I just beat and thoroughly enjoyed Actraiser. Maybe I should finally finish Soul Blazer now.

Finally played some more Tales of Eternia today. I'll beat it someday.

I bought myself Assassin's Creed for my birthday and I've been playing that, or more like I've been playing tutorial after tutorial after tutorial.

I'm playing the crap out of Dino Run. I think it may be one of the most beautiful games ever.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is fun in a vapid, empty sort of way.

I just fought The Vulture in Spider-man: Web of Shadows. It was pretty much the coolest boss fight ever.

Yes! Like 20 mind controlled swords he's shooting at you while you are trying to beat his old face in a mile above the ocean a mile out from the New York Coast line.

I've only got it until Wednesday night and I'm going to be really busy tomorrow, so I want to know how much of the game I'm going to see and how much is left. I just started hunting Venom pods.

Ok. I guess I'll pick it up the next time I'm there. Speaking of Flashback, the very first time I went to that store I found and bought Fade to Black.

I'm kicking myself for not getting around to playing any MGS 2 today. It's not everyday that an opportunity like this presents itself, and finals just had to go and get in the way.

I just played a little Sam & Max Season one. I am disheartened because Sam's actor doesn't display the unbridled enthusiasm that the old cartoon's actor had. This Sam sounds bored.

I'm playing the AGDInteractive remake of Quest for Glory 2, and I must say, when you really get into the combat and are fighting 5 guys at once, this game just might have the best representation of sword fighting in any game. Like, I'll have a dude in front of me and one on either side. I'll use my shield to block the guy on my left, parry a thrust from the guy on the right then turn it into a slash against the guy in front, kick the guy on my leftblock and counterattack the guy in front and then kick the guy on the right, all in the space of about 2 seconds. It's fantastic.

I'm playing the original Breath of Fire right now. I'm a little bored but I haven't even filled out a 4 man team yet, so I'm giving it a shot.

Spider-man and the X-men: Arcade's Revenge is such a bad game with such a great title theme.

I finished Quest for Glory 2 and moved on to 3 yesterday. Actually playing 2's remake was really fun, but there was an enormous amount of down time in the game where you would have to wait around several long in game days before you could do anything. Alternatively, days pass by lightning fast in QfG 3, but your character moves around super slowly and the battles are horrible.

I wish I was playing an Age of Mythologies 2 or even just a further expansion of the original.

Just beat Onimusha. I really enjoyed it. It's a real shame I didn't play it 5 years ago.

Started playing Shinobi. It's amazing that the further I get from Sonic Team the more respect I have for Sega. I just wish they would have thrown a few check points around.

Going through the underlings to line up power hits on the bosses is immensely satisfying. I just beat 4-b and I haven't come across anything yet that was anything near as frustratingly difficult as the boss of 1-b was.

Stage 6 of Shinobi is pissing me off.

I finished Devil May Cry 2 earlier. I thought it was mediocre all around and failed to do anything interesting with the concepts of the first game.

After I finished that I started Onimusha 2, and so far, I'm thinking this is the complete opposite. Playing this game for an hour and a half makes me think of the first as a tech demo that they ran with and expanded to make this groovy sequel. I'm kind of new to the whole Onimusha series. What's the official Capcom stance on continuing the series on the current gen consoles? Has there been any word on it?

I just finished Onimusha 2. I was planning on getting DMC 3 next, but now I reel like skipping it and going straight for Onimusha 3.

Yeah the gift/friendship system was a little obtuse, but I figure they through it in to answer any complaints of shortness/ lack of much replay value from the first one. I found a guide on gamefaqs that showed who liked what gift, but not how to get them all, and since I was coming in fresh without any idea of how the story would progress I figured I'd just try to find everything I can and giving everything to whoever likes it and see who I end up with. I got Oyu so I saw a lot of her story and some scenes with Kotaro, but basically nothing with Magoichi and Ekei. If/when I eventually come back to it I'll try to dote on Magoichi to see that side of the story.

I just started playing 3. Is it just me or does everything seem smaller and lighter. I really liked the weightyness and clunkyness of the first two, but that seems to be gone. I also got the Onimusha artbook today. It's kind of cool.

Also, I bought Perfect Dark for 25 cents at a Hollywood Video. The cashier woman was flabbergasted that I had still had a Nintendo 64.

I can't get into Onimusha 3 nearly as easily as I did with 1 and 2. I think it's because you alternate so quickly between the two characters. As soon as I'm starting to get into one of them, I come to the end of the very short "level" and am made to play with the other character.

I stayed at a friend's house this weekend and he had BlazBlue. He told me about the guy that has a super move that makes him turn gold, makes him dash, and play a rocking theme song. We played a couple of matches and I pretty much only played as Bang and did that super.

For the last week and a half I've had an old friend staying with me. We thought we were going to be more permanent roommates but he had to leave today. For the last few days, we've been honing our Contra 3 the Alien Wars (Virtual Console) skills. Today, the last thing we did together before he had to leave, was finally beat it. Probably our biggest and longest running sticking point was the level 5 boss. I can't help but think if I wasn't using an old busted up Mad Catz Gamecube controller I would have performed slightly better. Each and every time we played that game was an adrenaline rush.

I beat Castlevania Bloodlines with Eric. Maybe I'll try to do it with John now.

Renfrew · Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 3:05 am

Today, I finally came to the end of the journey that started in the small game room of the local Pizza Inn about 18 years ago. Today, I finally beat the original Castlevania. I've gotten to Dracula before, but this was the first time I successfully sent this iteration back to hell.
