Given up on Me and my Katamari for now - it is making my eyes bleed and brain hurt. not a hard game but i need to beat something up or shoot something for a while.
Instead tried Tekken 6 - i got from the GAME sale. Then went back to Dark Resurrection pretty quickly - just prefer it - T6 's cheap boss did nothing for me (the bast.)

Back to Ninja Gaiden 3, you know in places it feels like it's structured like an oldschool run and gun - the game has got such and amazing pace and there are some brilliant set-pieces. Sadly I think I'll only play this through one once not multiple times like it's predecessor.

Decided that I want to finally finish off Assassins Creed 2, I was right at the end of the game and 4 achievements off 100% when my gamesave corrupted and I lost the lot :( 6 omths after this incident I can just about face starting it all over again..... Great game

Seaman.

Utterly, utterly, bizarre. The laughter alone is possibly the creepiest thing in all of gaming (and yes, I know it's not meant to be!).

keep your memories as is, I say. Why ruin the franchise with an update when your clearly having just as much fun with the originals by the sounds of it. :wink:

Saw. It's a bit cr*p really, thought it might be a decent old school survival horror but it's very repetitive and brown, lots of brown rooms with tv screens. The tv's are green, but everything else is brown. The game sure likes achivements, I got 3 just for hitting a guy with a pipe, 40 points for the first QTE, I went to the toilet and got another achievement when i got back because the character had been still for 5 minutes.

I'm slowly getting further on fist of the north star. I've completed the first 8 or so levels with all thE missions complete which is mostly fun bar a few really stupid ones that are impossible to find without a guide. Completing them do make many of the bosses more fun to fight, except raoh of course who killed me in one hit :shock:

A nice version of Repton on iPhone, complete with funky retro graphics. Good fun for the morning commute. :)

True...

It's just after playing the sort-of-tribute races in GTA4's Lost And Damned DLC, I would really like to see a new game....I'll always have the originals to enjoy if they did mess it up though! :mrgreen:

Am currently playing "watching the girlfriend play Half Life 2". My howls of laughter have been met with a slap and banishment from the room.

Virtual pro wresting 2 on my Everdrive64
Still the best (if only I could make that translation pack work for it or find a save with all the names translated)

Still

I had Vader time for a good few hours, hes annoying as a tag team partner as he likes to beat people up outside the ring.
I had a nearly perfect run threw the main mode.
Until my tag team partner cheap shotted me in the rumble. Then it gave me a match against him where I battered the smeg outa him

I found Toki's playthrough the toughest, his story is that short in terms of level length you really don't get much time or experience to unlock his other skill paths and the Roah battle is particularly tough. There's quite a bit or replaying levels needed to unlock his admittedly devistating later powers.

Yeah, i've heard Toki's playthrough is pretty tough from the get go. do you know if exp caries from character to character? That way I can play through other peoples stages and use the gained EXP on Toki.
