With the Purge mechanic, a Reyvateil in battle can progressively disintegrate her costume in order to expose more of her skin to the stars which give her power. The less she is wearing, the more powerful her magic.

After almost a year since I started it, I finally beat Persona 4. It's not really a big accomplishment, but I believe it's the first game I've beaten since Heavy Rain came out last year. The only disappointment is that I didn't read the strategy guide, so I missed the "true" ending.

I guess that does count as innuendo

No, I was being sincere. There's no way you can call the shit in this game innuendo.

Edit: How do image codes work on the new forums?

Use this.

Square Enix didn't seem to ship a lot of copies of V.
7 or 8

Monster Tale is at my local Best Buy according to best buy's website. So it's either that or Okamiden, mmmm...


Actually meant to post this is the Monster Tale thread, oh well.

Crysis 2. Spoilers: It's still Predator - The Game.

No shit this is actually a little fun AND IT UNLOCKS ITEMS IN DRAGON AGE 2 FOR YOU TO USE OMG

One of my friends said it was bad.

I hear the new Ghostbusters game is pretty terrible: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/24/ghostbusters-sanctum-of-slime-review-pc/ Too bad, since I enjoyed the first one.

I went out of my way to kill a few of the enemies in Crysis 2 that I could have snuck past, mostly so I could pick up on the suit upgrades... but I admit I like having the option to just ditch them and move on.

I just finished Yakuza 4. Probably my favorite of the entire series so far. They brought back everything that should have been in Yakuza 3. Most notably for me, mahjong. I really enjoyed the new characters and this is a trend that I would like to see continue into future Yakuza games (if they make any more).

The lack of a primary antagonist did confuse me more than once throughout the game, but I get confused a couple of times every time I play a Yakuza game. I wasn't sure if I would like the new playable characters, but I was surprised when they were all likable and compelling (especially Shun and Taiga).

For me, the weakest part of 4 lies not in the story, but in that the entirety of the game take place in Kamurocho. The reason why I liked Yakuza 2 and 3 was because of the new cities to explore. Even though they did expand the underground and rooftops of Kamurocho, I still think they could have at least added the Osaka location.

I really hope they decide to bring back Kiryu's love interest (Sayama) from Yakuza 2 for the next game. Also, when the hell is Kamurocho Hills going to be completed? Haven't they been working on that since Yakuza 2?

I would probably say: 2 = 4 > 3 > 1

I gonna have to agree with Otaku, Yakuza 4 is one of the better ones in the series. Even though the antagonist didn't appear until 3/4ths into the story, it had in my opinion some of the best final boss fights in the games' history.

I burned way too much time on the demo of Atom Zombie Smasher tonight. It might be the best zombie game I've ever played; it's a rather innovative little RTS, and you finally feel like you're the guy with the power in the zombie apocalypse (tactical nukes and siege cannons can be used), while still having those overwhelming "Oh-Shit-Zombies-Everywhere" moments than any good zombie game needs. Also, the entire thing is styled as a sort of anachronistic version of the sixties (your mission announcements come with the sound of an old modem handshake) and the game's style is heavily influenced by B-Movies. I definitely got an awesome Repo Man vibe as I shelled several city blocks to clear my LZ while surf punk blared through the speakers.

Definitely buying this one.

I started playing Ar Tonelico 3 again...the game might not be very good (the combat is especially terrible) but this game has the greatest backgrounds I have ever seen in a game.

On PC I'm playing Dragon Age Origins. Although I hated it when I played it the first time this time I made some right choices and it has been lot more enjoyable.
On Xbox 360 I'm playing mostly Hard Corps, it's hard to disagree with cool contra style action.
And I'm playing Wind Waker on GameCube, late on the party but at least get to experience it finally.

I also play little bit other games, because for me focusing on three games at a time is impossible.

Will be getting Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner from Gamefly in the next couple of days, so hopefully that's awesome.

I bought Pac-Man Championship Edition DX off of the PSN last night, this game is amazing in so many ways. I never thought Pac-Man could actually be fun.

EDIT: Also rented Dead Space 2.

Finished Dead Space 2...once again I should have gotten the 2 day rental. That being said, the game was way more amazing than the first one, but I can't say that its worth the $60 price tag even with the tacked on multiplayer. A $7 or $8 rental, sure.

I played through Dead Space: Extraction with my younger sister since the rental copy had it on the disc. It was alright...wasn't very scary at all, and the last few chapters made me want the game to end as it was dragging on too long.

The games list:

Borderlands
Re-playing Bioshock in anticipation for the new one
LoL
Ragnarok Online
Modern Warfare 2
Pokemon Black


It's like I'm getting a videogame bukkake >_<

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, its a Golden Sun game; you collect djinn, cast spells, change classes. Its pretty good so far if verbose.

I just logged into minecraft again for the first time in a really long time. It still produces in me conflicting feelings of both agoraphobia and claustrophobia. Every time I'm outside, I half expect to get jumped by a creeper (and often am), when I'm digging, I expect every block I destroy to have a skeleton behind it waiting to shoot an arrow at me.

On the plus side, the game has rain. It feels exactly like a rainstorm, including darkening skies, lightning, and this perfect pitter patter. Then, when I got over how beautiful that was, I started thinking about how it would be much easier for a monster to sneak up on me in the rain.

That game needs friendly NPCs. Right now it just feels like everything in this wonderful nature utopia is trying to kill you.

I found something on Steam called Universe Sandbox, which is an astronomy simulator. I love astronomy, so I started playing around with it. You can do all sorts of things, such as mess with the mass, density, or positions of objects, run simulations of planet or galaxy collisions and all sorts of nerdy other things. Best part is, you can place a teapot in orbit somewhere between the sun and the earth, that alone made my day.

If you can spawn a whale too, I'm in.
