Just beat Mark of the Ninja.
A really great game that I highly recommend to everyone. SO much better then shank and I hope we see a sequel soon. That said, I would like to see more challenging puzzles and a wider variety of special moves and items.
Worth buying if you are a fan of side-scrollers, fluid action, stealth, and Samurai Jack type animation.
The Walking Dead. Loved it. I have no idea why my 360 controller (on the PC) stopped working for episode 5 but it was a great ride. I've been putting some serious time into Gran Turismo 5 since it's sat unplayed for many months. Also playing Sine Mora on Steam PC.
Finally finished Borderlands 2 a few days ago. The last few missions were fun I guess, but after dying in the boss battle a few times I got a glitch where he knocked me to a place where none of his attacks could hit me. Kind of a crappy way to finish the game. Doubt I'll do NewGame+ or a different character anytime soon.
Started Uplink: Hacker Elite last night. It could use a bit more handholding in the beginning, but it's really fun so far. Not being able to undo anything and having the equivalent of permadeath in the game makes everything that much more exciting. Definitely the kind of game that's best to play at 2AM.
I beat XCom: Enemy Unknown. A good game. What surprises me is that I have little desire to replay it, even though as a tactical game it should have a lot of replay value. A lot of work went into building up my troops.
I can see that. So much time is spent micromanaging so many detials that starting over can seem daunting and.or unappealing.Quote:

The writing is witty but the overall story is very short and light on dialogue.
Okay game that was worth the 5 I think I paid for it. I don't know if I'll play the expansion that came with the game since I feel tired of it and I just got Guild wars 2.
Done with Wizorb.
I put about an hour and half and got half way through the game. It was a fun new take on breakout but I got bored with it and the whole thing felt more like a chore then a game. I would have liked to see more RPG type elements and a wider mix of spells/buffs then the 4 you have. I think the overall idea has a lot of potential but the current execution gets old pretty quickly.
Worth buying is your a huge fan of the Breakout type games and have a thing for wizards.
Im all up in some Torchlight II right now. Seriously epic game. Lvl 21 embermage right now.
Uncharted Golden Abyss. Fantastic little diversion. Still can't believe the visuals on the Vita. The only times I died were when they forced you to take your hand off the unit to swipe the front screen to keep from falling. I also didn't realize until a cutscene near the end that you can tap the sparkle items during a cutscene and pick them up. Now on to Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collection.
Just beat Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes.
B-
It's a fun little game, glitchy as hell, but it's short and the parody of common RPG tropes was enough to keep me playing for the ~11 hours it took to finish.
Next up is the 2nd one. Gotta get my $2.99 worth out of the deal. ;)
Just beat Witcher 2 on 360 with 100% achievements.
Pros:
The story and political intrigue was exceptional.
I especially liked how the story and locations changed so drastically based on your decisions.
The combat on Dark difficulty had a lot of depth. I had to play it similar to Dark Souls.
The Polish voice acting was very good and atmospheric.
Mission types were pretty diverse
Cons:
Navigation was horrendous.
The sword fighting training tree seemed much more useful than the alchemy and magic tree (This is probably due to personal playstyle but I couldn't find a use for the magic and alchemy).
The english voice acting was poor and changed the whole atmosphere of the game in a bad way.
Rating:
3 out of 5 - A must play for fans of western rpgs
Just beat Dragon Age: Origins. I played it when it first came out, but got to the last battle and never finished it. Glad I decided to play it again, forgot how much fun it is. I went with Alistair (Sword and Board), Morrigan (DPS / Debuff), Wynne (Healing), and Elven Mage as my player (DPS). It was a walk in the park on normal with three mages.
I'm still debating starting it up on PS3. The resale value is so low and I bought the Ultimate bundle not knowing the PC version and consoles supposedly play like two completely different games.Quote:

Got it for the cheap price. I'll probably start it up after I finish Final Fantasy 4 on the PSP/Vita.
Played through Grotesque Tactics 2. It's just as buggy as the first. Actually, it is probably a bit shorter in total length vs. the first one.
I'm not sure I would recommend either game, but I don't regret playing either of them.
finished uncharted golden abyss and gravity rush for the vita (both were free games for PS+ subscribers), now starting persona 4 golden... heard great things about it and never played the original
now playing: killing floor.
I just beat Borderlands 2
I did not enjoy it at all, from the long waves of enemies to the fact that they are bullet sponges just irritated the hell out of me. The writing, while better than the original's was still not as good as the General Knoxx expansion pack. Also, Claptrap and Jack were very irritating. Claptrap, just because he bothers me, and Jack because he is a blatant ripoff of Sterling Archer. I would give it a 6/10.
yep... i bought both diablo3 and borderlands2 on day1 and regretted both... im just not a fan of the mindless and endless, MMORPG style loot-grab gameplay. it reminds me too much of crappy freemium and iOS/Android games like tiny tower and farmville...
i think thats why i also didnt enjoy Xenoblade very much... the story and characters were nothing special and gameplay was boring and tedious (some people love this though)
I've been absolutely loving Borderlands 2. Kinda boring single player, but it's a ton of fun to co-op. I was actually able to get my 3 best friends to buy it. 4-player co-op goodness. :D
Now playing: Iron Brigade (Trenched)
Seems fun so far. I remember people talking about it back when it came out on XBox.
Game is great! Marred by some absolutely horrible netcode.Quote:
