I just got Sonic Heroes, Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex, and Ghost Recon 1 and 2. And hopefully be able to exchange the bad copy of Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex for TMNT on Gameboy at GameStop because I got a better Crash at Amazon.

Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth (WiIWare)
Flower (PSN)
Shatter (PSN)

Castlevania Rebirth is a hell of a remake. Its pure authentic 16-bit all the way through. They did the Game Boy classic proud. Even the classic Konami early 90s FM sound is authentic. Reminds me of Turtles in Time and Gradius III.

Holy cow, Castlevania Adventure Rebirth?! I had no idea this was even being made, let alone got released. I'm off to get some Wii Points straight away.

*Ninjinister* · 01-02-2010, 04:38 AM

PSP
Kenka Banchou: Badass Rumble
Samurai Shodown Anthology
The Con

Xbox 360
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2
Hellboy: The Science of Evil
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

EDIT: After spending some time with each o' these games, I must say Kenka Banchou is my favorite of all six. Although not extremely well-made, there is a lot to do, and it has a lot of humor. Not to mention that it's pretty darn fun.

Watchmen was easily the worst. It feels very clunky and unfinished. 90% of the stuff I like about beat-'em-ups has been tossed out. Even for initially being quick-buck LIVE titles, TEIN 1 & 2 feel lacing. BlazBlue comes in second. It is totally not the second coming of fighting game Jesus everyone proclaimed it to be, and it feels much like a very neutered Guilty Gear. Sure is pretty though.

I finally played the demo today and as far as the gameplay is concerned everything is blatanly copied from the GoW games. I was disappointed with the graphics and the awkward style mix but apart from that it seems promising.

*Cure* · 01-05-2010, 06:50 PM

Bayonetta and Darksiderrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.

*Cure* · 01-05-2010, 06:51 PM

Bayonetta is pretty awesome, you guys.

Currently splurging myself in Assassin's Creed II. Also got Soul Calibur IV and having a crack at that. I still grin like a loon seeing any characters I have created coming to life and using them to kick some ass about.

*XERO* · 01-05-2010, 08:43 PM

That's what it's all about, lady.

*Ninjinister* · 01-05-2010, 08:55 PM

I actually preferred SCIII's Create a Soul mode over IV's. SCIV's clothing system is too tied to your character's stats, meaning that sometimes you have to wear something fugly and/or take off things you want to wear just so you don't get murdered.

Also: they removed the Kick Glaive weapon, which was essential for one of my SCIII characters that I recreated in IV. That kind of irked me.

*XERO* · 01-05-2010, 09:22 PM

Not playing, but I observed my buddy plow through Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

I'm like, SO in love with the soundtrack right now.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-06-2010, 05:37 AM

still playing vampire the masquerade: bloodlines, werewolf part.

愛 · 01-06-2010, 08:40 AM

Still playing through Assassin's Creed II. Much better than the first game. I got Mirror's Edge coming today, so I'll knock that game out real quick.

**Barkworm** · 01-06-2010, 01:53 PM

I just played through A Boy and his Blob. Very cool game. The controls can be a bit fidgety at some points but I haven't played a game as charming as this one in a long time.

*Cure* · 01-06-2010, 06:27 PM

I beat Bayonetta, lolz. So good. I was thinking of getting the Hard mode achievements but I died in the first fight and was like "f*ck thaaaaaaaat".

Still one of my favorite games of all time.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-06-2010, 09:23 PM

Yeah, gotta' say I'm going to miss 2D Castelvania. All those sequels and still nothing touched SotN.

*XERO* · 01-06-2010, 09:43 PM

Yeah, how can you not love a game with such corny, but legendary dialogue like this:

Dracula: "What is a man?! A miserable pile of secrets. But enough talk... have at you!"

*Cure* · 01-07-2010, 07:18 PM

Now I'm playing Darksiders! Also pretty cool.
