Twin Squash for the arcades. A little under-rated gem from Sega.

[VixyNyan]

Finished playing Sam & Max: Save the World (Season 1) and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (Season 2)~

Just like Sam & Max: Hit the Road, it was pure "bliss" and a very funny adventure all the way.
I laughed through both games, I love the humor and the well-written dialogs, funniest games this year for sure~

I'm going to play Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse (Season 3) soon too~

[Hypershell]

Decided to jump back into Legends today, this time utilizing ePSXe and some nice upscaling (and infinite zenny in L2, 'cuz kicking the crap out of King Miroc gets old after a while; I think Tron was onto something with Roll and her weapon upgrade pricing...).

Unfortunately, Misadventures is infamous for the temper-tantrums it throws during emulation.  Quite a shame, I was excited after finding that U.S. SB41 save.

[VixyNyan]

Yea, the black screens in Misadventures is random, but it is still playable, if you can get past them.

I recommend to play on a real system tho. ^^; I'm happy that the Kobun 41 save file is put to good use.
Sharing the Japanese one was a good thing, so that it could be hacked to a USA save file later. ;3

[Protoman Blues]

I'm playing Arkham City. I am 1000% loving Arkham City.

[Mirby]

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. Just got to Twilight Town finally, and having flashbacks of the GBA version.
Also some FFX-2; on Chapter 5. Gonna have to utilize dat NG+ though.

[Gaia]

Pac-Attack (GBC).

Got only so far as to Stage 26. Got a looong way to go before gameplay mechanics end up changing on me again.

Your odds seem to improve with different Sound/CDRom plugins; something to do with how the voice lines are read from the disc, I believe.  Finally got by after some tinkering.  But yeah, original hardware is best, it's too much of a crapshoot otherwise.

But, for any who like myself lack a Gameshark/DexDrive, I attached an ePSXe memory card file with #41 and the intro stage already cleared.

[Bueno Excelente]

Sonic Generations, on a friend's hacked 360.

[tornado fang]ing awesome so far.

[Nightwalk3r]

just finished ghost trick.. took me about 5 days.. and every day i dreamt of playing the game.. geez.. i was that into it.. anyways great game

[Gaia]

Played Skylanders 3DS for a bit. It's okay, I get a feeling that I get that Spyro's design gets as much bitching as Sonic's green eyes complaints.

Anyway, levels (Highest to Lowest):

Dark Spyro: Lv5
Chop Chop: Lv4
Stealth Elf: Lv3-4
Inferno: Lv2-3

[Mirby]

Rogue Galaxy

[Gaia]

They've gained a couple of levels since I last played Skylanders..

Dark Spyro and Chop-Chop are both Lv8, with Stealth Elf not too far behind. Again, Eruptor is the lowest leveled character since most of the elemental-oriented challenges focused on Air, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, Tech, and Earth so far. Only at least twice I had to use him for the fire elemental challenge and the fire elemental challenge.

Dark on the other hand, due to the daily elemental EXP boosts was on magic and water, I took advantage of that by putting him on the second slot for the remainder of the playthrough, while Chop-Chop did most of the work. Since this is DARK Spyro, my guess that most of his combat was a hit-and-run stradegy, like most randged characters.

I seem to be more direct though, so Stealth Elf, Eruptor, and Chop-Chop were suited until the Hecktor challenges, which require you to speedrun a level within a certain time limit, with that you need a faster character, oh well. At least there are two chapters 100% done in two levels.

DBZ Ultimate Tenkaichi

The voice acting sounds like they simply took voice clips from DBZ (old voices) and Kai (new voices), and the character creation is lackluster and limited (but, with this being a first for a DBZ game, it's forgivable).

It'd be familiar to Torigeeks (Akira Toriyama fans who play just for his work) that have played the Dragon Quest games that had this type of customization before.

Meanwhile, I recently aquired Sonic Boom, which if I recall, is a griffin who lives up to his name. Hold the B button and he sends foes that fight close range flying, plus his air elemental prowess also helped with the elemental challenges, which brings me closer into completing the intro stage. I still need three more elements though (earth, fire, and tech) and I could manage that.

Skylanders can be considered to be a completionist's dream (or nightmare, considering there are 10+ characters to buy physically, which seems to cost $7.00 a piece) and each level contains three levels and a pair of challenge levels (which is indicated by a small, inclosed area) with their own tasks to partake. Each earning you a crystal if you complete it. So far the hardest bit was avoiding the cactuses due to the icy terrain of the obligitory ice world.

And time for a Level Update:

Dark Spyro is now Lv10, and can't go any higher.
Chop Chop's also maxed to Lv10.
Sonic Boom has had a huge level boost, so he's Lv5.
Stealth Elf is only Lv6.
And Ignitor is only at Lv4. Guy's got a long way to go..

[Reaperoid]

Apparently Skylanders is a good game? The main issue I seem to have with it is the fact that figurines = lives, and that you need to shell out more on top of an already expensive game for more 'lives'.

[Gaia]

They've also bitched about Spyro's design, and that quite raises an eyebrow. Of course one has to buy all the characters, but you'd have to be mad for that.  

Plus Radiance is the currency, so if you can die once another Skylander can take over until you fork over the Radiance to revive your fallen Skylander. Died quite a few times for certain prediciments, at the end of the task, get to the goal, since they give you a time limit to leave the stage once you finish the appointed task(s). It's also good for upgrades and whatnot.

At least they got rotating platforms down, that can present quite a few intresting challenges if properly placed. It's just good platforming with a diffrent gimmick, which is all I can say. My final opinion will come once I take out Hecktor, though. He's on the 3DS, on the consolse you just fight Kaos, who sounds an awful lot like Invader Zim..

^ Abusing the marquee tag much?

[Gaia]

Well, I finished Sola to Robo... wait. AWW CYBERCONNECT2 NOT THIS EPISODIC [parasitic bomb] AGAIN (you know how they work)! 

Yeesh, at LEAST I'll have a game I can play for awhile. I wonder how many episodes are in this game..? Been a week since I played Skylanders.

[VixyNyan]

I beat it twice. First the Japanese, then the European version.
