Ahh, a great game. Its a little formulaic at times, but overall an awesome game. Great soundtrack too.

You never cease to amaze me, Ninji.

This gentleman right here is leaving no puzzle unsolved.

10 hours in and I'm loving Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box so far. The puzzles people bring up make more sense in context this time around and it feels like there is more variation. Story-wise it hasn't been grabbing me so much yet but I feel like it's barely getting started revealing bits and pieces of the plot. At its core the game is definitely "more of the same," but that's exactly what I expected and wanted from it, so I'm not complaining.

Beat Metal gear solid 3 for the second time in my life, just last night. Favorite game ever

.

I think I'll start a new game, and play some metroid corruption when I'm done. Just hooked the wii up to the surround sound speakers, so I'm hoping Metroid can impress me.

Hell to the yes.

I however am playing TMNT 3 The Manhattan Project for NES. I finally got my hands on it again.

*Ninjinister* · 08-30-2009, 06:34 PM

After getting my ass kicked on Bonk's Adventure, I moved on to Streets of Rage 2. Wrecked Mr. X and will move on to the next game....

*Brodie* · 08-30-2009, 10:58 PM

Hey genius,
Drake's Fortune came out before that ****** I Am Legend "remake."

the end of the game blows, for sure, but atleast get your **** straight if you're going to say something is a ripoff, especially if you're saying it ripped off a ****** movie that stole it's title from a book it has nothing to do with.

*Voltron* · 08-31-2009, 12:37 AM

Amen, brother. I wish Will Smith would stop taking ***** on literary classics.

I didn't think any of the puzzles* were a problem late in the game, my problem was with the significant lack of them. Pretty much all of the platforming and puzzle solving is replaced with ridiculous amounts of combat. And considering the aiming and enemy hit-detection is awful, that's a very bad turn for the game.

*Puzzles in Uncharted basically amount to looking at the journal, then performing the exact action it's relaying to you.

*Brodie* · 08-31-2009, 08:53 AM

From what I read the sequel is 40 percent puzzles/platforming...and 60 percent combat....awesome...not really.

*The Stryker* · 08-31-2009, 11:40 AM

Beat Arkham Asylum.

I liked it but It's getting far too much praise. Especially since the last portion of the game is **** on a stick.

****in' A.

2nd time this happened. The first time happened after only a hour of play, maybe. Not a big deal. After that I made sure it wasn't autosaving when I quit. I was like 30% of the way through and I've got another corrupt file. I don't know if I have the will to play through 4 hours of the same **** again.

*Cure* · 08-31-2009, 02:08 PM

Batman is good it just does not do boss fights well.

Fixed. Half of the boss fights weren't even boss fights.

*Brodie* · 08-31-2009, 02:37 PM

I thought the boss fights were more interesting than some of the other **** I had to do.

Edit: Stryker is right. Maybe I'm moreso interested in characters, not the gameplay.

But yeah, they tend to be more interesting than bombing around in detective mode.

*The Stryker* · 08-31-2009, 02:39 PM

Taking off vent cover, crawling in said vent, coming out of vent and walking down a hallway only to find another vent.

Man, that got old.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-31-2009, 03:39 PM

From the Uncharted 2 beta co-op stuff I played the combat was pretty good once you got the hang of it. Although I suspect the absolute bullet sponge enemies will turn up in droves towards the end.
