Got Sonic 2 for XBLA. The controller is terrible for the special stages, I was so frustrated I nearly broke a second 360 controller.

Peanut · 09-12-2007, 01:37 PM

Dude, ease up on those XBLA games! There has to be like 5 you don't own.

Jed · 09-12-2007, 01:42 PM

I'm ashamed to say I own 22 of them

In fairness, the Sega Classics have been really good and I've enjoyed playing them a lot (even if I do know Sonic 1 and 2 off by heart).

*Mecha Cow* · 09-12-2007, 01:44 PM

When I came home today my brother had bought TMNT for GBA for €20, so I guess I own that now (Even though I've already played it).

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 09-12-2007, 03:03 PM

I got Sonic 2 on XBLA.

It's really fun. I just wish it had Live Co-Op mode. However, it does have Live VS mode, but that doesn't let you play through the whole game on Live. I'm glad I can save my game, the original didn't have that feature did it?

Jed · 09-12-2007, 03:25 PM

Nah, the original didn't let you save. Sonic 3 let you save in a way, but not like the XBLA ones let you. I played through the game and was well on target to beat it in under an hour and then the glitch were you turn into Super Sonic after the end of act sign kicked in after Metropolis Zone act 1 and I hadn't saved it so I gave up.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 09-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Oh ok. Yeah, I love the new save feature. There is more of a challenge without it, but with it I don't go insane.

Tails can't fly!

I'm very surprised by this. You see, I didn't play Sonic 2 in the past that much for some reason, I was more of a Sonic 1 and 3 fan. I thought he could fly in the 2nd game. Oh well.

Add edit: I just wanted to add that Sonic 2 is now currently one of my favorite games.

Peanut · 09-12-2007, 09:12 PM

I'm still playing Half-Life 2, but the only thing I can think at all while playing is "this is it?"
What in the f*ck was the big deal about this game? Seriously. Why the hell is it so revered? It's so generic that I can't believe people actually think it's the best shooter ever made.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 09-12-2007, 09:32 PM

I played the new Time Shift demo the other day. I got stuck and continued to get killed, so I gave up and deleted the demo.

I am still playing Gears of War online, and as of today Sonic 2 on XBLA. Sonic FTW!

*Mecha Cow* · 09-13-2007, 10:24 AM

You know what I bought today? Freshy Picked Tingle's Rosy F*cking Rupeeland, bitches. I've only played a little bit so far and had it starred any lesser character I would have said it wasn't very impressive, but since this is a game starring Tingle I can safely conclude that it is the greatest game ever made. It also promotes shameless greed and capitalism, which is always a plus.

Peanut · 09-13-2007, 12:50 PM

I hate you.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-13-2007, 01:39 PM

I hate you too.

*Mecha Cow* · 09-13-2007, 02:44 PM

Why would I care about your love? I have Tingle, I am complete.

Peanut · 09-13-2007, 05:20 PM

Heavenly Sword

Will my PS3 purchase finally be justified? Tune-in later to find out!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-13-2007, 06:42 PM

I know I enjoyed playing it at E3 in June and GameStop yesterday. Basically God of War with boobs. Boobs = awesome.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 09-13-2007, 06:46 PM

Heavenly Sword has been released? Sweet! I currently only have enough money for Halo 3, but that will change in 2 weeks. So if HS is good I will get it.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-13-2007, 07:04 PM

It's been getting a decent reception... biggest problem being that you can finish it in a few hours.

Peanut · 09-13-2007, 08:25 PM

I played it for about 30 minutes before I had to eat dinner and do some other stuff, but what I've played so far is pretty fun. It's not God of War, and it's certainly not going to win any awards for depth or originality, but it's still fun. The cut-scenes are pretty f*cking awesome, the only problem with them being that the hair looks utterly ridiculous, especially on Nariko. The only other problem is the fact that the six-axis **** is utterly horrific, like in most games, but you can turn it off, so it's no big deal.

Thus far, much better than I expected it to be.

Edit: Also, that GoW with boobs comment? Not happening. The combat feels a lot different from GoW, actually. On top of that, Nariko isn't sexy. She isn't your typical attractive bad-ass video game chick. She's pretty f*cking scary, and the whole sexuality thing isn't even involved at any point, which is so refreshing.

Edit: Just play for about an hour and a half, this game is excellent. Not good, not great, excellent. It looks like it'll be a little short, but the ride seems like a really great one. The cut-scenes are probably the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. Andy f*cking Serkis is my hero, he's hilarious as the chief villain of the game. I'm so glad they didn't make the game totally serious like God of War, and allowed those hilarious character interactions to take place.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-13-2007, 10:11 PM

Started Wild Arms 5. The soundtrack is ****in' sweet.

**Barkworm** · 09-14-2007, 01:42 AM

I finally beat MP2... Dark Samus was a bad joke, way too easy.
