Going with tradition and starting a new thread for the New Year. What games have you beaten in 2008?
Going with tradition and starting a new thread for the New Year. What games have you beaten in 2008?
I am a collector of the classics (Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, 3DO, Saturn, etc.)
#1 Dark cloud
I never finished it the first time around because DC 2 was SO much better but I finally finished it this afternoon

I beat EVO: The Search For Eden last night, but I was close to the end saved already.
#1 - Dark Forces (PC)
Pretty neat little evolution of the sector-based FPS engines, but the level designs are hit and miss. Some are pretty ingenious (especially for the era), while others turn into tedious pains in the ass (notably: Level 4 when you don't know about entering codes). Also, the water temple in Ocarina of Time doesn't have shit on level 6 of Dark Forces
Shame there's no mid-level saving, because it makes some of the longer levels draaaaaaag out.
Still, it's a fun little trip down nostalgia lane. Probably should have played before I went on my Duke Nukem 3D binge, but all the same there was some good fun to be had.
Next up: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
edit - for anyone interested in using the mouse to turn in DOSbox, be sure to set your sensitivity to 150-200 in dosbox.conf, otherwise it's way too slow ingame.

Oklahoma DP Roll Call!
#1 Baldur's Gate (including the Tales of the Sword Coast add-on). I finally finished slaughtering the werewolves and went to see Sarevok, who stood no chance against my couple of dozen summoned creatures, hahaha.
I'm currently installing Icewind Dale plus add-on right now, so more RPG goodness is on its way

#1 Cobra The Space Adventure (Sega CD)
#2 Metal Slug 3 (XBLA)
I finally got around to finishing NINJA MASTER'S, on three credits.
My list thus far....
1-Final Fantasy for the PSP. (Excluding only the Labyrinth of Time, I beat every level.)
The year's still young.
Gimmie a game, I'll either love it, or pimp-smack it.
1. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (wii)
Trying my hand at finishing a game a day... not a resolution, just a challenge. So some of them will be games I've already beaten, some are brutally easy, some I will have to beat again in the year, and some just take a little time.
Jan 1 - NES Adventures in the Magic Kingdom - finished it many times before, just needed to get on track.
Jan 2 - NES Tetris B-game, Speed-9, Height-5... that's the toughest setting of the game.
Of course, this challenge will fail miserably very quickly since I'm moving on the 7th, and travelling to both L.A. and Florida before the end of the month... I simply won't have enough time or Gameboy games to take care of it everyday.
Just finished Ratchet And Clank Tools Of Destruction PS3.....(my vote for GOTY btw).....not once, but THREE TIMES and have just started my fourth. For those of you who are playing it....each and every time that you play it consecutively on Challenge Mode AFTER initially playing it on normal, the game keeps changing in small ways. They add one more new Omega weapon with every restart as well. Absolute mayhem ensues. Best game in years.
#1: Ninja Gaiden Black
I'm so happy this one is done, it's been haunting me for the longest time.
I am currently working on:
-PSP Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions
-360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance
-DS Impossible Mission
Those should keep me busy for a while.
2. Contra 4 (DS) On Easy & Normal difficulty
1. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (wii)
1) Actraiser (SNES) - Took a break from my new 360 (Bioshock and Symphony of the Night) to finish the last bit of Actraiser. I was a bit disappointed that the end just relied on the platformer boss fights; it would have been nice to have a final city to build or something. Still, a great game.
Somehow I have put off playing Gunstar Heroes (which I've wanted for years, and finally got) in favor of Bioshock. Holy crap, what a treat Bioshock is. Take the best from System Shock, Deus Ex, and Psi-Ops and wrap it in a beautiful package.
#1 - The Legend of Zelda.
I had never actually beat it before. Figure it's a good way to start the year out.
Here's my feedback thread: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show...ht=FantasiaWHT
#2 Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Enjoyed it and now to play Twilight princess soon

Jan 3 - Contra - without the super cheat code. It was looking kind of sketchy when Level 7 got me down to 2 lives, but I had built up a few extra lives from not dying on Levels 5 or 6.
1.) Hyperzone-snes
2.) Qbert 3-snes
3.) Joe & MAc- Snes
I beat New Super Mario Bros., 2 Stars. Very rewarding experience.
Next up: Phoenix Wright: AJfA, and Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland.
