The Gaming Diary: Chapter 3

Week #2: The Italian Job for PC.  Italian Job for PSX was pretty good, so this one should be, right?

Rayman Origins (360) - The artwork in this game is fantastic, I still find myself stopping and looking around in some levels just to admire the view.

Since i forgot my thumbdrive with MX vs ATV alive at my brothers i've had to move on to other stuff.

MvC Origins a little bit. Wasn't making great progress towards what i wanted and set it to the wayside AGAIN but this time it was to get back to...

D&D: Chronicles of Mystara. I have already finished it but i helped my co-op buddy through one of the campaigns. Hopefully tonight we can go back through the other one and work on some of the collectable pick ups he needs.

Started Realms of Ancient War for some hack and slashy goodness before bed. Supposed to be a pretty long winded game since you need to play through with 3 characters.

And of course Zoo Tycoon Friends.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (PS4) - Thanks for the free game EA! This game is fantastic!

[Cryptid Collector]

I tried speed-running RE4, this is a "don't stop to pick anything up unless it's health I need" run with the special weapons and Ashley's armor:

Been thinking about maybe tracking down a copy of FarCry 4 on PS4. Never played a FarCry game.

[Izret101]

I've only played Blood Dragon.
I was thinking about firing up FarCry Classic the other night but opted to do so in the near future instead.


On the games played front:
More Realms of Ancient War and Mystara.

Roll in the Hole (WP) - Nearing the end of the levels.

I've come to the heartbreaking realization that I'm not going to finish Persona Q. After 75 hours, I thought the fourth dungeon was the final one, and that the fifth dungeon was just the final boss. Not only is the fifth dungeon yet another full blown dungeon, but it is at least nine floors, where all the others thus far have been four floors. No thanks.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 (PS3) - I love playing as a heel.

[Izret101]

Was given a code of SteamWorld Dig for 3DS.
It is apparently on a butt load of platforms and from my cursory playthru seems extremely promising.

Reminds me of Motherload (which is like a hybridized DigDug)

If you can at least demo it i suggest you do
Seems very kid friendly too. Will find out when my son gets home since i got it for him


For me though
More Realms of Ancient War, Zoo Tycoon and i started one of the new Monopoly games yesterday. Just a random luck achievement left that i really should have just finished by now....

[Link41]

Game Room: Lunar Lander (WP) - I feel like I've landed enough shuttles, I'm ready to be an astronaut now.

[Link41]

Roll in the Hole (WP) - Wrapped up the last of the levels today.

[Izret101]

Finished Monopoly Plus.

Back to Realms of Ancient War. Finished the Warrior playthru. Doing Rogue now. Probably the worst class. Weak ranged weak close. Warrior is strong close no ranged. Wizard is strong ranged.

But since i got as much done as possible with the Warrior i am hoping i can speed run Rogue outside of the one achievement she is required for and then do a full speed run with the Wizard.

Might run through Monopoly Deal tonight too.

After fighting with 2 different NES systems and a Genesis last night, I finally broke down and ordered a Retron 5. Excited to get it. Will finally be able to get into grabbing some imports (plus be able to play my games without having to take 15 mins to tinker with a system every time)
