Tactics Ogre on the PSP. I played the snes version via emulator, though it was raw making a walkthrough required for it. Then I bought the PS1 port. A week later I found out they were remaking it for psp. You can imagine how that made me feel. I also just got a copy of both Kirby's Return to Dreamland and Kirby's Dream Collection (with all the extras for the latter) for Wii. I'll be busy for a while.

Well I started playing the .Hack series over. I just got the part 4, so I'm replaying through all the games. so far I'm nearing the end of the second game. :banana:

Do you plan on doing the //GU series afterward? I did that last year; watched //Sign, played the first four games followed by watching Roots and playing through GU. Great franchise, I wish it would have picked up more steam in the US.

I am playing both Shantae games. The original/first one I am emulating on my Wii, and the second one ("Shantae: Risky's Revenge"😉 on the 3DS via the store (it was a DSi title of some kind apparently).

I think they're pretty fun. The second one was dumbed-down due to some kind of data limit for the DSi store, so the GBC one has more depth and content despite its GBC graphics limitations. And of course, the DSi one is chock full of graphics goodness.

They're both pretty fun and fairly challenging, but I guess most platformers are?

I might. I just have to find the first two of the //GU series. I only own the 3rd one. If I can't buy it I might just go download A ISO of them and play them on my PS2.
And I wish that they would've been more popular in the US too, The games are quite Fun and has a good plot.

I'm about to beat .Hack part 4. God this game has to be the most annoying game I've played in awhile... so much item collecting... *yawns*

I played Borderlands 2 for most of the day yesterday, as I was ill. I thought I was close to the end, but by 3 AM I gave up. That game has, like, hours of climax content.

Can't decide if I should play Kingdom Hearts: DDD, exchange it for Paper Mario: SS, or exchange it for Professor Layton when it comes out.

Are the Prof Layton games really good? I thought about giving one a shot but I don't know too much about them except for the little I have read in NP now and then.

...😞

All I've played was the first one, and it was excellent. (I have a flash card for my DS so I have them all, just haven't played the others yet.)

Seriously, Curious Village should be cheap. Get it. Or get a flash card now that you probably won't be purchasing anymore DS games anyways. I've got every game ever released if you need a copy. Of course there are easy ways to get them.

Also, I didn't realize Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is already out. Still struggling with the decision. It's not like I'm struggling for money, but I can't justify buying so many games as little as I play them nowadays.

PC, I don't have a 360. It seems all the ports to different systems have limited capabilities anyway. My brother got me into it, and when he first showed me the game I asked, "How good does my computer need to be to get graphics that retro?" I did need to turn some settings down to get it running smoother on my old laptop.

Yeah the world generation is pretty intense! If you want to play it single player with less stutter you can host a local server (Not accessible from the internet) and log in to it via the game (on the same PC running the server) to eliminate FPS fluctuation, instead you'll see the world slowly load around you as you move around. It's just something to look in to and see if you like how it feels over how it normally feels.

Ya, the 360 version has a limit to it (500-ish squares I think in every direction from the center of the world, whereever its located), though the creators have talked about expanding it in future updates, but I like how the crafting system is earier to use.

I'm not really playing anything... Well I'm playing CO-OP mode on Resident Evil 5 With my brother and I'm having a blast with that 😃

I also just started playing this. I am only a few stages in but it's very good so far.

Oh I see. As let you know, I have few video for PM:SS. But I didn't recording rest of them. I just do video for boss and some test with my camera with camera stand.

I'm still playing Skyrim and AC: Revelations. I had a bit more time this weekend to play both. I'm two achievements away from a 100% in Skyrim. I just need to start a new game to get the Oblivion Walker achievement because I screwed up two daedric quests. My other achievement is the one where you have to pick 50 locks and 50 pockets. I'm a master locksmith, so that's not a problem. I've NEVER been into the pick pocketing in Elder Scrolls games. I just don't see much of a use for it outside of a few specific quests.

I have played a little bit of KH😃DD and I need to get back into it. I have not played any of the Prof. Layton games.

Currently playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky. Great game, but some of things it expanded on from Time/Darkness (namely the lookalike items) felt pretty tacked-on and there are several overpowered enemies and some get annoying moves much earlier than in the other games (getting hit by Bug Bite SUCKS, no matter who you are).

Went ahead and downloaded .Hack//G.U Volume 1 Rebirth. So far its pretty good. All I need to do know is find a live torrent of volume 2 and I'm set 😃

Well... It seems I'm on a Resident Evil kick. I'm now playing Resident Evil 4 On the PS2. So far I'm at the castle. so far so good :P
