Not necessarily a game beater, but I'm at the quest to defeat Alduin in Skyrim. I'm only level 30 so I think I need to keep grinding because he's kicked my *** in about 2 seconds flat 5 times now... lol...

Had a few Kairosoft games on Android stacking up so I decided to start picking them off out of my backlog. Started with Dungeon Village, which is pretty great so far; obviously an improvement over the Epic Space Story formula, as it's pretty similar but fixed a lot of the problems with it.
I watched my 10 year old son beat Alduin at level 23. Need him to post some pointers?Quote:

I need to go get some more potions and I'm using my shouts. I don't craft ****. I'll get him eventually.Quote:

I actually owned the game back when it was new, played a few hours into it, and lost interest. I was turned off by light-hearted story and characters, and (thought) I wanted something more epic and grandiose.
So, eight years later, I picked it up again and while I'm only a couple of hours in, I'm enjoying it vastly more than I did the first time through. And that music....my God!
DQ8 is one of my all time favorites.
Haven't beaten much lately, most of the games I've been playing have been ongoing play (Minecraft, MMOs, Pocket Planes). Although, I did beat the enderdragon in Minecraft on Hardcore recently with a group of friends.
Another game I've been playing is X3:Terran Conflict. Been having a blast doing space trading and exploration. Still a little new to the game, but I want to eventually get a station up. It was really overwhelming at first, but I found some awesome vids on YouTube to help get me started.
[Edit] - Did a quick forum search for X3:TC and saw a lot of people had trouble getting into the game. Check out CdrDave on Youtube and look for his walkthrough vids. Here's the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p73C60btBi8 . He's really good at explaining the game's mechanics to someone who's a total noob to the X universe.
Ive been playing a crapton of Geometry Wars 2...I finally beat all my best buddies scores (by a lot) and am now working at Kama's scores.....holy crap man, I dont know how you got some of those scores lol. Ive only beaten one of yours so far. Got any tips?
Almost done with my 3rd playthrough of Fear 2 and im playing the cell shaded Prince of Persia. Ill be picking up Battlefield 3 QC tommorow or saturday. Also got Halo Anniversary so my son and I can play together.
Tips: Play lots.Quote:

Fun little game although I became a bit OCD with collecting all the chests and exp bottles. Puzzles were pretty easy but the overall game was solid. Might check out 2 if it goes on sale.
I think Trine 2 is free on PS3 for PS+ users right now.Quote:

Dwarf Fortress is amazing, but insanely complex and incredibly unintuitive.Quote:

Think of the game as Oregon Trail x 1 million.
WoW that game looks like something I would've played in the 80s with all the ASCII character graphics.
It is easily the deepest game in existence. If you can get used to the interface you can easily lose yourself in the game.Quote:

Indeed! I recommend http://artgoblin.pl/df.phpQuote:
