Guitar Hero III
Finally got those 5 stars on The one and raining blood. Unlocked the Jolly Roger guitar.

Mega Man ZX (DS)
Defeated Fistleo with a measly lv. 1 victory (why is his weak spot so big?!) and obtained Model F. Repaired it to lv. 3 like I did with Model H. Next up is Lurerre the Abysroid in the Icy Mountains.

By the way, Model F is already my favorite model, who agrees with me?

Guitar Hero III
Working my way through hard song-by song. I managed to get a single 5 star on "hit me with your best shot", but my hard skills don't seem to jump past 3 stars. Still, made it to the video shoot.

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
Beat Stage 4's main route. I decided not to go against Carmilla, the sexy vampire lesbian--OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Next up, if the Boss FAQ at GameFAQs isn't lying, is Death.

Adventures of Death jokes, GO!

Mega Man ZX (DS)
Did 2 sidequests (found 3), the one with the flower and the boy one. Result: E-Crystals galore, found the 2nd Sub-Tank and the Eraser Chip. Now I'm hesitating between Purprill and Lurerre... Which one would you advise?

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
I managed to get to the Grim Reaper. The level is a lot easier than some of the previous ones. The boss, is not too tough, however, his second form is a lot harder.

Who knew it could be so hard to kill the personification of Death?

Call of Duty 4
Started the game and played through a few levels. I survived the boat assault, chased Al-asaud through the TV station, freed the Russian informant only to have my helicopter be shot down and have to run through hostile territory.
Still chasing Al-asaud but was unable to escape before the mushroom cloud took us down. I have to admit, that was one of the trippiest images in video game history, especially crawling afterwards and hearing your heartbeat slow.

Tomb Raider: Legend:
Gotta have something to give my new Gig of memory a work-out, and I haven't played TR:L in a while, and Lara Croft is frikken HOT, so why not?

Just solved the puzzle in the temple in Peru, with the three giant boulders, and the beams of light. Took me twenty minutes last time, and maybe three this time.

Exteel [PC]:
Got a bonus from the Mercenaries' Alliance for doing some Territory Control battles. Groovy.

Apparently the Open Beta is supposed to start tomorrow. Frankly, I wouldn't bet on it, since the CB2 was delayed by nine smeggin' months.

Drift City [PC]:
Bought a 240SX (Level 1 car) to drive around in so I don't waste my Supra's gas. Plus, it makes racing my lower-levelled friends easier. Got to Level 39. Currently at Station 3 in the third city. Working my way up to Level 41 so I can buy the RX-8. Sold a coupon for the Supra for 20 grand today, so I can afford it now. Chicka-chicka-yeah.

The game is fun, but it's unstable like a pile of smeg. Christ, I had to restart it (and often my computer) at least 4 or 5 times in 2 hours. Way to go, ijji.com, making gaming more aggravating than it has any reason to be.

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
Alt Level 4. Still Haven't quite beaten Death.

Tomb Raider: Legend:
Made it to the Japan mission.

I had the same problem with Stubbs the Zombie. Kickass game but would crash often in 20 minutes.

Guitar Hero III
Up to the Europe tour. Got 2 fives stars and I've lowered the three star count down to 3.
bought Elroy Budvis from the store

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Mega Man ZX (DS)
Went for Lurerre after all , defeated her with a Lv. 3(!) Victory and obtained Model L (no need for fixin' for me, yay). Instead of teleporting back I did some backtracking, that rewarded me with a 2nd Live-Up. Gotta love the ice platforms. Next up is Purprill in the Amusement Park.

[Shadowman]

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
Did the "Water Slide Ride" in Alt-Level 4. Near the end, a bird came down with a sign that said "Danger!" And I thought, "What danger?" I then fell into a hole.

I then thought "Ohhh."

EDIT: Beat Alt-Level 4, and saved Maria, Iris, and Tera.

All that's left, really, is to finish up Regular level 5. I've got Death's pattern pretty much down, too, so I should have it by the end of the day.

Finished the Frieza Saga on Dragonball Z Tenkaichi Budokai 3.

So far I am not impressed with it at all, and I am a huge (and very forgiving) fan of DB-DBZ.
Bandai have tried to do something different, and props to them for doing it, the idea was good in theory, fairly bad in practice though.

They have made the flashier stuff (teleporting, dashing etc) much easier, but the game has lost some of it's fluidity in terms of actual attacking. The fights are alot cut up badly by the almost forced "press R3" moments.

In really sucks that you can nearly have killed Nappa with Chiaotzu, only to press R3 and Nappa goes back to near full health, closer to the story yes, but not as fulfilling as a fight should be.

So you would say that the game is NOT over nine thousand, yes?

IT'S NOT QUITE NINE THOUSAAAAAAAANNND!

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
Bow before me, for I have KILLED DEATH!

Regular-Level 6. That one is pretty much a Boss Rush mode. But not Dracula X Chronicle Bosses. Castlevania I Bosses. I can get up to the Mummy, but after the Giant Bat and Medusa wore me down, he's a lot tougher. And then there's Frankenstein's Monster! Hope he isn't as tough as Van Helsing made him look.

Exteel [PC]:
It seems that Exteel wasn't spared the all-too-common 'jump-from-closed-beta-to-open-beta' blues. Though the Open Beta hasn't come yet, the game is still open to the Closed Beta crew, but watch out as there has been the Reset, and items now cost MUCH more money than they used to. Oh, but don't worry, as the CB players are thanked for their hard work by being given the BEST ITEM EVAR: SKY BLUE PAINT.

Man, I'm pissed. I'll still keep playing, though. Currently 35% through Level 1.

Oh how I despise the over 9000 crap.

But no it most certainly is not over 9000, Farmer with Shotgun is far better than this game.

Completed the England tour. Managed to nail 5 stars in all 5 of the Europe songs. WHEE!

Wait, do you mean songs by the band Europe?

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles:
Made it to Frankenstein on Regular Level 6. Curse his gigantic size and somewhat Germanic name!

Exteel:
For the third time ever, I completed the Training Missions. I guess that's progress.

I'll add you as a friend the next time I see you in game. Are you using the BEST ITEM EVAR, the blue paint?

Yeah, actually. I expected a slightly bluer shade of sky blue (This one's more greenish), but it works. And I'm only using the Sky Blue because I wasted most of my money on not using a crapola Pinket, and I didn't have enough money left over for the Dark Blue. Damn I hate the Pinket! (But not Jada Pinkett. Because she's hot)

I know what you mean. For the moment, I'm using the Pinkett. I blew my cash on dark purple paint (I renamed my Pinkett "Shckwave" because of his one-yellow-eyed head, I've been doing that since CB1) and an Iron Curtain.

EDIT: Forgot my progress!
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast [PC]:
Sweet smeg in a can, this game is visually stunning. I've never seen graphics this good on a computer I own before...

Cleared the Jailhouse concert. Went back and got more 5 stars. I'm finally getting the hand of the 5-fret-button thing. Although I must say I'm still completely bombing at a few of them.
