The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword:
I'm playing it over again, because why not? Apparently so little of it stuck in my head, it makes the game feel remarkably fresh, despite the fact that I haven't even owned the game for a whole year.

Just cleared the Silent Realm in Lanayru (Those horrible horrible things are WAAAAY easier if you use a guide) and got access to the Time Boat.

Yes...Time Boat. It's awesome as hell.

I need to play that. The last one I've played was The Wind Waker. What's Skyward Sword about?

It's basically the origin story of everything. Including the creation of the Master Sword, as well as the explanation for Ganondorf's constant returns, as well as why Zelda is always so important. It's the earliest entry in the official timeline, and it's been stated that the Link and Zelda who appear in it are, chronologically, the first Link and Zelda ever.

Commander Keen: Keen Dreams (DOS)
Steady progress here. Just finished these levels:

- Horseradish Hill
- Brussels Sprouts Bay
- Apple Acres
- Spud City
- Bridge Bottoms

And found 6 of the 12 necessary and 21 total Boobus Bombs. Yeah, don't ask about the name.

Having a pretty rough time with MGR's VR missions. Barely cleared 11 of the 20 missions, and the "eliminate all enemies" missions are brutal. Barely scored rank 3 on the easiest one, and struggling to even get through on the harder ones.

Everything is reliant on blade mode and parrying, the latter of which I still kind of suck at. On the second eliminate all enemies mission, I cleared both hordes, the first using blade mode and the second by getting lucky and scoring a parry with the whole group bunched together, but couldn't get past the third horde of custom cyborgs.

Hell I wasn't even EXPECTING a 3rd horde.

Commander Keen: Keen Dreams (DOS)
GAME OVER BEATEN. And I'm a bit disappointed by this title. Sure, it says Keen, but it's not really Keen, you know? And the game looks a bit unfinished, especially with the ending, no images like the original trilogy. O well, was still fun in its own right.

Has anyone here played Gears of War: Judgement?

I'm probably going to pick up that game next week wanna know if it's good or not.

Tomb Raider.

I started it yesterday morning and I beat it like a half an hour ago. I did stop in between to celebrate my birthday. But I pretty much did play it half of yesterday and half of today. I beat it on normal also. Now I'm just going around trying to find all of the stuff I missed.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection

I beat the story mode on Budokai 1 and now I'm just trying to get all of the trophies before I start working on Budokai 3. Afterwards I finish 1 though, Budokai 3 will always be picked. It's just that much better than 1. Too bad there's no online though

Those are 2 games I got for my birthday. I also got TF: Fall of Cybertron finally. I'm going to start the story mode tonight. I already played a few round of multiplayer. I'm still not sure if it's better than WFC or worse (gameplay wise).

Grand Theft Auto IV:
GENETICALLY DIFFERENT, BABY!

Did the Bank Heist with Packie and Derrick, now I'm running a few different jobs for them, Gerald, and Ray.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown:
I could have beaten this yesterday, I saved right before using the Gollop Chamber, though not in the final mission itself. I took a break, and ended up reading spoilers. Then I...uh...decided I'd like to spend a little more time with my best soldier before she...well, you'll see when you finish the game...

Everything is reliant on blade mode and parrying, the latter of which I still kind of suck at.

Dodge, I cannot stress that enough. X plus Square,(or A and X if your on X-Box) Plus the left stick to dodge, and ninja run as often as possible. I find parrying easy myself, I can parry Ray's head on attacks in very hard mode, as well as his direct sword swings and so on rather easily. Just aim in the direction of the attacks and block. Or dodge and counter. Both work farely well, and you'll need to master them to survive the bosses on higher difficulties. F*cking Monsoon....

Blade mode is a bit complex from a technical perspective. You dond just hack away, you need to aim. You could just use the right stick to aim, but I find lining up the cut with the right stick (Like hold it in one direction, "About to cut.) and hitting square or triangle (X or Y) to be easier for precise cuts. Hope that helped. Remember though, Square/X For sideways cuts,Triangle/Y For downward/upward cuts.
