The trick is to use that stupid vault attack to beat every single enemy in seconds, so you can get back to the glorious glorious platforming.
Is that the one where you run up the wall, bounce off and hit them? Or the one where you jump over them and hit from behind?

Wall. This works till after The Sand King...then you use those special sand powers you get.

Try to not see combat as a part of the game till you get the OHKO sword.

Is The Sand King the fight with the prince's father? That's the point at which I gave up because I was never able to beat it.

Yes, I think that's the part where the wall jab stops working .

Yep. It was a great day for "FML" when I actually had to start thinking to defeat an enemy. I expected SoT to be a lot more adventerous. It reminds me of a damn Harry Potter game. Quiet, pretty platforms; occasional and often fleeting action; and why the Hell are they in the middle east speaking with British accents (that part I like though)?

Still, all the sand powers you get are pretty cool. I especially like the mega time-stop or whatever it's called, though I never get the full use out of it becuase it takes too long for the zombies to reappear.

52 hours in MMBN3 now. Spent two hours grinding for bugfrags today.

On the one hand, I do have one of the side quests prematurely completed. On the other hand, I can't access it until I get all of the fucking standard chips. 13 to go.

I got the downloadable content for Prince of Persia, and I am completely surprised by the overhaul they gave to the combat and platforming. It is now the worst piece of shit I have ever played. The combat is now 98 percent quicktime events that are so ungodly difficult it took me 40 goddamn minutes to win the last one I did. I appreciate that they listened and made changes, but fuck you, Ubisoft. Fuck you.

Yet another game that should be on XBLA.

Try downloading the Rez soundtrack and using it. Might not be your cup of tea for musical taste but it should definitely up the ante in fun.

Rez...wasn't that a sort of mixture of an arcade flying game, rave music with wire frame graphics?

I'm now reminded of the total pain-in-the ass quicktime buttonfest of Indigo Prophecy. Namely the dancing sequence that reset every time you fucked up, making you button-dance over and over again to repetitive stock R&B music.

Been playin' Armored Core For Answer. The mecha building is so fun.

I built a speedy little bastard with the lightest, weakest body ever and sent him flying across the map and doing circles around the slow-arse cannon fodder.

It's hard, but I wouldn't say that it's too hard. It's one of the few games that I have all of the achievements for. Now, if you want to try hard, you should check out the levels that I made for it. Those fuckers are brutal.

I can testify to that, the last three levels were crazy.

Crazy as in it took me three minutes of constant retries to get out of his first obstacle on Honeypot. And that was a fluke.

You should get the Doritos Dinosaur (I forgot it's name) arcade game. It's free and its piss to get 200G. Too bad its a shit game.

Yerh I also made some crazy levels, you can waste hours of time on that level editor.

I'm playing a bit of Far Cry 2 at the moment. It's too bad I have a crap PC and it runs at 25 / 30 fps on extremely low graphics.

It wasn't that bad when you're looking for something to chuckle at. I can't criticize since it was free and poked fun at itself.
