The gaming diary

[Shimra]

Tell me how it is. I´ve been looking forward to it but am holding off.

Playing a bit of Puzzle Quest on the DS, also working my my second run through Mass Effect.

Downloaded PAIN from the Playtstation store. Surprisingly fun game.

Still playing Mass Effect. Did some more sidequesting last night to level myself up to Vanguard 35.

@Tan, are you using the same character or did you create a new one for your 2nd playthrough? Also, are you trying a tougher difficulty or the same? Does the game play out differently? No spoilers please.

Yes I'm using the same character. Since levels 51-60 are locked until you beat it once I want to finish leveling my character to 60 before I try a new one. I'm doing Paragon since I played as Renegade my first time through at a higher difficulty than before.

More Mass Effect. Got past Benezia. I have 1 or 2 more star clusters to go, plus Virmire.

Final Fantasy 6, right before a big event that is amazingly awesome.
Bleach, you know, I'm pretty damn good at this game. I play online but don't use the touchscreen or card restrictions/reinforcements and manage to literally dominate most the people. Pretty cool.

Gears of War

and some DOOM

[nester]

I've mostly been playing Super Mario Galaxy lately. There are other games I want to play, but I'm trying to get it finished so my brother can catch up and my dad can play when I go home for Christmas. I'm sure after Christmas I'll be occupied with other games.

[Tan]

Unreal Championship 2 and plenty of Puzzle Quest.

[phoenix1967]

More Mass Effect. Down to the last 2 star clusters on the map.

@Tan, did you already finish your 2nd playthrough? 

[captain_nintendo]

I haven't had a lot of free time lately (while at work), so I haven't posted much


But I have been playing a lot of 360:

Gauntlet
Aegis Wing
Uno
Spyglass Board Games

MLB 2K6
NBA 2K6
Prey
PSU / expansion
Madden 2006
Halo 3
NBA Live 06
Blue Dragon


I am sure that I have missed something.

@Tan, did you already finish your 2nd playthrough? 

Nah, when I found out it takes 3 playthroughs to get the achievements, I decided to shelve it for a while. I have an excellent memory and when I play a game i remember way too much of it to enjoy it again so soon. A 2nd playthrough is a stretch, 3 is too much. Maybe next year or the year after.

I have to say that I'm probably going to start a 2nd playthrough shortly after finishing the first. I made the mistake of not putting enough points into Charm/Intimidate and definitely want to see how the story changes with the additional dialogue options that I continually found myself missing out on.
