Nifty Video Game Stuff


Kings of Power 4 Billion - Not quite a video game, but a movie based on one. It's cool. Direct link to the movie here. I don't think it's on YouTube.

Watching that made me think of all the movies I've got in the air. Watch as I count them down:

PS2:
Prince of Persia - I'm stuck in this one stupid room and I hate it, but I love the gameplay. If I can't figure the room out from the inside, I may just restart the game entirely. It's been a while since I played though... Eh.

God of War - I'm pretty sure I'm almost done with it, I just got distracted. I always do that. But maybe if GoW2 goes Greatest Hits, or Chains of Olympus comes down in price, I should have finished the first one.

La Pucelle Tactics - I barely started this one. It's supposedly either a prequel to Disgaea, or more likely, a precursor, along the same lines and such. I never got too far, but I suppose I'll play it later, if I ever hit it big, and have tons and tons of free time or something.

Final Fantasy X - I need to level grind. For hours. But I think I'm almost near the final boss. /me shrugs.

Final Fantasy X-2 - I kinda started this, but I suppose I should finish X(-1?) first. It's very silly, but I like it somehow.

*Final Fantasy XII* - Yay for bizarre sequencialism. I talked about this a lot earlier, but I still find it silly that I'm about 7 hours in, and so far, my character has been tossed into, and broken out of, prison. Twice. IN THE FIRST SEVEN HOURS of a FOURTY + HR GAME! O_O! I'm a jailbird.
GameCube (Ya, I picked up a few for my Wii.):
Pokemon XD - I keep looking at that "XD" and thinking its a smiley face. I'm playing it for the Lugia. I should probably go through and finish that. I wish there was a way for me to transfer my other Pokemon in. That would rock.
Okay, so I just picked up two games for it, and I already beat Sonic Adventure.

Wii:
*Super Mario Galaxy* - I'm very close, and the game is a lot of fun. I'll probably pick some time I've got a lot of spare time, but it should be easily and doable.

Trauma Center: New Blood - This game is monumentally hard, but I love the co-op play. Co-op makes EVERYTHING better. Actually, now that I think of it, I never REALLY beat the first game either. That one mission where you've gotta heal 4 people in ten minutes kicks the shit outta me. Even with help. (I traded controllers off with a friend between patients.)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - I've still gotta unlock Star Wolf, but honestly, "meh". On the other hand, maybe Nintendo will eventually fix their Wi-Fi system and I can battle some friends. Anyone wanna go against me?
Xbox 360:
Mass Effect - I already beat this, but the unleashed a downloadable content episode, so I'm gonna go back and play through that bit, and probably leave the game open for later missions. I also plan on finishing up the other sidequests I never got to. I THOUGHT I HAD MORE TIME! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WOULD BE ONLY FOUR STORY WORLDS!!?

Dead Rising - Yay Zombies. Honestly, the saving system is kinda annoying. I need to actually get through to the end of the first set of cases one of these days. I'm gonna get so tired of seeing the same cutscenes over and over again.

The Orange Box - Or specifically, Half Life 2 and Episodes 1 and 2. I beat Portal, it was great, and I'm waiting for more, either DLC or a sequel. But Half Life 2 is great fun. Never played Half Life 1, though. Wonder if I should try it...?

DOAX2 - In the long form, Dead or Alive: eXtreme Beach Volleyball 2. Cuz hey, it was like seven dollars. Yay bouncing boobs. I mean bikinis. I mean hot wet bodies. I mean... uh, nevermind. I don't think I'm going to "beat" this game, mainly because it's just ridiculous. Literally. I purchased it for Ridicule. But now, Fuck this game. Seriously.

Rainbow Six: Vegas - Yay peering around corners and shooting people repeatedly. Boo being shot at by enemies in a bizarrely over-ful room. I hate that one room. I should go back and beat it maybe, but... nahhhh.
PSP:
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness - I've been a fan of SRPGs, or whatever whatever this style of game is supposed to be, since FFTA. Apparently Final Fantasy Tactics Period is the "best game EVAR" according to the Final Fantasy Fanboys, but FFTA was just the perfect mix of strategy and whimsical story without the bizarre emo-epic-save-the-world stuff. And Disgaea is just wacky enough that I like it too, but I'm not enjoying the fact that, once again, I have to level grind. I HATE levelgrinding. I'll probably tough it out though, and usually once I get into a stride, I'll do okay.

Jeanne d'Arc - It's like Joan of Arc! With demons! And on a "Tactics" style grid! AGAIN! I play a lot of these. I may end up with this on hiatus until after FFTA2 comes out and is beaten.
I also noticed I'm missing my UMDs for Terminator and Spiderman. :(

DS: (I got a lot, so I'll just list the titles)
Pheonix Wright: Justice for All, as well as the 3rd title in the series, and then I'll buy the fourth when it comes out.
Contact
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - I hate that central temple X_X!
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Final Fantasy III - Actually I'm just gonna restart and try to get past the first two towns. I seem to get stuck on some weird area I need to shrink to get into? (Or is that my problem with the first???)
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Sonic Rush
Professor Layton and the Curious Village - ...just the downloadable extras, though.
Phew, that's quite a list. And don't get me started on the BOOKS I've got to get working on... X_X!!?
