The gaming diary

[Barracuda]

Did my daily Wii Fit. Now I'm playing LocoRoco. It's a very odd game.

Race Driver: Grid (Xbox 360)

It's a fun game overall but it's so irritating sometimes. I can be doing well on a race and then I make a little mistake which ruins the whole thing and I have to restart. I haven't played it for a while so I've forgotten the racing lines of each track and I'm not used to the controls. I was getting the hang of it towards the end, but I was getting fed up with always messing up.

I hear they are using this engine for Dirt 2. I can't say I'm thrilled about that. I thought Dirt had a helluva better game engine and physics than Grid.

Sat down for a little over an hour last night and stormed through the first two metal slug games for Metal Slug Anthology on my wii. They really should have limited the credits, because it feels weird to beat a difficult game on your first try.

Finished Dead Air on Expert last night, Left 4 Dead. 1 more expert campaign to go!

Figures I'd start beating all the campaigns when they took the glitches out lol.

[Ghost Soldier]

Played some more Left4Dead last night.  Still working on half a dozen single player achievements.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I CAUGHT ALL THE POKEMON!
Doing the Rangernet missions now and those are going quickly.

I dunno if i am going to play the second Pokemon Ranger game now or take a break from the series and try something in between.

Looked up the password to unlock the extra rangernet mission. Beat that too. Game is 100% complete.

I did end up starting Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. I just started it out. There are a bunch of changes some good some of them i don't like that much. But i don't want to base the rest of the game on the first 10 mins.

More Fallout 3. Finished the "Those!" questline.

While doing that, I also found a funny little sub-quest along the way that I'm going to pursue. In the subway I unlocked a room that had a key to a safe in it. Found a separate room with the safe and after obtaining its contents was immediately threatened by some NPC (not a random encounter) wanting the contents. At the time I didn't know why, but I wasn't going to just turn it over, so I killed the dude. Later on I found a recording telling me what to do to deliver the "package", so I'm going to follow through on that end of it. I'm anticipating a humorous end to this since the item in the safe was "Naughty Nightwear", which gives a significant bonus to Speech and Charisma.

Finally got levelled up and decided to take the "Strong Back" perk to allow me to carry 50 more lbs of loot. And it's already paying dividends. I decided to start using the Rock-It Launcher and practiced with it a few shots by firing off some milk bottles with it. I'm looking for the hilarity to ensue when I start killing off stuff with this junk.

Just picked up Empire: Total War. CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR IT TO INSTALL.

Already have 19 hours into Star Ocean: The Last Hope after 3 days of playing. Been blitzing through it normally instead of trying to collect everything in one run. I'll probably go through it again sometime in the future when a complete guide is available. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying it.

I've heard some really good things about the combat system in that game? Do you agree?

Does the item creation system work out fairly well?

[Silent Scythe]

Picked up Secret of Mana again alright so far.

I bought Breath of Fire IV and the seller sent Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 as a gift, haven't started BOF4 as I just got done with 2, but Tony Hawk isn't too bad.

The metal slug anthology was pretty easy on Wii.
Even if you completely suck its just a matter of playing the same stage for hours.
Thats why my son "helped" me beat it.

Glad your enjoying it

Probably going to get more Pkmn Ranger 2 in tonight.

Im definately enjoying it!! I've never had the pleasure of a Metal Slug game before and they are a lot of fun so far. Love the style, and the weapons are quite varied, and its even got a few lols from me so far.

@ Silent Scythe

Tony Hawk 4 is my favorite in the series. Glad to hear you gave it a chance.

[Tondog]

Street Fighter IV. HELL YES!

[Izret101]

Links Cross Bow Training.
Due to my set up getting the aiming to right was a bit quirky, but after adjusting the setting the game crumbled before my greatness.
All in all its an excellent little game.
Was able to get mostly golds on my first play. Probably going to give it another go and shoot for platinums later.
