The gaming diary

I tried reinstalling Half Life 2 but it keeps coming up with an error message about a network problem or a CD-ROM problem. So I dug up my old Steam account, logged on then found out I can download it from there. Steam sucks, but at least it's helped me now. The download speed isn't bad either. It's maintaining 150-200KB/s.

Wii Sports and PSU

Half Life 2 and Age of Empires 3.

I just got 229,579 on Tetris DS marathon mode. Not too bad.

Lately, I've been playing a lot of Def Jam: Fight for NY for the Xbox. Sweet game!

I am on the Nightmare stages of Feel The Magic on DS.

I keep losing on the 3rd nightmare due to impatience.

More Def Jam: FFNY for Xbox. I'm at about 73% complete. My character looks like Wierd Al, it's hilarious to watch him kick ass!

Lot of Xbox 4P multiplayer last night. Def Jam: FFNY, Flatout 2, NCAA 2006 (played a half with mascot teams...funny stuff, almost impossible to play "D", though), From Russia With Love, and MoH: European Assault.

Sonic Mega Collection on PS2

Played the original Sonic.  I remember now why I loved this game when it first came out on Sega. Played for a couple hours. Trying to remember all the secrets.

More Phantasy Star Universe!
Hope to reach level 65 tonight.

Played the Crackdown demo. And the trial game for Heavy Weapon from XBLA. Heavy Weapon is a pretty sweet side-scroller.

I was pretty tired when playing Crackdown last night, so I'll give it another try soon; but from what I played, I liked it.

More PSU last night. Reached my goal of level 65.... On to 66

Finally got Metroid Redesign to work. Freaking amazing hack of Super Metroid. New physics, new items, new maps, new everything(besides graphics). Needless to say this is going to be holding my interest for a while.

Oh, and on a side note, of the two Super Metroid hacks I've played both of them have been better than Metroid, Metroid 2, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission. Metroid fans know what people want more than the developers I suppose.

Finished story mode in Def Jam: FFNY. Time to write the review!

[Shimra]

Still playing Metroid Redesign. I beat Kraid finally but now I am stuck in a portion of Brinstar with absolutely nowhere to go besides Norfair, the problem is Norfair is completely heated and I don't have the varia. According to the creator you need to keep running while looking for recharge stations but damnit I can't find them.

Also I finally got around to getting Phoenix Wright 2, and I must say it is amazing, like the original. It's harder too, I lost on the first case right at the first opportunity. I figured out what I did wrong and let's just say that was ingenious.
