    Wow, I didn't realize! I guess that means I have good timing! I didn't even mean to play it, I just gave it a look and got sucked in! So far, I like it better than the GBA one.

    What it means is that I haven't been properly updating the new releases thread! Ugh, I remember to add an obscure rpg no one is going to play, but forget Mario and Luigi.

    September 14th. "Bowser's Inside Story" If you haven't read any of the Japanese previews you might be in for an amusing surprise.

    The new Professor Layton just came out. Such an addicting series. Definitely lots more neat ambience.

    Currently playing:

    Fight Night Round 4 (good god, I have an unhealthy love for this game) and Madden 10 with a side order of TF2 when I can't use the PS3 for some reason.

    I haven't found much time for Metroid Prime yet. So far, it makes me dizzy. This is one of those games I can only play for an hour at a time before I need a break, unlike the ones I will play all day and night without realizing where the time went ala Evil Genius, which I bought on a whim for $5 on Steam. Addictive, but could be a lot better.

    Dissidia is more meaty than I expected. The story of course sucks, but everything else is pretty cool. I was surprised just how much variety there is among the characters. You level up and gain new attacks, level up attacks themselves, buy new equipment, etc. There are a ton of unlockables, and a nifty in-game achievement system that keeps track of several semi-hidden stats, like how many steps you have taken, how many battles won, etc, and then doles out prizes when you achieve the objective.

    Just finished Batman: Arkham Asylum. Fantastic game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Batman. It's the first, and only, comic book game that I really recommend. It's just really good.
    There are other worlds than these.

    great game...I think sydney might be an npc you can gain as a follower, I felt the same immersion when I met Fawkes. Then one day I guess I lost him w/o noticing, and a mega behemoth bashed me in while I was looking for him....ramble ramble blah blah.

    What? You have it already? Boooooo, gimme gimme. I'm getting mine Tuesday I think. It, Mario and Luigi, and Metroid Prime 2 are what I will be playing now.



    Dissidia is really good, it has a lot of content. I've been playing it for three weeks and still have a lot more to do, although it is probably going to get less and less use once I start with the DS games.

    Metroid Prime is pretty good, but I don't think I will ever like it as much as existing fans. I'll probably beat it today and start the second one. I'm not sure if I can handle three in a row (it wasn't my original plan), but I want to try and beat these before Rocktober. That's going to be a friggin insane month for releases.

    Yes, I have it, but that’s all I’m saying. Believe the hype. It’s the first game in years that is truly innovative, fun and makes you think. I can’t say enough great things about Scribblenauts and I’m serious – there aren’t any other games this year that will be better than this game – everything else down the pike is a sequel or derivative, and any other game getting awarded Game of the Year is WRONG!.

    Spoilers:

    What Scribblenauts taught me today – if you put god and the devil in the same room, god wins and…..

    Yesterday, I learned that you can get a cat off of a roof by climbing up and picking him up, flying up and picking it up, knocking the cat of the roof with a rock, placing a dog on the roof with the cat, or luring him down with cat Food. THIS GAME IS FRICKING AWESOME.

    …. And Hippies, the game has a Hippie!

    We should have a thread devoted to crazy shit we thought up.

    Visiting my mom now, and I was bored. Was going to get her a chair for her 50th birthday, but really now, what will a 50 year old woman enjoy the most? A silly chair or a PS3???

    I decided PS3.... So. Downloading the Uncharted 2 beta thingy now.

    She is away for the weekend, and will most likely be very surprised with her newly acquired gaming console. Also bought her Buzz TV quiz.

    I laughed for hours watching a friend play Grand Theft Auto: 4 (GTA4). He bought it for me for my birthday - I'm enjoying the single player game.

    And Civilization, still - though now I also have it on the DS!

    A friend came to visit today, and he brought Planescape:Torment with him. I plan on enjoying that this winter.
