Super Metroid (Super Nes) - Complete
Rayman (PS)
Harvest Moon (Super Nes)
Resident Evil Code Veronica (Dreamcast)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) - Complete
Lightening Force (Genesis) - Complete
Paper Mario (N64)
Fur Fighters (PS2)
Phantasy Star (SMS) - Complete
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PCE CD) - Complete

I've done it, god damn it. I beat Phantasy Star!

Between Baya Malay and the Celestial Castle, the endgame was a nightmare (though the last bit that came after was a breeze) but it was so worth it.

This game is absolutely spectacular.

I'm gonna go take a nap now. :lol:

About how long are the Phantasy Star games? I should get to some of those or the Shining series sometime this year.

Phantasy Star II and IV are about 20 hours. Could take a bit longer depending on how much grinding you do and how fast you get through the dungeons.

Chrono Trigger - already put in a good 9 or 10 hrs. Gonna start it back up today I think.

Dead Or Alive - beat.

Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown - put in a few hours... but still haven't beat the first full scenario. And there are four total, so not sure if I'll get through it this month or not.

Mega Man X4 - beat.

Metal Gear Solid - put in a few hours. But I've only beaten the second boss, and apparently there are still 8 more ahead. I really like it, but I'm not great at it. Things seem to take me a really long time in this game so I doubt I'll beat it this month.

Mr. Driller - beat.

Myst - popped this in for 10 mins and felt like I was going to hate it. I have a guide book so I might try again soon for a good hour to make sure. We'll see.

Ridge Racer - beat.

R-Type Delta - I get fucked up by the second level. (cue dsheinem's I-told-u-so-cat.gif). I still plan to play some more, but not counting on beating it.

Silent Hill - the only title I haven't fired up this Summer. I do plan to. And would like to see myself beat it. So we'll see.

OK, so I picked up where I left off. Beat Azara and watched a "big fire" hit the earth.

Well, this was my list to begin with...

Final Fantasy II - GBA
Final Fantasy III - DS
Final Fantasy IV - DS
Final Fantasy V - GBA
Final Fantasy VI - GBA
Final Fantasy VII - PSP
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 -360
Portal - 360
Little Big Planet - PS3
Scribblenauts - DS

... and due to being so busy, and the time leech that is Fallout: New Vegas, I've only put any time into Final Fantasy II on the GBA. I still plan on beating that before the summer is over, as I'm near the end of the game now, but the rest will probably have to wait.

I was actually thinking of starting up Diablo soon though. Haven't played it since I was a kid, and never have seen the end credits. Anyone have any tips for a Diablo noob?

OK, so I lost to the Golem and was sent back to 65,000,000 BC but can't remember where the fuck I find the gate to leave is. I want to get back to another time. Can somebody remind me?

@noise: The first MGS really isn't that long even if you're new to it, should only take you like 10-15 hours I'd say.
