WRUP: That's a decade edition

I'm flying back to my apartment on Saturday, so this week's going to be a bit strange.

Until the flight, it'll be all about the PC, since I've gone kind of crazy with deals on steam. I'll probably stick to Torchlight (which I've beaten but I feel like playing it more), and I may try Osmos again. I had some trouble getting into it, which is a bit surprising, since the game it reminds me most of is flOw and I really liked flow.

On the plane I'll probably play a lot of Patapon 2. Maybe some Lumines.

Once I get back, I have a copy of Arkham Asylum that I've been dying to play since Christmas.

Vice City, San Andreas, God of War, Pokemon Ruby, and Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

Just gonna play through my christmas gifts. eg: MGS1/2/3, Shadow of the Colossus, and Puyo Puyo 2.

Borderlands mostly. May tinker some more in Gyromancer and Dark Void. Trying to clear out my schedule for Darksiders next week.

Going through my Steam back catalog.

i actually just finished beating all the original splinter cell games, and i am going to start on double agent tomorrow, good idea xav!

I'll be playing through Valkyria Chronicles and Star Wars: KOTOR. In fact, I've been buying up quite a few original XBOX games of late. I just nabbed Red Dead Revolver, Genma Onimusha, Godzilla: Save the Earth, and Shenmue 2 for about $20 or so at an indie used game store near me. What's awesome is that they were pretty much brand new when I got them. I love finding older games on the cheap when I'm out and about. Last weak I managed to get Yakuza 1 & 2 for $35 brand new at an FYE near me.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that I'm more into the older games than the newer ones. I think KOTOR is way better than Mass Effect, if for no other reason than it being nearly twice as long without any DLC to speak of. I know that the graphics aren't nearly as good, but it's the gameplay that really draws me in. Mass Effect felt too much like a really good Gears of War clone with RPG elements thrown in, but KOTOR manages to feel fresher simply because a lot of what is used in ME is found in KOTOR. I guess that's the reason why I really like Dragon Age despite the graphics feeling as if they're about 6 or 7 years out of date.

Anyhoo, I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years and I'll see you on the other side in Arthur C. Clark's '2010: Odyssey Two'.

BTW, say a prayer for the people in Iran.

Halo 3,Halo 3 ODST, FFCCROF , FFCCEOT,God of war

I'll be playing Final Fantasy VI. This game used to piss me off back when I was younger, I had to pay $70 for this game (my parents refused to buy my the game, so I had to save some money for it), I always got confused in the game (story and where to go next), I sucked at boss battles, and my characters would die all the time.

But now I've decided to play this game again after 15 or 16 years, because from what I've heard it's the best Final Fantasy game ever. I hope I'm much better at the game, though it was my first RPG and RPGs were not my type back when I was younger.

Oh I might as well play some MW2 and Team Fortress 2. Add me on Xbox Live, my Gamertag is InfiniteMovie.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Dragon Age and Symphony of the Night will probably take most of my attention until MW2 sings its siren song. I'll probably play some N.O.V.A. or Spirit Tracks at work if I get some time and I'm gonna try to finish World 9 on NSMB Wii.

I'm just going be playing some Team Fortress 2 and replaying Batman Arkham Asylam on Hard. I'll probably also play Warhawk (haven't played that game in a year).

Happy New Year!

I'll be playing the game I should've been playing long ago: The Orange Box. I'll also be putting some time into New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Wii Sports Resort.

Happy New Year everyone, can't believe it's 2010. Ending a new decade, and starting a new one. Here's for another awesome year we've had, and another one to come.

I'll be going through all my wii games, particularly mario galaxy. It's fun and all, but it's not this life changing game of the generation experience everyone was talking about. It feels like an updated Mario 64 to be honest.

I don't know whether it's because I have 14 wii games to play, but I have a hard time playing any of them for over an hour without getting bored. Most of them are decent games and all, they just lack the level of fun I get out of my 360/ps3 games. I don't know how you wii only owners do it.

Wow, Joystiq...I'd been considering my top five games of the decade all day...guess we think alike, eh? I'll save them till next week.

This weekend, I'm playing Final Fantasy X (shut up, it was my first one and I love it!), Half-Life (PS2 or PC), The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4 (GC), Luigi's Mansion, and I'll pop Pokemon Red into the Super Game Boy for a while.

I would play FF VIII...but I just found the combat so disappointing. It was like the Passive Active Time Battle System.
