The Beaten in 2009 Thread

[Izret101]

A day earlier than last year but whatever...
So here it is.

This hasn't worked in the past few years but i'll try it again....
One post per person! Just edit the post to update your list.

01/02/09 - The Incredible Maze - Wii
I havn't tried it out with the balance board yet but the Wiimote controls are very jerky(i guess you could say sensitive...).

01/02/09 - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition - Separate Ways - Wii
Very cool. Didn't add a ton of story but it at least shows more of what is going on with Umbrella and answers some of the WTF moments from initial playthru.

01/02/09 - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition - Assignment Ada - Wii
I don't really know what the point of this was... I guess if i decide to play Separate Ways thru again though i can at least buy the Chicago Typewriter now.

01/07/09 - World of Goo - Wii
This game was amazing. Unique game play, massive replay value, terrific price point, hell even the Wiimote worked fantastically for control right from the start. A MUST OWN TITLE!

01/10/09 - Big Mutha Truckers - DS
My first impression was a very bad one.
Now i'm not saying the game is a must have i'm just saying its not total garbage like i had said originally.

01/12/09 - Madden NFL 2005 - DS
Much better on the console. I played through a full season as the Patriots, Cowboys, and did a couple where i swapped from team to team. I was actually surprised at how good the quality of the ONE song on the game sounded.

01/14/09 - Worms: Open Warfare - DS
Compared to console versions the game is lackluster for single player. the multiplayer is still rather entertaining. Especially if you can find (or train someone) to be a worthy opponent.

01/16/09 - Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis - DS
Very cool game. Very nostaligic too they brought back and alot of music from previous mario and/or donkey kong games and gave them a slight tune up.

02/22/09 - Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ - DS
Beat it on Normal and Hard and beat the Boss Attack Mode. Taking a break before going after extreme and Levels Mode.
Pretty cool game. My biggest disappointment is that there is no scoring so you can just dodge tons of zombies and still progress rather easily.

02/26/09 - Pokemon Ranger - DS
Not as long as the main Pokemon series but definitely not a bad game. I have to admit i was rather impressed.

02/26/09 - Links Crossbow Training - Wii
For 25$s this is an EXCELLENT buy. It is rather short but has a good deal of replay value trying to up your score and get the Platinum award. There is multiplayer up to 4 players but the downside is each person takes their turn then hand off the zapper to the next person. Though i'm not sure how well it would have worked even with just 2 people shooting at the limited number of targets...

02/26/09 - Insaniquarium Deluxe - PC
Addictive "shooter". Going to try out the other modes since i still need to unlock the 4 special fish or whatever they turn out to be.

24.1.09 Fable II + Knothole Island DLC - Xbox 360

A decent action RPG without many real RPG elements. Lots of the features in this game seem more reminisant of games like the Sims or the like. Getting married, having children etc, etc, not everyones cup of tea but it is very endearing to begin with and you will spend a lot of time not completing quests but simply rumaging around for items and seeing what you can do in the game. If you ignored the pure/ evil balance and disrearded the side quests I would imagine you could plug through this game in no time at all, but that would be a waste. The DLC was a rip off for what you actually get. You get a new drawn out quest which is extrememly easy with three extremely easy achievements to acquire. Most people wold probably get through this in two days tops. Overall an enjoyable game which could have done with more orginal quests and perhaps some Shadow of the Collosus type battles to bulk things out a bit.

Sonic 2 (Genesis) - 1/17/09 : First time I've ever even beaten this classic. I died (as in game over) at the last level before the final boss, so I had to use stage select, but it's the first time that I've beaten every single level in the game. ^.^

1/16/09 - Crackdown (360)

[Mr. Ksoft]

I'll jump on the reserve bandwagon.

Oh, look, I'm adding some games now.

[Jan. 7] Star Wars: the Force Unleashed (X360) - I don't see why people seem to generally dislike this game.  I enjoyed it all the way up to the end.

[Jan. 22] Half-Life 2 (via Orange Box X360) - I started off knowing I was getting involved in something good, and now that I'm finished I'm pretty sure that this is my favorite FPS.  The awesome environments, story, and gameplay all wrap together for a legendary experience.

[Jan. 27] Half-Life 2 Episode 1 (via Orange Box X360) - Too short, but I guess that's because it's only an "episode".  I had fun, though.  I am happy to get to play more HL2.  Now on to Episode 2.

[Feb. 4] Half Life 2 Episode 2 (via Orange Box X360) - Looks like this ends my Half-Life 2 streak of wins, as there's nothing left -_-.  The final battle in this was an absolute pain in the ass to beat.  However, overall this was way better than Episode 1.  Can't wait for Episode 3...

[Feb. 12] Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Genesis)
I beat this game a couple times a year because it is probably my all-time favorite game.  This time I did a run with Knuckles, with whom I haven't played as in a while.  It's always fun to take a few hours out of the day and blaze through a game I know like the back of my hand.

[Mar. 8] Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (X360)
Okay, you can't really beat a compilation, but I got all the achievements.  A few of them were rather annoying. Whee!

[Mar. 12] Rocket Knight Adventures (Genesis)
Awesome, but ignored game.  One of my Genesis favorites.

GAMES BEATEN: 7
LAST UPDATED: Mar. 12

Reserving is rediculous.



.....wait.
