What Have You Been Playing Lately?

Puzzler World XL
Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land
Mario Party 2 (I finally tried this franchise out for my very first time.)

Been playing a few things of late. I will list them by system

PC: World of Warcraft (Been playing this off and now for the past few years and I still don't get tired of it)

Wii: Back to the Future: The Game (A wonderful game that reminds me of the old point and click pc games. If you love the movies than I suggest you check this game out)

Xbox 360: Borderlands (My son and I have a co-op game going on)

3DS: NSMB2 (still trying to get the million coin goal)

DS: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (The best Castlevania handheld game at this point)

3DSVC: Warioland: Super Mario Land 3 (I will get back to this game some day)

Wii U: Nintendoland: (Well kinda of obvious since this is the only Wii U game I have right)

I think that about covers it for now.

Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Wii

Go Vacation

And Yet It Moves (WiiWare)

Arkham City, I've beaten Black Ops 2 and ZombiU.

It's been a longtime, since I even tried to play this game. As you all probably know, I have a problem with downloading games compulsively. As a result, I have a huge backlog of games to play through. Anyways, it really is a fresh approach to a platformer, but the game is over in a flash. Unless you're a completionist and must obtain every achievement possible. And Yet It Moves probably isn't the best priced indie game available in the WiiShop. I'm very surprised how short this game is for a $10 WiiWare title; therefore, I can't wholeheartedly recommend this game. But if you can overlook the somewhat lacking amount of content, there's a really fresh and unique platforming experience on offer here. The achievements and alternate game modes do add some lasting appeal, but how much you enjoy the core experience will determine if or if not that additional content keeps you coming back.

The One and Only: Mario Kart Wii

Been alternating between Gravity Rush for PS Vita, Sonic Generations for 3DS, Sonic and All-Stars Racing for Wii U, and Kirby's Dream Collection - Special Edition for Wii. Gravity Rush is probably done for a while though.

I've been on PC for the majority what with the whole Steam sale going down, but I've been gaming now and again on the Wii.

PC: Team Fortress 2, Hotline Miami, Darksiders 2, Sleeping Dogs

Wii: CoD Black Ops, World of Goo, Art of Balance

DS: Pokemon Ruby

A LOT of rotation going on.

Paper Mario SS
Nintendo Land
Wario Land 2

Assassins Creed 3, im working on the review as i speak

Gunman Clive (of course)

KingreX32, do you actually begin writing your reviews as your playing through the games, or do you just take notes along the way. I decided to play through the game, and then take down notes about my opinion's and other info.

thats what i do, i take notes, but sometimes, i begin writing and as i go along, i edit and update stuff. Then i type up the finished review.

I recently beat

Nintendo Land (12/12 stars and 200 prices),
Little Inferno (completed 100%: all combos/all gold),
Chasing Aurora (beat all 20 stages in single player mode),
and Nano Assault Neo (beat all 16 stages in single player mode).

Leaves Trine 2 - Director's Cut (on the aftermath, I think it's called Goblin's Menace) and Puddle (on the final world) so it's almost time for some new Wii U games.

Also, started playing ZombiU with a friend who got a Wii U on Christmas. Pretty good game. I heard many people saying it's a difficult game, but we played for 3 hours and haven't lost a single life yet. The zombies are extremely easy to kill and aren't much of a threat. We don't even need to use health replenishing items and the safehouse box is almost full to the max. The puzzles are easy as well, thanks to the scanner. I think it's the easiest game on Wii U so far (bar Little Inferno). After the initial scaryness we now rush through it with ease, like playing Resident Evil 4.

Dude ZombiU is one of those games you gotta play be yourself. Its much better that way. And scaryer

Xenoblade Chronicles

I actually decided to play about 4 hours worth of Xenoblade last night. Of which, contained 30 + minutes of cutscenes, so I really only played for 3 1/2 hrs. Shulk now knows that Fiora is still alive, and the story wants me to head back to Makna Forest. So I guess there's only sidequests left to be done in Alcamoth/Eryth Sea, for the moment. I guess I'll just finish off any and all of the available sidequests in Alcamoth/Eryth Sea, because I'm in no hurry to visit Makna Forest again. I think I completed almost a hundred sidequests for those damn Nopon in Frontier Village.

I'm crawling through my games with only short bits to gameplay here and there.

About 2/3rds (i think) through Zelda:SS and almost finished So Blonde: Back to the Island
Also played some Dewy's Adventure

Getting bored of Zelda might switch to something else in my backlog of games for a while.

I didn't invest time in gaming. Last few weeks I've been busy coding and learning how to code CSS, JS and jQuery for my site. This will eventually also lead to a better WiiWareWave, as you might have seen in overhauling WiiWareWave's Live Chat today. Also, I miss playing with GamerZack a lot in the weekends . I hope I'll find some time for that next weekend!

No. Not looking to get one either.

Mutant Mudds
Yup, I decided to begin this game over again next. Although, I've been shooting through the game very quickly this time around, because now I know these level designs like the back of my hand. This game is still just as enjoyable as ever, even though I've already played through these levels like 10X each.

Gunman Clive
I also began playing this game from the beginning again. I'm glad I won't need to worry about turning the 3D off on the 10th level boss battle anymore. I really don't see how people have been able to acheive those star badge par times. It's really not as easy as you may think. You'd have to try it for yourself to understand.

Final Fantasy IX
Dragon Quest IX

Fire Emblem: Awakening

So far, I've only reached chapter three, but I plan to at least play through chapters three, four & five tomorrow. Then I'll be able to access the "Outrealm Gate" and begin downloading add-on content. I believe the first free DLC map from Nintendo will only be available until this following Monday, and then new free content will become available thereafter.

@Nintenbro

Actually, I got an notification from my 3DS that The first DLC is free throughout the month of February. Upcoming DLC will be price at $2.50 each. There will still be free content to download via Spotpass.

Actually SkywardL, check your 3DS notification box. You should've received a notification for FE:A. The "Champions of Yore 1" DLC will only be free to download until February 6th. After that date, the map pack will then cost $2.50 USD.

Nothing for me. Ive finished all my games.

Bit. Trip Saga (3DS eShop)

I played a bit of Runner recently, and I pretty much gave up at level 1-11. The framerate is atrocious, but it doesn't really affect the gameplay for me.

Recently I've been trying to play GTA: San Andreas on my PS2 but it must be damaged or scratched because I keep getting messages displayed on the screen intermittently saying that there's been a problem 'reading the disc'. :-(

I've finally started to play my first Fire Emblem game! I picked up Shadow Dragon today and played it till my battery nearly ran out. I must play it again!

Hmmm lets see I have been playing a little bit of everything lately. Current games that I have been bouncing around with are

Tomb Raider
World of Warcraft
Mega Man II
Mega Man III
Lego City Undercover
Bio Shock Infinite
Monster Hunter Ultimate
Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
The Legend of Zelda
The Legand of Zelda: ALttP
Heroes of Might and Magic III

Only one game comes to mind: Mario Kart Wii

Bought and beat Star Fox 64 3D
Playing Luigis Mansion 2 a lot
harmo Knight
and getting mad at Paper Mario SS's final Bowser Boss

Mario Kart Wii against a cookie turtle

Luigi's Mansion 2 and Fishing Resort.

Trying to unlock the Pipe Frame in Mario Kart 7, because...well, y'know, it's the original Kart, so it tickles the retro gamer within me. Of course, due to Murphy's Law, because it's the Kart I most want to unlock it will be the last Kart I unlock normally. 3000 Coins, here I come!

It's making me sick. I love my Wii. I'll be playing it untill it breaks down (again) in a couple of years. I won't invest in Nintendope blegh... it's making me sick these kinda decisions.

Why not? At least Nintendo has fun games besides those western hack and slash action rpg's and fps's. Nintendo is still releasing eastern titles in the west where Sony and Microsoft are not even bothering with releasing Japanese games even here in Japan.

I support Nintendo because they support good games! Once Move and Kinect were released Sony and Microsoft stopped releasing many fun hardcore games.

I've been playing Go Vacation! Next I'll be supporting.... never mind... Just hush on that MKW thing. I'm in tears all over... I love my Mario Kart Wii... WHY?!!!! God I hate N's now!

Playing Metroid Prime and Wii Sports these days.

Been playing Jak II: Renegade (Jak and Daxter II) on my PS2. It's an excellent game, really bright and colourful but it seems to get annoyingly difficult the further you play through. You have to make these pixel-perfect jumps and if you fail you die. >:-(

I'm glad you found your match

LOL - I get really frustrated when I haven't got the skill to complete a game that I've brought bought. :-)

Brought? Like bring in? Really? I seem to have had'm all today...

ROFL - My excuses for poor grammar in my posts are as follows, it's a cold rainy Sunday afternoon and I haven't had my dinner yet. ;-)

It's ok (it's not just your grammar ). We're having our first Spring afternoon, with temperatures around 75F!! YAAAAAAY!!!!

Well, how's that for a swell start of another week?

I went shopping yesterday and it was so cold and windy that I almost got knocked off my feet. :-(

I've been getting into Pokémon White. My Tepig evolved earlier this morning, so now I have a Fighting-type with whom I can challenge Lenora and her Normal-types!

Been playing Heroes of Might and Magic V that I got from GameFly for free this afternoon.

Been playing Wii Party today with one of my best friends She hates me for smarting her out all the time No, just kidding there, we're still best friends.

Pandora's Tower

2nd boss battle was a little more difficult but not by much. The second tower is a lot more interestingly designed, but it's also more difficult to traverse than the first. I hope the third boss proves to be more of a challenge. At least this game doesn't hold your hand like Skyward Sword does.

I'm giving PT a little break tonight, because I'll be downloading LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins after work.
