Gradius Collection (PSP)

It's time for me to finally admit that the only type of shmup I can complete is one where:
- you have infinite continues
- you respawn exactly where you die

Otherwise I'm screwed and this collection just reminded me of how much I suck at this genre. Don't get me wrong, these are great games... well designed levels, fast pased gameplay... but damn did I get owned.

To be fair, I did "beat" Gradius I. I put beat in air quotes as these ports are apparently much easier than the originals, as you now have the option to save anywhere. Without this ability I doubt I would have passed the third level.

As far as Gradius II goes, I wasn't so lucky. I believe I got to the series of final bosses, but after 50 or so deaths I decided to call it quits. Didn't even bother to check out the other titles. I'm sure I'll revisit this collection someday, maybe on a rainy summer night.

(oh and to add insult to injury, I messed up entering my initials after getting the high score in Gradius I).

Shmups!!!!! :evil:

Loco Roco PSP
Dissidia 012[duodecim] Final Fantasy PSP
Catrap Game Boy
Kirby's Adventure Wii Wii
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions PSP
Grim Fandango PC
Battalion Wars 2 Wii
Scribblenauts DS



Games on the list: Battalion Wars 2, Scribblenauts
Games off the list: Xenoblade Chronicles, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Wario Land 4

3 games off the list this month, which is good progress, especially as one of those games is Xenoblade, which I've been working at for a looooong time. Kirby and Wario were also beaten, along with a bunch of games that were beaten from start to finish this month and never actually ended up on this list. The two games added were both games I just recently started up, sohopefully both will be off the list come next months entry. I do need to get back to Grim Fandango too, but my PC is broken , as is my PSP for the PSP games :(. bah.

Here's my list:
Metroid Prime Corruption
LoZ Skyward Sword
Super Mario 3D Land

Metroid Pime 3 is only my second Metroid game and my first Prime game. OMG why do I suck so much at FPSes!

I'm still working at Zelda, about 5 hours in and I'm on the second dungeon.

Super Mario 3D land, I'm currently stuck at the special worlds, the actual game though only took me 6 hours to beat.

More games on than off the list this time, but most of the games are on my summer challenge, so they should be removed in the next few months. Those include FFIV (which I'm currently working through), Duck Tales, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Grim Fandango - the latter of which I plan to play through right after FFIV,when my new laptop arrives :)

Broke even this month, with one on, one off. I did however beat a handful of games, with the majority (such as Command and Conquer and Kirby) being both started and beaten this month. Next month I'm hoping will clear up this list somewhat, as Grim Fandango, Resi 4, Ghouls n Ghosts and DuckTales are all on my summer games list. 3 of them are also currently being played, so I'll call it now - there will be at least 2 games, hopefully 3 or 4 removed from this list this time next month!

Started but abandoned and thus not (yet) finished this year:

Tactics Ogre: LUCT (PSP)
Ocarina of Time
Xenoblade Chronicles
Wolfenstein (2009)
Catherine
Call of Duty Black Ops
Child of Eden
Bulletstorm
Assasin's Creed Ii

I'm excluding arcade-esque titles and anything where I only played an hour or less.

Hope to clear some of these off before the year's out.

It sucks overall.
















Just kidding dsh, I quit playing because I bought the PS3 version and discovered I only like playing DE on PC. I'll be buying that version instead.

I think you have me confused with a certain Washingtonian.
