Good taste is good taste no matter what country you live in.

Of course, my family came over from Ireland so let's just assume that it's genetic.

I already beat the Sonic games and OoT but I replayed them. Does that count?

Anyway, I HATE Assassin's Creed. I truly had to force myself to beat this game, which is a shame. The concept seems cool, but the repetitive gameplay made me wish that I had something better to do.

OBJECTION!

I HATED Assassin's Creed.

I LOVED Assassin's Creed 2 / Brotherhood.

Give em' a shot.

Puzzle Bobble Mini on Neo Geo Pocket Color: Puzzle mode and VS mode (low difficulty). Puzzle Bobble is always fun and the NGPC's joystick is wonderfully responsive. However the bubble's colours are a bit to similar to each other and I found myself confusing them (especially green with grey) unless I had PERFECT light conditions.

7/26 Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team (XBLA)
7/27 The King of Dragons (PS2)

Yes, that is indeed an XBLA title on my beaten list. A friend downloaded the Warhammer 40K game Kill Team. It feels a LOT like a 40K version of Smash TV but with melee added. The game is pretty epic, challenging, and has a decent enough story. I kinda wish that there were either characters beyond Space Marines to play as or that there were more chapters but hey - it's a fun game.

I also played though The King of Dragons on the Capcom Classics vol 2 for the PS2. Great little title - probably one of the more complex and lengthy arcade games I have ever seen. I am not ashamed to admit that I needed many a continue; this game was crazy hard, even with two people. I wish Capcom still made games like this.

How is that? I've had my eye on it for a while, but haven't really heard much about it.

I might just do that. Do the sequels add any sort of variety, or are they still following the "Climb a tower, look, jump off, pickpocket/eavesdrop/interrogate, eliminate target, repeat 9 times" formula?

Hard. I didn't enjoy it, to be honest. It was just too damn hard. My only strategy was to press start when I died too many times.

PL is a series that I've wanted to try for so long, but haven't. So when I noticed a new copy of Unwound Future at Gamestop, I jumped on it. And boy, it's better than I expected. Great story, great puzzles, great animation. And the end is so sad.

WarioWare is good for short bursts, but I made it to the credits in under an hour of play. If you're looking for depth, this isn't for you, but it's good for what it is: a bunch of entertaining five-second games.
