Playing 2 games at once.

 

Ys III for the PC Engine, and Tales of Xillia for the PS3.

 

Ys III has some crazy epic music.  It just pops (the PC Engine one in particular: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=spYkKm0yGZU, http://www.youtube.c...h?v=TUlWlhTQISI, and http://www.youtube.c...h?v=RJ47Ev2TExQ.)

 

Hard to believe that game came out 24 years ago.

I guess someone took advantage of Tales of Xillia being $10 this week on PSN. That's an incredible value though IMO, Xillia is nowhere near as good as Vesperia but I thought it was better than Graces.

Actually, I got the collector's edition for Christmas from my Grandpa.  Best part, is that the DLC costumes you get from it, change the battle music when they're equipped.  So, if Jude wears Cress's armor decorum, the battle theme will change to the Tales of Phantasia battle theme.

 

Totally agree on Vesperia, but Abyss and Symphonia are my favorite.

Barbie for NES Terranigma.

Why not combine the two into one game? The Legend of Sonic: A Link Between Lost Worlds.

Legend of Amy Rose 3 confirmed?

Made it passed the third full moon boss on Persona 3 Portable. Making some good time on this version of the game... Man still though it feels like a grind fest still, wish It didn't take so long to lever up. Well at least I can control my team now so I can end battles faster.

I tried out the Lightning Returns FFXIII demo and my first impressions with this game...*yawn*...zzzzzzzzzzz..........Yes it felt too boring not to mention the game feels very uninspired. The battle system is pretty repetitive. I spent most of my time doing this pattern: Mash buttons until I run out of ATB *shift* Mash buttons until I run out of ATB *shift* (repeat until the enemies die). And guess what, cosplay from X-2 is back in this game. What the hell is SE thinking with some of Lightning's outfits? I cancelled my preorder of LR for a reason that the game will be a disappointment and playing this demo will not make me preorder again. Instead of getting Lightning Returns, I plan to get this game.

 

Supposedly it's supposed to be like Phoenix Wright and the Zero series games (999 and Virtue's Last Reward).

Just played Wrecking Crew for the 3DS Virtual Console and I am highly disappointed with it.
This game is filled with questionable design choices, the majority of which revolve around you getting permanentley stuck, which forces you to go back to the title screen and go back into the level. Several levels actually go out of their way to trap you in this way, which is just plain cheap. Speaking of which; you get lives, but they are practically useless because you can return to the title screen at the press of a button and then return to the exact level you dropped out of at full lives.

Blitzed through Metroid Fusion in 1:47 with 23% completion, which I was pretty proud of. I'm playing Mega Man Maverick Hunter X right now, but then I'm not sure what I'll move on to. I'm thinking of picking up Assassin's Creed 4, but I don't know if I want to take that plunge.

Recently started playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Earthbound.

 

Currently, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate seems incredibly fun, and the online multiplayer is amazing.

 

Earthbound deserves all the hype it gets, I love it so far.

I haven't tried the demo, but that does not sound good at all... I've seen some videos of it and the battle system just does seems pretty dumbed down. I don't know I'm kinda glad that I didn't preorder the game, I mean I might pick it up like a while after release but I'm not going to break my back to get it at release.

 

I just don't what was going through SE mind when they decided to drag the XIII series on any longer, with that being said I hope that FFXV is not going to flop like LR.

In other news, I've finally got a hold of Dreamcast VMU... Now I can finally play all the Dreamcast games I have. Luckily I only had to pay $3 for the VMU But I will say when I do play the Dreamcast the controller is just weird to hold I guess I'll have to make myself get used to it.

Playing some Ratchet and Clank from the HD Collection. Man I'm having such a blast with this game. So far I think platforming is executed much better in this game than Jak and Daxter. And I love the presentation value. 

[Russ]

Better than Jak and Daxter? Huh. Might need to give it another go then. I have the very first Ratchet game on the PS2, and it was fun, but it didn't really draw me in and I never finished it.

I finally finished Dual Destinies' DLC case, and that was... Interesting. Fun in a kinda nonsensical way. As far as bonus cases go, it's no Rise from the Ashes, but it was fun.

I also picked up Pokemom Conquest and started playing that. I've never really been into strategy RPGs, but it seems alright so far.

Battle Network 5 (again) - I don't know if  I will 100% as I did with 2 and 4, given my schedule, but I am going to show those Navis who's the boss 

 

TF2 - I haven't played in awhile and I should have recorded my failing it would have made someone's day (I hope).
