I just started Ghost Recon: FS last night. That game is so awesome and very underrated.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

Maybe using the stories like Infinity Gauntlet, Onslaught Saga or Fear Itself... would LOVE any of those.

Have you tried the LEGO Marvel game yet? It's not quite the same as what you're discussing, but there's a huge cast of characters and events from the Marvel Universe to check out.

And my backlog is larger than my Backloggery appears because I have a bad habit of not putting in games when I acquire them. That said, I'm finally on the board for most completed SNES games.

Yeah, I really like the series. I don't think MUA 2 was all that bad, and I'm one of the lucky ones who nabbed the DLC when it was still available. I LOVE playing as Psylocke, so I would have been pissed if I missed the DLC. I love that they brought her back. She was a top tier character in X-Men Legends and my go to character in Capcom's Marvel Super Heroes back in the arcades. You can get your Marvel fix from both X-Men Legends games and X-Men Wolverine Origins, if you haven't played them already. They're all from the same developers who made the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Teraway has been good so far, but it hasn't wowed me like I thought it would. Just kinda simple and formulaic.
I like Tearaway, but it's definitely another one of those games that some people are talking up too much. It's a bit too gimmicky of a game. So many things in the game feel forced in just to try and use every possible feature of the Vita. Also, the game is too cute for its own good. It really feels aimed as kids and doesn't walk that line of pulling that off while still being appealing to adults they way something like Ratchet and Clank does. You've got a main character who can never stop smiling and a narrator who is amazed by something as mundane as a camera. "What is that!? OH! It takes photos! Everybody loves photos!" :roll:

It all just feels silly and kind of nauseating

In a year that had so many great platformers, it's a shame that Tearway came out at the tail end of it, as I feel like I've already played a bunch of games within the genre this year that are better. Puppeteer in particular, as that is a game that feels like it's aimed at the same crowd as Tearaway. It's a niche, obscure, indie feeling platformer with a gimmick. Puppeteer just amazed me so much more though

I've been reading about ways to somehow get the long lost DLC, are license transfers and the like still an option for people? If so, how does that work...and what can I pay you do help me!? :shock:
Are there hacked saves or hacked DLC files floating around the interwebz?

I wholeheartedly agree on Teraway btw, good assessment.

Played PSP Lumines for a while today. Once I figured out how puzzle mode worked, I was all "oh, this isn't too hard." Then I got to the 4x4 square. I hate you, 4x4 square.

Playing the original fallout and man i'm addictd to this. I never though that i would be like this since i didn't like the combat at the beggining. Now i just saved the vault i know the game is far from over but at least i don't have that day limit making me go insane... i'll go and do some sidequests.

Also got to play Valkirya chronicles on the PS3 a few days ago, for some reason i though it was a JRPG but with guns... but it is a full strategy game, from what i played so far. I just been introduced to the diferent classes so far. I'll get some more play time with tomorrow... if i can get off fallout :lol: .

New Super Mario Bros. on the original Wii - I'm at the very end of the game, fighting Bowser. Boy, what a forgettable experience. The game isn't particularly difficult, but it's easy to die, and I find the controls to be skittish and annoying. The game also has quite a few cheap parts where avoiding taking a hit isn't possible. I don't recommend playing this one solo.

Playing Knack, and at the moment it is leading in first place for my 2013 Worst Game of the Year award. I'm feeling something akin to genuine loathing for this game...and the people who made it.
