So far, I haven't finished any game in 2012, but I am almost done with Chrono Trigger DS and I'm advancing well into Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. At this point, I dunno which of the two I'll finish first, but one of my resolutions for this year is to track down all the games I finish.
So far -
11/01/2012 - Sonic Generations (360)
17/01/2012 - iball (Xperia Play)
I never thought I would see the day that I actually completed iball - I first started playing it around 20 years ago! Tough game. I couldn't have done it without saving plus I got lucky with the electro shield in the final level. The game really doesn't want you to beat it. I never got rainbow ripple though...
1. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I (XBLA, 1/1)
2. Secret of Mana (SNES, 1/5)
3. Kirby's Dream Land (3DS VC, 1/11)
4. Final Fantasy III (SNES, 1/18)
Yet another Square classic, this is by far my favorite in the series and one of my top games on both SNES and of all time. It was a joy to play this again as I haven't played the game since the GBA version was releases years ago. 5/5
Rokko Chan (PC) 8/10
Abobo's Big Adventure (PC) 4/10
MM IV (GB) 7/10
MM V (GB) 7.5/10
MM1 (NES) 7/10
Donkey Kong (GB) 8.5/10
MM3 (NES) 8/10
Just completed Metroid Prime 2 Echoes on GameCube. First time clearing so normal difficulty, 95% scans, 89% items (missing 2 energy tanks, 2 power bomb expansions, and 7 missile expansions) in 23:03. It's a strange game and one which gets better as it goes along. Perhaps that could be said of all Metroids but still it's worth mentioning. Once I got into the groove it was easy going up until the end. I'm not crazy about the key fetch business but it's something different and not horribly tedious. In comparison to Metroid Prime, the end battles might be easier in this one. Still, I enjoyed it and will go back to hard mode one day.
Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!
9,000 gigs of ram and it still can't answer a simple question!
Just finished Insecticide for the DS.
That was an awesome game. Although it was rough around the edges and had some questionable collision detection, I loved its characters and the hard boiled detective atmosphere. It would make an awesome cartoon.
I like the variety of game play. Every other stage is an action stage and the in between stages are done like classic point and click adventure games. I'd like to eventually try the PC version, as it supposed to be the definitive version, too bad the last part of the game was never released leaving the DS version the only complete version.
If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
Just beat Halo: CE Anniversary. Can't believe it's taken me 3 weeks into the year to beat my first game of 2012. Very soon I will be adding Resistance to the list.

Manic Miner -yet more old Skool gaming!! I finished this a few days ago. Once again couldn't have done it without saving. Does that count as cheating?! Insanely difficult at times but once you know what to do in a level it does become that bit easier. 2nd to last level was a nightmare though. I enjoyed it and have done for over 20 years!!

Air Zonk. . . That's it.
And now it's added as my first PS3 game ever beaten. Thats kind of sad considering I've had a PS3 system for nearly a year. Anyway, I really liked this game overall. They could have been a little more giving to the automatic checkpoints but I loved the short brief mission structer as opposed to the large sprawling missions that can sometimes take 1-2 hours to finish. One thing that sucked was I actually got stuck between a ramp and....um, a rock at the second to last part of the game. No big deal, just weird.
The reason this game was as playable as it was can be sumed up in two parts. First, I used a third party controller that mimics the 360 analog stick set up. Playing fps games with the normal dualshock 3 is a burden to most people who are use to the 360 controller set up, including myself. And second, Resistance allows you to completely customize your controls. This was a Paul send and made the controls as perfect as they could get for a fps game on the PS3. I didn't really know the specifics of what was going on storywise in the early part of the game but as the missions went on I became more interested. I can't wait to tackle Resistance 2 but up next on my PS3 playlist is Uncharted 1 and for that I will use the regular dualshock 3.

This was a great stroll down memory lane, and at five dollars the game is an absolute steal. The game looks good in Widescreen/HD and I'm planning on spending plenty of time with it in the future.

Initially, I wasn't really impressed. As the game went on, I started to like it more and more. Sorta like the first game, now I think about it. Worth a playthrough for fans of the first game. They solved a lot of the issues the first one had, although this game is a tad harder.
Finished Saint's Row: The Third last night with 100% completion. Still have a few achievements left, but those can wait. I have no desire to run around the map for another 12 hours waiting for phone missions to trickle in. Life is too short. Otherwise, another fun open-world game. Not the best of this generation, but definitely the best of the series.

7. Phantasy Star II
On one hand, it's much more playable than the first Phantasy Star, with better music and visuals. On the other hand. On the other hand, holy crap the grind is massive. I've been told that this is regarded as the worst game in the series, but I don't think it's that bad. It needs help, yes, but it's still a rather nice game.
