i have tried the demo and it kinda feels different on an arcade stick, maybe cuz i am used to the SF4 timing but its basically the same game.
right now i am playing SSF4 AE, dynasty warriors GUNDAM 3, yakuza 4, bastion.

I've been playing it since release and except for not being completely customizable it's not bad at all.

If it wasn't for the Z motion shortcut I would probably kill myself.

I've been playing Wizardy: Labyrinth of Lost Souls and I don't hate it. Aside from the moderately hi-res sprites (which don't animate whatsoever), it is no more advanced than Shin Megami Tensei II for the SNES but without the bullshit monster conversation mechanic. My real complaint is that there is no manual or tutorial to speak of because of all the stats and gear and class reqs and shit which ends up being really confusing. I like that melee classes like warriors can do more than just swing their swords around even if it is just spend one turn to attack a group thrice.

Also, picked back up Tales of Graces, which has really good humanoid boss designs like a guy who dual-wields gun-lances.

We'll talk if there's ever a time when I can do a consistant ultra. For now, that's just free dragon punches.

I'm playing Red Faction Guerrilla. I'm really liking that the game limits you to carrying a sledgehammer and only 3 other weapons (as opposed to how many ever weapons HL2 has). It forces you to balance the way you attack infrastructure with how you deal with the EDF when they show up to wreck your world. So far, I've had really good success with climbing mountains and sniping high value buildings with the nano rifle from so far away that the EDF can't see me and my alert level stays green.

I'm not digging the timed "get this car to the safe house" missions. Some of the vehicles handle worse than the dune buggy from Half Life 2, and I have frequently run out of time just outside the goal area (sometimes when I'm less than 10 feet away, and often times having just flipped the vehicle onto its roof).

Yeah, the driving was bullshit. Mostly only useful for crashing cars into things. I stopped doing the driving missions after a while. Thankfully they're a pretty small part of the game.

I would pay upwards of $60 (as many as $65) for someone to smash together a half-broken co-op patch for that game on PC. That is probably the only game I would need to play for the rest of my life.

My goal was to put as many remote mines as I could onto a car and do action rolls out of them while they were barreling into buildings.

i.e.: i'm a video game terrorist.

Someone come play Age of Empires Online with me. The co-op missions are great but its hard finding a great player to play with.

In Red Faction Guerilla did you ever try the one where you park a load of cars on a bridge then detonate one to start a chain reaction that destroys the structure? It's kinda hard to do and you're better off doing it on a small bridge but the result is quite satisfying.

Finally got to playing Bastion, been busy fucking shit up with the mortar!

I've definitely parked a ton of cars in a place and blown them up but what I loved to do was put bombs all over the supports of a bridge, get Mars cops to chase me, and then detonate them right after crossing it.

I like things that are free.

I've been playing Painkiller because of my itch for a cheesy action FPS. More of that would be cool.

Don't you just love it when tf2 decides that it just doesn't want to start without crashing anymore?

Going to try and beat Zelda 2 (I am using savestates) finally, after getting to the last dungeon and quitting my whole life. I'm streaming it some evenings, sans audio for now.

Even on an emulator I wasn't able to bring myself to do beat Zelda 2. Fight the good fight, sir.

I got the social aug at the very end of the game and if I hadn't I never would've known some of the cool UI work that went into it. It's actually not that bad. It gives you some vague tips as to a person's personality type, but it's not a win button. It's primary use is that it'll give you an extra button in some conversations, and in certain sidequests that extra button will help you a tonnnnnnn (or be the only way to proceed).

Decided on a whim to play some TF2. My favorite parts of that game are either when teamwork actually happens, or when something retarded but awesome happens. I found a game of Support type only Point Capture. Managed to take the point as a medic and spinning in a circle and swinging my saw. Then, on the next round, me and 2 other medics made a ridiculous uber chain and captured a point in a few seconds. It was pretty good.

Playing some Resistance 3, I don't know how the online pass is going to work for the people who rent.

Only FPS where I actually like the story as crazy as it is (maybe that's why) and so far this one is moving at a nice pace.

OK, having played the multiplayer that shit is going to get crazier once people start learning how to exploit the powers.
They literally took all of Halo's power-ups, CoD's perks and then went to town with every other crazy thing that wasn't already there.

Here are some of the powers (it says all but it looks like there's more in the actual game).

Best so far are that a bunch of crawlers (the game's version of face huggers) come out of your body when you die and go nuts attacking people, and an ability that lets you teleport like 10 feet ahead.
Also, they did the Hologram better than Reach since it walks right next to you and copies your actions.

I'm looking forward to checking out some Dead Island tonight.

I decided to check out the new DC Online Expansion, which added GL powers and some other new content. I really like the new power, it does a nice job of constructs combing off of other constructs (You can use the light claws to do up to 4 melee attacks, but if you use a range attack you can switch to a ram attack or mini-gun, depending on if you press or hold the button, and it doesn't cost any additional power, which is super nice) and you can easily go from melee combo into a construct combo, so it is probably the best physical power in the game. I still like this game far more then I should, and it gives me something to do until SW:TOR comes out.

Don't forget that the whole time I was yelling "There's a zombie porno, there's a zombie porno!"

About the middle of last month I figured I need to start getting rid of some of my backlog before September because there were so many games coming out that I wanted to get starting then and continuing for seemingly forever. Played through Assassin's Creed 2 (great with sub titles turned on) , Nier (SE can still make good games, who knew?), Fallout New Vegas, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 (ugh). Currently burning through Cathrine, I'm at stage 9-1. I like the game but the puzzles suck the life out of me. I made it to stage 5-1 before I was like screw it and just started using youtube to complete the puzzles. The game is still balls-hard. I'm hoping to finish it Thursday, I've had all I can take for now.

Sadly I still have Demon's souls, Valkyria Chronicles, and Bionic Commando (lol) to play through and Resistance 3 and Dead Island just came out. I was hoping those games would suck so I could avoid them but it doesn't seem to be so.
