Snickerd00dle's Summer Challenge 2012 - how is it going?

[noiseredux]

Have you played Dark Corners of the Earth? It's not the greatest game, but it has its moments.

not yet, but I do plan to grab the XB version.

Finished going through Sylvan Cave. After a bit of grinding it was a hell of a lot easier to get through. My very first run-though was a little harsh.

Now it's a toss-up whether I continue on with the story or head to the Cave of Summons I found a little south of me

[alienjesus]

I'd recommend the latter.

[Michi]

Really? Cave of Summons it is then

EDIT: Made it through the cave. After the grinding I had to do in Sylvan Cave I was sort of expecting this one to be another challenge, but it was pretty easy I'm now in the Land of Summons. Still have to explore a bit, but I'll do that later.

I did like that when I was going through the cave that I could see parts of the level below me on the tiles that weren't covered in lava. Was a nice touch

progress on my list has halted because I got batman arkham asylum.. Ive finished it now though, so I will get back into my list. Ill come back to tomb raider later because i want to start resident evil for gamecube.. been looking foward to this one.

I've made it to chapter 7 of Jet Set Radio Future. I believe I'm nearing the end.

Its really fun and I'm kind of addicted. I'm starting to get the itch to complete everything in the game.

I'll mark it as finished when I see credits, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep playing this throughout the summer.

played some Daytona USA last night... I'm on the Advanced track now, and trying to get first place. The hilarious thing is that at one point I was in first, but didn't make it to the next checkpoint, so it was Game Over. But because I was in first when the race stopped, I got the achievement for beating Advanced haha.

I need to get back to Cthulhu. The Dagon fight is pretty hard. It's only the second time in the game where I've had serious trouble with a boss battle. I'm pretty sure I need to some grinding at this point, cuz I've had some really long and serious battles with Dagon but I can't seem to eek out a victory.

I'm finally on the last disc of Panzer Dragoon Saga. I am loving this game; it's just unlike anything I've ever played! The entire thing feels more like an emotional experience instead of a story alone. It's simply beautiful.

Clockwork Knight
Jet Set Radio
Sonic Blast
Mischief Makers
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom (GBA)
Silent Hill 2 (360)
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Batman (NES)
Pokémon Colosseum

Well, that' two down. I've gotta say that Sonic Blast, along with the rest of the Sonic GG family, just really aren't that great of games in my eyes. I mean, Blast had some neat boss designs, but I felt the game had some pretty poorly designed levels, especially when compared to their Genesis counterparts, and the music is easily some of the worst in the series. This one really isn't anything to write home about, and I don't think I'll be spending anymore time with it. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but if you're looking for a good portable Sonic game, go play the Advance series. They are far better games than what the Game Gear has to offer.

Jet Set Radio Future, Done!

Yeah, call me a big fan, because Jet Set is a blast. I had some frustrating moments throughout the game, but the problem always resolved itself when I realized I was doing it wrong.

Great stuff, and I'm definitely gonna spend more time with it and unlock the secret characters and such.

I'mma go buy the soundtracks now...
