Beaten in 2010

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.

#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.

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.

2. Dragon Age: Origins
3. The King of Fighters '99

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....

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.

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.

1. Super Mario World (SNES)
2. Outrun (SMS)
3. Uninvited (NES)

[heybtbm]

Finished Halo 2 tonight. I bought it a month or so after it came out and came close to beating it but never did. I decided to pound out the last few levels tonight and was surprised how close I was to the end. Not sure why it took me 5 years to do it.

[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)
10. Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 5: 8-bit Is Enough (PC, 1/15)
11. Fatal Fury (PS2, 1/17)
12. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (SNES, 1/19)

This is another game from my childhood that I still enjoy to this day, it had been years since I had played it last and I had forgotten just how short it was, and compaired to Ys and Ys II it's also no where near as hard. Since this was the game that introduced me to this series it was nice to go back and play, and it makes me want to look into some of the other games in the series, thankfully they decided to return to the original style with Ys IV.

[Dirkfunk]

Over the last few days I finished:

Mega Man: The Wily Wars (all three games and The Wily Tower)
Assassin's Creed II (X360)
Double Dragon (Genesis)
Rambo III (Genesis)

I had never finished any of these before, and except for AC II, I'd had them all for quite some time.

I might try something a little more lengthy next.

[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)
10. Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 5: 8-bit Is Enough (PC, 1/15)
11. Fatal Fury (PS2, 1/17)
12. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (SNES, 1/19)
13. Fatal Fury 2 (PS2, 1/20)

Man, this game was frustating. The controls felt sluggish and the AI was insanely cheap. I still managed to work my way through after playing it for about two hours straight. I don't think this one will see much play in the future, much like Toshinden, since it lacks any kind of story there is no real reason to go back to it.

Already beaten:

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

New to list:

#2: MRC: Multi-Racing Championship (Nintendo 64) [1\17]

Since I sold my copy of it off ages ago, I decided to revisit the game by setting up an emulator; plowing throuth it in a single sitting. It's still a pretty good game, but it does get tiresome (Hence why I sold my copy after beating it 100%; with only 3 tracks, there's not much replay value in it).
