The gaming diary

I continued on in Portal and tried out Call of Duty 4.

I played Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 on the Wii with my family for about four hours yesterday and I will most likely play more today. I believe this game is the best multiplayer game for the Wii since Wii sports.

The internet at my house has been really bad for the last few weeks, so I finally got it all fixed and got to play a bit of World of Warcraft last night. 

Before that I was playing Guitar Hero 3 a lot and playing the hell out of my arcade games.  Unfortunatley it looks like my POW machine is dead.    It looks like the entire board is blown.

Lots of Guilty Gear X2 Reload. Currently I've managed to beat Arcade mode with Dizzy, Millia, and Bridget(he's supposed to be bottom tier but I'm damn good with him/her). Pretty good with Ky and Testament as well, but my best character is easily Millia, then Dizzy, then I-No, then Bridget.

Oh and Boss I-No has to be the single hardest fight in fighting game history. Her megalomania attack took forever to figure out and her insane defense as well as supers kill you faster than you can blink.

Rock Band. Played 4-person multiplayer with den and friends tonight.

Excellent game overall! However, they don't shuffle song selection well in the World Tour. I lost track of how many times we had to play Weezer's "Say it Ain't So" and The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop".

I spent an hour on Tony Hawk's Project 8 on a career/classic run trying to get over 1,000,000 for both a goal and the achievement.

...

I got just a few points over 1,000,000 but no bloody achievement! It turns out you have to get 1,000,000 in free skate to get the achievement. What a bastard arsehole!

I wouldn't mind having to play Say It Ain't So a bunch of times because Weezer kicks ass.

^No doubt that Weezer's good.

However, when you're hoping for randomness and it isn't there, playing the same 2 songs repeatedly can grow to be somewhat annoying.

I've only played a little Guilty Gear, but I've always been drawn to Baiken.

I just got the NiGHTS game for Wii tonight. I'm gonna hook up my Wii soon so I can play that.

Played more Half-Life 2 this weekend.  I'm in the middle of Interstate 17

Halo 3 and Shadowrun on Xbox live.

I'm in a mad rush to beat Shadow Hearts From the New World before I head back to college. Pretty much lost my social life thanks to this. At about 20 hours I got to the final dungeon, but to get the real ending you have to level up all Shania's fetishes (fusion powers), so doing the sidequests (still have a bit more) I'm at 32 hours. That's a bit more sidequests than I anticipated but the game is fantastic so I don't mind, just wish I didn't have to rush myself. Also the game started out real slow but picked up a crap load once the whole Capone crap is done. Just keeping the tradition the original started going I guess.

Very true.

But yeah, I'm still working my way through the original Half Life on PC...along with playing some Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty 4 for good measure.

I'm making prgress on Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. I'm looking for the third sea chart to find the pure metals now.
