Played Initial D for the first time. It was all in Japanese, so me and my friend who were supposed to be playing against each other, just ended up time-trialing. Ah well.

Finally got round to finishing The Darkness 2. I really liked this game, it was overlooked this year.

Started playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.

I know people go "IT'S JUST WOW WITH LIGHTSABERS" but it's not like the original KOTOR games weren't just that but single player. I mean KOTOR has always been a taskbar game, now it's just a taskbar game that's massively multiplayer.

It still very much feels like a KOTOR game, real emphasis on storytelling, you still have your companions, in fact I kinda wish the game wasn't massively multiplayer so it wouldn't lag so much at times on my laptop. Everything is voice acted (literally everything), it still has your decision and karma systems from BioWare games. Even if you don't like MMOs, it's a solid game if you enjoy KOTOR.

Hopefully I get to do some multiplayer stuff soon (more like co-op with a friend of mine) and I'll tell you how that goes.

Also I think this thread has been around long enough to warrant a sticky.

I achieved so much this week in my non-gaming life that I decided to take today as a 'me' day, and as such I accomplished quite a lot, game wise.

- I finally finished the download for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, since I managed to repair my torrent program. This signal is too weak for a direct download, but with torrents it doesn't matter if it dies, it just picks up again later :) But yeah, MHP3rd, awesome game. Never got to play the Wii version much so most of this is new to me. Already got a kick-ass longsword, two cats dressed in samurai armour with sweet weaponry, etc. Well worth the wait.

- Played a LOT of Aliens Infestation DS. My sweetheart gave it to me yesterday so it carries significant sentimental value. Which is handy, because I suck at it. I keep losing guys, especially against the queen at the end of the first section of the Sulaco. I'd look up a better way of doing it on the FAQs, but there's only one and it's in Italian, which ain't much good to me...

- Realised that my recent gaming drought is over now that UTorrent is back online, and also that I can now play the Final Fantasy series in a straight run from 1 to 12, except 11 since its online but I don't really think it counts anyway. Downloading FF3, the only one I'm missing, as we speak.

I've done a lot more today, but my downloads are nearly finished so I'm gonna go free up some space on my memory card.

This weekend i re-installed my whole computer system because i mistakingly deleted a well, KEY registry key.. Not quite gaming but it was a real accomplishment! No big loss as i keep most of my digital content on external HDD except some saves games (arrr restarting Two Worlds II now..) and hours to get it back in order.. Almost done now after about 10 hours! I won't approach RegCleaner before long and get an image of my system on my external HDD, lesson learned!

We got our Wii U today. My bro was really wanting to play Nintendo Land to see how good it would be. Neither of us had really high hopes. However it actually turned out to be a really fun game. The mini-games aren't long but they are entertaining. I don't really see myself playing it for hours and hours on end, but if we just play them every so often I could see the game lasting quite a while.

We also got Assassins Creed 3, Zombie U, and CoD: Black Ops 2 with it. Haven't gotten far enough into them to really form an opinion yet. I'm hoping to play Assassins Creed 3 really soon, but we'll see what my schedule for life is like :/

Got to Prestige 10 in MW2! After a good 12 months of playing this wonderful game, making it officially my most played game ever, I reached Prestige 10. Now just to get to lvl 70 again, and I completed the never-ending multiplayer!

AWESOME game, especially on PC where you can get rid of lots of noob stuff.

I found time to try playing the new Borderlands 2 DLC. I was pretty disappointed with the first DLC, didn't even play through all of it. The second DLC is a little better but not by much (as far as I have seen so far). They just don't feel enough like Borderlands. I dunno, maybe I'm just old school first Borderlands :/ . Although I was very pleased to find out that there are designated slots for the Torgue Tokens. I play those more than I play the actual storyline of the DLC.

I've been able to pick up gaming again. Lets see:

Finished the Water area in NSMB:U, I'm stuck in one ghost house in the ice world though.
Got to the Fun Center in Lollipop Chainsaw

And I've been playing some Black Ops 2. I've never bought a CoD game before, just played them here and there, so I'm trying to get into this one. I'm doing pretty good. I mean admittedly, I'm not good, nor a fan of FPS games. I'd rather a game of Mario or Zelda over an FPS any day of the week, but when I'm able to go about 21-10, I feel pretty good.

Sadly though, Paper Mario Sticker Star and Virtues Last Reward are on hold until who knows when.
