Played through Guardian Heroes (Saturn) last night. Fun. Definitely would have been better with two players.

did more final fantasy XIII last night after i posted about it. i finished at the start of chapter 11. i'm just under 33 hours in and i only now got to Pulse, i've heard the Pulse stuff is the bulk of the game. is there anyone here that's beaten it that could tell me roughly how long it took you to beat it, and/or how long it took you to get to Pulse if you remember? i don't normally play really long rpg's like this (trying to change that), and am wondering if i'm going through it slower or faster or about the same as most people.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

Been a while since I played a "current" game on my PC.  Mostly, I stick to picking up titles that I missed on Steam a year after they came out for a huge discount but my new video card came with a copy of Borderlands 2 so I'm playing it on PC.

I feel like one of the most cliche things to say about sequels is "It took everything the first game did and added to it".  It's painfully non-descriptive and it always seemed like a lazy thing to say.  Like the person who said it just wanted to get a tagline on the box or in a magazine. 

That being said, There is not a single thing that this game doesn't improve upon compared to the first game and the first game was phenomenal.

Its been a while so I cant remember my exact play time, but I think it was around 35 hours for me to play through FFXIII. I could have easily spent many more hours playing, but decided to finish it off rather than quest around when the game opened up.

wow only 35? i don't see it going that fast for me. the thing is i like reading all the datalog entries, which takes a big chunk of the time. but the weird thing is, even though i haven't actually done any grinding yet, i've been fighting every battle i come across to get the experience, and now at pulse suddenly the enemies are so difficult (besides a few) that i'll definitely have to start grinding for quite a while to make any real progress. so i don't see it ending anytime soon for me. i found a website for showing how long games take to beat and it looked like the shortest time for people who like to do sidequests and things like that was around 65 hours. but the way they showed it was really vague so i hoped someone here had a better estimate xD.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (PS3) - I am in the middle of Act 1, but the Trophies keep poping

Started yesterday Leon's campaign in Resident Evil 6, and i'm not impressed, even a bit. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack,characters...substantially inferior in every department to Resident Evil 5. What is the reason behind all those quick time events? Capcom thought it was Dragon's Lair?

I've heard that Leon's portion of the game is the best one, and if that's true, i'm afraid i will probably not complete the others characters campaigns. Hope it gets dramatically better now on, cause i'm really bored and i don't want to finish it for being a Resident Evil fan, but because i had a good time.

Resident Evil Revelations for 3DS is far better than this.
