Cleared the 7th dungeon of Link's Awakening.
How are you supposed to finish these without a walkthrough?!
I was looking for 2 hours for how I could get inside the 6th dungeon. Turned out that trading sequence wasn't optional at all and who would ever try to dive under a bridge to find a fisherman in a boat who trades the hook for a necklace???
And then you still don't have the boomerang you need. You still need to find the guy who gives it to you.

Same thing for the 'flying rooster' you need to get inside the 7th dungeon.
I never would have thought by myself to push aside the statue in Mable Village.
I thought I had to do something for the guy with all the chickens on Tal-Tal Mountain.

The constant backtracking is also pretty annoying.

Taking in advantage that are selling for cheap now got a Xbox 360 RGH'd and after learning the basic stuff I'm rocking it like a king.
Copied lots(if not all) of Cave shmups and played like a sick.

now I'm "acquiring" all those games that aren't available on PS3 and some hard to find at all, waited long enough to continue the cliffhanger Halo 2 leaved years ago on my PC.

Completed a playthrough of Doom 3 on the original Xbox for the first time. The only parts I needed to use a walkthrough was the guardian of nightmare and the last boss. I enjoyed it enough that I think I'll also start the sequel Resurrection of Evil.
Just completed the sequel\addon Resurrection of Evil, overall it was a little more difficult then the original with afew added weapons which was nice. Only complaint I had was the fact of how dark both games were but overall not bad. doubt I'll go back for seconds though.

Platted Gat Out Of Hell, kinda creepy screenshot when the whole game is based around Satan and Hell:

The odds of getting a screen like that must be billions to one.

Played through Jazzpunk. A must-try for those looking for a hilarious, surrealistic game in the style of Wario games. :)

Also started playing Risk of rain. Pretty decent roguelike castlevania-ish game. I think this'll be better when played in co-op, though...

My biggest problem with ALBW was getting to each dungeon too.

I hate having to use walkthroughs but simply travelling through the land required one as the descriptions for the location of each temple were not great.

Completed Bravely Default with maxed out level and jobs. Clocked in at an overwhelming 91 hours...
Why do I freaking have to 100% all my games! This way I'm never getting through my backlog, which contain about 20 other similar RPG's...
Good thing I don't really care about completing the bestiary. Otherwise it would take me about 10 hours more.

Didn't like how the story turned out though, but that game has some really good mechanics.
The idea was good, but the execution could be better.
They kind of skip over what happened to the heroes' counterparts in the other worlds and it's not clear if Ringabell exists in those other worlds or if Ringabell can only 'exist' if Alternis Dim falls through a Holy Pillar into the next world and suffers amnesia.
Or do I just misunderstand and does Alternis Dim sometimes help the other 3 in the other worlds?
When they show the other worlds helping out at the ending (which is also kind of vague how they do it) it's always Ringabell you see instead of Alternis so...

Doesn't there only exist 1 Airy who just goes from world to world, linking them? Then how at the end could there be multiple worlds with the heroes together, if that moment technically has already past. Because she only joins the new heroes when the previous ones are dead. So the other world's heroes couldn't have helped (being dead and all).
Or is this a wibbly wobbly timey wimey thing?

I'll guess I should assume it is, but I'd still would have liked it better if they explained the parallel universe thing better.

They make Bravely Second seem really interesting with that bonus movie, though.

Also started The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX and got to the third dungeon.



Ending is a mess. Too many plot holes and the whole repeat cycle thing detracted from the huge amount of quality and care in the first half of the game.

I beat Ninja Gaiden III! :D

The story is kind of screwed up, and it was definitely harder than the second one, even though the fire spell helped me a lot.
On top of that, on a classic gaming spree, I also beat Megaman I and II, although I'll admit I used the pause trick to beat the yellow thing in the first one. Megaman II was very easy compared to that.

Finished Link's Awakening a couple of days ago.
Final Boss is not that hard with the Blue Tunic and Lvl 2 sword.
Did take me while before I realized I had to use the magic powder on his first form.

Played up to the 2nd chapter of Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy.
Seems more interesting than the previous game and I'm glad they returned more to the cartoony style.
Mask of Miracles was too much 3D and it kind of clashed with the French-cartoon style of the Layton games, but they seemed to have found a balance now.
Too bad it's the last one in the series.

Played Halo 2 coop with a friend until the first covenant mission, we took our time and didn't helped that we set the difficulty in Heroic, so we ended up death a lot(and for fun too, there is hardly a penalty if you kill your partner, you even appear with guns full of bullets).

I finally beat Agent Armstrong on PS1. Two words:

Fuck yes.
It has been a game that has been sitting in my "unplayed" list for years. It all started in 1998, when I had a demo disc with two levels of the game. I was so fascinated by the game I played the demo a lot, until I found the actual game online a few years ago. The game is fun, but it suffers from two major problems: the HUGE loading times and the bad 3D effect. Other than that, the game is very fun. I finally decided to complete the last levels after I gave up because too unforgiving, and...what an anticlimatic boss.

Anyway, 3/5. Only 3 PS1 games left to play (Tail Concerto, Digimon World 2003 and The Legend of Dragoon). According to HLTB, it will take me two months or something, ugh.
