I would play PC games but I don't feel like upgrading my computer everytime a game comes out. Or I would download mods left and right. Did you know for Arkham City PC, someone made a mod where it's a Spawn skin?

Personally I don't use mods, I prefer to play the game the devs made. Someone called me crazy for it, for enjoying a game without modding it so much it's not even the same game. But then the same guy said Oblivion and New Vegas and Dragon Age were awful and designed solely to be modded, so what the hell does he know?

Sonic Adventure 2:
BEATEN! Not as good as a good Mario game, still fun, though. Even if I did have my rose-tinted glasses torn of, smashed, and the broken glass being jammed into my eyes.

DC Universe Online:
Okay, no real progress (My main is up to CR66, but that's about all) but oh my God we're getting Lairs.

Star Wars: The Old Republic:
My Consular is now rocking out on...Hoth. Hrm. I have not yet had to sleep inside a tauntaun for warmth.

Hmm. I need to move my PS3 closer to my router. And then get Legendary again. So far all I had for the DLC for DCUO were the Green Lantern and the Flash based Downloads. And the Christmas one. The last time I checked, I had so many snowballs I haven't thrown at people yet.

I haven't upgraded my PC (aside from hard drive space) for years. PC games really don't get enough dedication from developers. The games I buy seem to always be console ports and my computer easily maxes them out. Maybe I just overupgraded way back when. who knows?

Spider-Man Edge of Time
GAME.OVER!
I enjoyed this game. It had many, many flaws and some frustrating moments. It even gets self-referential when Spider-man (modern) asks why all his tasks are done in threes (switches, collections, etc) yet continues to do this.
But all is forgiven for the story and interplay between Spider-man and Spider-man 2099. I just had a lot of fun watching these two banter and play off each other and the story itself was decent enough to see me thorugh the game.
Not bad for only $10.

Crysis 2

GAME OVER! i mean game finished....that was really bumpy ride, this is one of the few games that have a story and an ending, i thought the Linear FPS Genre is doomed because of all of them being the same (tell me the diffidence COD, Battlefield, Medal of Honor) and their B-Movie Storylines (Terrorists, Bombs, Attack, War, etc..) But at least there is a Linear FPS with good story.

I Have my Fingers Crossed, i am trying to get my hands on Borderlands 2 in Libya......

Earthworm Jim 3D:
it's on my games list and I haven't beaten it. So...yeah. 16:9 resolution is available by default, which is nice, most older games don't allow that without messing with the ini.

Completed Memory damn near flawlessly, all marbles, just one udder missing, zero lives lost. Woo.

Chrono Cross:
Decided to start over, this time using a guide to make sure I don't miss anything. Went to the alternate universe (No goatees!) and turned down Kid's offer for a team-up, only so I could recruit Leena instead. (Kid can be recruited later, anyway) Next, on to Fossil Valley. This game gets a bad rap for not being a "true" sequel to Trigger, but Cross almost constantly references the first game. (I gave a fangirl squee when I heard Cross' victory fanfare, Lucca's Theme)

Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA port)
GAME COMPLETED! I had this one laying around for a while, so why not? Just a few Banana Bird short after I gave up on the insanely long Simon Says puzzles. But thanks to some "cheating" (I used the numeric keypad plus Notepad) I finally got the job done: 103%.

By the way, I'm now Perfect Running the Mega Man Game Boy games I have, meaning no damage and Buster only (got the idea from YouTube). Thing is, already I've hit a roadblock: the Changkey Makers or Hotheads and their remarkable aim. Anybody know of a fool-proof tactic to get past them without glitches or special weapons?

[Rex Prime]

Since Borderlands 2 Nor Transformers FOC hit the libyan stores i picked up that old Starcraft II Disc and continued my old save, i finished that game but that was a few years ago and the game is worth a replay, and i bought The Amazing SpiderMan, i heard it isn't like most Movie Tie-in Crap

Starcraft II

Grabbed that old save of mine, finished the train raid and picked up another Artifact from the Protoss, i helped tosh to get Terrazine from guess who? The Taldarim (stupid protoss faction) finished the first mission in the crystal Zeratul gave me, Won two skirmish battles too

The Amazing Spider-Man

finished the first two chapters, i got hang of the really close camera, it's too close to Spider-Man at the first, but after i get hang of it it actually becomes a positive thing, as it really makes me feel i am Spider-Man, or at least let me say wow when i first began roaming the city, i already collected enough comic pages for two full Spider-Man comics, old times....

Infamous 2

I already played the first game and beat it twice, once with the good ending and once with the bad ending. I'm playing 2 now and I already beat that once. Now I'm playing it again for the bad ending. I'm gunna trying to platinum it which shouldn't be hard. It seems alot easier than trying to platinum 1 Which I'm still trying to do. After, I'm gunna play Festival of Blood. I know it doesn't go with the other 2 games and this is just some bulls*** that Zeke makes up for some stupid reason, but I'm gunna 100% that too (it doesn't have a platinum trophy on PS3).

[The Happy Locust]

I always lose track of where I left off. So let's try my luck.

Xenoblade Chronicles
Helped Melia survive her trial in the temple. Afterwards, went on a scavenger hunt for supplies to restore Colony 6. The colony is now at level 2 restoration. Will hit level 3 when I get more time.
Returned to the High Entia capital and pleaded my case to the Emperor. Afterwards, found he had left to Prison on his own. My lead character's vision says this was a bad idea, so we decided to go after him. Too bad we have to unlock seals on the gateway before we can reach the island.
Oh, and the Mechon have launched a full scale assault.

Assassins creed Revelations
After crashing a party dressed as a Lute player, made friends with a royal family member, who directed me to a possible templar influence. Incited a riot to gain entry to an armory and found that the templars have been stockpiling.
Elsewise, all dens are now assigned master assassins and I was granted an unbreakable armor for my trouble. Found the lost pages of a deceased assassin, found his tomb under the Hagia Sofia and got ANOTHER unbreakable armor set. Whee!

[Wigglez]

Infamous 2

I beat it with evil karma and now I have to play it a third time because I didn't set the difficulty to hard before restarting it. I just need 2 more trophies to go to get the platinum.

[The Happy Locust]

Xenoblade Chronicles
Made it to Prison island and found that the prisoner was a giant. I released the Giant so that he could power up my blade. I then made short work of the attacking Mechon but this revealed a startling secret. Also watched someone else die. Well, you win some and you lose some.

Assassins Creed: Revelations
On the prince's behalf, took out a traitor. Only problem is that when I killed him, I found out he wasn't a traitor but was trying to bring down the enemy by pretending to work with them. Oops.
Side mission wise, found the 4th Masyaf key in an offshore tower that involved a falling rock puzzle. From there, Relived one of Altair's memories from when he was 82. So I'm reliving a genetic memory of an ancestor who is reliving the genetic memory of another ancestor.

At some point this will go Inception on me and we'll find the entire assassins creed story is taking place in the far future and is the result of a 2205 assassin reliving Desmond's life.

[Shadowman]

Actually, Ezio is confirmed to not be descended from Altair, nor is Conner.

That's impossible. I haven't played Revelations yet so I can't play 3 yet. But How are they accessing their DNA memory if it's not in their DNA? That's crazy talk.

Dishonored
I've played this and beat it. And with only 37% of the trophies. I totally love this game. My favorite power is the devouring swarm where you can summon a bunch of rats and they attack nearby enemies. My brother is playing it now but when he gets done, I'm going to go through a second play through by killing nobody.

I'm with Wigglez. In context of the story, that defies all established continuity and explanation of genetic memory.

The Masyaf Keys (Which are First Civilization tech, like the Apples) don't use genetic memory. What Ezio is seeing are memories Altair embedded in them himself.

...I kinda want to play through the Ezio Trilogy again now...

What about AC 1,2, and Brotherhood where Dezmond hasn't touched the apple but still is able through the animus? Especially when the animus is only used to amplify the DNA memory. I have to replay everything. Anybody else have the comics of the other guy. I forgot his name and the comic is buried somewhere, but it's about the Russian assassin

I'm...not sure what you're asking me. Altair recorded a selection of memories onto the Masyaf Keys, Ezio viewed those memories, thus his visions would be imprinted on his genetic memory, and viewable by Desmond. The Animus views genetic memories, but the Masyaf Keys just show whatever is printed on them.

Infamous 2

I'm half way through the game on my third play through. This time, I started it on hard so I can finally get that trophy. After I beat the whole thing again, then I'll be looking for the blast shards. And I'm still waiting for my brother to finish Dishonored so I can start playing that again.

MGS 4

SUNLIGHT! Unlocked the Solar Gun. Really fun weapon! Not as fun as Tengishima though.

Asura's Wrath

Trying to S Rank "A New Cause"

I swear, it's impossible! I can get 100% Synchronization Rate just fine, what gets me is, I need to hit Asura enough to get at least 7000 Battle Points.
The grading goes as fallows:

Time

Battle Points

Synchronization Rate

The problem here is, in the time it takes to get an S in battle points, I'll get a B in time. Or, if I whip him real quick, I get an S in time, but a B in Battle Points.

There is no way around it! I need to get both, but there isnt ANY way to hit my aponent more in less time. What the hell do I do?

Anyone have any tips?

[The Happy Locust]

Assassin's Creed Revelations
GAME.OVER!
Ezio's jaunt to Constantinople ends with a forsaken prize, a bowing out of Ottoman politics, but an Italian redhead. So overall, a plus.

Incidentially, I found what Shadowman was referring to earlier. One of the developers stated that Ezio and Altair are both Desmond's ancestors, but are from different sides of the family. Distant cousins, basically. Can't say I agree with this interpretation but the producers have made it canon so can't exactly argue. Oh well. Moving on.

Resident Evil 5
I recently as in just yesterday, I finally have RE5 and this is the gold edition so it has all of the DLC with it and started playing it. I beat the first chapter. And about to go into chapter 2.

Related note: I just tried the demo for RE6. It is pimp as hell. Leon's level was the best, it brought back traditional Zombies, as well as putting more focus on dark, creepy atmosphere. Chris's level was even more action-y then 4 and 5, and Jake--you know what, screw it, Sherry's level was cool just for being able to play as Sherry. (She went from a scared little kid to a hot blonde not afraid to jump up and kick a zombie in the face) Definitely going to pick up the full game, once I'm done saving up for Borderlands 2.

You should definitely buy RE6. I just finished all the levels, and am currently playing through to unlock skills and save skill points. It's got it's own issues (mostly limited to QTE's, forced camera angles and the fact that enemies continue to approach and attack the player even during a cutscene) but it's certainly an awesome game.

Four story lines and seven players to choose from, each with their own unique set of weapons.

IMO, its a definite improvement from RE5, although Mercenaries has gotten much tougher than RE5's. Enemies get more and more aggressive and numerous as your combo chain grows, and you can't use any of the techniques learned from RE5 Mercenaries game. You can't do quick reloads from inventory while climbing stairs since the menu's been redone, and no thanks to the physical gauge, you can't do endless physical attack anymore).

There's separate list of skill points to buy just for Mercenaries, but they're not half as useful as the ones available in campaign.

In short, much better campaign mode, but unnecessarily tough Mercenaries mode.

[Shadowman]

forced camera angles

If it wasn't a problem is the first five games...

Which reminds me, I have to pick up Code Veronica on PSN as well...
