2010 Games Beaten

Knights of the Round is excellent on the SNES, but I hadn't played the actual arcade version before Wednesday. Not only is it more fun (and difficult), but the leveling seems to be more exciting and pronounced. Another great beat-em-up from Capcom's golden era.

I played through Sonic last night on the PSP as it is kind of a "comfort food" game. It seemed appropriate for Thanksgiving night. Lots of fun, and still the best game in the entire 2D or 3D series.

I've been sharing my thoughts about Shining Force in the TR thread, but suffice to say I enjoyed it. It is a classic well deserving of its acclaim.

I have really played a lot of RPGs this year: I've beaten both Mass Effect games (and most of the expansions), Dragon Age II (and the first expansion), Chrono Trigger, and now Shining Force - each of these was a first for me. For some of you who regularly play RPGs that might be small potatoes, but I have sunk more hours into RPGs this year than I probably have in the past 2-3 years combined!

None of them really took my fancy to be honest with you, I was thinking of trying into splatterhouse, but never got around.

2012 - The year em' tries all the TR games.

Also I don't own any of them games from this year (Other than Splatterhouse being in the latest game and Shining Force being on the Megadrive Collection on 360).

I used to play the Sonic games all the time when I was a kid, but I was never good enough to make it past the first few levels. It really makes you feel like a badass when you can go play a game like that and have little trouble. I'll probably have to go back and play it again with Knuckles and try to get all of the Chaos Emeralds.

Not much to say about these games, other than that they're simple and fun.


Not sure how much dough you had at the end of Duck Tales, but if you enjoy the game (who doesn't?) play it again and try to find the 2 lost treasures, which will boost your score and give you an alternate ending.

I've "beaten" Skyrim. In this case, I'm defining beaten as "I've finished the main questline, and all of the faction questlines that my character could reasonably participate in with his build, or would considering he's an old magic-hating superstitious Nord."

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Wii
Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space: Episode 204: Chariots of the Dogs PC
Total: 73

Skyward Sword was an absolutely fantastic game, and may rate as my favourite zelda game of all time. It's definitely my favourite Wii game. In fact, as of right now, I would rate it as one of my favourite games ever. I just loved every moment of it, I rarely got frustrated yet it wasnt TOO easy, it set out a path for you to follow, but still rewarded you for exploration, and the controls, for me, were just perfect. If all motion controlled games played like this, I wouldn't have any problems with them become far more prevalent. The story kept me interested, the bosses were fun and sometimes challenging and for me, the true sign that this was a great game was that after I finished, I wanted to immediately start again. I'd have to say that this has replaced Ghost Trick as my favourite game I've played this year, which is a shame because this is such an obvious AAA (I hate that term :S) mainstream choice and Ghost Trick needs more love, but is true nonetheless.

Sam and Max 204 was a decent entry in the series. It featured time travel and allowed you to go back and forward upsetting time and fixing it again to solve puzzles. I did enjoy some call back to earlier Sam and Max games, particularly some of the season 1 episodes, and there were some knowing jokes which made me laugh. The best of which was when one character early on asked 'Are you a bad enough president to save the dude?!'. Some of the humour was a little more blunt than usual though, with several rather unsubtle innuendos and double entendres cropping up, which hasn't been the case for most of the other games. They were still funny, but I dunno, out of place seeming perhaps? Anyhow, this was a good, but not great episode. Doesn't rival Night of the Raving Dead (203) for best in this series, but is definitely ahead of Moai Better Blues (202). One more left to finish up Season 2, and then I can try Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse.

You already beat Skyrim? Holy Shnikes, I thought it was supposed to be some game of epic proportions, and it can be beaten in less than two weeks? That's actually kind of disappointing to hear.


I'd be surprised to hear that he finished it ALL. I'm sure he meant the main-quest. There's TONS of stuff to keep you busy for a looooong time after the main-quest is over.

Sonic Generations 3DS is a good game but it felt like the classic Sonic sections were tacked on. If you find yourself choosing between the console version or the 3DS title, go for the home console game.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

OK, so a bunch of you jerks kept on me about getting this so I finally caved in. The main reason I dragged my feet was that I own a lot of versions of SF2 already. I have at least four different versions on PS2 alone. But playing through arcade mode once... I can really see why it's so popular. It's kind of amazing to see the HD take on this one. The detail -- even in backgrounds -- is incredible. I loved the remixed music (OCR FTW). So yeah. Consider me a fan. This might be the definitive version of SF2 (until the next definite version). At any rate, since I've been spending so much time on SF4, I'll have to go through arcade mode a few times on this one before I'm ready to jump online.

I'm going to be 'that' guy, and dump on HDR. I know it's, on a technicality, fan-made, and the budget obviously wasn't the greatest, and its success played a massive role in creating SFIV and all, but I deplore the animation. It strikes me as the kind of thing you find on one of those horrid, pan-European, barely-watched cartoons you see clogging up particularly cheap Belgian children's television channels at really obscure hours of the morning.
