I would suggest you stop. It's the worst game ever made. It starts out ok-ish, but eventually just gets worse and worse and worse and harder and harder and harder. You never get enough experience, enough cash, and enemy strength scales up much faster than you get stronger.

Konami did. They just moe-ified it and called it Otomedius.

Maybe we'll get some more Raiden? Raiden 4 wasn't half-bad.

Tribes: Ascend. I never played any of the earlier ones so I don't know how it compares but I'm having fun.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, 'cause I never have to commit more than half an hour and I never have to get to know anyone.

I've been thinking about trying out Tribes Ascend.

you'd have to play with people you can chat with to survive silver and gold challenges, though. at least i feel you would. i haven't tried any yet except once with a level 7 engineer. that didn't go so well for me or the team.

Silver is doable so long as your team knows to stick together, and you don't have people leave/lag out. Gold... yeah. You definitely need communication there.

just finished the campaign for asscreedbro. the ending definitely left me with some questions.

if i'm lucky, i might be able to play revelations before III comes out.

currently kind of in-between games. will still be wrapping up some sidequests in AC, will eventually beat ME3 on insanity, will dink around more in skyrim, etc.

it's weird, but i'm hooked on a flash TD game, bloons td 5. i like it a lot. for those who want to try it out, i'd recommend just going crazy in easy mode because towers and upgrades are unlocked by kill count.

I seem to be on a playstation nostalgia trip at the moment. After clocking Castlevania: Symphony of the Night I played Suikoden, Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus. I'm thinking of playing either Clocktower or Silent Hill next.

what, that you don't have them or that i don't have the originals instead? i never had a sega cd, just an original genny.

for the record, sssc is broken on my ps2 with hilarious video emulation issues. if you were to draw a box around the psx logo that shows up on the psx bios, and then extend it to the right to double-width (off the side of the screen), the game display occupies that box (with the remainder of the bios screen still present) with palette issues reminiscent of older emulators running in a high-color mode fortunately, it works beautifully on the ps3.

my jewel case is broken, though - i need to get a replacement. the book's still in fantastic shape, though =)

That it's not the originals. SSS is a horrible blasphemy.

EB remake is just plain bad. You know something's gone wrong when your 3-disk PS game has fewer and worse FMVs than the single-disk SegaCD version. Not that that's the greatest sin. The greatest sin is losing the broken that is Dimension Ring+Lucia's Tear.

I was playing Diablo III since launch, but got bored after hitting level 60. I'll eventually finish Inferno mode.

From what /vg says, you haven't even started the game.
