Just a few shmups to add to the list, both of which are excellent. No 1CCs with these, but I wasn't really credit feeding like a fiend either.

I started and stopped a good many games since my last update a few weeks ago, but got tired of Nights, bored with Burning Rangers, fed up with Abe's Oddysee, and killed repeatedly in Last Hope and Cannon Spike. I plan to go back to those last two soon. I've also been trying to beat Castle Shikigami III and have been putting off Sin and Punishment 1 and 2 until I finish it - so those might make an appearance soon. I've been playing a few racing games that I have had fun with but haven't really tried to beat - Ridge Racer PSP and Sonic's Sega All-Stars come to mind. So, lots of irons in the furnace, but most of them I have been unable to conquer.

Anyway, school starts this week and I suspect the game playing will slow down for a bit as I have a lot of work ahead of me this semester...100 for the year is looking more doubtful.

Wii. I can actually get through the first two levels (1-1 through 2-2) without dying at all, but the obstacles on 3-1 are ridiculous and kill me every time. After that I can manage ok, but usually am so decimated by 3-1 (and to a lesser extent 3-2) that I can't make it past 5-1. I am playing with Reika (Time Gal) who has some awesome firepower, but I wonder if 3-1 would be easier with a different character who has a special better suited to the mazes...

I know that eventually it is supposed to unlock unlimited credits, but I have played a ton and that has not happened at all. Which is a good thing, actually.

Spoilers:



Super Joker was incredibly disappointing. For a game that is so well written, the writers really came up short for the final boss. All I could keep thinking while fighting him was how much he reminded me of super Shredder from TMNT 2. They even have similar "deaths".

Probably my favorite part of the game was seeing batman see himself eat a rat. Classic funny.
