Legit not possible; fantastically knit bit of game.

I find it hard to believe you are playing it for the 5th time. That game is like Kula World, everyone loves it yet nobody played the game, only the demo

Ahem, I own that...
I'm not saying I'm good at it, just that I own it
Tombi, yes, played that on release but it was viewed as too old school at the time and, to my shame, I never bought it
I might pick it up one of these days

Just had an hour on Outrun 2 on the Xbox, still a fantastic game, although I am torn between it and Outrun 2006 on the PS2/PSP with its whole extra track and extra modes.

The Last Bandit

Mass Effect 3 has awoken my Xbox for a 6 month slumber. 8 hours in and enjoying it so far. No spoilers please

Mother of Glob!
Tombi is expensive!
Tomba, the US version, isn't quite as expensive and the Jap edition is relatively cheap.
Is the language a barrier in Tombi I wonder?

Oh no! You didn't did you?

I made that mistake too. Also fairly sure I hadn't any other weapon to assign. Took me a very long time to get through that dream sequence area!

F**k, that's exactly where I am actually, & seriously every 9 out of 10 hits are missed because of that bloody bat. I ditched it & found the Magicant Bat, which is less powerful but at least you stand a chance.

The dream sequence in that game I always found really tough. You're nearly at the end!

Oh god, the memory of that horror is returning!

I just had to run by as many enemies as I could. Took a few attempts but got there in the end. Really felt like there were millions of enemies there too.

Fun fact, Ness is in his nip during the dream sequence in the Japanese version. Apparently Americans can't handle nude kids in videogames

Don't want to spoil the game for anyone who plays it so

spoiler tags engaged! The whole end of that game where they have to transplant their minds into robots and you end up fighting that weird, fetus creature is one of the freakiest changes of tone in a game I've ever seen. It just goes so dark, so fast!

Finished Earthbound again there, what a beautiful, beautiful little game :cool:

Had another look on the Wii U eShop there...not much Snes stuff at all...do you still have to go into Wii mode to buy the bulk of the content?

Just had a shot at Strikers in a crappy little arcade in Calgary Airport. Nearly didn't play it as I thought strikers was a football game, silly me.
Really enjoyed it but didn't get far but it's been so long since I played a proper arcade machine that I forgot the joys of it. Sadly the machine wasn't all burnt with fags, so it wasn't an authentic Irish Arcade experience. Also there wasn't an old lad playing pacman with a fag hangin' outta his gob.
By the way I was crap at the game only got as far a second stage with my one credit. Only $50 which was great as that's like 30 cent in the euro money.

No I haven't. Next up is an ice hockey game, another football game and either a trip to Banff or the dinosaur museum - apparently it's a big one here.
Then maybe Edmenton as it has an array of retro stores.

Ah Gregory Horror Show - amazing presentation, writing and atmosphere, but I recall the gameplay being obtuse and frustrating even by PS2-era survival horror standards!

Playing Pokemon X, my first since Gold. Enjoying it a lot, feels equal parts familiar and new. Some of the new items are lifesavers, like the godsend that is experience sharing items: cannot believe it has taken six main generations of Pokemon games (plus countless spin-offs, remakes etc...) to get that implemented :eek:

I'm putting a good deal of time into The Last of Us right now, no room for Black Ops 2 or GTAV.
I'm incredibly impressed with the game, I've played anything as brave in it's story telling and I have a feeling it will be, in this gen, aa important to me as Ico and SotC were in the last.
I'm about 8 hours in and the story has taken a turn that hits like a freight train, moving, shocking, brilliant.
David Cage should take note, this is how you do interactive storytelling for grownups.

Just finished The Last of Us, wow, I really loved it.
Shook me here and there though and as a dad there was a lot to relate to.

Plus it's the first time I've completed a horror game in October!

Double Plus Good!
