I dont get it either I beat Mega Man anniversary in a week and have so much trouble with 9 and 10?
I got all achievements (Mr. Perfect!) in both. They're not that bad. :wink:

:roll:
Yeah, I got the achievement for beating all bosses with only the Mega Buster my first time through. I don't know what's giving you such a hard time.

I just got Okami! It plays very well, and I absolutely LOVE the art direction/visuals etc.

Before getting pulled into the games I'll be getting for Christmas today, I played a little bit of the following recently:

Sonic Generations
Hard Corps Uprising
Shank

I've played Shank before on the 360, but not all of it. This week however, I've gotten all the way to the end boss on the PS 3 version. It's a fun little 2d brawler, but the combat is kind of shallow and the game gets really cheap and annoying as you get near the end. It's better than Scott Pilgrim, which I view as the bottom of the barrel of PSN/Xbox Arcade beat'em ups, but not in the same upper class as Castle Crashers and The Dishwasher Vampire Smile, which are the gold standard for PSN/Xbox Arcade 2d beat'em ups

Sonic Generations seems like everything I could want in a modern Sonic game. The 2d stages have that classic Sonic gameplay with proper jump mechanics and physics, and the 3D stages feel like a nice, modern take on the style of gameplay Sonic Adventure started. Job well done Sega, bonus points for having an option for japanese dialog and subtitles. That makes the story bits more tolerable. Sonic Generations feels classy and polished

Hard Corps Uprising feels like a proper Contra game, but with a more anime aesthetic. I LOVE playing a Contra game with an upgrade system. That's pretty cool

SSX 3
PGR 2
Rallisport Challenge 2

I didn't know I had this racing fanatic in me, played these lately more than anything in couple years.

Also playing Halo first time. I think it's very average FPS, but the sci-fi setting draws me to it.

I found out recently there is a Christmas Seaman on the Dreamcast. I wonder what that's like.

Finished as far as I'm gonna go until an expansion on Skyrim. Did the 2 main-quests and all the faction questlines. So after a little bit of a break, I'm ready to move on to my newly acquired copy of Record of Lodoss War for Dreamcast. Great anime-inspired action-RPG with Diablo-like gameplay, and great-looking cutscenes for the Dreamcast.

I really need to play my copy of this sometime. Ack seemed to really enjoy this game. I know I played a small portion of it once and it did seem pretty cool

Flip flopping between various 360 games. I'm not sure what to get next. I have a few I'm interested in on Gamecube, some on 360, some on N64, and a ton on Gameboy. (My pathetic 6 Gameboy advance games, some of which I do not like, is currently not cutting it.) What do you guys suggest?

At the moment, I'm going to play Octodad and Skyrim. I'm trying a two handed Nord warrior named Fenris.
Systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, N64, Gamecube, Xbox 360

WTB: Boxes for a silver Gamecube System(and a hyperport cover), and a box for an Ice Blue N64 console. Will pay 7.50 for each and shipping.
