Started Legend of Kyrandia 3, but it's not looking as good as 1 or 2 so I may give it a miss.

God hand, and it is literally one of my favorite games ever so far. I just beat the first stage, so we will see if it stays as fun.

It doesn't stay as fun, it gets better.

I thought I knew every game. I can safely say I have never heard of this. Have you made it up?! :)

Some time was spent shouting swearwords at Minecraft. That'll teach me to try to use mods. Not even very complicated mods, just some extra biomes and dungeon types. The game still has it's #)%&@*-ing memory leak though, which just intensifies if I use any. Supposedly to be fixed in 1.3.

Though, to be fair, I swear at that game all the time anyway, because Skeletons. I swear they sit around and have little tea parties while they discuss the best ways to irritate me and knock me offa things or into lava or into creepers.


And then, more Sqoon on the NES.

Holy crap is that game BLOODY DIFFICULT. It's been quite awhile since I've had a shmup just WRECK me as hard as this one does. The gameplay mechanics are just genius though.

I'm still plugging away at Street Fighter X Tekken's online mode. I really like the variety on the new characters - the Tekken cast rock and the new SF characters in the game like Rolento and Hugo are both also really good. I just wish Capcom chose to add a few more characters that didn't feature in SSFIV (oh well, I still have Elena to look forward to in the future!)

I'm also playing loads of Yakuza Dead Souls. Its far from perfect but its still the same old additive Yakuza formula, I've barely touched the main story as I'm having too much fun doing all the side stuff available.

Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
PSP.

Its like a platform Zelda game for kids.
Its also bloody good. Looking for a proper copy of it and i saw this
"Publisher(s)
JP Nihon Falcom
NA Mastiff
EU 505 Game Street"

F**K OFF 505!!
They bring out loads of censored and the odd good game, the kick in the nuts is that the good games get released in small batches.

just think if it wasn't for piracy I wouldn't get a chance to play great games like this

Just been playing Birth Order (XBLIG). It's pretty fun, sort of a mixture between a shmup and a board game. No score attacking to be had but it's good for some procedurally generated blasting.

Aside from that I've mostly been playing BlazBlue CS Extend. I wasn't going to get it but it was a tenner on the gamestation website which is less than some people would have paid for DLC characters in normal CS. Unfortunately I seem to suck even more in this new version but it's stiill fun.

SCV. Haven't played any Soul Calibur for a while, but I don't remember Nightmare ever being as cheap as he is now. CAS doesn't disappoint, having fun making freaks, though I don't suppose I'll enjoy grinding in order to get more stuff.

Hope there is a SCVI, and that they'll be kind enough to make more effort on the single-player side. Really, Team Soul? Not even a static picture or something for character endings? Bah.



Yes, I know everyone and their dog's bitched about it, but I'mma moan about it too, dammit!

Devil may cry 4
Was really enjoying it.
Till I got to a bit where I had to jump from spinning blade to spinning blade then on a platform on the last bit the camera decided to move

It annoyed me as when I missed the last jump I had to do it all over again

Stranglehold 360 till a "Protect the band" bit. it really needs a better "Wheres that guy shooting at me from" thing.

Well at least they where cheap so ive had my moneys worth

Space Marines, bought cheap but quite like it even if the game is a little repetitive.
