Beaten in 2010

[AcePuppy]

Continuing with tradition and in some parts of the world it already is 2010.. what have you beaten this year?

[Snapple]

I have beaten a lot so far in 2010. Too much to even list ;).

[JSoup]

I approve of this topic.

[Julio III]

Kicking off 2010 by completing a game on day one!

1. Real Racing - iPhone

Now I know its only an iPhone game, but its the most console like of my iPhone games and had to do a huge number of races. That last one was very intense and nerve-racking. Great game.

[portnoyd]

Batman Arkham Asylum. But I did start it before we left for Michigan. The game's fantastic and I was highly disappointed when it ended.

[VACRMH]

1. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (PS3) 1/1/10

[thom_m]

1. Street Fighter IV (on my brother's PC). Medium level, with Sagat. It counts, doesn't it?

[Zoltor]

I chose to go with a classic for the first game I beat this year, Lufia 2, and now I'm at the end of Chrono Trigger(SNES of course).

After that I plan to get in some Faria, and FF 7, before feb/mar comes, because I'll be playing Shiren(wii), RO(DS), and SMT:Strange Journy(DS).

[onReload]

Ahhh, finished it last night but it was technically already the 2nd of January:

1. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

[Haoie]

Silent Hill 3, today.

[Jehusephat]

I know you can't really "beat" Dr. Mario for the NES, but I have thoroughly abused him already this year. :smash: I finished level 22 on high earlier today on my FC Mobile II. I know it goes up to 24 or something, but 22 is still far enough to see the viruses get abducted by the UFO. I'd call that an ending, I guess.

[vrikkgwj]

1.) Torchlight 1/2 -- Level 32 Alchemist

It was a great little game, but the end boss almost made me not want to replay the game. He was unfair, impossibly hard, and just stupid. I wish games had good end fights still.

[maxlords]

Beat F.E.A.R. on 1/1/10. Bout damned time I got around to it.

[phreakindee]

1. Shadow Warrior. Only ever really played Duke Nukem 3D back in the day and ignored this one. Darned entertaining.
Made a review of the game for Lazy Game Reviews: Shadow Warrior review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgZYP0w2crI)

2. Blood. Amazingly well-done game, very much like Duke 3D just much darker and more sinister. Blood review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvsBcq0WmY0)

3. Carmageddon

[The 1 2 P]

Beat F.E.A.R. on 1/1/10. Bout damned time I got around to it.

Thats an awesome game. I beat it several times for the extra achievements but I enjoyed every playthru.

Yesterday I finally beat Modern Warfare 2. A very good game but it definitely left a bunch of plot holes open to be filled in with the next sequel.

[JSoup]

1. Lego Batman

I'm very much enjoying the Lego series and this is an excellent entry. It's great to see all the classic Batman characters kicking the tar out of each other in all their Lego goodness. I think this plays better than previous games in the Lego series (Star Wars) and is well worth the time for anyone who was a fan.

[Swamperon]

1. Professor Layton & The Diabolical Box
2. Shining Force (for the umpteenth time)

Both of my saves were sitting towards the end of the game, blasted through them last night. Am trying to work my way through my backlog of games where I'm near to the end. A surprisingly high amount!

[JSoup]

Both of my saves were sitting towards the end of the game, blasted through them last night. Am trying to work my way through my backlog of games where I'm near to the end. A surprisingly high amount!

I'm in the same boat. I have a number of games I started, got to the end to and then I don't know what happened. I cleared out a bunch of them last year.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)

MM9
Much like Swamperon and Gameboy Color, I was right near the end of this one, so I just loaded it up and finally beat the last few levels. I did enjoy this game, I think I tricked myself into thinking it was much harder than it actually was so it took me a long time to finally beat it. I did enjoy it though and I am more than ready for Mega Man 10 in the coming months.

Mean Bean Machine
I like the Puyo games, but man can they get hard toward the end. Either way I'm done with this game...so, let's never speak of it again.

[Pk116]

After dozens of hours I finally beat Super Mario Bros. 2 (J)...

:frustrated:

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)

I decided to play through this game on a whim. It's still a lot of fun and it's probably one of the better titles I'll play through since I'll be trying to beat all my XBLA titles over the next few months. Especially since I haven't even played some of them.

[Jehusephat]

2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)

Mean Bean Machine
I like the Puyo games, but man can they get hard toward the end. Either way I'm done with this game...so, let's never speak of it again.

I just tried playing this game against a friend a few days ago after not having played it for a few years, and I am no longer a master at it. I used to be the guy nobody would ever play against because they never stood a chance, and now I can't even set up simple combos. Mean Bean Machine doesn't let you counter enemy puyos, so once someone gets a nasty combo on you you're dead. I was used to playing Kirby's Avalanche, and a good part of my strategy relied on countering combos while I set up massive ones.

[speedgtr]

so far
blue dragon
ridge racer 6

[Arkhan]

hasnt been very long but I finished:

Klonoa 2: PS2
Pangya: PSP (Don't know if this really counts as "beaten", but I unlocked it all)
Time Hollow: DS
I got my warrior to 80 finally on WoW?
my gargoyle necromancer paladin samurai (lol) on UO finally got 120 swordsmanship so hes completely complete

I guess being off of school and having nothing else to do results in alot of me staring at screens.

not that thats a bad thing.

[johndarkness]

Just beat Resistance for PSP. One of the best game for that system if you ask me.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)

Golden Axe II

Not much to say here, the Golden Axe games are fun, but I'm not the biggest fan. This one wasn't a huge improvement over the first game, so I'm hoping the third will be a bit better. Expect to see some more Genesis titles and XBLA titles as I try to work through my backlog on the 360.

Eternal Sonata

I enjoyed this one, it took me forever to finally get through it but I did enjoy it. It wasn't super long, it took me just over 20 hours to beat the main questline, but there are still some things for me to do in the game, so I'm not finished with it yet. Not my favorite RPG on the 360, but it's up there and worth playing if you're a fan of this style of game.

[GnawRadar]

1. 1/5 - Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)

First time beating the game as Chris, and in 4 hours with 12 saves while saving both Jill and Rebecca. While it isn't the fastest time, the game still praised me by saying, "What a tough guy!"

[Pk116]

I beat Super Mario Bros. 3.

It's a lot easier than 2j :)

[VACRMH]

1. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (PS3) 1/1/10
2. Kabuki: Quantum Fighter (NES) 1/6/10

The first time playing this I thought it was too damn hard. But the second attempt was a cakewalk. Pretty cool stuff.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)

This was an interesting game, and it kept me entertained, but it's a pretty mediocre Genesis title in the grand scheme of things and I doubt I would have ever played it had it not been included in the Ultimate Genesis Collection. So, I'm afraid this one doesn't get any sort of recommendation from me.

[pepharytheworm]

I haven't beaten a game so far this year, unless you count me punching my copy of Raiden on the Jaguar. That game is too hard without a turbo button.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)
7. Battle Arena Toshinden (PSOne, 1/7)

I remember having a lot more fun with this game when I was younger, but sadly it just didn't age well. The characters move very slowly and the controls feel very sluggish because of this, and since the game has no story, there's little incentive to play through the game with more than one of the characters, unless you just feel that you have to fight the game's hidden boss, and weren't able to fight him on your first playthrough.

[SPAZ-12]

January 8th: Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PS2)

I really liked this game, it feels pretty close to being a third Ghostbusters movie. I'm not sure if the PS2 version is just a poor port or what though, because the game did feel very unpolished. The cut-scenes often had problems with audio syncing, and some characters didn't have lip-syncing; the game even crashed three or four times during the cut-scenes. All problems aside though, I really enjoyed this one.

[GnawRadar]

New:
2. 1/7 - Shadow Complex (XBOX 360) - This game is amazing. As a big fan of the Metroid series and Castlevania series, I absolutely loved this game. Everything about it was awesome and I look forward to replaying it trying to get 100% of the items.

Old:
1. 1/5 - Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)

[Ravenswood]

1. Final Fantasy Legend III (GB): 1/8
2. Dragon Warrior II (NES): 1/8

[mobiusclimber]

1) Beat Panzer Dragoon Saga a few days ago.

I just started up Lunar 2 (SCD) and I can't decide if I like it or not.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)
7. Battle Arena Toshinden (PSOne, 1/7)
8. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (XBLA, 1/9)

Not much to say here, it's Magic...just on my Xbox, and without all the customization options of the real game. I've enjoyed this one so far, and I plan to continue playing it until I reach 100% completion.

[JunkTheMagicDragon]

1. dead space (medium) - had a lot of fun with this one. way, way better than resident evil 5. i'll def replay later for more cheevos.

[GnawRadar]

New:
3. 1/8 - Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (Wii) - Awesome game. Very fun on rails shooter which explains the events of RE2 and Code: Veronica well while giving some back story on Jack Krauser.

Old:
1. 1/5 - Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)
2. 1/7 - Shadow Complex (XBOX 360)

[portnoyd]

The cut-scenes often had problems with audio syncing, and some characters didn't have lip-syncing; the game even crashed three or four times during the cut-scenes. All problems aside though, I really enjoyed this one.

I'm almost done with the PS3 version and it's not just the PS2 version. Poor lip synching, bugs, dumb teammate AI and load times (even with the 10 minutes installation). I want to praise the game but it's a mess technically.

1. Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) 1/2/10
2. Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS) 1/6/10

Next will be Ghostbusters (PS3) and Torchlight (PC), a game I have been slow simmering for the past 2 months.

[JSoup]

1. Lego Batman

2. E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial

I got a copy of this game for around 10 cents a few years ago. I knew that it was supposed to be one of the worst games of all time, which what made it appealing to me. Thought I might taste a little of gamings history or something. I finally got around to playing it a few hours ago. It was rather charming, but I could see why people were pissed off about it.

[Lucifersam1]

1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (January 12, PS3)
2. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (January 12, Wii)

[Balloon Fight]

1. Panic Restaurant (NES, 1/11)

Really enjoyed this platformer by Taito.

[VG_Maniac]

Halo 3 on Heroic
Mega Man 9 on Hero Mode
Castlevania Adventure Rebirth on Normal
Contra Rebirth on Hard

[PentiumMMX]

Last year, I was a bit busy to really beat many games; having only beaten 18 (A far cry from 2008; where I beat 26 games). With some minor differences this year (Listing the date I beat the game on), I now begin...

#1: FreeCell (PC) [1\12]

...With one that will proabaly look odd among the other games here. After many years of trying, I successfully won a game of FreeCell on Windows. Now, maybe I'll get back to one of the games I left hanging from last year...

[GuyinGA]

01/01: Shadow of the Ninja (NES)
01/01: Contra Rebirth (WiiWare)
01/01: Joe & Mac (SNES)
01/03: Sagaia (Sega Genesis)
01/05: Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin (Sega Genesis)
01/08: The Beatles Rock Band (Xbox 360)
01/08: Time Crisis (Playstation)
01/12: Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth (WiiWare)

[kupomogli]

Dragon Quest 3 on SNES and Brigandine Legend of Forsena

With Dragon Quest, I actually only had to finish off Zoma to finish the game. With Brigandine I played as Norgard again and almost finished off the game in the first year. I finished off the two last countries on month 12, 215, which is still the first year, but then the next month passed and the ending played during month 1, 216.

Anyways. This year I'll list the games I finish alphabetically.

Brigandine
Dragon Quest 3(SNES)

[JSoup]

1. Lego Batman
2. E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial

3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG)

It took many years, the help of a friend and a walkthrough to get me through this hunk of crap. This is blasted as the hardest Sonic game ever created, largely due to twitchy controls, a difficult first boss and imprecise instructions on some of the games mechanics. Once you get past that...it's not really that bad. Interesting level designs and a decent score are present.

[onReload]

1. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
2. Dragon Age: Origins

[portnoyd]

1. Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) 1/2/10
2. Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS) 1/6/10
3. Ghostbusters (PS3) 1/14/10

Ghostbusters was a lot of fun, but dumb teammate AI, bugs and horrific load times dampened the experience. Next up: Uncharted 2.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)
7. Battle Arena Toshinden (PSOne, 1/7)
8. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (XBLA, 1/9)
9. Super Mario World (SNES, 1/14)

Not much I can say about this one that hasn't already been said, it's still a ton of fun to play and is one of my personal favorite Mario games. It didn't take me too long to run through with all 96 exits, but it's still a blast to play and will likely see plenty of play in the future.

[Julio III]

Previously:

1. Real Racing - iPhone

New:

2. I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 - Xbox 360 (Live Indie Games)
Okay, it was easy but it is a full game "completed."

3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - PS3
It took 11 hours, 45 minutes according to my savegame. It may be many people's game of 2009, but whilst I enjoyed it (a lot) I wouldn't rate it that highly. It is far far far too linear and has many bad videogame faults in it. Not sure whether to play the first Uncharted now though...

[Raedon]

Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core (PSP)

[Julio III]

1. Real Racing - iPhone
2. I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 - Xbox 360 (Live Indie Games)
3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - PS3

4. Rez HD - Xbox 360 (Live Arcade)

I've been meaning to pick this up ever since I got an Xbox because I love the original on the Dreamcast. Well, this one was fantastic too! Look forward to unlocking new things and getting the achievements. If I remember correctly, these "Tera" forms of the bosses are new??

[GOLDEN KEYS]

Sega Master System -

Donald Duck in Deep Duck Trouble

Mickey Mouse in Land of Illusion

[bigred5687]

Legend of Zelda, The: A Link To the Past

[Night Driver]

I finally got an XBOX 360, so I just got around to playing through Halo 3.

Relative to the previous installments, the FPS aspects felt watered down. However, the vehicle combat was improved. The overall story arc was OK, but it wasn't well plotted.

My expectations were sky-high, so slightly disappointing overall. Still, an immensely entertaining game.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)

5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)
7. Battle Arena Toshinden (PSOne, 1/7)
8. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (XBLA, 1/9)
9. Super Mario World (SNES, 1/14)
10. Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 5: 8-bit Is Enough (PC, 1/15)

Got this for free from TTG's website a couple of days ago and it was pretty fun. It had been some time since I last played a point and click adventure game. I may look into the rest of the series at some point and maybe some other games by TTG to see how they are.

[JunkTheMagicDragon]

1. dead space (medium) - 1/11
2. 50 cent: blood on the sand (hard) - 1/17 - i had a lot of fun with this one. the competent third-person shooting combined with the points system and the self-aware sense of humor made for good times.

[heybtbm]

Finally beat Halo ODST this afternoon. I would've finished it months ago (I picked it up the day it came out) but was distracted by many firefight sessions with friends and determined to do it on Legendary the 1st time through. Done and done.

[wfnjstallion]

#1 of the New Year
1) F.E.A.R. finally beat it after taking some time off had to be the freakiest last 5 mins of any video game I ever played. Off to watch a comedy.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)

10. Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 5: 8-bit Is Enough (PC, 1/15)
11. Fatal Fury (PS2, 1/17)

I was surprised not only by how well this game had aged, but also by the fact that I still enjoyed playing it. It's definetly aged a lot better than many other fighters out there, and I'm glad to have picked up the FF Battle Achives so I can have an arcade port at my finger tips. It's a great game and was well done not only for it's time, but also for the fact that it was SNK's first fighting game.

1. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
2. Dragon Age: Origins
3. The King of Fighters '99

[ssjlance]

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!! - 1/17/10

Technically, I've beaten it before, but I just now finally beat the entire game from Glass Joe all the way through Tyson without losing a single match. I only got knocked down once the whole time, 27 seconds into the Tyson fight. Damn dynamite punches....

[fahlim003]

I just beat The Legend of Zelda The Oracle of Ages. Not bad but really annoying at times with too much inane trading going on. Consequently, I used a guide to complete the trading game required to get the Noble Sword but that's it. Otherwise, I found the game a real chore, especially since warps were sorely lacking when coming from the obvious design idea from Link's Awakening. I only found dungeon 7 to be specifically annoying frustrating but on the whole, it feels weak in comparison to Link's Awakening. This is surprising considering how many years after LA these Oracle games come out. I haven't tried Seasons, which I'll do shortly but I wonder if it's any better.

In the end, I don't blame Capcom for the problems this game has but rather Nintendo for outsourcing and subsequently being 'lazy'. Had Nintendo simply taken the reigns this game could've been a lot more enjoyable and a lot less like a mystery grind vague fest, so I assume.

I just beat Tekken 6. Not too hard but this was the first time I've ever played it since there were no arcade versions to prep on.

[JunkTheMagicDragon]

1. dead space (medium) - 1/11
2. 50 cent: blood on the sand (hard) - 1/17
3. strong bad's cool game for attractive people episode 5: 8-bit is enough - 1/17 - the humor dragged in spots, but there was some genuinely funny stuff in here. still suffers from the common flaws of adventure games as a whole, but i can't really fault a free game too much.

[SEGA_Queen]

So far I've completed:

Tomba! (PS1) - Late last year, I got all the way to the point where you have to locate seven friends to open up the door to the final boss. I decided to finish off the game another day. Well, thanks to busyness of Christmas, "another day" turned into "next year"!

Drawn to Life (DS) - I wanted to finish the main story of this game before I played the sequel, so I cheated and used the invincibility code to plow through the game.

[VG_Maniac]

Finished Ghostbusters (Xbox 360 version) yesterday on experienced.

[Mason P.]

Just beat Uncharted 2

[Phaneuf]

Castlevania: SOTN (PS1)
Braid (PSN)

[JSoup]

1. Lego Batman
2. E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG)

4. Sonic Spinball (Genesis, Mega Collection)

I blame this game for introducing rock music into the Sonic series (not that it's a bad thing). Game play is all wonky strange. Has these strange difficulty spikes at random parts. Really doesn't strike me as a good idea to have goal based platformer mixed with a pinball game.
