Finished Halo Reach on Legendary! I'm still going to play Reach from time to time, but I decided for now to give ODST another shot. I can't believe I never even played it on Heroic, so I started it up again on Legendary. It's not as bad as I remembered it to be. I let that game die too quick, so I'm playing it again. Yeah!

I also still need to play Reach once more on Legendary by myself. That's gonna take some time. I'm just three achievements away from a perfect.

Right now I am playing Earthbound 2 / Mother 3 for youtube.

After that is over with I think I am going to put in Kirby's Adventure and finish my No Damage run of it for youtube.

After that I plan to stick in Mega Man 2 and do a Mr. Perfect (No Damage) run for youtube.

Finally, for now, I will do Quest 2 in Legend of Zelda 1 Swordless for youtube. I plan to do a 3 Heart, No Force Field Ring, No Magical Shield Run of Zelda 1 in the future as well.

I'm about to do the same. I just picked it up. I hope I dig it as much as you do.

Epic Yarn is awesome. Played through the first two worlds with my sis. It's absurdly overly cute, but also self aware that it's absurdly overly cute so you get a lot of giggles along the way. Beautiful game.

[Peanut]

Just beat Kirby. The last world was so awesome.

[Candy Kappa]

Finished Transformers. Love the story and awesome end song.

Super Meat Boy may be one of the finest platformers I've ever played.

That's good to hear, I was thinkin' about getting it myself.



Kirby's Epic Yarn is so dope. Anyone on the fence about buying it, don't be. Go get it ASAP.
This is the most fun I've had fighting bosses in a long time, too.

[CudleyCowlick]

I finally started Assassin's Creed. The first one. Maybe in 6 months I'll be ready for 2.

Behind the 8-ball as usual...

[AquaParade]

Do yourself a favor and cut right to the sequel, before you get bored of the formula, if you want my advice.
Assassins Creed 2 is an extremely great game!

[Turo602]

On the Kirby topic, I myself was never actually a Kirby fan. I don't know why but I can see my self enjoying those games. From what I see of Kirby games, it sorta reminds me of Mario Bros but with Kirby. So yeah I can see myself getting Epic Yarn in the future. I've been also thinking about Donkey Kong Country Returns.

This may be a bold statement but this game has the smoothest and most intuitive controls I ever experienced in a 2D platformer.

[Peanut]

I might say the same thing if the jumping wasn't quite so floaty and Meat Boy didn't have some weird momentum issues. But, yes. The controls are fantastic.

[Digital Ghost]

Still playing Fallout III GOTY & New Vegas.
Vanquish is another game that's caught my eye, so maybe I'll try that one soon.

[Peanut]

Also playing New Vegas. The Oblivion engine has aged so poorly. I hope it's put to rest now, New Vegas looks just awful.

[Turo602]

I finally passed GTA IV! But that doesn't mark the end of the game for me. They're still plenty of side things and replay value. I also started Rainbow Six Vegas for the third time, but this time on Realistic and alone. Rainbow Six is just awesome. I find it to be way better then Call of Duty. Call of Duty games just feel like high quality generic shooters. I don't understand it's popularity.

[Brodie]

High quality generic shooters. Does that mean that Vegas is low quality generic shooters? Cause....I've played both Vegas games, and though i enjoy them...they aren't exactly pristine, nor very good at telling an entertaining story. At least MW2 and MW1 are well paces and play out like insane action movies.

I'm curious what you mean, because those campaigns in R6Vegas 1 and 2 are pretty lackluster unless you're playing with someone else. And even then, its only fun because youre with someone else, not for the gameplay or story.

I don't like Call of Duty post 2, but to slam it as a generic shooter, while praising Rainbow Six? Rainbow Six, and Clancy games in general, are the very definition of generic military shooters.
