Been really sick and not wanting to play anything too complicated, so I've just been messing around with SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 for the Wii. In a sick way it's nice to know I'm still terrible at most fighting games. I had no idea Street Fighter II spawned SO many blatant rip-offs back in the day.

Pfft. You have no idea.

btw, hope you're not counting Fatal Fury amongst those. It was actually developed simultaneously with SFII and I believe even shared a few figureheads in development.

I heard that Fatal Fury was originally a scrolling beat-em-up,but was changed when they learned of SF2's development....

Unlikely, as Fatal Fury was to be basically a spiritual sequel to their previous fighter, Street Smart.

Gotta say I was not impressed by the last couple hours of GoW3. Not impressed at all.

Star Wars Force Unleashed on 360... pretty okay, fun but some serious flaws.

Oh, and Mega Man II on my iPod touch.

Terrible. Mega Man II on touch only is an abomination. Gaming on the iPhone period is an abomination.

Finally beat The Legendary Starfy, which I've been slowly working on since Christmas (mostly for 5-10 minutes on lunch breaks). I haven't gone back for all of the secret stages and chests yet (might come back quite a while later for those), but all of the standard stages and the Starly missions are done.

Since it was announced my expectations for this game have been going up and down. Can't say I'd be surprised if it felt underwhelming to me too...

Anyway, did anyone play the Firewalker missions for ME2 (which won't take longer than an hour at best)? The thing actually controls like a responsive version of the Mako.

Been playing Torchlight for the last few hours. Best $5 I've spent on a game.
