Today I played Halo 4, Happy Wars, Moddern Warfare 3 and Gotham City Imposters. I guess I really felt like shooting people in the head.

On PS2 I'm playing Half-Life: Decay with a friend, and I also just started on the original Kingdom Hearts. ^^
Today I'm playing through a Falcom classic: Dragon Slayer: legend of heroes
and the Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
I've been playing alot of Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 as my new years resolution game. I also have been puttting a healthy amount of time into Happy Wars and Halo 4 to collect the few missing achievements I need.

This is probably the only time you guys will see me talking about playing through a PC game (outside of very rarely playing something via emulation) since I'm not a PC gamer at all. For Giana Sisters, though, I'm willing to make an exception. Back when the Kickstarter was going, I probably wouldn't have bothered contributing had it already met its goal and had it been announced that it would eventually come to XBL and PSN. Of course, that announcement couldn't have come then, so I just went ahead and settled with the PC version since, as far as I knew then, that may have been the only release and the only way to get a physical copy. So far I've played through the first three stages, and it's pretty fun.
I'm up to stage 3-3 in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for PC, which is something like 15 stages into the game, with around 8 stages remaining, I believe (there are only three worlds). I've only perfected the first 3 or so stages, though, so I've still got plenty more to do in the levels I've cleared. I'm really enjoying the game so far. It's got very clever level designs, plenty of challenge, and well-hidden secrets and sections that are almost like puzzles. It feels very much like an ode to classic games and their fans. I'd highly recommend it to anybody on here who still loves 8-bit and 16-bit platformers like me. Forget stuff like New Super Mario Bros. with its sloppy controls and pandering difficulty, Giana Sisters is way more of an homage to the classic games we love, and unlike a lot of the modern Nintendo offerings, it doesn't feel derivative despite its inspirations. It still feels very fresh and creative. If I had to pick a single game that it reminds me of, I'd go with Donkey Kong Country 2. The tag-team switching back and forth between characters, the twirl like Dixie's spin, the charge like Diddy's cartwheel, the healthy challenge, the controls that strike a nice balance between tightness and fluidity, heck, even the music reminds me a tiny bit of DKC2 at times. But I also detect some Mario, Sonic, Castlevania, and, of course, classic Giana Sisters in here. And it plays quite nice with a SNES controller.
Since I recently got a Sega Genesis I've been playing Castlevania Bloodlines and Streets Of Rage 1 2 and 3. Love them very very much! Also super into dragon's fury and revenge. Awesome stuff for sure!
