I'm very thankful that they nixed having to get the gold flag with all characters, because that would just suck and render the method of using extra controllers to get the completion rating worthless. Plus, that method won't even work for people who don't have extra controllers or friends locally to play it with. Sigh...

Simply put, the games I am playing are as follows:

Zelda: Majora's Mask I had to download the emulator on my computer through Project 64, but overall, like OoT, a very nice game, I liked it's predecessor better, but that's a preference.

 

Final Fantasy XIII I've had the game for years, beat it quickly, but am now doinga new playthrough to get all the Achievements on the 360. Almost there, just missing those last few almost-impossible achievements.

 

That's it, other than Minecraft, but that game quickly gets boring to listen to people talk about.

Currently playing Kingdoms Of Amaulur: Reckoning. For the first time in I think forever, the game is on special. If you buy the Steam version you can play the game using Steam, if you buy any other version of the game (Retail for example) then you're stuck with EA Origin. Anyways back to the topic of the game being on special, if you live in Australia the price was bumped up to the RRP and THEN discounted instead of applying the discount to the current price prior to the discount.

So if you live in Australia it isn';t quite 70% off, because they hiked the price before applying the discount...

Anyways, although the developers have gone bankrupt and the game is now in "Limbo" and never likely to see any patches or updates... the game is quite fantastic and well done. Well worth the money, a shame the money won't go to the people that made it though due to them going bankrupt :/

Starcraft II. So much Starcraft II.

 

I also occasionally play League of Legends with my friends.

 

As for one player games: I've been playing a lot of Super Mario 3D Land. I like the game, although in my opinion the first playthrough is wayyyyyy too easy (I finished with 127 lives). I've also just reinstalled Skyrim, and I started the first Assasin's Creed for the first time as I've never played any of them, and I'm enjoying it. I've also been playing a bit of Diablo III because I'm excited about the expansion, as well as Blizzard's decision to take out the auction house in the game. 

 

Oh, and then of course there's the occasional driving game such as DiRT or Shift 2, and sometimes I like to play some CoD Ghosts or Battlefield 4.

 

My steam library has piled up so high that I need to play more games. I feel terrible but all of the steam sales and humble bundles are hard to resist when there are tons of games that I've wanted to play but couldn't because of finances.

Fired up Valkyrie Profile Silmeria on PS2. First off, I am VERY impressed with the production value of this game. It might be one of the most beautiful games on the PS2. I like how it supports 16:9 resolution which makes the game look awesome on an HDTV. I haven't gotten into the battle sequences yet. I'll share my thoughts on it later.

 

If Ventus only had a PS2...oh wait he does.

Right now I haven't been playing games as much as I been quest designing. But I have been playing Flames of Eternity (a Chrono Trigger fangame). Not sure if I like it or not yet though, so I'm just playing bits at a time.

I've finally gotten to Penny Arcade 4. Game number three wasn't bad, but I honestly enjoyed 1 and 2 more just because the writing seemed to stand out a bit more. Three still had its funny moments, but it felt more like a standard RPG than the first two did. So far, 4 seems better than 3 in my opinion, but I've only gotten halfway through Ice Cream Cave, so I've still got a ways to go.

 

Also, I loved how they introduced Mr. Beaks. Gabe was hilarious at that point.

 

Also, also, I miss the Fruit F******s.

I went ahead and started Pokemon X once more, this time turning off EXP Share and so far the game is a little harder now but not much.

[trucky5]

I found that turning of EXP share at the beginning made it just as hard as any other Pokemon game in my opinion, and made the game pace a bit better. Otherwise it's super short.

I didn't turn it off the first time I played through it and just had an awful time with the game... It just went by to fast and it was to easy to enjoy.

At least with turning the EXP Share off it really has fixed some of my issues I had with the game, But still its going to have a hard time getting to like it as much as the other games.

I'm giving Telltale Games' The walking dead So far finished the 1st episode and man that was quite enjoyable but damn the choices you have to make are pretty tough.

So far the game is pretty good I really like how its like watching a show.

[Eddy]

So I beat ALBW last night (totally unexpected ending...), and next I've started playing Pokemon X at last. My god it's an amazing masterpiece... but, I do prefer all the Gen 3 games so far. Still a nice awesome game though.

[Ventus]

Finished the The walking dead: Season 1 and damn that was a fine game it was wonderful best fun I've had with a PC game in some time.

 

A friend has given me a game called Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny for the Wii and Its supposed to be like harvest moon or something but I've never even of the game before, it does seem fun though has some RPG aspects shoved in it so it might be good who knows.

Bravely Default + Tales of the Abyss = Welp, there goes my social life

Pac Man 2: The New Adventures. Waiting to see how many people actually heard of this obscure game. Anyway, for those that DO know about it, I just spent the past half hour killing him off in hilarious ways. To name a few "deaths":

• Getting slammed into a door someone opened super fast
• Hitting a rock while on a skateboard, faceplanting into a tree and zig-zagging to the ground like a pancake
• Tripping over the skateboard with it coming down and hitting Pacman on the head
• Having Pacman REALLY angry and him kick the skateboard against the rock, making it fly back and knock him out
• Getting scared to death by the ghosts
• Getting mauled by a cat
• Getting mauled by a cat after having it steal Pacman's hot dog
• Shooting the hot dog vendor, making him squirt ketchup all over Pacman's head with him turning to the player, frowning and shrugging (what kind of death is THAT?)
• Same as above but making the cat maul him after getting ketchup'ed
• Shooting a cow with the slingshot and having her knock Pacman out with her tail
• Chasing a chicken, crashing into a tree and getting stung to death by angry bees
• Shooting the farmer's rake then having Pacman step on it, whacking himself with it and passing out from it
• Same as above but shooting Pacman to jump over it, only for him to land on it and pass out that way

Two things. First of all, death does is basically act like a reset button for that screen. There are no lives in this game. Secondly, when I say shooting I mean with a slingshot you control. You don't control Pacman at all. Instead you have to guide him with the slingshot and a pointer finger that says "LOOK!" "LOOK!". It's a short but fun puzzle game.
