Still making my way through Pandora's Tower. Currently at around 60% completion.

trying to beat Contra without dying.  i can't make it passed the 2nd level without ding at least twice. 

Good luck.

Akumajou Dracula. Got to the water level with Grant pretty easily, but kept getting killed when the water pours in.

I've been playing Need for Speed: The Run. It's OK so far. I'm really glad I didn't spend more than $5 on it.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - I am about to wrap up my Normal playthrough.

Just started Conquest of the Crystal Palace for my summer game challenge.  This game is awesome!!!     I'm stuck in level three right now at what I think is the mid-level boss (a swarm of enemies).  Sooo much fun.

On a side note I just found the next game I want to acquire: Robo Warrior for the NES.

Been playing some more Final Fantasy 13. Really enjoying it so far. Can't see anything wrong with at the moment. I'm in chapter 4. The paradigm and Crystalium systems are quite fun.

I don't even find the characters that annoying. I guess Vanille is a bit "out there", but the rest is quite believable and not over-the-top. From what I've seen so far at least. Ever since Final Fantasy 10, people have been complaining forever about the characters in FF. What they fail to realize is that the characters in FF games have always been stupid/unrealistic. It's just that they started voice acting in 10.

i enjoyed 13's battle system alot, but the characters were somewhat forgettable.  they didn't do a very good job of making me care about them.  the game was very linear too.  there was pretty much no exploring to speak of, you run from point A to point B, repeat.  it wasnt the worst FF, but personally id put it toward the bottom, right around FF 8.

Startropics (NES)

[Ghost Soldier]

Still playing Final Fantasy III SNES.  Having a problem obtaining Ragnorak Esper in Narshe with Locke in the party.  I've already added Mog, and Umaro and done both those.  I went back into Narshe and had Locke unlock everything.  Upon entering every building is empty.  The only people are in the learning building.  Anyone else experience this   Searched the web and found nothing similar to this problem.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Started a new campaign in Napoleon: Total War. Playing as the British again, this time I added a bunch of realism mods and upped the difficulty. Going pretty much the exact same as ever, taking a bit longer to pacify the Spanish and French fleets than usual as they're more spread out and I have to keep a pretty large channel fleet in operation to keep the Frogs from messing with my trade routes. Just now sending a big fleet into the Mediterranean to clear the way for my trade fleets. Once they're up and running I'll be unstoppable.

Thinking aside from Naval matters I'll leave France alone this game just to see how far they can go Eastward. They've almost taken out Austria, but Russia looms up at em. Trying to get Spain to eff off but they're being obstinate, I've pretty much ruined them and I have an army capable of taking Madrid sitting within sight of it, but no dice. I'll probably have to take them out.

Minecraft on the 360. That's all I ever really play anymore.

Played a lot more ME3 multiplayer last night. I'm not sure why I enjoy this so much, but I do.

Yeah, I keep wanting to move on to another game, then I get close to unlocking another spec prem pack, and it gives me something new to play around with, which I do, and then I realize I'm only a match or two until affording another spec prem pack...vicious cycle.

Gears of War (360) - I am in a boosting session at 5am....god I love working nights.

Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Tonight shall be some great multiplayer action!

[Izret101]

Finally finished ilomilo xbla and the dlc. It was a decent puzzler but highly overrated which made me hate it.

Still need to start the WP version.
