Once again I have loads on the go....

Street Fighter X Tekken (XBOX 360) - I'm actually terrible at it. Getting done by Kazuya infinites, Rolentos poking & Ravens teleport :(

Under The Skin (PS2) - Bought a while ago from Witchfinder and just gave it a go. Great FUN!

El Shaddai (XBOX 360) - only a few chapters in as I've been distracted by SF x T. Very Unusual game. love the whole combination of religion, action & art style.

Biomotor Unitron (NGPC) - Another one i got from the forum. Been playing this quite a bit when I'm in the bath :oops: and its great! Love how much you can customize your Unitron. Also it's not heavy on the RPG elements (great for me as I'm so easily distracted!). Thank you Smurph for this one!

God Hand (PS2) - gave this another quick blast. Really does chuck you in balls deep doesnt it? Another game I dont appear to be very good at. Will keep at it though as its good fun!

Puyo Pop Fever (PSP) - Been playing this a fair bit before bed. Looks much nicer than the XBOX version. well suited for the handheld as i think many puzzlers are!

PHEW.....

Spikeout Xbox - Greatr but bloody hard
Sudikei - I need a bigger TV as the text is hard to read
Red Ninja - NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NO!
This is the game that makes me cringe, had to disinfect my hands after playing it
Rugby 2005 - Bullshit biased ref, annoying tut mode that dont tell you what you did wrong also bloody hard

Having a quick blast on the PSP today -

Eye of Judgement Legends - Absolutely fab game! The story is horridly cliche but the card game is as good as it was on PS3 (with the added benefit of not having to fondle and scream at the useless AR implementation!)

Gods Eater Burst - It's Monster Hunter in a post-apocalyptic anime setting with none of the charm. I'm really, really struggling to like it. It's just so hopelessly generic anime cookie-cutter 101 stuff. The gameplay itself is quite stiff but that might get better as I go on. If I go on :?

Also hammering away at Ridge Racer on my Vita, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this game :D

Picked up Red Dead Redemption again after getting really stuck on one mission and leaving it for ages.....seems due to the break I managed to get past that mission first time :D

On the retro side, have been enjoying playing Galaga on the Atari 7800.

On the final stretch of Final Fantasy V.

Quite proud ive stuck it out as i used to be so fickle with RPG's and id forget about them once i got to a boring bit. This has kept my full attention.
Just met the optional sideboss Omega and in FF tradition, its ridiculously hard! Ashamed to say i took some advice from an online guide but im still not strong enough to last even a few attacks :S
I asked for orange. It gave me lemon lime!

You've mentioned the 3 things that do my head in at the moment in that game. Kazuya mainly as I just hate fighting him, his moves just seem to go on forever and are a pain to remember which you block high and low :evil: Still I really enjoy the game!

Well I can give you my paypal account to send an advanced payment :wink: Truth is though I'm not all that great at this game, my win rate is pretty much 50/50 at the moment thanks to a few characters that can really run rings round me (and the matchmaking sucks). Now Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, that's a game that I'd like to think I'm at least half decent at!

Put on Disaster: Day of Crisis to check that it would work and ended up playing over 40mins of it. The story is a bit more indepth than I was expecting it to be and the game play seems alright so far.

Also did the same with Prince of Persia on the 360 last night, spent a good half hour odd on it as was enjoying playing it.

I'm playing a few at the moment -

Pullblox on 3DS (gotta get those last puzzles solved!!)
Kid Icarus on 3DS (only just got it though so not really done much)
Touch my Katamari on Vita
Final Freeway 2 on ipad (my GF is nearly as good as me now - she's finished expert beating the rival at all 5 checkpoints :-)
Mario Party 9 on Wii - great with mates. Crap on your own!
Journey on PS3 - Flippin' unbelievable. If you have a PS3 you MUST get this. Seriously. If you buy any game this month, make it Journey. I've completed it 3 times through so far (it's only short) but I can't help but play it again. And again.

....what the heck is that Journey game even about?

All gameplay footage I've seen is just some guy wandering/floating/jumping around really empty areas. Granted, they're NICE looking areas, but still bloody empty.

Looks really boring to me.



But then I didnt understand Flower or Flow either.

Had a quick go of Alien Soldier on the Mega Drive.

The intro made me laugh.
