Mario Land 2

not even close to beating the original (Mario Land 1), but it was a fun ride nonetheless

but only level(s) I truly enjoyed were those in space, the rest felt so-so

I didn't find *everything*, since I'm not much of a purist when it comes to Mario games, but I don't find a reason to play this again

it was nice that Wario was the main-boss, since I'm moving onto Mario Land 3 - Wario Land and starting the Wario games, to find out what all the fuzz is about =)

Lost Planet 2 on Xbox 360 was fun for online multi-player but the story was not as compelling as original.

Battle Bears: Zombies on the iPod touch

Before that it was Resident Evil: Degeneration on the iPod touch and GTA Chinatown wars on the DS.

Just finished Metroid: Zero Mission. It never ceases to amaze me how difficult Metroid games can be sometimes. I know some people speed run through them still getting 100% items and I am impressed. I do feel like, for the first time, I felt the weakness of the controls on the Dingoo. It was incredibly hard to shinespark as switching quickly from a direction to down usually resulted in me losing the charge. Still, pretty neat game.

After finishing Metroid: Zero Mission, I decided to go back and beat the original Metroid. This game is tough, I forgot how hard it is and that's the reason I never beat it, by myself, to begin with. Taking both games together, Zero Mission was a nice throwback to the original game - the levels are very similar with some that are exact, like Thebes after suffering the effects of aging. Very cool! I think I'll start a Metroid marathon while I am waiting to obtain the remaining Zelda games I have left to play.

That's great! The original Wario Land is one of my favorite platformers. It plays like a hybrid of Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3. Plus it feel genuinely fun being the bad guy.

Just finished Metroid II: Return of Samus. Pretty clever game and a great follow up to the hugely successful original. A much better sequel to Metroid than Zelda II is to LOZ. Not too challenging, more exploration with scattered battles with the different Metroids. By the end, I was sort of overly excited for the next game to be over. Especially since Super Metroid is up next and that seems to be everyone's favorite.

Just finished Halo 2 on Xbox. Great game!

Looking forward to playing Halo 3 when I hook my 360 back up

wait are you saying you had trouble with the first Mario Land?

Wario World is going to make you happy -- but personally, I think Wario Land II is pretty bad. Is it just me?

Completely? That would be Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy. I gained 100% in it on Monday.

Last game I beat was Gungrave. I discovered my old save was on the final level Monday night.
