Well, in X4 there is really just the one. You find pieces of it in the jungle, volcano, air force, and internet levels.

The second is just a ubered up version of the same that you unlock with a code.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

is there a power-up that makes yr lifeline longer? I could use that.

Maybe I need more powerups? I can get to the 2nd Sigma battle, and always ALMOST win but....

No problem! I'm glad you beat him. :D

There are 8 heart containers that extend your life, one for each level. There are 2 reserve tanks.

I finished Half-Life 2: Episode 1 tonight, so I'm thinking its time to move on to Episode 2, and officially start my Summer Game Challenge. I was going to take a break from the Half-Life games and start up Dragon Age II, but from what I hear HL2E2 is a short game anyway.

I got my airship and class change in Final Fantasy tonight as well, and I'm pretty sure that means I'm at least half way through. Final Fantasy II awaits!

Anyone know how long Breath of Fire III takes? I reckon I'm still at the very beginning, but still I'd like to know how fast I should run through this.

ok, I can make it up to final Sigma now in MMX4. But fuckoff man. I have to do all 3 Sigmas over if I die? I have to do the whole boss rush over if I want to try again later? :?

That's par for course for 8 out of 8 games in the Mega Man X series.

mmm. It's been a long time since I beat X1, but I don't remember the end being so brutal. But then again, I think in X1 I had every power-up by the end. So. Yeah.

Didnt have access to Mario Sunshine and had some gaming time so I started up some FFXII. Its the game I expect to enjoy the least so I figured I'd get it out of the way. I really like the setting/atmosphere/story so far. The battle and levelling systems..... not so much. The battle system has improved a bit now with more members in my party, but its still very frusterating. As I get more used to it I am doing better, but not enjoying it any more. I'm a bit over 4 hours in so far. Looking forward to seeing how things unfold though.
