Started Asura's Wrath and I'm loving it. It's almost a interactive movie with more cutscenes then game play at the moment, but the variety of game play and quality of the story really has me hooked right now. Just finished the second episode and so far I've played a Panzer dragon style shooter section, a couple QTE fights, and a brawler style section all of which featured over the top action and a very nice art style.

Been wanting to play Asura's Wrath and bought it awhile back, but then I loaned someone my 360 ... like a year ago ... :(

Alternating between Giana Sisters DS on the, uh, DS and various Taito Legends 1&2 arcade games.

I have beaten the C64 version of Giana Sisters in the past (via emulation) so this will be an interesting comparison,

I never played the original Suikoden, but I played through the second about a year ago, a buddy of mine wanted it tested good before he sold it and what am I gonna say, "No I don't want to play your amazing rpg for you"?

Used a walkthrough because there's a ton you can miss in that game and I wanted to be sure to get it all, and it was STILL amazing. I need to go back and play the original some time.

About to reach the 50 hour mark on pokemon heartgold. About 10 of those hours where expended leveling up 3 pokemon i didn't ended up using. Im still need to fight against the elite 4 and go to Kanto so maybe i could easily reach 70 hours in this game.

Just started Arc the Lad Collection. Less than 2 hours into the first game. Seems decent so far.

Be sure to access the hidden worlds. One of them recreates The Great Giana Sisters' levels in their entirety. :shock:

Played way too much Rex Rocket last night. It's currently available in the Indie Gala Monday Bundle, and it's a lot of fun. Just... don't go for the Dash Boots until you've got the Jetpack. I managed to pull it off, but it took many, many tries. Without it, it's a Super Meat Boy-style challenge.

Anyway, it kinda uses an idea from Cave Story with the gun that lets you hover. You don't quite hover in this one, but it can slow your decent, and a charge shot will launch you higher. The aesthetic of the game is definitely retro, and I've found that it's not just a layer to say, "Hey, remember this?" The game itself is great, too. Hopefully I'll find some time to finish it up tonight.

Started playing Tomb Raider Definitive Edition last night and I must say it is pretty awesome. I could never get into the older installations in this series but I think the environment, matched with great controls and lots of jump scares, is making this a great experience. Has anyone played the game and if so what were your thoughts?
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)
