Still Halo 4 MP during my workout, Ninja Master's on NGX, and thrilled to be playing Necromancer on Atari XE. REALLY enjoy this one, although I never played the XE version until it came in the mail a few days ago. It was my favorite game growing up, on our good old C64 (After Crossroads I/II.) XE version has more polish but inferior music. Gotta switch out the SMS pad for a good old joystick, as its killing my thumbs

I've been playing way too much Minecraft again. I also picked up Halo 4 and have been playing though it as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

Got Max Payne on my iPhone, pretty crazy that a game that I used to have a hard time running on my old Dell runs without hiccup on my telephone. I think it's the PS2 version though, auto-aim and all that. Still fun to have in my hand.

Amazing, isn't it? I remember when having 512MB of RAM, and 128MB video card was "cutting edge".

Been playing Evolution for Dreamcast.

Its making me consider doing some work about the Dreamcast RPGs as a whole, but not until I get my hands on a few more.

Contre Jour - stuck on the final stage of world 3. Can't figure out how to get all the pick ups and clear the stage.

KenKen working on 5x5 puzzles. Getting tougher but I am still clearing them in clearing couple minutes a piece.
HSM3 Sing it - done until I get back home so I can try and find accapella(sp?) versions to finish singing songs for me.

Started
NBA Jam: On Fire Edition - should not have.
Zuma's Revenge! - way easier than the original. Almost done with the achievements. Already finished main game and boss rush.
Karaoke app - almost done with this one too.
The Walking Dead - finished chapter 1 need to clear HD space and finish 2-5.

Finished
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit - excellent game!
Kinect Party - great game. Especially for kids. Believe it is still free too. Go grab it.

^^^LOL^^^

Ended up starting Deep Black: Episode 1.
I don't think an episode 2 is in the works.... Did the online hopefully I can finish single player quickly tomorrow.

I am trying to get 200 completed games for the year. So damn close!

Going to bed turboing Karaoke so that should be done when I wake up.

and some more The Last Story, still working on catching up to everyone else. it started out slow and i wasn't sure if i would like it, but the more i play the more i'm starting to like it.

I just finished Resistance 2, which I'm happy about because it was an absolutely terrible game.

I just don't get what happened with that series. It has pretty much everything going for me; a setting I would normally enjoy, gameplay I normally find fun, by a developer I really like. And yet every game in the series just put me off, and I got bored and frustrated with them.  It was so weird to have to admit to myself that I just couldn't find enjoyment playing them.

Doesn't help that I enjoy the Halo series so, so much. Which leaves me open to a bit of ridicule. But hey, some games just strike all the right chords for us, and others have the notes but just sound cacophonous.

After playing some multiplayer with my brother while he was up, I got the bug and decided to pick up Halo 4. It's pretty enjoyable so far, I've only done multiplayer, no campaign yet.

Also trying to wrap up the first Bioshock, I have maybe 9-10 achievements left. And one more achievement until I can close the book on Wordament (iOS)

EDIT: Just finished Wordament!

Nah man, I totally agree. I didn't think the first Resistance was too bad, especially for a launch title, but this one was just not fun at all and filled with cheap deaths and forced repetition.

And I mean, I'm not a fan boy either way, but if this and Killzone are the premier shooters on the platform, then it's just a sad state, because Killzone 2 was also obnoxious.

Bioshock completed! On to Bioshock 2
