Beaten in 2011

1. Sonic Chronicles

Had it sitting near the end for ages and decided to blast through the last 3 chapters yesterday and today. A decent game. The battle mechanics needed fine tuning, and the random spikes in difficulty were annoying.

The writing was spot-on though and had me laughing a few times. I expected more but look forward to the implied sequel.

1. Solatorobo: Sore kara CODA e (DS) 1/3
2. Pokemon Snap (N64) 1/4

This one I also started prior to 2011. I wasn't planning on playing it to completion just yet, but when I found out that it only had 63 Pokemon in the game, I figured I may as well finish it off.

1. Paper Mario 64 (1/4/2011)

Just as awesome as I remembered it being. Finally got to play it all the way through in two sittings.

[Nionel]

1. Sonic Colors (Wii, 1/1)
2. Castlevania Chronicles (PS1, 1/2)
3. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (Wii, 1/3)
4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (GC, 1/4)
5. Doritos: Crash Course (XBLA, 1/4)

The first of the free XBLA titles that was released last month, this game was acutally pretty fun for a free advergame. The courses feature some nice platforming bits, especially as you get later in the game, and while the game can be beaten in less than 30 minutes, it's fifteen courses wlll likely have me coming back to try and best some of my old times. A definite step up from Dash of Destruction, and I feel I can actually recommend this one, especially since it's a free download.

2. Skate 3 (360)

Beat this on release day on the PS3 last year. Beat it again on the 360, since it's my favorite new IP this gen. Skate 2 is still the best though.

House of the Dead Overkill - Story Mode/Directors Cut
New Super Mario Bros. Wii

[Nionel]

1. Sonic Colors (Wii, 1/1)
2. Castlevania Chronicles (PS1, 1/2)
3. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (Wii, 1/3)
4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (GC, 1/4)
5. Doritos: Crash Course (XBLA, 1/4)
6. Donkey Kong Land (GB, 1/5)

A pretty entertaining spin-off of Donkey Kong Country, this had some entertaining levels, but also had some very frustrating parts due, in large part, to the controls just not being as tight as they could have been. I also noticed a number of graphical hiccups through out the game, and I wasn't sure if this was due to the game pushing the hardware or just the product of a rushed game. Either way, it was worth a playthrough and I'm looking forward to seeing if its sequel fares any better.

1. Sonic Chronicles

2. Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Another one I've had sitting near the end for ages. Good game, had me laughing with its humour. The pipes as a instrument were cool, but could get get very frustrating at times. Not enough side quests, and they were nearly all 'fetch item/person to X destination'. Needed more variance.

I liked the train... very picturesque when travelling but it did take too long to get anywhere. They should have added a faster gauge(?) option as an upgrade halfway through the game. Also the train parts were far more of an effort to obtain than the ship parts in PH.

I think the next original handheld Zelda should use a mix of touch and button controls.

So far in 2011 Digger HD and Dragon's Lair on PSN, though anybody could beat those two.

Last game I beat in 2010 was Sly 2, with a Platinum trophy.

[PentiumMMX]

Last time, I beat 24 games; much more than the year before it, and with plenty of new games on the list. Now, carrying over the format from last year, I get the ball rolling...

#1: Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? [Flonne's Castle beaten] (PSP) [1\7]

With my copy of Prinny 2 on it's way, I decided to revisit the first one to beat one of the two DLC stages I bought (The other one being Lil' Asagi Comes Home; a stage that will kick your ass and leave you to die). Compared to some of the stages from late into the main story, Flonne's Castle was not too tough; there where a few tricky parts in the stage and the boss fight was mildly irritating, but it wasn't anything that would make you want to snap the disc in half.

Now, I'll probably get back to one of the games I'm currently playing; it won't be too tough for me to finish Tails' side of Sonic Adventure, so that'll be next up...unless I decide to dust off my old copy of Super Mario Land for some kind of challenge run.

3. DJ Hero 2 (360)

Bought this game on New Year's Eve. After winning the DJ Hero tournament at Midwest Gaming Classic last year, I figured it's about time I finally bought one of the games in the series.

DJ Hero 1 = a couple of really good songs, a lot of bad ones
DJ Hero 2 = a few GREAT songs, a lot of good songs, a couple bad ones

1. Wonder Boy in Monster World (Mega Drive)
2. Monster World IV (Mega Drive)

Mother 3 (GBA)

Sad thing is that I started it around a year ago

[Holger Czukay]

4. X-Men Arcade

This is so damn easy I'm not sure it even counts, but I ran through it with a friend and picked up the last 3 achievements I need, so it's my first completion of 2011. X-MEN X-MEN! ALAS, THAT WAS MYSTIQUE, NOT MAGNETO.

Jan. 5th - Dead Space (on Impossible difficulty).

[Midaha]

Hi guys,

New to the forum and this is my first post! So be kind!

Games completed so far -

1. X-Men Arcade (Xbox 360, 4/1)
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (ipod Touch, 6/1)
3. Mirrors Edge (ipod Touch, 7/1)
3. Family Guy: Time Warped (ipod Touch, 9/1)

Admittedly, all rather easy games to get through although Sonic did have some frustrating moments!!

I've only just discovered gaming via a newly purchased ipod - the games are cheap and convenient and it compensates for the times when I don't get chance to play on my consoles.

Just finished FF3 (famicom)

Not bad for starting it over the summer. I will say this though: It's not that difficult so long as you never run from fights. The last six bosses died in 2 rounds or less each.

[Nionel]

1. Sonic Colors (Wii, 1/1)
2. Castlevania Chronicles (PS1, 1/2)
3. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (Wii, 1/3)
4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (GC, 1/4)
5. Doritos: Crash Course (XBLA, 1/4)
6. Donkey Kong Land (GB, 1/5)
7. Klonoa (Wii, 1/10)

This one was short, but sweet. It's a fun little platformer and well worth the price of admission, some of the platforming got a little tough toward the end and the story was pretty weak, but overall this is a great game and easily recommended. The game is also fairly inexpensive, which is always a plus.
