The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3) - Still making my way to the Desert Temple.

Almost ready to give this one a whirl for the 3rd time. One of my favorite games.

3 on 3 NHL Arcade (PSN) - Finally time to wrap up the rest of the Trophies.

Trying to get through World 5 on Kirby Block Ball, a Kirbified version of Breakout. Three of the four outer walls are deadly, and I've had little success maneuvering the paddles to keep the little fruity guy alive. Thank God the save/continue is still working.

how is that even playable, a lot of shots are barely possible without wall rebounds in breakout

Getting to know my PS2 again with the help of FFXII.  Surprised the darn thing actually works, considering the age and the time it's spent train-dodging my son over the years.  And to think I was going to look into a PS2 Slim.  Guffaw.

Each deadly wall has its own paddle to rebound Kirby off of. The top and bottom paddles are controlled by the left/right parts of the d-pad, and the left and right  paddle by the up/down parts.

Also, there are power-ups where, if you activate it at the right time, Kirby will break through most of the otherwise unbreakable blocks in his way. And he keeps the power-up until he's killed, or he goes on to the next level.

oh that's good, still sounds challenging though.

Rayman Raving Rabbids (360) - I forgot how funny this game is.

Halo 4 -  all i have to do is wrap up my solo legendary play and the game will be 1500/1500

King Cashing 2 (iOS) - King Cashing was one of my favorite mobile games, and was happy to find the sequel in the store yesterday. Sadly, it's REALLY short - only 3 chapters available right now, which I've already beaten. Not sure how they managed to charge $3 for this out of the chute. Great game, poor value.

Soul Calibur 5.  I finally picked it up.  Anyone wanna fight, pm me.

Started today Metal Gear Rising, just beat Mistral. Good game so far, but i definitely don't like Raiden, he tries so hard to be cool, but a hero that walks on high heels and looks like a cross dresser don't have any credibility with me.

[raffa1985]

I will try to finish Metal Gear Rising this week, this month is full of cool games coming, i can't wait for the next Castlevania, Tomb Raider, God of War installments.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I've gotten to the point where I am messing around modding Skyrim more than actually playing it. If the Elder Scrolls cycle is true to its course this means I should be free from it in a couple weeks.
