Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (Jesus, such a long name) way too much.

And Bioshock for a few hours every couple of days.

-BIOSHOCKNDNOBNNOCKIN- I got to the fortress (art) area...how much longer do I have to go?

-SPF2 HD Remix- Awesome XBLA game.  I'm rusty and got my ass kicked!  Also have experienced some SUCKTACULAR lag that caused me to put gems in the wrong areas, but I'm not giving up.

-Phoenix Wright Justice For All- Playing this a little bit almost every night; almost done with the circus case that feels like it's neverending.  One more case after that (which I hope is better!) and then it's onto Phoenix Wright 3.

-Mega Man Starforce Leo- Played a bit, feels like a rehash of the Battle Network games as expected, with a new view for combat.  At least it's something a little different...

Post by: MrAngryFace on August 31, 2007, 01:27:56 AM
Battle Network games change so little its only ever worth owning one of them imo. Starforce is neat, but im not entirely sold on the new view.

I liked ICO but thought SOTC was pretty boring.  There're many at EB that hate both games.

I like SOtC but thought ICO was pretty snoozy (even tho it looks lovely)

SotC is interesting, but the janky camera and boring story keep me from coming back.

I finally beat Bioshock and got more than half of the Achievement points, so I'm good there:

Wii - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which features one of the most awesome boss battles in the history of gaming: the power shaft Meta Ridley fight toward the beginning of the game.

PS2 - I'm going to actually go back and start Xenosaga: Episode I

PS3 - awaiting Warhawk and Lair rental titles from Gameznflix

360 - more Halo 2 on and off... at my college they are douchefucks and are blocking the Live ports. I'm also playing Madden 08 because I hate myself.

Brandonh83 has been pushing the game on me for three years. Time to actually see if he is right. Most of the time he is, so yeah.

What happened to you, Andrew?  I expected a discussion of Xenosaga's plot, based on ideas from Nietzsche.

I bought Jeanne D'Arc and Wild Arms 5, but they're on hold whilst I finish PW3 and Tales of the World.

Persona 3 is nowhere to be found. Weird.

That doesn't sound like the Andrew Vestal we've come to know and love!  Xenogears is a Square game for the PlayStation - hence, it MUST be a Shakespearean masterpiece.

I liked Xenogears a lot, but wow, did they drop the ball on disc 2...what a complete piece of shit that was.

today I caught up with XBLA's latest. Super Puzle Fighter II and Sreets of Rage 2 - after playing the trials I bought both - I also bought Hexic 2 (hexic has great music)

Mostly played puzzlefighter offline and with my girlfriend...

and then we had our 1-2 times a month sit down co-op session with Marvel Ultimate Alliance (PS3). I wish I knew how long MOA was - whe we are done we have decided to play thru XMEN legends 1 and 2 as well.

Other than that and some DOA4 on the X360, this weekend has mostly been PS3 playtime with LAIR and Warhawk. Good to finally be playing more PS3 han PS2/PSone games on the system.

I'm almost finished with Phoenix Wright 3.  The final case is truly shocking and sad, since it involves characters we've come to know over these past three installments.  :(

Bioshocknobn is on a brief hiatus.  I finally finished the third case in Phoenix Wright 2 and am going through the fourth case now.  The circus case just dragged ON AND ON, and I hope the last case is more interesting.  So far, it's been kind of "meh."  I really want to move onto PW3.  :/

PW2 is definitely the weakest installment in the series, Franziska Von Karma awesomeness aside.

Not a fan of her either.  I really, REALLY liked the first game a lot more than the second, but it's not like the second game sucks or anything...

Puzzle Fighter...a lot.

Would be playing COD4 right now, but that goddamn "Downloading Game Settings" bug is rearing its ugly head.

PW1 is the best.  PW3 is second best (though Godot sucks).  PW2 comes in last, but it's not a bad game by any means.  It just has the weakest soundtrack and the cases are just not quite as good as the ones in the first and third game, final case aside.

Are you talking about Cohen's area?  You have about 6 more hours after you pass that part.  One of the major points in the story happens soon from where you are.
