The gaming diary

[Mr. Ksoft]

I've had Phantasy Star II kicking around for a few weeks but I never really sat down to play it until today.

Makes me wish I hadn't been babied by all these newer RPGs.  I'm getting my ass handed to me just running around the overworld for the first time.

[Ghost Soldier]

Played some Drakes Fortune this weekend.

More MGS3. I'm going to look up how to beat "The Sorrow" right now.

Elite Beat Agents - DS

It's pretty fun, although I'm not much good at rythm games. I'm having to repeat songs a few times before I finish them.

Beat The Sorrow: Die then use revival pill.

I hated fighting "The Sorrow". I was in Iraq when MGS3 was released and my buddy had it over there. I couldn't figure out how to beat him and I didn't want to walk across the base and wait in line for an hour just to get 15 minutes on a computer with internet access. Another guy from my squadron playing the game figured it out on about the fifth of sixth try.

Well... Now I'm at the 3rd area to the last. I am in that forest with EVA, and I keep getting my ass kicked by all of these soldiers ambushing us. I'll probably beat it tonight.

I just realized, MGS3 will be the first game that I have beaten in almost a year. I NEVER play a game all the way through. Kinda sad, isn't it?

I never do either, sadly.

Beat it!! 

Only 14 hours and 43 minutes game-time too. 

Shortish game, by today's standards, right?

[phoenix1967]

DL'd the Cold Storage Halo 3 map and checked it out in the Forge. Sweet! Has much potential!

Played through rooms 16 and 17 in Portal and am about 1/2 way through room 18. 

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I looooooove Portal.

Been playing Mass Effect, it's aight. Like on the verge of amazing, then it has like 3 hour long elevator rides and silly vehicle sections and I yawn.

I try my hardest to finish what I start, but a few games have escaped me. Right now I'm playing Final Fantasy Tatics still. I'm hoping to have this and Twilight Princess done before SC4 and Final Fantasy 4 comes out.

Mass Effect is an excellent game and your statement "on the verge of amazing" is very accurate. They could've tweaked it more to make it better, but I'd still give it a 9 out of 10 despite it's shortcomings. They've got something good to build on at least. Hopefully, Mass Effect 2 will have the flaws worked out.

Did you DL the Episodic content for it Leon?

Nada, lookin into it nao.

Went back to Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and managed to isolate what it was that felt weird about the game...DIFFICULTY.

Games aren't really hard any more, and this is a refreshing change--it is a bit buggy, but gets damn intense and has aight ai.

[Mr. Ksoft]

I played the original Zelda to completion today.  That game will never get old.

I had to stop for a while, though, because something started interfering with my console and the thing wouldn't work right for a good half hour.

[Game Freak]

I played Sim City on the SNES for most of my day, then i played some Top Gear. 

Oh, i also played some Atari games.  Missle command, chopper command, video pinball, and Pitfall II.
