I just finished Kirby - not 100% yet but I've got all of the levels completed. Still need to fill in all of the collectables and get gold on every level, but that's a "later" goal.

I just got Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 in the post for cheap and am giving that a go, mostly to review and catalog before I move on to something else.

I got me Smackdown vs Raw 2011 yesterday!!! I didn't get to play much, all I did was the tutorial and from what I played it feels really great. Good thing I get out early from school today.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-27-2010, 04:53 PM

Castlevania HD, Super Meat Boy, and Hydrophobia.

All awesome.

Just picked up Darksiders after playing the demo today. Really dug the art style.

Anyone here have anything to say on it?

*Brodie* · 10-28-2010, 12:43 AM

I really enjoyed Darksiders, I had been waiting for a while for that game, mostly because it was Joe Madrueia's pet project, and the reason he left comics. He ended up wanting to design game stuff, and Darksiders is the end result. Hence the very specific art style.

He's the same guy who did X-Men in the mid 90's after Jim lee left the series.

All in all its a pretty solid game. I'm anticipating the sequel, but it might be a while.

If you want a very violent Zelda-esque game, Darksiders is great.

just picked up the new SD!vR 2011 game. LOVE IT.

Melt · 10-29-2010, 09:24 AM

I got Costume Quest. Love it! Very charming game. I read a review that said it was kind of on training wheels and I agree with that but everything else about it more than makes up for it.

just got the new Smackdown vs Raw 2011 on PS3!

Picked up BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and Super Street Fighter IV for the 360. Also, my fightstick came in the mail today. Super excited.

This is what we call an epic evening. Easily the two best fighters of this generation (so far).

360. I always wait for PC versions of Bethesda games to drop in price, because then I just use them for insane mods.

Also, in on the CoD argument. CoD 2 > The rest of the series. Past that, I've felt the campaigns in all of the games have been just...awful. And as I'm not much of a multiplayer person, campaign has to be the strongest point of a game.

Peanut · 10-30-2010, 01:04 AM

Gonna jump in on several subjects.

1) That asshole a page back actually used a f*cking cheezburger picture as a comeback? Jesus.
2) Wrestling games. lol for over half a decade now.
3) Darksiders - Awesome game, but never beat it. Biggest game-related monkey on my back for a long time now.
4) Costume Quest was an amazing little game. Double Fine should focus on those kinds of products.
5) lol at queers with their fight sticks.

On my own subject, got Rock Band 3 and think the track list is AWFUL thus far. So sick of Harmonix releasing dlc, and now entire games, packed with butt-rock, indie sh*t, played out "classics", and trashy metal. The competitive rhythm music idiots have enough crap, they need to put some focus on FUN music.

*Candy Kappa* · 10-30-2010, 06:12 AM

The Russian mob quest got bugged on Vampires, so I restated and plays a Malkavian.
Malkavians are freakin awesome

Are you calling me a queer? HUH!? Listen, the fightstick feels goooooood. Got that old school arcade feel? Then you play some arcade games with it? Good times.

*Ninjinister* · 10-30-2010, 09:27 AM

The only people I know that get fightsticks are the kind that argue tiers, count frames, and study Youtube videos of matches. And usually they have like 3 fightsticks per console anyway. Everyone I know has an "adapt or die" philosophy to fighting game control.

愛 · 10-30-2010, 09:37 AM

Well, I bought it because I wanted to play arcade games on MAME with a stick, as well as Touhou. I'm terrible at fighting games. I'm okay at GG and BB, but those are button mashers, anyway.

*Ninjinister* · 10-30-2010, 11:07 AM

I've never been able to really use a stick as well as I have a pad, unfortunately. Hell, I'm more proficient with a keyboard.

愛 · 10-30-2010, 12:13 PM

Using a stick takes a lot of getting used to. I played the hell out of it last night and I think I got the hang of it. Shoot-em-ups are going to take a lot of work, I must admit.

*Ninjinister* · 10-30-2010, 12:21 PM

Strangely, it's actually shoot-'em-ups (especially vertical shooters) that I can work well with a stick.
