Had a few days off from work so I decided to pull something semi-short from the Unplayed pile. I went with Transformers: War For Cybertron since it's been sitting on the shelf for a while and I never bothered with it. It's OK. I don't often play games of this type but I like it. The levels feel a little too long, but at least there's frequent checkpoints. Part of me feels like the weapons should be upgradeable, or something, I'unno. But again, I don't often play this type of game so I didn't really know what to expect.

Only part I really got annoyed with was defending Ratchet while he's restoring Zeta Prime. I always hate that stuff in games, that babysitting allies thing. "You got two hands, you robot jagoff! Fix the giant robot with one hand and blast bad guys with the other! Or are you the only giant robot on this entire planet without a gun?!"

Currently on the chapter 2 of The Cat Lady, a really good indie game, even does not having awesome graphics.

only really had time lately to play a couple rounds here and there in the Strife Beta. actually a very good easy MOBA to pick up. long as they can keep there promise of a low toxic community i think the game will do well.

Well, it's a game like the classic adventure games, basically you can just walk to left and right on the screen, interact with scenarios and collect items to solve puzzles. But the part that really stands out is the history, I won't lie, this game it's not for everyone, be it by the gameplay, or by the history, that is the best part of the game but even that it's not for everyone, since it deals with issues like, suicide, depression, psychopathy and even cannibalism.

As I said, it's a really great game, I'm already in chapter 6 (of 7), and until now I have nothing to complain about. By the contrary, it has two extras, beyond the amazing history, it also have a perfect soundtrack and every pc on earth can run it.

Well, I finally beat the main story of GTA V. I enjoyed it a lot. The dialogue is probably my favorite in the series, especially the scenes with Franklin and Lamar.

But DAYUM... Trevor is one f*cked up dude. Now I see why people were turned off by

Spoiler:

the mission where you have to torture a guy to progress.

Overall, it was a great game. It didn't drag as much as I thought it would like Skyward Sword did, actually. I dunno, it just flowed better to me.

Anyway, goin' through Sonic Generations again as I post this.

[Ninjinister]

I just nabbed Pac-Man Museum on Steam, 'cause that's the kind o' s**t I like.

Ice on the roads and home sick from work today. Played through DuckTales Remastered finally.

[pannoni1]

I just played the first ever game based on a Rock band: Journey Escape for the Atari 2600. It does make some effort to reveal who you play as by displaying their initials next to the timer. The objective is to get all five members into the Escape Podship before the timer runs out while avoiding obstacles along the way. Steve Smith is who you play as first and the obstacles only move vertically. Next up you play as Jonathan Cain, and some of the enemies start to move diagonally in addition to vertically. Ross Vallory is third with the enemies moving even quicker. Fourth comes Neal Schon, and finally you must complete the stage with Steve Perry in which the enemies move the fastest and wildest. After all five members are in the Escape Podship, there is a brief cutscene and then the level starts all over again, but you build upon the money you accumulated. When you run out of time, the game ends. Overall, it's a decent game for its age and the music tries its best to sound like Don't Stop Believin' given the limitations, but I wish the challenge got harder every time the round resets. But it's fun Atari 2600 action.

I'm almost afraid to go back to that game. I've already finished it on easy, but on normal, having to make all those jumps at the end of the last level to get to the end is a pain when you've got limited lives. I tend to keep missing the most crucial ones for some reason.

Just played Fairly Oddparents: Breakin' Da Rules on Gamecube.

Got, played and beat South Park: Stick of Truth.

Pretty enjoyable, and just long enough to not overstay its welcome before becoming unfunny.
