What are you playing? (May)

I've started on SC4 again and it's amazingly fun creating characters. Gears 3 beta is also keeping me occupied, especially with a few mates it's awesome

Just started Hyper Duel.

Just beat Final Fantasy 6 for the first time today, after recommendations of playing it from the guys here. The story was pretty good, and I liked how you had a choice to search for your team mates in the latter half of the game, or going straight for the last boss. There were a lot of strong scenes, and I can imagine back when it was released it would have had a bigger impact on players. A 3DS remake could really bring to life a lot more of these scenes and create more emotion. I quite liked also how there wasn't an obvious central character, and that you could have up to 12 people come the final boss. I think FF7 would be more suited for a console remake (or NGP), whereas FF6 would probably be more suited to a 3DS remake.

Apart from that, I've been on Burnout Paradise a lot in the past week, doing as much offline stuff as I can, seeing as PSN is down. It went down as soon as I got the game so haven't been able to play online yet.

And probably going to start Bioshock today too. Looking forward to it.

Literally nothing.

I have Another Code R to play through, but I haven't got round to charging some batteries for my Wiimote. I'll probably start that soon.

Next Sunday I'll probably be playing my 3DS a lot, due to the MeetMii event I'll be going to.

Ace of Spades

Pokemon Platinum, oddly enough.

Not much, completed Portal 2 (all achievements done!)been playing black ops again since everyone suddenly started playing it.
Waiting for Brink to come out and possibly LA Noire.

Been playing a fair amount of Crysis 2 multiplayer and a little crackdown 2.

Black version, on and off.

Was playing a bit of 'Dangerous Seed' earlier, till I remembered how hard it is.

Not a lot, actually. That should change once my copy of The World Ends With You arrives in a week or so though. Really, really looking forward to it after trying to get it for so long.

That said, I'm still playing Super Street Fighter IV 3D from time to time and I'm playing a JRPG called Everlong as well. It's one of those free rpgmaker games you can download and play on your PC. Pretty sure that some of you are familiar with those. Anyway, the game is really good since I'm playing through it a second time after 1 year where I got my savefile corrupted by a very rare error. The game borrows a damn lot from other popular classic JRPGs(common for rpgmaker games though) but still manages to have its own style with some unique systems. Surprisingly, I happen to love its story as well. If you love classic JRPGs and are looking for a great timekiller, I recommend that you check it out.

Completed Portal 2 single-player and co-op campaigns. I can't see myself coming back to it much. I might try and get the fastest times possible on some of the co-op courses, but in reality I'd just be trying it online. I had to do the whole co-op in split-screen because of the PSN outage!

I may sign up to Steam just to redeem my free PC copy, and also to try some cross-platform online co-op.

I finally got round to starting Another Code: R the other day.

It's a good game, but it's probably the most text heavy game I've ever played. I played through two chapters on my first play session and it just tired me out. I think I'll stick to a chapter per play session, since they last about two hours each. I'm not a big fan of reading either, so to be enjoying it still, shows how good the writing/story is.

The puzzles are just as great as the first game and it makes good use of the Wii Remote. I love the soundtrack and the whole atmosphere feels very Cing. The way the game plays feels quite original too, though navigating around was a bit confusing at first.

I just got up to Chapter 4 yesterday and I'm looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.
