Zelda is brilliant. Did you do the second quest?

How in the holy mother of ass did these get on your list? Paging a certain former moderator...

Didn't Opa argue in favor of Silent Hill 3? I can't remember, but I'd consider that acceptable.

Other M on the other hand....*cringe*

I get the feeling that Other M will be a game whose merits will be re-evaluated in coming years. But it's a bit too new at the moment.

It's hard to argue that it isn't brilliant, for the time period and how influential it was, but I will say that it's a flawed game and that Link to the Past is vastly superior...and that's a nice way of saying it was annoying as fuck.

Silent Hill 3 is one of the best horror games of the PS2 era (or so I'm told) and I wanted to play another side-scrolling Metroid, so...we'll see if it holds up.

Well just beat the first dungeon in TLoZ. Man I suck at this, decided to explore a bit and yeah I just seem to be wandering around because now I've got the bow and arrows, bombs, blue candle, and big shield(though wasted my rupees on the last one because I forgot there was a merchant that sold it for cheaper in the game)

Did a few more chapters, and apparently I'm about half way though. It's going a lot slower than I would of liked, but those soldiers and turrets just get on my nerves. It makes it difficult for me to play more than 2 chapters at a time >< In one chapter, I was playing though most of it with only 1 life... not fun ;-; Hopefully now that I'm outside there might be fewer of them...? (somehow I doubt that though ;-; )

Whenever I play Zelda I end up wandering around a bunch and collecting as much as I can before the first dungeon: the wooden sword, bombs, heart containers, the letter, the blue candle, the white sword, the magical shield, arrows, medicine, the blue ring...

I'm putting my summer games on hold for awhile. I'm moving soon so I'm packing up my games and consoles. It'll take ages to get this all unpacked and set up in a new house.

For now I'm just gonna stick with handheld and PC gaming. Maybe I'll replace some of the games on my list? Who knows.

This is me too. That's the beauty of Zelda. You can actually power the F up beforehand.

This is me too. PC gaming and handhelds rule lately for me.

Yeah maybe I just need to explore more but i just seem to constantly die in the game. I remember a few things from a previous play through to where I'm at but I seriously wish in some way they'd made it easier to tell where you should/can burn/explode things ha ha
