Games Beaten: 2010

[wakeup]

Just finished Ico first time today- such a fine game. Reminds me of the story telling of several Taiwanese films- slow, little dialogue, symbolic with beautiful camera angles (in this case, graphics and art direction). Just a calm and peaceful little game

The Skull Enemies can be taken out with either the shot gun or a blow up an oil canister. The body armor zombies should be shot from the side or else the bullets just bounce off (the opposite of the clown zombie which must be shot head on).

Yeah, i tended to shotgun the skulls, but the armoured zombies the bulelts would often bounce off of even when i did shoot them in the side.

  *NEW*Half-Life 2: Lost Cost (PC Download) Fun little romp. Nothing to write home about though.
  *NEW*Mega Man 10 (WiiWare) SOOOO much fun. Managed to get to wily 4 before I had to use any tanks. Didn't use the shop at all. Now I am playing it on easy to unlock the easy boss challenges. I'll do Hard when Bass comes out.
  *NEW*Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (DS) I started playing this while on the toilet, and I would find myself sitting there for 40 mins after I was done. A couple bugs here and there but otherwise a very addictive game. Finished all the side quest too.

Total count: 11

Halo 2. What a let down of an ending.
My favorite part about the ending was a guy giving a shot out to Starbucks
Glad to be done with it.

I just beat Dragon Age: Origins, and I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite games of all time now. It took me 50+ hours over the span of about four months, but it was well worth it. I loved every second I spent playing this game, and Bioware did such a great job of creating a complete world and story for it.

If this were a few years ago when I had the time to play games whenever I wanted to, this one would have been beat in under a week!

Awesome. Did the archdemon give you difficulty?

Now you're ready to start Awakenings later this week

He killed my rogue once during the battle, but luckily I brought Wynne with me so I could revive him. By the end of the fight I didn't have any healing items left and Alistair and Morrigan were both just about done for. I did end up beating him the first try, but it definitely wasn't easy, and I wasn't looking forward to trying again if he did take me out!

As far as Awakening goes, as soon as I finished Dragon Age: Origins I actually pre-ordered it from Amazon with release date delivery.

I may start Mass Effect 2 today. Part of me wants to try something less epic in scale, like maybe Bioshock 2, but I've been waiting for ME2 for so long that I will probably just jump right into it.

I didn't backread through all the pages to see if you posted any, but what are your thoughts on Soul Calibur IV after beating it?

Love Soul Calibur, I only really enjoyed 2 on the GC, and 3 didn't do much for me. I guess just diminishing returns for me, but have been thinking about picking up SC IV.
