We have a thread for games that you've never completed, so why not have a thread about games you have recently beaten? You can give a little review afterwards if you want.

I was bored last Friday, so I went and beat Twin Snakes in a couple of hours. I must say, while I do enjoy the new cutscenes, they shouldn't have changed the voice acting at all. It felt so monotonous. There was no feeling in any of the lines. Kind of ruined the game for me, because it tells such a great story.

Lunar for the Sega CD. Not exactly the first time I've played through the game, but I still love it to this day and decided to break it out recently. I always have prefered it to the Playstation remake.

And that sig is amazing.

Man, Lunar for Sega CD is a rough game. I do enjoy it, though.

And thanks! I just put it together real quick, because I'm so frustrated with the show.

**Barkworm** · 07-26-2009, 09:15 AM

The last one I beat was Sam & Max Save the World. It was a pretty cool game, nothing spectacularly awesome but I enjoyed it a lot. It also had some REALLY funny dialogue.

I beat Prototype not long ago. Real fun game and I loved how a fair few of the missions gave you a choice on how to tackle them. I'm not entirely sure what was going on at the end of the game's story but I really liked the gameplay.

Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.

Yes, it's not something to brag about, but at least I managed to finally buy and play one of the Monkey Island games. I felt so proud when it finished downloading from Steam...

I recently beat the Pikmin 9 Day challange. I have had a couple of deaths, but I'm working on 9 Day-0 deaths challange and the 10 Day 50 Pikmin challange.

I just beat Tetris. The final boss was a bitch.

You mean the one that starts throwing circular shapes? Man, I did not know where those would fit.

It is something to brag about. You don't know how many people out there have never touched a Monkey Island game. And if you beat it without using any hints, even more power to you.

I beat it, as well, at a very leisurely place, looking at everything and listening to all the awesome, fully-voiced dialogue. Then I went back and polished off some of the random achievements, but specifically so I could get the speed-run and both endings achievements. Tons of fun, even to this day. And still really funny.

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-27-2009, 07:31 AM

There are two endings? I'm currently playing it on PC but even though it's been a a full twelve or so years I can still remember too much... Hopefully they do the second one too though. I can't remember a great deal of that...despite it being less time since then...

Peanut · 07-27-2009, 09:04 AM

They're very slight variations, but yes, there are two. I remembered a good deal of the stuff that took place on Melee Island, but I had forgotten a bunch of the opening puzzles on Monkey Island. I agree with the sequel being remade, as well. Having only played through it once, and not even being in control of the game for the entire duration, I can barely remember a thing about it.

*raphael_is_cool* · 07-28-2009, 08:11 AM

Oh, I've just remembered now. Is the ending variation to do with

I beat Portal: Prelude today. This mod is much harder than the original Portal, requiring more prowess. Also, the fact I played it on a laptop, using a touchpad, didn't help.

愛 · 08-02-2009, 06:53 PM

I keep forgetting that I have Portal on my Steam account. I should get some mods and play it more.

*The Deadman* · 08-02-2009, 06:57 PM

I just freaking beat Sonic 3 and Knuckles.....15 levels of pure mayhem

saiyan_monkey · 08-09-2009, 10:35 PM

Final Fantasy XII - Never liked it a first but after 110 hours and a heap of fun I have finished it. I still have a save spot to go finish other stuff in the game like hunts and items/weapons to find etc. Overall good game and look forward to FFXIII

**Barkworm** · 08-10-2009, 02:24 AM

I beat Nyxquest and Tales of Monkey Island: Episode 1 on WiiWare. Nyxquest was a good game, a lot like the LostWinds (gameplay mechanics were pretty much the same). Monkey Island would have been great if I hadn't played it on the Wii. It was still good but I've never played a game with a sh*ttier framerate.
