Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time. Been replaying it and blitzed through the main story in three days with about 50 outings. I found the final boss to be much tougher than in my previous playthrough since I ended up as a Pikachu instead of Treeko(Detect is the most broken move in the game!) and that I and my partner (Chose Turtwig) didn't have any moves that it didn't resist and so I had to resort to normal attacking (with Turtwig abusing Light Screen and Reflect), which was extremley dangerous b/c it's Dragon Claw did 70 damage minimal w/o protection.

Other than that, it has been almost smooth sailing with having Lucario and Vibrava at my side and I'm currently at the point of rescuing Scizor from Blizzard Island. I attemped once; but it was too tough, I ran into three monster houses and had to escape after running out of Reviver Seeds. I've been trying to replenish my stock before going again.

I am currently, when I can get on with no parents creeping in every five minutes, playing through Oblivion again... Awaiting with bated breath the arrival of the amazing Skyrim.

Also, I am playing thru Fallout 3 and New Vegas as well... I pretty much Mastered FO3, but New Vegas has just not really caught my attention...

Also... Terraria and Minecraft are both amazing games. They just did not keep my attention for more than a fortnight.
Why can't you play if your parents enter your room? o.O

But anyway, Skyrim is amazing! I've already played the E3 demo at work, but I'm going to an editorial meeting in a few hours and I'm hearing rumors that they've gotten a preivew-copy. Which is basically the entire game, except the main quest probably locks itself after you get halfway through or something like that. That's how it usually is, and how it was with Oblivion anyway. So yeah, I'll be playing that tonight! icon_biggrin.gif And probably a couple of rounds of the review copy of BF3, along with the one of Uncharted 3, with a little spice of Batman: Arkham City. Ahh, gonna be a swell night icon_smile.gif

You suck for playing it before us...

and My Parents... They are ... Different. And they really don't respect my privacy, and if they don't like something, you bet you are going to hear about it. Even though I moved out, they followed me and they are still trying to control everything about me...

Also, where do you work??

It's my job to play games before you icon_razz.gif I'm a games journalist/reviewer. I write for Gamereactor, which is actually Scandinavia's biggest gaming magazine (and website).

I've been playing Warriors Orochi, and loving it. The last Warriors game I really got into was Dynasty Warriors 4 (I played DW6 but it was terrible). Orochi is an awesome mix between new and old DW, plus it's good to ease into the Samurai Warriors series (which I was never able to get into).

The one thing I can't stand is the menu music. It's this horrible grating synth raver doof doof garbage. Bring back the heavy guitar riffs from DW4!

Oh god. I've been getting way too much enjoyment out of SpaceChem. I should not be having this much fun with (fake) chemistry. I mean, I just synthesized acetylene out of hydrogen and carbon. And enjoyed the hell outta it.

Don't play this game. It will drive you mad.

Well, I just recently started playing Kirby Mass Attack, and I've gotta say that it's one of the very very few Touch Screen Controls only games that I like, and will play. Very neat concept behind it though, and it does prove to be challenging here and there, especially with there being different ranks on levels, and to get gold, you can't get hurt at all. icon_razz.gif Great game!

I am currently playing Shining Force 2 on Wii Virtual Console. And I will likely continue to play it frequently, as long as I lack a working computer. icon_confused.gif

I applaud you! Is this your first time playing it? It doesn't sound like it, but given the way you worded it, I thought I might ask.

I'm not sure what you count as 100%, though. It seems especially unclear in a game with the New Game+ option. Not to mention, the SNES version doesn't tally your "completed endings" for you the way the DS version does.

I started playing Halo 3: ODST yesterday for the first time. I'm seriously hooked on it, I don't know why people give it so much hate.

Well, tonight I started playing Final Fantasy IX on my PSP. I am on a huge Final Fantasy kick lately! I dunno, I just enjoy the series, at least up to Final Fantasy X. After that I just don't care for them anymore. They don't have the same feel to them.. I dunno. icon_shrug.gif
