Ikaruga...I'm sorry I doubted you in the past.

Pretty sweet game, eh? I have been meaning to pop that one back in...

Didn't play anything, but checked out some Halo 3 Grifball vids on youtube and some trailers on my 360 Dashboard for Viking: Battle of Asgard (I'm undecided on this one).

That Grifball variant looks like it's a blast!

Played Taito Legends 2 for a few hours over the weekend.

I "obtained" a bunch of Dreamcast shmups...so I've been playing a lot of those over the weekend.

Today, i bought myself a 'as new' (un-opened) SNES Super Scope for $50 Australian on ebay, which i think is a VERY reasonable deal, if i say so myself! Anybody on here who is reading this have a super scope?

I have a CIB one I got from a friend who is also a member here. It's been modified to use an AC adapter instead of batteries. Neat little rigs those are, I remember how popular they were when they were released. Just a shame that the SNES didn't have a more expanded library of compatible games than it does.

I got mine for $50. It came with everything except the manual which I bought off of ebay along with a bunch of other manuals. The seller is a RF Generation member but I forgot who (if you're reading this thanks!). I thought $50 was a good price especially since the store I got mine from is known to overcharge ($24 for Super Mario 3???).

Got through the 1st set of songs on Medium for the Drum Solo Tour on Rock Band...plus Celebrity Skin on the 2nd set, and one of the bonus songs.

Downloaded and watched the Tech demos for Alone in the Dark...damn! I'm going to start a separate thread on that one!

Also downloaded the Mass Effect "Bring Down the Sky" content, but didn't get a chance to play it.

I've been piecing mine together. I got the sight at one garage sale, the main piece at another, the receiver at another. Still missing the battery cover, but I've got all the necessary parts.
I really hate using it, it's really uncomfortable to me, the Sega Menacer is much more comfortable to use.

My Scope 6 was £7 from a car boot sale. Apart from a 4 inch rip on the box and the usual scuffs on the box edges, it's in almost perfect condition.

I think the only time I've used it was when I was testing it out.

[phoenix1967]

Downloaded the Grifball game type variant and Foundry Grifball map for Halo 3.

Played more of the Rock Band Drum Solo tour on Medium. I'm at 18 of 70 (I DL'd something like 12 songs already...).

Over the weekend my girlfriend took over the computer, so I finally decided to dust off my Devil May Cry games and give them a spin.

I beat both discs of Devil May Cry 2 in one sitting.  Sure it was about 6 hours, but still.  I heard nothing but bad things about this game, and I kind of agree with a lot of them.  Devil May Cry 1 was FAR superior to the sequel.  The story is pretty much non-existant, it is beyond easy (I only died once on the last guy), and the graphics are pretty substandard.  It's still a decent game, but for a Devil May Cry game it's bad.

The next day I pugged in Devil May Cry 3.  Now this is what Devil May Cry 2 should have been.  The story, while not Final Fantasy caliber, is much better than in 2, and it is actually hard.  I'm about 3/4 of the way through it and I have loved every second of it so far.

My girlfriend and I also played Singstar Rocks over the weekend.  It sounds pretty stupid, but we actually had a lot of fun playing it.  The song selection kind of sucks, but I don't think I was the kind of person they had in mind when they were making it.  The girlfriend loved the song selection.

Beat the "Bring Down the Sky" content for Mass Effect. Took my time with it and It lasted an hour and a half or so as advertised. I can handle a few of these at this price until the 2nd in the series comes out.

[phoenix1967]

Started a new Mass Effect campaign on Insanity difficulty with my level 59 character.

Just got to the Citadel for the first time, so I have a little while before I get to try out the Bring Down the Sky DLC.
