I always hear those are fun but I've never played one. I got one of the Star Wars ones for Gamecube but don't want to play it, afraid anything associated with the prequels may be so bad as to turn me off the idea lol.

As for what I've been playing. I got pretty far in my replay of Twilight Princess (right before the Sky Temple) but decided to put it on hold for my first playthrough of the original Zelda, and maybe Zelda 2. Just beat the 3rd dungeon in Zelda 1.

I don't know about the other Lego games since the one I mentioned is my first Lego game. So far, it is faithful to the LoTR movie trilogy but with extra playable lego characters like Tom Bombadil, Gilgalad, Fatty Bolger, etc.
The most fun I have is with the exploration aspect of the game. It is just that I'm playing it on the 3ds and the ps3 version have much more cutscenes, items, characters and hidden areas for exploration based on what I see online.

Marvel Super Heroes arcade, cheesing Thanos with Iron Man. Hell Dr Doom gave me more headaches than this guy did (and Doom is the second to last guy while Thanos is last).

Maybe you could try the PC version? I'm sure that'll have the missing content.


I beat Zelda 1 and got near the end of Zelda 2 but actually climbing the path to the final temple seems more like a test of attrition than any kind of actual skill, just play till you get lucky. I lost interest at that point, at least for the time being.

I got the last freeware version of Xpadder* so now I'm finally able to play all those games in my steam library that have been gathering virtual dust due to my not having a compatible controller. As a result I'm now playing the parody RPG "Breath of Death VI: The Beginning"  pretty funny so far. All of the characters are undead. The main character being a silent protagonist owing to the fact that he's a skeleton without a tongue, though we hear his inner monologue and so can psychic party members. Was pleased to see a Castlevania joke reference within the first 5 minutes of play. "Troll Chief: What is an undead man? A miserable little pile of secrets! ...and bones!" "DEM: ... (Enough talk, have at you!)"

*For those who may not know Xpadder is a program that allows pretty much any controller to emulate a keyboard/mouse, with you choosing what buttons to map the keys to. So it's perfect for things like platformers and RPGs that only support certain controllers or don't support controllers at all. Continuous support and free upgrades to the newest version of Xpadder is $10 but it's the holidays and money is tight. Version 5.3 works well enough for me for now, I'd have tried it sooner if I'd known there had even been a freeware version.

Duke Nukem Forever. I don't know why I started it, and I sure as hell couldn't tell you why I'm still playing it. This game is not fun at all.

Started playing Rusty tonight, too. Now this is more like it! Feels pretty tedious sometimes, but the graphics and music are excellent. Just finding what the next stage is like is motivation enough to keep trying.

It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

My girl gifted me Volgarr the Viking since it was on sale on steam. All I can say is wow, if you guys are looking for a game to challenge you look no further. It's like Ghosts'N Goblins and Chakan the Foreverman had a baby. Really dig the visuals. And the protagonist reminds me of The Lost Vikings, though that was a totally different kind of game.

Just look at this Retro Genesis Style Manual that came with it. So beautiful.

I've decided to start the persona games, starting with the first on the psp. While not impresive graphics, story ang combat mechanics are really nice and the music very nice.
