Beaten in 2009

[7th lutz]

5.) Shock Trooper - Wii (SNK Arcade Classics vol. 1)

[jcalder8]

Finished Monster Jam for the 360 today. It's pretty easy and short but I enjoyed it. I wish that they would bring out a second one because they do have some good ideas in there. Also getting to crush cars as a monster truck is almost always fun.

[jwook0719]

Valkyria was all it was cracked up to be. I hope they use that engine in more SRPGs.

Valkyria Chronicles 5/24/09
Persona 4 - 4/24/09

Dynastic Hero for the Turbografx-16/CD today.

2. Kirby's Block Ball (GB)- 2/14
3. Fallout 3 (360)- 2/26
4. Gradius Galaxies (GBA)- 3/1

7. Pokemon Platinum (DS)- 4/23
8. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)- 5/19
9. Punch-Out (Wii)- 5/24

Most of my gaming is done on the portable systems these days.

[incubus421]

5/25 - Patapon 2 (PSP) (time = 23:50'11'') - Just as cute and excellent as the first one and hoenstly probably a bit more addicting with the new level up/class change trees. Job well done.

4/21 - Mickey and Minnie Great Circus Mystery (SNES)

1/10 - Fallout 3 (PS3) (time = 69:40'02'')

[fahlim003]

Just beat the US Metroid Fusion. Not too bad although I would say I prefer Zero Mission on the whole for being a more complete and balanced game.

[SegaAges]

I beat Sonic 1 and 2 (Sonic Ultimate Genesis collection)

I also finally beat Gears of War 1

[gjackx]

I just beat Dragon Egg for the PCE/TG-16. It was really short...but, very enjoyable.

[kupomogli]

Battletoads and Final Fantasy. Beat FF using the same character group that I did the last three times playing it. I'm going to start FF for the PSP sometime later, so I'll once again be using the same party since the Red Mage is a godly support unit thanks to the pool of MP system instead of the level based MP system. Next time I play the original, my Red Mages are going to be replaced with Black Mages.

[Insaneclown]

Finished Strikers 1945 (Playstation) last night.

I'm playing that game tomorrow night. :D I haven't played the Playstation version yet. I've only played the Neo Geo version.


I beat Samurai Shodown III for the playstation today in one sitting. 11 wins in a row. Lost to the final boss twice...then finally beat him the 3rd time. I'm just that damn good. Haha! :D

[fahlim003]

Finished Strikers 1945 (Playstation) last night.

What do you mean finished? Do you mean 1 credit cleared both loops or did you just credit-feed through to the end of the first loop?

[heybtbm]

What do you mean finished? Do you mean 1 credit cleared both loops or did you just credit-feed through to the end of the first loop?

I'll quote myself from a few weeks ago...


Of course "beating" a SHMUP is kind of like beating a fighting game...which is to say I've just scratched the surface.

[Mianrtcv]

I finished PSP tiles: Jeanne D'arc and Brave Story.

[kupomogli]

Ninja Gaiden 2. I'm going to get a run put on youtube of a playthrough once I get one that I've went through the last stage and finishing without looking terrible.

However, that's not going to be for awhile now. Since Crimson Echoes pre-98% beta was released, I'm going to play Chrono Trigger, Prophet's Guile, then Crimson Echoes.

I got around to beating Final Fantasy today for the first time. It's a pretty darn good game.

I think I'm going to tackle Klonoa for the Wii next, since I've had it since it came out.

[The Old School Gamer]

#7 Call of Duty World at War (PS3)

Played thur on the regular difficulty.

[Sudo]

#28: inFamous (PS3).

[A Black Falcon]

9. Panzer Dragoon (Saturn) -- this was a month ago, but I forgot to post it here. Spectacular game... short, but just exceptional and spectacular. One of the all-time great soundtracks, amazing art design, innovative gameplay for its genre, and more... these games were one of the main reasons I got a Saturn a few months back, and it was well worth it.

10. Ninja Gaiden II - The Dark Sword of Chaos (NES) -- Oh yeah... now that was awesome. I didn't think I'd actually finish, I thought I'd give up right near the end like I did last week with the first game... but no, I stuck with it, and made it through! I got both of these last week for $4 each, and they were worth it as I knew they would be. I think this may be eaiser than the first one because of stuff like how it lets you continue from the second stage when you die at a boss in the last few levels instead of making you play the entire level over (and I don't know if anything here is quite as hard as Ninja Gaiden 1's level 6-2...), but still, it was tough for sure, so it was really satisfying to finish it. I've had my NES on for a couple of days now playing through this, now I can turn it off... :)

The last few bosses were really tough though, I did almost give up... but with some luck and some skill (and a few hints for the first one of the three), I got them. :)

[fahlim003]

Finally mustered the effort to complete Half-Life on Windows. It starts out pretty good but I didn't dig the ending, pardon the final boss which was ok. BTW, anyone know if anything is supposed to happen after the credits?

[Nionel]

Ugh...been awhile since my last addition, I need to stop playing so many RPGs at once...

Very solid platformer, the story wasn't the best, but I loved every minute of the gameplay. I can't believe I missed out on this series for so long, I don't have a Wii so I can't play the remake of the original, but I'm going to try to track down a copy of the PS1 version.

[Arcade_Ness]

Finished Exile(TCD) tonight. I enjoyed it despite getting lost in the dungeons. I found it to be rather easy, but still fun.

This game was a nice throw back to the old SNES days. It was a lot of fun to play it again and I'm hoping when I get around to playing the DS remake of Chrono Trigger that I get that same nostalgic feeling.

11. Ninja Gaiden Shadow (GB) -- It's kind of short, and apart from the final bosses second form the game is not too hard, once you've learned what to do at each point, but is really fun. This was a great game, I enjoyed it a lot... well worth playing. Definitely makes me want Shadow of the Ninja. :)

Never anything wrong with playing some more Pokemon. Thankfully, the new additions made it different enough from Diamond and Pearl to keep me enetertained the entire way through. I finished the main game at 54:55, I'll likely come back to this later to wrap up the post game quest and try to finish the Pokedex.

[Rickstilwell1]

Just used an emulator to beat the first two BS Zeldas (Thirdquest and Fourthquest no time limit versions) this morning. They were pretty easy good games.

12. Maxi 15 - Menace Beach (NES)

Menace Beach, which is on the Maxi 15 cart I got last week ... Yes, aka Sunday Funday, the horribly hard platformer on a skateboard mentioned in the AVGN's Bible Games video for example. It's... frustrating. The controls are so, so slippery, and you die randomly so many ways... bounced back by spring blocks, hit by enemies or random shots while on a balloon, bumped into a pit, because THAT jump block secretly bounces you down into the pit instead of into the air, etc, etc. It's such an annoying game...

Still, it does some interesting things. You can pick up items, which is vital at some points (for carrying a bomb over to where you have to try to blow up a sumo guy with it, for example). Now blowing up sumo guys with bombs (the only way to kill them) is very hard and frustrating, as you need to toss it and then just hope that he's in its range when it goes off (likely he won't be and you need to go back and try again), but it's somewhat different at least...

Also, you have infinite continues from the beginning of the level, there are only 12 levels, and the first half of the game isn't that hard, apart from some frustration in level two. Level 9 is by far the hardest one; that one took a LOT of frustration to get past, that's for sure. From beginning to end, it's just so, so hard...

Once I finally managed to get past it, though, level 10 wasn't too bad, and 11 only had one tricky part (with a jump too long to jump and with no balloon; I eventually just figured to to the 'floating jump' you do when you repeatedly hit jump in the air (or turn on turbo and hold the jump button... :)), getting as far as possible before dying. This worked and there was a continue point on the next platform... kind of annoying, though, that you seem to have to die to get past that (unless there's something I missed, which quite possible). Oh well... at least the last level wasn't very long. The final boss was kind of tricky, those rocks kill you instantly, but it's short. The final boss is a bit of a pain, but once you figure out how to hit him (use the rocks...), I eventually beat him. It definitely took a lot of tries, though. This is one game that I'd never get anywhere near the end of without infinite continues, that's for sure!

Oh, in classic NES fashion, the ending wasn't particularly rewarding. Oh well, I wasn't exactly expecting much. At least there is an ending scene and not just "END" on the screen and that's it or something. :)

Finished Infamous tonight. Fun game, great Crackdown feel to the whole thing. Probably the best non-MGS exclusive on PS3. Open-world game with superpowers always = win.

Metal Gear Solid - Normal [first time beaten ever without cheating!!]

13. Children of Mana (DS) - Kind of boring game, which is why it took so long for me to get around to finishing it... I decided to finish it, for some reason. Simplistic yet confusing story, minimal touchscreen usage, mediocre, button-mashing gameplay... yeah, this was bland. Oh well. Good music at least...

[Nionel]

31. Pokemon Platinum (DS)
32. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (DS)

Interesting game, it was short (clocking in at just over eight and a half hours to beat), but it was pretty fun. I was glad that I was able to pick up a copy, this was a game that I had wanted to play on the PS1 but being able to play through the DS version is good enough for me. I just wish that NIS had left the extra content they added in the Japanese version to the US game, it would've been nice to be able to squeeze a little more playtime out of the title.

21. Call Of Duty 2 - Xbox 360
Thought this was going to be the first game I finished this year as I picked up this and Mirror's Edge just before the new year. However, having gone two-thirds of the way through the game I left it untouched until the other day when I finally finished it. I found it enjoyable but a lot lacking from number 4.

22. Call Of Duty: World At War - Xbox 360
Surprisingly it wasn't finishing CoD2 which made me buy this but the Modern Warfare 2 trailers. Anyway, it was fantastic, although a lot less serious than the two Infinity Ward games I've played. Still, full of amazing setpieces and I'm definitely up for another setpiece filled World War 2 shooter.

#18 - Peggle Dual Shot (DS) - I beat Adventure mode for both Peggle and Peggle Nights. I haven't beaten challenges yet, but looking at them I don't think I'll be able to, so I still count this as a completion. (Jun 4)

Yeah, I know. I stated this in my first post with them in. Since I am recording this primarily for my own benefit then I decided to list them separately. I decided that beating Retro Game Challenge as a whole is different than beating the individual games as you can beat Retro Game Challenge simply by cheating your way through the individual games, something I haven't done yet - in fact, the way the game is set up that seems the "correct" approach. Whereas it also presents the games separately and you can try and complete them without any aids. To that end, I add them to my list the same way I would add individual games from any other compilation.

[Jake2215]

Mega Man 6, Super Mario Bros 2, Castlevania

[heybtbm]

Finished GTA: Chinatown Wars tonight. Based on the frequent nagging of Kotaku, I synced my statistics with the Rockstar website and found the two "Lions of Fo". I guess that "officially" means I've finished the game.

Fun game, but so annoying at times. I don't see me trying for 100%. It's the first GTA game that I don't plan on doing that. Decent for a DS game. Kind of shitty for a GTA game.

[The Old School Gamer]

#8 Terminator Salvation (360)

Rented this one, it only took about 4 and a half hours to beat. I liked the game well enough but I'd be angry if I had paid $60 for it. If you want some easy achivement points or trophies be sure to rent it.

I've been wanting to play this for years. I was finally able to borrow it from a friend and I'm glad I did. It was everything I was expecting it to be and more. Granted, many of the newer Metroidvania's are better in quality, but nothing can truly beat the original.

[PentiumMMX]

Beaten so far:

#1: Super Mario Galaxy [61 stars obtained] (Wii)
#2: .hack//Infection (PS2)
#3: .hack//Mutation (PS2)
#4: Altered Beast (Xbox 360 [Sonic's UGC])
#5: Mario Party DS [Story mode] (DS)

New to list:

#6: Pokémon Platinum [Elite Four beaten; National Pokédex obtained] (DS)

Been a while since I last beat a game. With Pokémon Platinum out of the way, I'll probably get back to Zelda: Oracle of Ages and .hack//Outbreak soon

[kaedesdisciple]

Another tick for the 360, I finished the campaign for Halo Wars. Wow, that was short!

Almost forgot, finished Resident Evil 5 on the 360 a bunch of times, too.

23. LostWinds - WiiWare
The first WiiWare game I paid money (not Nintendo stars) for and well, it was good, not as good as the reviews at the time made out. Lots of bugs on the final boss and an annoying bit before then (only annoying because I didn't know where to go). But the game is at its best when it lays out its Zelda-style puzzles for you. Short but an okay game.

[The Old School Gamer]

#9 TMNT (360)

Simular to Prey in that you can't lose. I rented this one just for the easy 1,000 achivement points. The platforming parts were at times alot of fun, but your turtle can get a little flaky leading to many falls into bottomless pits. The Fighting parts were far too simple. Good for young gamers but otherwise an all around mediocre game at best.

[Sonicwolf]

Goddamned PS2 corrupted my Vice City save file about 3 missions from the end. dingers. well, I count that as an inconvienent finish.
