Still working through Pandora's Tower, but me and the missus are now also playing Rayman Origins together. We're loving it - a better multiplayer experience than NSMB Wii and maybe even slightly better than Kirby's Epic Yarn. All in all, by some margin the best non-Nintendo platformer I've played this gen.

So, you're still working through Pandora's Tower?

Back to Ninja Gaiden 3, it certainly gets better the further you play through - but man that storyline is cliched.

Started a second playthrough on ME3 on insanity diffuculty level to pick up the last two achievements and see one of the other endings - it's tough but still fun. All my characters are approaching level 60 so it evens the odds up a bit.

I am currently playing Devil May Cry Hd Collection, Super Mario Galaxy and Kid Icarus on the 3ds. I am halfway through the 3rd game of the Dmc series. Absolutely loving theses games. I know a lot of gamers prefer the 3rd but I still think Dmc 1 is still the best, the Hd making it look even better. Super Mario Galaxy is ,without doubt, the greatest 3d platform adventure ever (as well as Smg2) this game is a joy from start to finish. Fantastic level design and oozes inventiveness. Also loving the new Kid Icarus. Reminds me a bit of Sin and Punishment. The stand that comes with the game makes the controls fine. I'm still early in the game but liking what I have seen so far x

I recently played through DMC1 again on the HD collection after not touching it for years. Boy the game has aged well gameplay wise, all the enemies felt like real threats in their own ways, the boss fights were all fantastic and the combat system felt like a perfect blend of being simple yet it has a surprising amount of depth to it. I still can't stand DMC2 though, feels so souless in comparison.

I've still to pick up this collection, I know what you mean about 2 but I still like it. Its definitely more action orientated and doesn't seem as slick as the original - I found it a lot easier too. I still think the new one looks b0ll0cks

I'm currently playing Little Big Planet. Can't believe I still half way with the story mode and yet there's a lot of catching up to do. Quite liked the levels found in the community section too.

Also resume back to some more Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and Modern Warfare 3.

Mostly still playing A Valley Without Wind. Cant get enough of it.


When not playing that, some Under Defeat on PS3. Very good game, and it's likely to be the ONE thing that prevents me from selling the near-useless PS3 later on (since it's an expensive import and a shmup).

It's also likely my last PS3 game purchase for..... quite a long while. Likely I'll only buy one more console game in this year. Useless things, both of them.

Dragon Age Origins (360). Not quite sure so far, but likely to be the kind of game it takes a while to get into and work out the more intricate features. It has already crashed though, which is a bit disconcerting (although hardly a new experience these days)

Had a couple of Street Fighter X Tekken playthroughs with Ogre last night. Plays nothing like his Tekken 3 incarnation but still pretty bad-ass with some evil moves that you can combo together. Then I played an Ogre/Akuma team-up which was pretty epic :mrgreen:

Literally cannot get enough of this. Ogre is evil. Loads of mixup/block strings that are easily followed up. Suprised he is not more popular online, but then most people are still using Ryu/Ken/Kazuya/Hugo/Rolento.

I've hit B rank so I've set myself the challenge of using Paul as he's apparently bottom tier. He has little practical combo potential but is a hard hitter. So its Paul/Law atm for giggles. Makes up for lack of Blanka & Dan, although I'll be getting half of my wish soon enough.
