Punch Out!
I bought this on a whim on a friend's recomendation, and since boxing games don't appeal to me, I never really batted it an eye.

Iv'e since beaten it after playing it nearly all day and all night each day since i got it. Recomended highly.

I beat it, got a straight KO on Sandman in round two! What a monster he was...

And im now defending my title. Im currently fighting Von Kaiser. Wish me luck...

[The Happy Locust]

Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed
Got every star in World tour mode and beat all the GP missions. I can finally say I'm done with this (as much as I plan to do) and move on. Awesome game.

Metal Slug 7
Beat the game. Yeah, I did the last 3 levels on easy but I just wanted to run through it at least once. Fun, but takes more skill than I presently possess.

Nano Assault Neo
Completed the Sigma cluster, thus having beat all 16 levels. w00t! Minor achievement giving fully overblown sense of self-respect, just like all achievements in games.

DeadPool
Needless to say, I've made some progress. Currently attempting to pull a stealth kill on sinister. My lungs are currently in pain from needing to force enough air for the constant laughter.

[VirusCarnage]

The Steam Summer Sale has made me go broke I got like 5 games and the sale started 2 days ago too bad I won't be able to download them all because of stupid Canadian bandwidth

Anyway I played a few games of Chivalry it's a pretty fun MP game.

[The Happy Locust]

DeadPool
GAME BEATEN!
The reviews pretty much called this. Deadpool's humor carries what is otherwise a fairly generic and unpolished shooter/slasher. I enjoyed it just the same.
and an ending that involves a nut shot, a giant shoe, and a thumbs up is all Deadpool.

tekken Tag Tournament 2
Kinda lost track of my winnings, but here's the ones I can remember.
Baek, Raven, Lee, Violet.

[SKYWARPED_128]

Just finished The Last of Us (no pun intended). Damn, I don't think a game ever made me care so much about the characters before. It's one of those games where the journey and experience matters more than the gameplay itself.

That said, I've also never been that depressed by a game's setting before. It's pretty damn bleak, and the realistically rendered environment only strengthens the atmosphere.

[Shadowman]

Deadpool:
I'm not normally the kind of guy who goes for 100% achievements, but I thought hey what the hell Deadpool why not? Got all the achievements through to the sewer level. Also I desperately need this as a wallpaper.

[Twitchythe3rd]

DLC Quest

It was only a dollar and totally worth it.

[The Happy Locust]

Far Cry 3
Met the Tribal leader, went on a vision quest, and then went off to hunt down a person from my vision. Tracked him down and found he belonged in his own game. Currently off to torch some drug fields.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Making headway through the castle. Defeated a demon knight who revived due to his shield and earned the double-jump. Trying to work my way back to the beginning so that I can catch some items I couldn't reach earlier.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
More characters behind me than ahead of me, so that's progress.
Today's character endings: Miguel, Lars, Alisa.

[Wigglez]

Okay so I got an Ipod touch recently and I've been playing a lot of games on there but I'll post about my favorite.

Infinity Blade

This game ends fairly super fast but it restarts saying you're the son of the last guy who you played with the same stats and equipment you had on the last playthrough. So I'm level 61 right now and I'm just really playing it to see what's the highest I can go by mastering every weapons and armor and stuff like that. Because you as the person doesn't gain XP, the equipment does. It's complicated.

[The Happy Locust]

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Knocked Leo and Eddie Gordo off my list. I think I'm down to about a dozen endings left to obtain. And remember, the game has something like 52 characters.

Far Cry 3
Dedicated the weekend to this and made some progress. Attempting to avoid spoilers, will summarize thusly.
Attempted to be a hero to the natives but it backfired horribly. Luckily, I'm the protagonist so things like death are minor annoyances.
Went on a vision quest and found someone who could return one of my friends to me. His quest involved 4 quests, 3 to get an artifact which was then used to unlock another artifact. From there, returned to the temple, got high, and beat my inner demon with grenade arrows.
Now in full command of my senses, went after a bad guy, got high, and may or may not have beaten him. It gets cloudy.
Jumped to the second island. With only one ally, working the stealthy route and stole an enemy uniform so that I can walk around unmolested.

[The Happy Locust]

Wow. Game time seems to dip this time of year. Okay, time to double-post.

*Locust attempts to disarm the double-post triggers, only to find that they had rusted over 3 weeks ago.*

Okay that was easy.

*A spring comes loose and lodges itself in Locust's left nostril.*

ow...


Tekken Tag Tournament 2
From where I left off, beat the game with all remaining characters. All endings unlocked.
Loved the game but I'm done with it. I will say that having to identify Mokujin's current moveset by fighting stance is really hard. At least in Soul Calibur, the copy character has a weapon visible. But that's really my only gripe. First tekken game I ever played and I really enjoyed it.

Far cry 3
GAME.BEATEN!
Will avoid spoilers and just say that while the endings were weak, the game itself is awesome. Haven't enjoyed a sandbox this much since skyrim.
all relics, letters, memory cards radio towers, and outposts accounted for.

castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth
Finally decided to put some time into this. Let it be known that I suck at these games because I spent over 8 hours trying to beat an 6-level platformer. How's that for nostaliga for the days of the NES.

[Shadowman]

Borderlands 2:
I got Krieg about halfway to level 49 which is nice. But the really nice part is that I've found three Orange items in the past day; The Cradle, Hellfire, and Bonus package. The most Legendary items I've ever found in a 24-hour period.

[BeastProwl]

The Cradle,

AKA the 3rd worst Legendary. If it weren't for those other two, Ide count that as a negative.

Zone of the Enders

Pretty neat I guess. Dont know why these random asshats are killing everyone though. Also, the AI voice is navi levels of annoying, the lack of knowing were the hell to go at any given time is grating, and the constant backtracking and fetching this to kill this is pretty repetitive, just like the gameplay and enemy variety...

I stll like it for some reason though. And I hear The Second Runner makes the monotony worth it, so I guess Im all in.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
I was renting it, so no war machines or special armor sadly, but I enjoyed what I got out of it. Accept maybe the ending. That made NO sense. I didn't catch every word hologram lady said, but seriously what the hell?
And were did Cesare get his army to suddenly attack out of nowhere? And how did he escape? Im a tad confused.

Well obviously. But it's a Legendary so I count it as a win.

The voice acting in the sequel isn't better, (Largely due to a poorly-translated script) but the gameplay is vastly superior.

Short version: Juno is a bitch.

And were did Cesare get his army to suddenly attack out of nowhere? And how did he escape? Im a tad confused.

Because it's what he did in real life.

[SKYWARPED_128]

Dynasty Warriors 8

I don't know why I keep buying what is essentially the same cast of characters in the same story, over and over again. That said, the new gameplay with the 3 different elemental afinities is fun, and makes things far less repetitive. You now actually have a reason to switch weapons.

Anyways, just defeated the Yuan Brothers level for the Wei faction.

[VirusCarnage]

I decided to give Borderlands 2 another chance, it's not as bad as I originally said, its not the best game but it's not as bad as FoC MP.

What, FoC MP? Why not Daikatana or Duke Nukem Forever? Something that's actually godawful. Comparing it to FoC MP isn't actually that bad.

Borderlands 2:
Finished Assault on Dragon's Keep as Gaige on TVHM and--okay, seriously? I found the Flakker. Is there like an increased drop chance event going on? That's four oranges in two days.

I thought that FoC MP sucked, and was very boring, but I probably could've thought of a much worse game if I would have thought hard enough.

Buttstallion has a 75% chance or something like that to poop out a legendary if the handsome sorcerer doesn't drop one Ive gotten 6 from her already. Plus the enemies in Assault all seem to have increased drop rates for generally good loot.

Krieg has increased drop rates, Ive gotten triple the legendaries out of him on 1 playthrough than my 2 1/2 playthroughs with Zer0 and 2 playthroughs with Axton. Everyone else? None.

Tack on the vault hunter relic and its hard to get bad weapons with him. Gearbox's gift to a bitchy fandom I suppose.

[The Happy Locust]

Spec Ops: The Line
Hard to describe without spoilers, but let's just say I survived the Freebird run. Anyone who played this will get that.

CastleVania: Judgement
Now that Tekken's done, moving to a less polished fighting game.
Beaten with Simon, Alucard, Grant, Sypha, Carmilla, Golem, Maria, and Eric.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Finally got back into this. Met death for the second time but he jumped into a portal and locked the door behind him. I now have a double-jump ability, the green stone, the wind book, and guardian armor. Just worked my way back to the beginning of the game so I can explore and get some items that were previously out of reach (ah, MetroidVania)

[BeastProwl]

Zone of the Enders

Disarmed all the bombs and went on to finish Neith. I cant seem to ascertain her motives besides "I wanna die but I dont but I do".

and then Anubis shows up. Ok, Im going to say it. Bladewolf is based off of Anubis' design. Or rather, he homages it to a point. Im not jumping to any conclusions by asking if this and MGS are in the same universe, am I? I mean, Sunny did say she wanted to make it to jupiter before hal died. Just coincidence, but I want to believe...

It's Kojima, he's just weird like that.

Borderlands 2:
So...yeaaaaah...funny story. See, my dad got a shiny new computer, and I got his old one. his old one is substantially better than my old one. And then a friend of mine got me the PC version of Borderlands 2, since he always wanted for us to play together.

So that happened.

Bought Gaige (No, I have NO idea how I'm going about re-buying the DLC) and got her up to level 15. About to go meet Tiny Tina out at Tundra Express.

[ZeroZ]

After discovering World of Warcraft in 2007, I lost interest in everry other video game in existence.
o_o
And everything else, for that matter.

That being said, I'm a badass Paladin, with a badass sword, and badass damage dealing, who, every day, without remorse, goes out into the world, and, since I'm very good at it, and since I'm well know with many a faction, I dawn my armor, made by the mightiest of blacksmiths, and enchanted by the most knowledgeable of enchanters, and....I plant flowers in my garden.

Then I play some sort of pokemon rip off and it gives me the experience I need to kill dragons, god, and titans. It just works, trust me.

[The Happy Locust]

Castlevania: Judgement
Add Cornell, Trevor, and Death to my 'done' list.

Spec ops: the line
Finished the game. Felt like a bad person for not feeling like a bad person on the final reveal and understanding of the game's narrative. Neat.

Darksiders II
Started the game and found myself trapped on the world of the makers. Unlocked the cauldron but now need to release the tears of the stonefather.

[Shadowman]

Borderlands 2:
Met with Brick, now me and my team (The only reason I had this on PC is because my best friend wanted to play co-op with me) are running around doing sidequests and...wow, I don't remember Lynchwood being this hard...
