I'm playing Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling together. Judging by the rhetoric that the turbo fatbeards on youtube are spewing, it's the best SRPG ever. I got it with the Guidebook which is something I haven't done since I was 13, but this is one of those cases where the guide will just explain how to complete the game but not how to beat the game, that is, I still have to play pretty carefully. It looks amazing; the sprite art is superb and all the character portraits look detailed and tell you a lot about the characters. The writing is fantastic, especially given the genre and the music is so good I had my headphones in my PSP and ended up listening to a 13 minute or so orchestral piece that was the menu music, thinking it was something else. It's pretty much the only thing I got for my birthday that wasn't food so I'm excited. Unfortunately updating away from CFW on my PSP to play it killed about 70 hours of progress on some homebrew games but oh well number systems and fantasy battles ahoy.

:
I finally got round to buying and downloading Corpse Party for my PSP last night.

I love it.
I completely understand the whole 'play scary games at 3 AM in the dark with headphones' thing now because Corpse Party was pretty god damn creepy.

i always get crazy urges to replay morrowind. it was always my least favourite elder scrolls (extremely unpopular opinion) but i remember getting the biggest sense of adventure from it, which i miss a lot.

I have been playing Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee on my Vita and I'm now at the stockyard return part. Very fun.

Has anyone had a chance to play Behemoth's new game, Battleblock Theater? There doesn't seem to be a demo for it which is kind of strange since there's always a free trial for arcade games on Xbox. I'll probably get it later.

Ohhhhh man, the trailers for this game are funny enough for me to consider getting a 360 just to try it out. Hopefully they release it cross-platform later on like Castle Crashers. How much is it?

I'm tempted to make this my sig but I'd lose banner privileges again and once was enough.

I would like to reiterate that Tactics Ogre VII is fucking amazing and probably the most well constructed game I've ever played. I'd suggest everyone download or buy it but it's effing rare and it's virtually impossible to pirate. If you see it in a shop pick it up, it's pretty hard to find and you can probably resell it so some sperglord for all kinds of profit.

As a matter of fact, I'd go so far as to consider doing my first Let's Play with it if some people could teach me how to do that with PSP games.

Is that the same as Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together? Because that's available for £15 on the playstation online store thingy.

Noooo my dreams

Anyway I guess I mean more the physical copy of the game is rare. I haven't checked PSN in awhile but I'm positive they didn't have it the last time I was on there. Anyway you should get it, now that I've shanghaied you into talking about it it's simply the only option.

I'm up to the third mansion in Luigi's Mansion 2.

First boss was a giant possessed spider, first midboss was three elegant ghost ladies, second boss was a haunted flight of stairs.

Luigi sure is getting shit done despite being so scared.

Getting back into Quake Live again, again, again. I almost built up to 1200elo, but I then lost ~6 consecutive games. Also, I had my face punched in by one of Australia's highest elo players.

Not being premium and having to stick to one rotation of maps is bad. Not being able to vote maps on free servers any more is ridiculous. I might just dish out the $24 and get into a regular routine.

I picked up Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for the Vita. I liked the demo a lot, but what really put me off once I started playing the full version was that I couldn't choose English as a language. I'm seriously stuck with the Nordic localization and apparently I can't play it in English unless I a) buy it from the PSN store or b) import it. *sigh* Anyways, the game is quite good so far, I just hate hearing the characters speak in Finnish.

I'm playing Dark Souls with Chris's help. It's a tough game but so far it doesn't feel unforgivably difficult, just rage inducingly hard. I'm still very early on though. Definitely worth buying if the level of depth in it is as much as people say.

FUCK skeletons though.

Fun, enjoyable, challenging, bosses were a bit of a let-down.

Monkey Island 2 for the first time.

I am not disappointed. It's every bit as perfect as it should be. I never want it to end, because I know that there will probably never be another Gilbert Monkey Island game for me to play.

I don't even know what makes it so addictive, but I just want to squeeze every line of dialogue and quirky puzzle out of this game.

The other reason why you never want it to end is because the ending is shit. That is not overstatement. I'm only saying it to warn you.


Awesome game otherwise, though.
