The only thing that I don't like about DCUO on PS3 is that PC users get to pay for a lifetime subscription. The most we get is a year and then we go back to not getting DLC for free.

And still no luck on finding Mega Man V. O well.

$19.99 on eBay for just the cartridge. Dont know how trustworthy it is, but its something.

Wrong one. I need the Game Boy one, which is a whole lot rarer. I've seen them for $80 for only the cartridge.

Thanks anyway tho

Uh, there is no Lifetime option for PC users. Unless you mean Autorenew, but they should have that for PS3.

It's happening it's happening IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Up to Blast Chamber, in particular the part with the really huge fan.

I thought there was. Oh well.

The Legend of Dragoon.
Well, I got the dragon block staff. And I even went back to kill that sub-Virage. And then I got to thinking, I could be WAY more powerful right now. So I decided to restart the game. I know, lame. But I decided to not run from half of the random fights that happen and to work on my addition attacks to raise my Dragoon level. And I got so far, but I decided that this is the right thing to do.

I know for a fact Star Trek Online has that, a one-time payment for lifetime subscriber access, but DCUO doesn't.

RAGE
GAME.OVER!
So... Rage... um... I feel somewhat let down. The game is technically well done and I did enjoy a lot of it, but by the end I felt somewhat empty. The pacing wasn't very good, so I somehow found 17 hours worth to be seeming a lot shorter. The final mission was a complete let down. No Uber-mutant boss battle (despite an NPC making comments about something 60 feet tall), no evil authority leader monologuing. As it stands, I still don't know what the Authority's command structure is.
Decent game, but really needed a better plot to make use of its well done game engine. Moving on to F3AR next

The reason I haven't played Rage is because I already own all the Fallout games. And that's literally what Rage is, just replace a nuclear exchange with a meteor, and remove the 1950s charm, and all you have left is Rage.

Black Mesa:
Up to On A Rail. I just realized I haven't talked about how amazing this is yet, so I will.

They didn't just take the base game and add a shiny new coat of paint to it, they added to it, stuff that actually really works. Isaac Kleiner and Eli Vance both appear early on, referred to by name (Well, calling each other Eli and Izzy) and with unique models, tying it in to HL2 better. The original music is gone, due to licensing, but the new music is fantastic, and really captures the feel. (No crazy techno-beat when you put on the HEV for the first time, oddly enough) A lot of areas have been redesigned, but everything still fits together, and it looks more like an oversized science facility then, you know, a bunch of video game levels.

tl;dr version: It may have taken eight years, but it was more than worth the wait. They took Half-Life, gave it a face lift, a tummy tuck, a hair and make-up job, then, for good measure, they injected it with an extra bit of soul. A remake that's actually superior to the original, if you can believe that.

I'd like to disagree with you on the Fo3 comparison, but the Ark/Vault and Authority/enclave comparisons do validate your argument to some extent. It's not the same game as much as the same setting though since Rage is a shooter whereas Fallout tends more towards RPG elements.

FEAR 3
Cleared the first level by escaping a prison facility with the help of my dead brother. Things blew up, I fell down a sewer and wound up in a slum in a nearby town. Shot my way out and commandeered a helicopter, which I abruptly crashed. Point man needs some pilot training review courses.

I've heard Rage compared to a bunch of different games. The story is repackaged Fallout, and TVtropes almost constantly compares it to that and Borderlands, near the end admitting that game is pretty much Borderlands, Fallout, and Bioshock all fused together.

That game makes me amazingly unhappy. Never mind the radical and unnecessary change in gameplay, it's that they build up story elements and never actually do anything with them. "Alma is pregnant, the baby is the Antichrist, the end times are near." Despite Alma's pregnancy being referenced frequently, and the biggest "Oh Crap" moment in the last game, and the focus of the marketing, the Third Prototype doesn't factor into the game at all. Oh, and never mind that Alma dies in the most anticlimactic way possible, the final boss is the manifestation of Harlan Wade, because apparently Alma still scared of a guy she effortlessly killed in the first game. Literally the whole game is a big slap in the face to Alma and the last two games.

Mega Man Xtreme 2: Soul Eraser (GBC)
I just have to finish this game on Xtreme Mode before I can do any projects with it. Besides, I've had this game for 10 years or so and still haven't completed it.

With all 8 Mavericks selectable and being able to switch freely between X and Zero it's still no cakewalk. I managed beat these so far:

• Neon Tiger (from X3)
• Launch Octopus (from X1)
• Volt Catfish (from X3)
• Flame Mammoth (from X1)
• Wire Sponge (from X2)

5 down, 3 to go: Blast Hornet, Overdrive Ostrich and Tunnel Rhino. And let me tell you: Sub Tanks are my friends.
