Mirrors Edge. Nearly at the end now. Got stuck a few months ago because I was going for the no guns achievement on Medium (which I now know is pretty damn impossible), so I restarted on Easy. Really enjoying it. If Mirrors Edge 2 ever comes out, it'll be great. I'll lash through Hard when I'm done.
Far from impossible - managed it myself on my one playthrough
There is a part with a sniper rifle you have to use, but doesn't count towards the achievement. Shame there's guns in the first place tbh - playing it without makes you think about things differently - there are some bastard bits that make you think the developer hates you for not shooting though.
Have plenty of games on the go at the moment - Dead Space (which is superb, the most atmospheric game I've played in a while), Street Fighter IV (which Im awful at), Chinatown Wars and the PopCap duo (Peggle and Plants vs Zombies). Also have Persona 4 ready to go. Lots to keep me going for a month or so at least.0 -

Portrait of Ruin: Not as good as the older ones but still an excllent game.

A bit of SF2 and Left 4 Dead every so often.

Hi
My name is Gummy and I'm a recovering WoW addict.
PS3
Dead Space - going to finish this soon.
Valkyria Chronicles - Deleted my save so i can start a fresh and enjoy the story.
Demons Souls - Need to put more time into this.. especially to piss off the people still waiting for back log copies :pac:
InFamous will soon be added to list. Not buying in store though as €69.99 RRP from SCEE is too high. Gonna order from shopto.net tonight.
PS2
Persona 3 - love this game and have persona 4 waiting to be played too.
PSP
FFVI: Crisis Core - Has become a chore to play afterkilling angeal and have your holiday at the beach. How come i was killing soldiers with an umbrella?
DS
Chrono Trigger - Love this game and glad they remade it. Please remake Secret of Mana as well. Gummy love you long time.
Final Fantasy IV - Have always loved this snes classic. Really good update and you can see straight away that bosses have been retuned.. even the first boss fight is a challenge now.0 -
Now that we're heading into a quiet patch, its a good time to catch up on games that you missed (or never finished).
Xbox 360
Mirrors Edge. Nearly at the end now. Got stuck a few months ago because I was going for the no guns achievement on Medium (which I now know is pretty damn impossible), so I restarted on Easy. Really enjoying it. If Mirrors Edge 2 ever comes out, it'll be great. I'll lash through Hard when I'm done.
Space Invaders Extreme: I don't think its as good as the DS version and the music makes my ears bleed (I now have music volume set to 0), but its a fun game, and a serious challenge to play properly.
I think I'll grit my teeth and try Fallout 3 again next. Didn't get very far the first time I played it.
DS
Zelda Oracle of Ages (in a game of continuation after finishing Oracle of Seasons). Unless Nintendo start pushing these out on the DSi store, these gems will vanish into obscurity. Ages seems very unfamiliar to me, so I must have given up on it back when it came out originally (playing on Goomba via a GBA expansion cart, before you ask).
If you give Fallout 3 a chance and really get yourself into it, it will keep you amused till the recession blows over

They really did retune the fights, especially the boss fights. They are much harder now and require a lot of strategy. Really good thoughGummy Panda wrote: »Capcom have been quiet on the bionic commando front. Didn't even know it was out next week. Usually a bad sign..
A friend of mine has a review copy. He says it's loads of fun and incredibly hard but it's just short of being excellent.

PC
World Of Warcraft: playing a Death Knight and loving the ridiculous overpowered-ness.
Plants vs Zombies: too addictive, finished all the extras but still got 8 achievements and a ton of shop stuff to get.
Team Fortress 2: if it would connect to any servers....sigh. Hope to get it working before the Sniper/ Spy update.
X360
Fallout 3: just met my first Feral Ghoul Reaver (well, 3 of em). 10 Bottlecap mines, 3 Fat Men and a **** load of stimpacks I emerge victorious. theres only 3 in the whole game......right?
Can't wait for june and Prototype and Red Faction: Guerilla 0 -

I'm really trying to cut down and focus on a few games at a time as college is keeping me very busy. This will all change once the holidays start though :pac: I've yet to finish Bioshock, Dead Space, COD4 and Ico. I have about 25 PS2 games to play so perhaps I should just stop buying games for a while, heh.
PC: Half Life 2 : Ep 2. I still haven't finished this. I played 30 minutes of it and got distracted. I've promised myself I'm going to finish it soon.
I have to get back to TF2 and give L4D a shot.
PSP: Monster Hunter 2ndG has made me it's bitch. This game sucks up so much time, especially when the OH is obsessed and makes me play it every weekend. So rewarding though.
Patapon is my bus journey companion. Looking forward to going straight into the sequel once I finish it.
PS3: Uncharted needs to be finished. The Uncharted 2 gameplay videos have inspired me to finish this.
Valkyria Chronicles is a game I'm taking my time with so it'll probably be July by the time I'm finished it. I'm on Chapter 11 I think. Just fantastic in every way.
Killzone 2 MP is always tempting me.
As for PSN games, Worms has been keeping me occupied a lot lately, just brilliant.
I'm nearly finished MGS2, so then I'll be moving on to MGS4. MGS2 is pretty insane in parts but I love how over the top the whole thing is. Once I finish that I'll be moving on to Persona 3 FES.
Xbox 360: Fable 2 is the game I got a 360 for to play with the OH, as she missed not being able to play it. I had played it co-op with her originally and thought it was good, not great. That's probably because of the fact that we ploughed through the missions though, because now that I'm playing it by myself now at my own pace I love it. It's so absorbing and the voice acting in it is amazing.
Gear of War is a game that I really want to like, but I don't really get it yet. I'm giving it a chance though so I give it a shot every other week.
Castle Crashers is fun and is great to play with the OH. My first XBLA purchase.
DS: My DS has been neglected as of late but I really want to finish FFIII and move on to FFIV. Peggle DS distracts me every time I pick it up though!0 -

The last dungeon of FF3 is an absolute whore. FFIV however is an improvement on the original game with much tougher bosses. Slow is your best friend in this game.
