Spent last week playing Final Fantasy XII but my Playstation is starting to give me trouble. I've tried cleaning it but it still doesn't work right so I'm guessing it's due to old age.

WalMart is selling 'Fall of Cybertron' for $20 so I picked up a copy for PS3 today.

*XERO* · 12-04-2012, 07:58 PM

So after basically waiting a entire year since I got the game, I finally started Skyward Sword a few days ago. This oughta be interesting.

Super Climax Heroes for the PSP

愛 · 12-07-2012, 06:40 AM

I forgot to mention that I picked up Far Cry 3 when it came out. To be honest, I'm enjoying this game more than Skyrim. Maybe it's because I'm tired of the medieval fantasy setting, and it's a little less overwhelming quest-wise. It also looks beautiful on PC.

*AT-Man* · 12-08-2012, 03:01 PM

Dark Souls 2 trailer OH MY GAWD!!!

This is my new number one priority in life.

*Ninjinister* · 12-08-2012, 04:03 PM

So this is a thing....

Maybe because you're playing FFXII on a PS1?

*Roland* · 12-12-2012, 02:33 PM

I have beaten Mega Man 1 on the nes for the first time. Yeeesss!!! I did it without save states and on the console.

Forneus · 12-13-2012, 01:24 PM

Mega Man has always been exceedingly close to my heart. It's an integral part of my gamer culture, right alongside it's spiritual brother (or is it sister?) in my eyes Castlevania.

I never expected another 8-bit go at the Blue Bomber so I can't be happier with Street Fighter X Mega Man. Would I have prefered MM11? For sure, but I can't complain...wait yes, I can. Release this on digital download services so I can pay for it! And earn achievements!

Digital Ghost · 12-13-2012, 08:40 PM

Picked up Far Cry 3 last week... Busy with work so I'll start playing this weekend. Anyone here enjoying it?

*gobo* · 12-15-2012, 09:31 PM

Recently picked up Lego Buttmunch 2 & Lego Ha¡ry Pooter 2 for 360. I love me some Lego adventure games... ^_^

Have made it quite far in FC3 and it's pretty much an outstanding FPS with a great open world to explore and plunder. I'm quite in love with it. The sheer variety in the ways you can not only interact with the game world but how you can tackle the combat situations make this a greatly rewarding experience.

I managed to pull myself off to return to Pandora but yeah, FC3 is an amazing game.

BTW, if anyone here is on XBL, add me (F0rneus). I'm also on Steam with the same name. And I'm Forneus on PSN but I'm never on, pretty much since...well my PS3's my Bluray player and that's it hahaha.

愛 · 12-16-2012, 11:58 AM

I have FC3 for PC, and it's quite fantastic. It's a shame that I can't play it for too long because it gives me motion sickness. I think I need to adjust the FOV.

Forneus · 12-17-2012, 08:37 AM

Linked Street Fighter X Mega Man to Steam and currently plowing through it. I downloaded it twice, once from Mediafire for a 20 seconds download and downloaded it from the slow as heck official page because Capcom are counting the downloads and will use the game as a gauge of the Blue Bomber's popularity.

In any case, what a wonderful little game. Never thought I'd play a new 8-Bit Mega Man but here it is. Different, yet just as good.

First off, the main stages are pretty much all well done. Dhalsim is fairly broken and kind of unfun but it's the only one I didn't like. Other than that it's all good. Ryu's atmospheric and easy, Blanka is exotic and has the typical underwater segments, Viper's has one of the best "shock" moments in the series, Rose is reminescent of younger MM games like 8.

I like how the game is kind of easy too. MM was known to be a tough series and MM9 and 10 in particular were hard as nails. Not so much here. It's designed for fun and while it'll catch you offguard at points, it's nothing harsh. You can plow through the stages and bosses easy. The boss battle themselves are outstanding. Perfect 8-Bit renditions of classic SF fighters. Loved how fast Viper was. She BE HARD! The weapons are top notch too, with the weird one, being Lighting Kick. It works fine but the range is wonky hahaha.

I must also really applaud the music. Amazing hodge-podge of classic Mega Man riffs mixed in with Street Fighter music, all in NES style. Catchy, yet rich. I hope Capcom makes it available sometimes.

The one problem with this great little platformer? You can't save! Nor get passwords! OUTRAGE! Not really, since you can sit down and finish the whole thing fairly fast but they need to considerer patching it in. All in all, a great way to start MM's 25th anniversary. Happy Birthday, Blue Bomber!

*Candy Kappa* · 12-21-2012, 03:20 AM

Duke Nukem Forever on 360.

I actually like it, it got some issues with the controls and the character animation. But the 90's extreme machoness is hilarious. And I got got it for under $5

Forneus · 12-21-2012, 08:43 AM

Randomly decided to replay one of my favorite games of all-time and an early masterpiece by the great Squaresoft...Secret of Mana. It's a shame the company devolved completely and that Mana turned awful after the PSX era.

What a beautiful game. The gameplay is just as addictive and fun as ever, and the soundtrack is the best of the SNES era. And I truly mean that. On a console filled with aural masterworks, SoM is the one to rule them all from it's somber and quiet themes to the full on action of it's boss battles, it's all pure amazement.

It's a true shame that the jRPG genre as fallen so low. At least the Western side of things picked up considerably. Now my days are spent in Skyrim and BL2. I wish that Japan picks things up for next-gen.

愛 · 12-21-2012, 11:18 AM

I think Japan doesn't have much more to offer the West anymore. If you're a weeb, then that's a different story. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT NARUTO GAME, AMIRITE GAIZ? What a shame.

*Cure* · 12-21-2012, 12:33 PM

I think Japan has lost their touch on RPG's but can still crank out some good action games, like Bayonetta and Asura's Wrath and whatnot.
