Yeah, so I’ve gotten back into gaming. W00t. I don’t appreciate my ps3 enough, so I’ve been buying it games lately. I’m rather selfless like that =P

I finished Batman Arkham Asylum last week and, while very short, is an awesome game. One of the best games I’ve played in a long, long time. The storyline was epic, the villains truly epic, and I loved that you didn’t actually fight most of them, not really. The Scarecrow segments were easily the best and the fighting system is so simple yet so devastatingly gripping. And on the ps3 you get to play as the Joker =D

5/5

Trailer for the uninitiated:




Keeping in line with the superhero theme, I bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. This is a solid game so far, but there’s nothing special here. It feels like a glossy rethread, even though the civil war storyline is a landmark story in the comic world. And I feel a bit cheated that you have to decide which half of the roster you want to use, whereas in the first one you had every character at your disposal.

So far 3/5

Trailer:



Oh and there’s no fancy camera work like that in the game – total lie. Lie, I say.

So what you playing at the mo? Any games u think I should play? And Sarina, I know, Guitar Hero is awesome ;-)

Hellz yeah Guitar Hero is awesome :awesome:

However, my favorite game ever is Banjo Kazooie. I love the old-school Nintendo 64 games.

The only games I have on PS3 are Guitar Heroes 3-5... do you have any other consoles? If you have an X-Box (original, not 360) then you MUST get Jet Set Radio Future.

Okay.

As far as Wii/Gamecube games go, the Mario Party series will always be my favorite :awesome:

Wario Ware Smooth Moves is really fun too. And Mario Kart.


I know more about the original X-Box and N64 though :P Got 2 pre-owned X-box games today, $13 each :awesome:. That's the only way to buy them now.

Fox and Link aren't as fun to play in the more recent versions.

I love Falco in Melee and Brawl.

I :heart: my DS :awesome:

I need Pokemon HeartGold. Never ever have I been this excited over a game before. Like, I would gladly give up all my other (DS) games to have HeartGold RIGHT NOW (... except Nintendogs. I've bonded with my dogs... I can't just give them up). I NEED IT. And it doesn't come out in countries that aren't Japan until freaking next year :iguess:

My brother is going to get Arkham Asylum soon (for XBOX360). He had the demo, but it looked kinda crap to me :P

Sarina, Jet Set Radio Future was pretty cool. Weird, but cool.

Ok, so I finished Marvel:2, it wasn't as good or as epic as the first instalment, but it was enjoyable enough.

I traded it in and got two other games - Genji and Condemned 2. I'm just installing Condemned 2 now, it reminds me of Manhunt, and that was a freakin awesome game. Scarily awesome.

Lol, you have to rip off toilet seat lids and beat meth heads to death with them. AWESOME.

Actually, that reminds me of Logo the toilet in Banjo Kazooie...

He's in my favorite level, Mad Monster Mansion. I have so much love for that level it's not funny. On days I was feeling shitty, I used to just explore it. I know the entire level back to front.

It was one of the games that came for free with the original XBOX. I don't think I would have known what it was otherwise.

I liked quite a lot of the songs used. Though it's been years so I've forgotten most of them. Which song are you referring to though?

That's actually how I know about it too. So happy it did come with the X-Box, a life not knowing the song Aisle 10 (Hello Allison) by Scapegoat Wax is not a full quality life.

However, anything by the Latch Brothers is also awesome. I'm partial to Count Latchula and the Latch Brothers Bounce.
