Panzer Bandit. I paid 65$ for it, and it didn't disappoint me.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

inFAMOUS 2

While it for the most part improves over the 1st game, I miss being able to absorb energy when grinding along power lines. Also, the usual black and white effect when near death can go [tornado fang] itself.

Started on Find Mii II today, and the very first treasure chest got me a Yoshi hat.

Been playing Metroid Fusion. As soon as the power went offline on the ship. Difficulty spike, figures. One word: Yakuza.  -u-'

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Fate Stay/Night

So after I do the prologue I have to go through the same three days again with Shirou? At least now the prologue makes more sense.

Its not bad so far.

Playing Mario Kart 7.

Fantastic visuals and fluid racing. This just might be my 3DS favorite. I'll hop online once I complete more circuits.

Beat Hazard Classic on my Xbox 360 and I (sorta) learned how to get my brother's PC to stream my media to my console.

[spoiler=My Christmas gifts]Can't wait to rip the music from Otomedius Excellent's and Deathsmiles - Limited Edition's soundtrack into my Xbox 360 and see what kind of beast lies in music when I play them in Beat Hazard. And hopefully Rockin' Android's SUGURI Perfecti Edition soundtracks, too. ;)[/spoiler]

I completed Rayman Origins~ <3

Looking at the TrueAchievements ratio for each achievement, you can see how tough the game was.
I'm so happy I got it. >U< The game is so beautiful, the music is lovely, and the game made me laugh so much! XD
And the fairies are hip-shakingly sexy too~ :3

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Definitely seems to be a worthy sequel so far, but there's one minor thing that's really irking me. Every now and then I'll reach what seems to be a stealth segment, with Nate even muttering "Better do this quietly". But, despite that implication it seems getting spotted and having a large fight with enemies spawning everywhere is the only option. The one time I did manage to take out everyone quietly, the game refused to trigger the next cutscene, with my AI partner just sitting there doing nothing. Like, I know stealth wasn't a key point of the gameplay but, I feel.. I dunno, mislead. Maybe it's just my slight perfectionist instinct having just played through the Thief series.

Also played through Sonic CD on PSN today

The best thing it's got going for it is the music, really. The time travel gimmick is cool and all, but leaves the levels a nauseating clusterfuck. Wacky Workbench in particular just drives me nuts since I can't stand still for half a sec before getting shot to the ceiling at Mach 2. Stardust Speedway is also rather poorly executed in its gimmick I find. The famed Metal Sonic race ain't that great either. It's okay overall I s'pose, but now I'm definitely of the opinion that it's overrated.

I personally enjoyed Uncharted 2 far more, in terms of story and gun mechanics. I will admit that the added counter-combo system in 3 is a refreshing change, and much needed too. But the story sort of felt like they took an idea and just ran with it, not to mention the ending felt a bit anti-climatic. Uncharted 2's plot was much more fleshed out and presentable, and the gun mechanics felt more precise.

One thing in Uncharted 3 that stood out for me, however, is the superb online gameplay. Useful Kickbacks, booster options, amazingly detailed maps and other great mutliplayer content made the $60 worth it for me. Don't get me wrong though, I didn't feel Uncharted 3 was bad, but rather the single player campaign didn't live up to the expectations of the masterpiece that was Uncharted 2.

That's what I've been saying since forever.

The level design was almost as if they slapped it together quickly, and trying to Time Travel is inconvenient at times due to hills and various platforms in your way. On the flip side, the music is by far some of the best in the franchise, and I like the general dark atmosphere. Overall, Sonic CD is overated. It had a terrific concept, but was simply executed poorly.

Senko no Ronde.

This game just feels so unappreciated. I can understand people outside of Japan are not  the biggest Shoot 'em Up crowd, but why so much hate for this game. G.REV definitely tried to do something different and the masses are too busy with SSIV cop-outs to even care. The game's not bad at all once you learn the controls and how to play it. Jeez, I mean if anyone in the West can devote themselves to learn how to play Virtual-ON and all of its intricaties, then they should be more than capable to do the same with Senko no Ronde. Too bad there's no one playing the original (and the only person I know who plays this doesn't have Gold membership back yet) and the sequel is farking region-locked... Well just one more character to clear Story Mode and onto Score Attack.

Now to RE4: Wii Edition... </wii>

I remember hearing some mention of that. It's been ages since I played 1 or 2 though, so what's different specifically? Only thing about it I really notice is the sensitivity needs to be able to go higher >_>

Admittedly I haven't played the online for either game myself (I only borrowed Among Thieves, still haven't bought it).

Yeah... the game plays a hell of a lot better with Tails, which should've been available from the start as a Retain My Sanity Easy Mode or something.

Replaying through Pokemon LeafGreen/FireRed. This time without me being a dumbass (the last time I played the games I was 12-13, I'm 17 right now). Except I'm in a rut. I desperately need a fire type for my team! Better start training my Flareon!

I just 2-starred all of Mario Kart 7 today.  So far as 3-star ranks go, I'm missing 6 each in 150cc and Mirror.  Not sure if I'm feeling crazy enough to pursue them just yet.

Senko no Ronde.

Well, Cephi and I happen to love both the Senko no Ronde games. They are pretty fun. ^^

I'm playing DUO myself. :3

Shame that the media doen't see that way and threated the first game so badly, and because of, no sequel outside of Japan... wished they'd give DLCs for the first game, too... ;O;

I don't to intrude, but why hasn't Cephi accepted my friend request on Xbox Live?

Just started Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus

Can't beat the stupid Submarine Minigame but other than that I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

Also, finished the campaign in Uncharted 3, but I was unaware I have to pay $10 for multiplayer, so to hell with that for now.
