Still working over Mass Effect 2 myself.. picked up Bioshock 2, but not starting up on it til after ME2's completion. Mordin's a riot... especially busting out into song

I was playing Bayonetta back in January, but I haven't played for about a week or so. I want to play it again, though, since there's still plenty of things I need to do in that game.

Something I did try last night: playing some of the DS Demos available through the download service on the Wii's Nintendo Channel. The Miles Edgeworth game seemed the most interesting from what was available, but the others I played didn't interest me too much. The Avatar game demo wasn't too bad, it played very similarly to the DS Zelda titles, but with a bit stiffer control.

Here are my recent buys:

X-Box 360

Left 4 Dead 2
Dante's Inferno
Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition
Bioshock 2 Special Edition

DS

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Dragonology

Dragon Age Origins Collectors Edition Strategy Guide
Zelda: Spirit Tracks Collector's Edition Strategy Guide
Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition for PC

Right now, Bioshock 2 and Dragon Age are fighting over my short attention span.

I'd be all over Dragon Age if having not completed it yet. I couldn't even look at another game while going through that one til I finished it Same happened with Mass Effect 2 which I just finished Thursday, so now into Bioshock 2. Which will be all I play til completion as well!

That should do me til next month... then it's back to the PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III!

Whoa! Now that's something I've not done is quite a while
Pelord! It's been forever since I downloaded anything v-
ia Nintendo Channel. What did you think of Bayone-
tta's intro? Sick, eh? Definitely exciting to say th-
e least and unexpected as well. Let us know w-
hat you think of the story and gameplay aft-
er you progress further in it, ok? My, tha-
t is quite the collection of gaming item-
s (software), Masa! Tis a shame that
I wasn't patient enough to wait for
the collector's edition. I've not h-
eard of Dragonology for the DS
at all. How is it? Congratulat-
ions on completing Mass E-
ffect 2 and reaching the
60,000 high club, Roe-
mello! I'm juggling b-
oth ME2 and BS2 r-
ight now, but m-
ore into BS2 f-
or the mom-
ent. I rare-
ly play g-
ames l-
ike I
use-
d t-
o.

I've played enough of Bayonetta to know all the story and whatnot (though it is a bit out there, lol). I'm up to the final chapter on the hardest difficulty (where Witch Time dodge is completely disabled), and unless it's just from not playing it as much as I was, they really push the boss difficulty up near the end when compared to the first half of the game. That could be because I can't rely on Witch Time to help like I did on Normal and Hard. And there are still plenty of things to unlock in the game. I'm hoping that soon I can at least have all the achievements.

Finished Bioshock 2 today, so now I'm all caught up again til the big two next month Not sure what I'll jump into until then... probably bounce around

Finished AC II & still working on Bloodlines. Probably gonna play through Metroid Prime again while waiting for Final Fantasy XIII & God of War III.

I've taken up on a neglected title of mine and going through Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. Couldn't hold my attention the first go around, but having fun with it now! That'll keep me occupied til the two previously mentioned titles arrive next month. Both I'm sure will be all consuming, so good thing they're the only big ones coming out

Finally got all 50 achievements in Bayonetta... so now I guess I'm just kind of randomly playing stuff until some new WiiWare/XBLA stuff comes out (and of course whatever Nintendo claims will be out by the end of the year).

I don't even feel like a gamer any more (laughs)! Actually,
I have been playing Castlevania: SOTN from Castleva-
nia Chronicles on the PSP, but console gaming has
eluded me for some time thanks to other objec-
tives (laughs). I'm going to see if more prog-
ress in Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 can b-
e made with the little time that I have h-
ere now since I'll be leaving in a few h-
ours. Bayonetta on hard is insane, e-
specially the final boss without Bu-
llet um, er... witch time (laugh-
s) I would imagine! Congratu-
lations on getting all achie-
vements in Bayonetta, P-
elord! Tis great that y-
ou completed Assas-
sin's Creed II, Poi-
son PJ! That's a-
nother title w-
hich I need
to get in-
to. I'm
not
surpri-
sed that y-
ou finished B-
ioshock 2, Roem-
ello (laughs)! Congr-
ats! You should have e-
nough money to purchase
all of the techniques and ma-
ybe even a few of the artifacts
by now, Pelord in Bayonetta. Beyo-
nd that, I'm not sure what else there
is to do in the game. Did you get the n-
ew downloadable content for Assassin's Cr-
eed 2? It should be available now. I think it w-
as released last week. Check for it if you can, ok?
Have you tried out Banjo & Kazooie's multiplayer yet
Roemello? The vehicle creation system is rather robust
and allows gamers to make odd yet functional vehicles for
use in that mode. By the way, I'm waiting for Final Fantasy a-
s well along with God of War III. Is anyone planning to get the P-
remium version of GOW 3 which comes with Pandora's Box? I'm co-
nsidering it since I really like the look of the case, but I no longer see
it in EBgame's site. I wonder if it's been pulled. The official name was th-
e Ultimate Edition and it even included a soundtrack of every God of War g-i
ame (excluding the PSP version I believe). Which version of Final Fantasy XIII
is everyone getting if I may be so bold as to ask? I'm still contemplation this righ-
t now even. I would like to have Heavy Rain and Yakuza 3, but those titles will have
to wait seeing as FFXIII and GOW3 are the primary titles for me this month. For the m-
oment, I'm still playing as Maria in Symphony of the Night which is nearly impossible in so-
me areas (such as fighting Galamoth, aka that huge guy with the staff who is considered as
THE most difficult character to fight in the game). I better start making progress... and soon!

One of Bayonetta's achievements is to buy all the techniques, so I have those. I have all but one accessory (ironically it requires you to beat the game on EASY to get it, I just never played that difficulty, lol).

I downloaded Mega Man 10 for WiiWare today, and I'll see what I can do with that game for the time being.

I forgot about that achievement for acquiring all of the
techniques. In fact, I've unlocked it, but forgot abo-
ut upon typing that previous post (laughs). Forc-
ing gamers to play Bayonetta on easy? Actual-
ly, it's a good idea for expert gamers, bec-
ause now, they can practically breeze t-
hrough it for fun and appreciate the
simplicity on this difficulty settin-
g. Now Mega Man 10 is suppos-
ed to be a MAJOR challenge
since it's based on the di-
fficulty of those classi-
c NES Mega Man ga-
mes (structure a-
s well). Let us
know what
you think
of it, o-
k Pel-
ord
?



I
was
just pl-
aying Mid-
night Club re-
mix L.A. on the
PSP which I acquir-
ed yesterday. Aside f-
rom that, Bioshock and
Mass Effect 2 will be the g-
ames I will work on for today.

After weeks of debating,
I've finally decided w-
hich version of t-
his game to i-
nvest in (l-
aughs).
Tryin-
g it
no-
w
!





Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)!





the back...

Which is just what I'm playing as well! Picked it up today for PS3 and loving it so far! Visuals are stunning, battle system's easy to pick up, though the only downside is so far, it's every bit as linear as reported. Regardless, it's fun so far!

And ya see Soloist? Noooooo install required I hope more PS3 games adopt this... just pop the disc in and play... the way it should be
