Think of it as a simple mario platformer, except it's...paperized.

Wait..no Luigi?

I am on the verge of completing Deathspank finally, it has only been on hold for about 2 years.

I am slowly picking up on my Backlog list, but now I just jinxed it. Now I am going back to playing Guild Wars 2 all day long...

He's in it. He's really, really, really, really difficult to find, though.

Currently replaying the latest Family Guy game to find all the collectables, because I just hate myself THAT much.

I just finished playing the second one and I loved both games. The dialogue is spot on and the gameplay feels as much as an adventure game as an action rpg. The combat isn't too advanced, but it's never too hard either, which I felt was good, since the strong points of these games are the story anyway.

Not sure if I'll play The Baconing anytime soon, since Ron Gilbert didn't have anything to do with it, and since I've heard it's a lot more combat oriented.

I'm currently in the middle of many games. Not sure which I'll try to complete first yet.

It is. They do let you block and move at the same time though - finally.

I know it's got a pretty low meta score compared to the others, but maybe it's not so bad if you play through it on easy? What's your impression of it?

That's nice. Spamming the space button while moving sort of works, but it's not optimal and there's still a slight chance of getting hit. The protection charms are useless for just passing through difficult areas though, like the unicorns in the first game or the snowy mountain pips in the second.

When I mentioned the combat had been tweaked, I meant it. It's far too simplistic now. You just hold down the block button (so as to avoid taking much damage) and then press attack when the enemy isn't actually hitting you to kill them. That's combat in a nutshell.

It's not a bad game, but it does feel like a step back. The humour doesn't seem as funny, the combat is pushed to the forefront (to the point where there's an actual combat arena) and it all feels... like the spark has gone.

Playing Assassin's Creed III and Battlefield 3...then Finishing Halo and Starting Hitman.

[der_ketzer]

Mark Of The Ninja. And I still have to play Deus Ex this year. I have to!

[Toasty]

I just bought "To The Moon" on Steam yesterday, playing it today. Amazing emotional game.

[VeronicanPlay]

Well I just finished Deathspank and I do agree with many of the points. The story was fun and game play simple yet challenging. But no real re-play value, I have done all the quests and gotten all the achievements.

So coming up next, Thongs of Virtue.

[RetroVortex]

Fallblox, Magicka, and Shank.

[Darth Marsden]

Giana Sisters DS, which is a lot better than I thought it'd be. Starts off as a basic Mario clone (which is somewhat fitting), but gets more interesting as the game goes on. Very pleasantly surprised with it.

Also, Doom 3 with SikkMod. So it looks... uh, prettier. I guess. I dunno, it always looked pretty to me.

[Alcoremortis]

So I've been playing Dungeons of Dredmor and is it just me or did the expansions make the game a ton easier? I'm currently sitting on over 400k gold and every single type of wand, potion, and crafting material. My dodge chance is so high that even the boss creatures only have less than a fifty percent chance of hitting me and I have a constant regeneration effect so large that even when they do it heals after a few rounds. And then I have about thirty of every type of cheese, not to mention steak, deep omlettes, etc.

I'm literally turning rare artifacts into lutefisk simply to save the time it would take to sell them at a shop.

I guess this means I should play as a Vegan or some other class that punishes you for doing anything.

[RetroVortex]

Jak and Daxter, Bit Trip. Runner, and The "Denpa" Men.

[Alcoremortis]

So, as of last night at one-thirty, I started playing Amnesia. Haven't met any monsters yet, but have already started to go insane and went on this mad dash through the house when a room started shaking. So far, so good.

[GuruGuru214]

I'm still plugging away at Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I finished Assassin's Creed III yesterday, and I'm now doing a live Let's Play-ish run of the Sonic the Hedgehog series with my friends (at least what games I already own and can play on a console). I finished Sonic 1 last night.

I don't know what I'm dreading more, Sonic CD, Sonic 4, Secret Rings, or Unleashed.

Edit: I would include Sonic 2006, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations, but I don't own them.

Forget about Vegan. It makes the game too easy too.

Well, I skipped the last few levels and now I'm content with repeatedly getting murdered by Dredmor. Turns out that my ridiculous dodge bonus does nothing against him. So I'll probably have to go back through the other floors and get my stuff enchanted up the wazoo.
