Donkey Konga 2

I suck at it.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

In my opinion Donkey Konga sucks at existing.

Building all kinds of castles and then watching as the forces of evil dash their brains out, like waves upon a shore, trying to get in. You won't get my lord ye pansies!!!!! I love Stronghold.

What system? Or is it only on PC?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

PC only. I hear 2 sucks.

I should have contributed to this earlier...

Currently I'm juggling between Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls(FF1, just got the Earth Crystal), Shadow Hearts Covenant(pretty early in the game), Advance Wars DS(Mission 15, very easy game compared to AW1 and 2) and to a much lesser extent Jak 2(terrible compared to the original) and Final Fantasy X(about 11 hours in, kinda got bored).

And of course Super Metroid. But I'm ALWAYS playing Super Metroid, so that's nothing new.

Played a few hours of Fable:tLC (Xbox) yesterday. Got through Twinblade's camp. I've just taken the quest to find the Archaeologist.

I've also found 3 of the 4 blue mushrooms I need (new sidequest). I haven't tried eating any of them to see if it does anything, though. While doing one of the other sidequests, I discovered another area that wasn't there before (*SPOILER*...along the path where you're escorting the 2 traders to the trading town, you come across a bordello. But at the point I was at in the game is was "closed for renovations".)

Fishing (so far) has been a lot easier. They've even added a chicken kicking contest. It's pretty funny!

I've been using the Summon spell this time around. Really cool how your minion is upgraded. I started with an insect, which evolved into a bandit, which evolved into a bandit elite.

Overall, I'm liking this version a lot. I definitely recommend it to those that enjoy action RPGs, even if you've played through the first version which came out a year and half ago.

You're playing the Far Cry campaign? Did you finish it yet? I'm early in the game where I have to infiltrate a military compound and get a vehicle to get out of there.

I'm still going down the river after being injected with the feral abilities.

Well I picked up Jak 2 again, and I must say that I am addicted. Much much better than I initially thought.

Another game from the discount bins!

How does it play out? Is it a basic platformer or is there more to it (i.e. puzzles, skill tree, etc.)?

What's your take on the interface? You preferring 1st person or 3rd person?

When I've tried starting up with this one a couple of times, the flow of play seemed clunky. But maybe I was missing something...
