Aw yeah, these guys did The Shivah, I'll have to check out Gemini.

In celebration of my Neo Geo MVS Multicart arriving, I just beat Neo Bomberman and Metal Slug 2 on my cabinet.

Hmm...ok, I guess I'll have to look it up. MMX7 has been sitting in my collection for some time, and while I had played it a bit, the loss of certain super items had kept me from returning to it. I suppose I'll look up if it's possible to get them back.

I've never even touched MMX7 and I kind of figure I should ... leave it that way?

Always heard great things about Command Mission though, I need to pick that one up sometime.

10. 5/21 - Epic Mickey (Wii)
11. 5/30 - Genji: Dawn of the Samurai
12. 6/11 - Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

I have to admit, metroid-vanias are one of my favorite flavors of games. I love love love collecting all the weapons, armor and souls, etc, and spending time exploring to get 100% map completion. I can't get enough. Funny enough though of the Castlevania metroid-vanias, I have only taken the time to beat Symphony of the Night, Dawn of Sorrow and now Aria of Sorrow.

Aria is a fantastic game, I'd have to rate it third out of the series (of the metroid-Castlevanias) in this order: DoS, SotN and AoS. I found the game a bit too easy, and I didn't even spend much time if any grinding before each boss battle. I think I only ever died once on one of the bosses, but probably because I was being careless. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I died at all in the game. But that's okay, because all of the great soul abilities and weapons are there to keep me playing til the end. I beat the game with 100% map completion with the best ending on normal. I'm still playing to try and collect all of the souls, but I may get bored before I make it to that goal.

1. Deja Vu
2. Lunar Legend
3. Skies of Arcadia Legends
4. Streets of rage 2
5. No more heroes 2
6. Rogue Galaxy
7. Pokemon White
8. Dragon Age 2
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops
10. Mafia 2
11. ArcaniA: Gothic 4
12. Two worlds II
13. Divinity 2 flames of vengeance
14. Rune Factory 3
15. Persona 4 (new)

Jesus, I do not want to play Persona 4 anytime soon. It took me about 60 hours to beat, on normal difficulty.

Just knocked Portal 2 under my belt. Beat the final boss with 2 seconds left on the clock.

Playing KOTOR now.
