What did you play last week?

[Kugyince]

Something close to another thread we have here. I'm more interested in what you've played at home all last week. I'm interested in what everyone's playing, their thoughts on it and where they are in it.

Last week I played Lego Rockband and A Boy and his Blob.

When the wife and I both feel like gaming we usually play Lego Rockband. Its one of the few multiplayer games we own that we both enjoy. I usually play guitar. Right now I'm at where Medium is a bit too easy and I always 5 star everything and hard is a bit too difficult. The wife will either play bass on medium or sing on medium but she's starting to get into playing bass and singing at the same time, both on easy. We've almost 100%'d it though. We're around ~125 gigs played out of 161.

In the rare chance I have the living room TV to myself I play A Boy and his Blob. I'm about half way through the second map. I'm really enjoying going through and finding all of the treasure chests to unlock all of the antiques. I really like it when a game lets you unlock all sorts of items that have no affect on the game itself such as trailers and concept art. Plus pushing up on the Dpad makes the boy give the blob a hug. :-[

[TrakMastaTom]

I assume you are playing the Wii A Boy and his Blob. I'm interested, but if I want to get my Wii I have to temporarily trade my 360 for it.

I've been playing 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. I know. But it's awesome. The shooting is satisfying, and the whole game is unintentionally hilarious. Or maybe intentionally. I'm not sure

Been playing a lot of Comix Zone lately, and me and a friend are on an NBA Jam kick.
Tried to play Ghosts N Goblins last night, but my cartridge is not functioning. :(

[Slime Slayer]

ive been playing tasunoko vs. capcom on wii, dragon quest 5 on ds on hyper sports on here.

tvc: awsome game but i still stink at it, ive only won 1 match online. i havent played too much yet, and i still havent tried out all the characters to know who i like most.

dq5: another excellent installment, i just made it to the last boss at about 40 hours in.
he whooped me, so i gotta go find a side quest or 2, or maybe hit it big in the casino so i can trade my tokens in for second metal king sword.

hyper sports: me and tanc have been trading this trophy back and forth for a while now, he's got it at the moment but i will take it back, before too long.

[tanc24]

I'm on a Coin-op kick here at RU. I have an old PS2 but I never play it. All my gaming is here at RU.

I realize that I am a huge fan of Atari coin-ops. 720 and Paperboy have received a lot of my attention lately. I'm not sure if I like them because of the nostalgia or because they are just fun to play. Paperboy is absolutely maddening for me. It seems like it should be easy, but I always struggle with it. I managed to claim the highscore however, and I'd like to see how hard it will be (or won't be) to beat it.

I just read cassidy's post. I don't know how I forgot about it, but he and I have been battling at Hyper Sports, which is basically Track N' Field 2. It's a challenging game, but a fun one. I only wish I could pass the Triple Jump on a consistent basis.

[Kugyince]

@TMT: Does the NBA JAM kick have anything to do with the new one coming out for the Wii?

@SC13: How much did you pay for the fighting stick? I saw one online last night for $40US.

[Mareeps]

All I really played over the last 7 days was Left 4 Dead 2.

When I play on normal, I reach new levels of fail.

[Tails]

Last week? Umm, Disgaea 2, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, on here coin ops, and lots of Sonic games.

[Kong]

Cool topic.
Last week I played Taloon's Great Adventure Mystery Dungeon (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7772/) » Super Nintendo (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/super-nintendo/)

[Winnebagel]

I have been playing Assassins Creed 2 for the second time on the 360 (yes, it's that good).

On RU, I have been playing a variety of things.

By the way, I agree. Nice thread Tenser.

[fenrir1887]

I've generally been playing Brawl all week. Last week, I played Richard's copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. That game is hard to play with the Wiimote. I doubt I'll have an easy time with Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

[TrakMastaTom]

@TMT: Does the NBA JAM kick have anything to do with the new one coming out for the Wii?


No, it really has to do with being the only Genesis game my friend has that is competitive. We drink, play NBA Jam, and then dunk in each other's faces and yell obscene things.

Great game. :victory:

[Kugyince]

@Fenrir: Where are you at NSMBW? Are you planning to 100% it?

[joz]

Been playing all sorts of games I from side scroll shooters and beat em' ups. I also played FFVI for a good two hours.

[Kugyince]

@TMT: I'm really stoked to see how well the new NBA JAM comes out. I'll let you know if I pick it up.

[tanc24]

Wow, that brings back memories. My buddies and I used to do the EXACT same thing in college, except there was usually weed involved as well.

I remember that Mark Price could LIGHT it up from 3.

This week, I plan to tackle of few high scores that I've been meaning to reclaim. More specifically, Granada for Sega Genesis.

[Kugyince]

I also played FFVI for a good two hours.
First play through?

[Slime Slayer]

@TMT: Does the NBA JAM kick have anything to do with the new one coming out for the Wii?

@SC13: How much did you pay for the fighting stick? I saw one online last night for $40US.

came to $101.00 after taxes. I feel it was worth it, i got an adapter coming in the mail for about 20 bucks so i can use it on r.u.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Maybe a little over priced, but still worth it.

[Demon-Mask]

I've been playing Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3.

[fenrir1887]

In response to you, Tenser, not very far. I'm going to try to 100% it by any means without resorting to shortcuts like the GameShark if that's what you mean.

[Kugyince]

The game is certainly easier in 1-player mode. That being said, the more players the more enjoyable the game is.

[ZedIsDead]

I've spent the last couple of weeks on Chrono Trigger DS. Now that I've beat it, I'm going to try to finish all the side-quests, fill out my bestiary, and get all the endings.

Also, I killed Magus in my first playthrough. I was unaware he was playable until it was too late. Good thing there's New Game +.

[Kong]

Good thing there's New Game +.
What is that?

[Demon-Mask]

What is that?
You can start over maintaining some of your items, and giving you access to some areas hidden on the initial save which the new game+ is built on.

[sabby]

Chrono Trigger has a feature in it that allows you to keep all the items you have collected through the game and then start the game over. The "New Game +" is that option.

[tanc24]

I found a coin-op game on here called Bull Fight. I think it's both hilarious and fun. It's receiving the majority of my very limited gaming time this week.

[mj23]

I have been playing a few assorted games on here, mainly sonic. And I also finished Mass Effect on the xbox 360 Saturday. Great game, I definitely recommend it.

[RU Joe]

I have been playing Street Racing Syndicate on the Gamecube.
Tune it up and turn it loose.

I have been meaning to play that again to get the last achievements before moving on th ME2. However, I can't motivate myself to play it since I lost all my save files when my system was stolen last year. :(

that really blows. I want mass effect 2 sooooo bad.

[Dudebro]

I have ME2 but I am not playing it until I finish ME1. I know so much about ME2 because I can't help but watch my gf play it. Spoilers FTW! Not really but I can't help myself.:(

[Winnebagel]

It's all good. That's like I guess. I want to play it too. My plan is to play through ME1 again, and then export my ME1 character into ME2.

I'm currently trying to finish up Assassin's Creed II and Viking Battle of Asgars (which I also lost the files in). One day soon...

Dude, that sucks. It must ruin a lot of things. Although, if you watched the classic Sci-Fi show Babylon 5 you pretty much know half of the plot in ME 1 any way.

[Dudebro]

I never really got into that show for some reason so I have no idea. I'm fine with most spoilers but I already encountered one that was a big deal to me. It was awesome to find out but I didn't see the story that happened just the result. Vague I know but I think it's a big spoiler.

[fenrir1887]

Well, I'm usually spending time on the GBA these days. AW and AW2: BHR are recent additions to the list of games I'm playing. I love being able to refine my abilities as a strategist. Any ideas on what other strategy games would be worth playing?

[Dudebro]

Strategy games on RU or in general?

[TrakMastaTom]

If you're talking turn based strategy games like AW I would recommend Kartia for the Playstation. It's been forever since I played that game but it sure was awesome.

[Dudebro]

Brigandine (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine_%28video_game%29)
That's another great one to check out if you can find it. There's a newer version but it takes out a lot of the charm(cutscenes for battles and other stuff, became more anime).

There's many other good ones but I'll wait to see if you meant RU or not.

[StarfoxFan2009]

He meant either or. Personally i love playing any sports games or fighting games

This last week i have been playing my assorted hacks and also NBA Jam Tournament Edition

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

@Fenrir: Where are you at NSMBW? Are you planning to 100% it?
I'm the one doing all the hard work. he's just watching me do it and taking notes. I'm on that stupid ice world

[Kugyince]

Only world 3?

[StarfoxFan2009]

pretty much. My friend richard and i are double teaming it and i admit, i suck. i'm already at 10 continues

[Kugyince]

Wow, you do suck. Are you attempting to three coin everything as you go?

I would go back to World 1 and grab 50 or so free lives.

[StarfoxFan2009]

No we keep getting killed on the castle or falling off.

As for the free lives cheat, i'd rather try to beat the game without it first no matter how many continues i use

[Kugyince]

I'm not talking about any cheat. You realize you can go back to previous levels, right?

[StarfoxFan2009]

I'm aware of this, but i find that in order to get better, you try and try again until you beat it.

Although i may do it just to get it over with...

[Kugyince]

Last week I played more of Lego Rockband and a little bit of Okami.

We're very close to 100% in Lego Rockband. Everything acquired, two gigs left to play. Problem is one of those two gigs is a thirty song set. The other one is a three song set but it's not available until we finish the thirty song one....

Okami is going to be tough for a completionist like me. It's like Zelda on crack. Way too much to collect.

[Tails]

Okami?

[Kugyince]

Yes, Okami.

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

[Slime Slayer]

just finished off dq5 for ds last night, now that the last boss is dead, the seal on the bonus dungeon is broken so i just gotta go beat esturk and then ill have all the side quests done too. (i think)

[Kugyince]

@SC13: When does the new DQ release for the Wii?

[Slime Slayer]

holy guacaomole!!! I never even new 10 was going to be for wii!! I was just sittin here waiting for 9 for ds. I am one happy camper! If i was to speculate on a release date I'd guess not till at least 2011, but in all honesty I have no idea how far along it is, maybe a christmas 2010.
Ten you just made my year.

[Tails]

@Tenser: I am a completion freak as well. I am doing that with Disgaea 2 and already have 53% of all items ingame.

[Demon-Mask]

I am also a completion freak, but mostly with map percentage, in games like Castlevania. The 100% is never enough, I always have to try and find the glitches that get you completion beyond the max.

[Kong]

Last week I played Retro Uprising - Arcade - Bullfight (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/5049/)

[fenrir1887]

Trust me, I would do anything to complete some of my favorite games. Especially Super Mario Bros.

[TrakMastaTom]

Been playing some Genesis and NES games. Haven't played my 360 in a couple weeks. Been too busy to commit an hour to playing, 15 minute bursts these days.

Dick Tracy for Genesis
Aladdin for Genesis
Sonic 2 for Genesis
Bionic Commando for NES
SMB3 for NES
3-D World Runner for NES

[samejamesbond]

Last week I played Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, but i I still haven't beaten it yet.

[Kugyince]

Last week we (the wife and I) finished Lego Rockband.

I also played Okami, A Boy and his Blob, and New Super Mario Bros Wii.

[Slime Slayer]

Taking a second romp through Dragon quest monsters joker, I'm going dq crazy waiting for 9.

[fenrir1887]

I played Okami as well, plus Medal of Honor Frontline for the PS2, X-Men Legends, and Dynasty Warriors 4

[Demon-Mask]

I played Tekken 5 with some little kids for an hour or so, I forced myself to lose to them.

[Mareeps]

I played Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story.

[Kugyince]

Do you know about Dragon quest Monsters Joker 2?

[Slime Slayer]

no.....

---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Awsome, over 300 monsters to collect and breed sounds like it's going to be huge. Also this online multiplayer sounds like it might be more than just battles. Between this 9 and 10, my future looks very bright.

[Demon-Mask]

I played Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story.
That game is awesome, I really like the ability to play as Bowser, and become gigantic and fight castles and trains.

[fenrir1887]

Dude, try playing Tekken against a real fighting game freak. I occasionally return to Street Fighter 2: New Challengers.

[Demon-Mask]

Fenrir: I am a beast a Tekken, but I know when it is necessary to lose, which is when small children are involved.

[samejamesbond]

I wish I could learn that dicipline for Super Smash Bros. or Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

I can never not hold back for some reason.

[Dudebro]

Dude, try playing Tekken against a real fighting game freak.
I have, it's called ranked match. It's one thing to be good at Tekken but it's another thing to play it so much you drain all the fun out of it. Not saying you personally, just most people who take it way too seriously.

[Demon-Mask]

I wish I could learn that dicipline for Super Smash Bros. or Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

It's easy, set handicap in favor of the child (less than 100% health for you, more for the kid) and don't use many special moves or good combos.

[Kugyince]

I played a lot more than I normally do because of the contest this week.

Okami (Wii)
New Super Mario Bros (Wii)
A Boy and his Blob (Wii)
House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)
1945k III (Coin-op)
Sweet Home (NES)
Prince of Persia (SNES)
Battletoads (Gen)
Top Gear 3000 (SNES)

[fenrir1887]

Demon-Mask, children aren't serious about these things until they have had practice. I'm a serious Tekken fiend. Christie is one of my favorite characters. She has this ultra-deadly style called Capoeira. Still, I need to get that, King of Fighters, and DOA2 Hardcore.

[Dudebro]

Oh so you're one of those Tekken players.:teeth: I appreciate how cool the fighting style is but I don't think it belongs in Tekken. Anytime I get matched up with Eddy or Christie I do whatever I can to be as cheap as possible. If not I'll just get killed with cheap low attacks the whole fight. Either way it's not fun.

[fenrir1887]

There are good combos for both, but I have broken many of them by battling my cousins at the game and both are good with Eddy and Christy. Mostly use the Falcon Dice Kick to do it or counter with Christy myself.

[Tails]

Cheapness ftw? Saki might be tha tin TvC but she rocks without cheaping.

[fenrir1887]

So does Ryu of Street Fighter. There are fighting games out there with characters who rock without cheaping. DB, no disrespect for you or your methods, but I prefer a competitive fighter as an opponent. My brother occasionally kicks my butt on Brawl and so does my mother. I get frustrated by that frequently, but they are competitive.

[Dudebro]

I hate having to play cheaply. Characters like eddy force me to do it though. If I don't I'm overwhelmed by unfair attacks that unbalance the game. How many other Tekken fighters spend 99% of their time in a low position that prevents other players from using most of their moves?(mid or high moves go right over him)

Characters like Eddy and Bob ruin the fun of Tekken for me. I understand the desire to have variety in a game but it shouldn't be at the expense of balance. Soul Caliber has Voldo and he spends most of his time on the ground too but the other characters have many moves that are able to hit him. You have to be really good to excel with Voldo, you don't with Eddy. No offense to you personally.

[samejamesbond]

If you hate Voldo, you'll hate Dampierre.

[Tails]

I think DB and Fenrir should just hug and call it a day.

[Dudebro]

If you hate Voldo, you'll hate Dampierre.
Well I guess you didn't understand my point. I like Voldo, he takes skill to do well with. I hate Eddy/Christie because any noob can spam low attacks to win even against an experienced player.

@Tails- I'm not mad or anything. I'm just commenting on a game I love and know a lot about.

[samejamesbond]

That's what Im saying, he has crazy safe low attacks, and they're quick too.

[Tails]

I know you're not mad, I just think you guys should call it a day. Maybe have some girl hold a round 2 sign when it begins tomorrow.

[Dudebro]

That's what Im saying, he has crazy safe low attacks, and they're quick too.
Well yeah I'd probably hate him too.


I know you're not mad, I just think you guys should call it a day. Maybe have some girl hold a round 2 sign when it begins tomorrow."Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today"
Besides that it's not often that I get to talk about next gen games on RU. Any Tekken player knows that Eddy is a controversial topic with two clearly defined sides.

[ZedIsDead]

The current generation began in '05 or '06 with the Xbox 360. I think we can stop calling it "next gen".

This was a little while ago, but I finally beat Deus Ex: The Conspiracy(the PS2 port of the PC game). I've had it for years, but I got stuck and put it aside for the longest time. I regret that now, as it is a great game. Normally, I'm not into FPS games, but Deus Ex has a great story, and I love the open-endedness of it.

[Dudebro]

The current generation began in '05 or '06 with the Xbox 360. I think we can stop calling it "next gen".
We can but then it would cause confusion with some people. Until the next next gen comes out I'll keep calling it next gen. One more time, next gen.:lol:

[ZedIsDead]

Who cares if they're confused?

[Dudebro]

Who cares if they're confused?
Me? I prefer that people understand what I'm talking about.

[fenrir1887]

DB, there are always characters that make you fight cheaply. If Capoeira was so unfair, neither Christy nor Eddy would have been added. Still, if you don't like having to fight them, at least try them out and gain the upper hand against your opponents. Trust me on that they're good against those who don't think you're a challenge.

[Mareeps]

The past couple days, I played Super Punch-Out!!

I found the game at a used game store. Now if I only could get past Pistol Hurricane...

[Tails]

Why? Play it for free on here.

[Neutral]

Last week I mostly played Doom, because I am making some levels for it. However, I might end up scraping them as usual. Great way to waist your time.

The only positive side of my habit of furiosly redoing everything is that I learn something as i go.
So far it has taken me 3 years, on and of, to do a single playable map in Doom Editor.

Now I am aiming at getting it included in the yearly Community Chest, mostly because I need a motivation.
Its been 5 months since I set that goal, and guess what: I am still redoing my maps because I hate them and get bored.
However, I feel that I now know what I am doing good enought to be able to churn out a map which can meet my criterias.

It took almost 3½ years....
Obessive compulsive? Me?

[Mareeps]

Why? Play it for free on here.
It was pretty cheap, so I thought "why not?"

[Demon-Mask]

It isn't unfair, just unbelievably cheap. Everyone acknowledges that Heihachi is cheap, yet he is included in game after game.

I will admit that there's cheaper characters out there(even in Tekken) but in no way is Eddy fair when everyone else loses half there moves when fighting against him. I do know how to fight against that, it's call being as cheap as possible to get the match over with. Honestly I don't even care if I win versus Eddy anymore, I just hope I ruined the other guys fun since he ruined mine.

For the record I've been playing Tekken since the first one. I have played Eddy both on his own and when it comes up on Mokujin. I can see that he has cool moves but the problem is 99% of the people who play him only use the fast, cheap low hits that are hard to block or counter.
You're right that most people won't be ready for a good Eddy player, but that's only because of what I said above, most people play him cheaply and ruin any respect the character should have. Sorry but it's true.

I'm not trying to say you are a noob or a spammer I'm just relating my experiences with the character. It's one of the most frustrating experiences in my gaming history.

It isn't unfair, just unbelievably cheap. Everyone acknowledges that Heihachi is cheap, yet he is included in game after game.
Hey now, Heihachi hasn't been cheap since Tekken 1 when he was a boss. I've loved him in all the versions besides the newest one were they neutered him and he's half the fighter he used to be. He used to be such a beautiful fighter. I loved his ability to counter with devastating palm strikes and axe kicks.
I've never really heard of anyone complaining about him, why does he bother you so much?

Since I'm on the subject of Tekken I'd like to point out that Eddy has taken a back seat in cheapness with the addition of the new characters. It seems like Namco decided that barely dressed anime chicks and ridiculous metro sexual guys should be dominating all the other fighters with lighting fast attacks(even if they're about 500 pounds) and air juggles. This might be my last Tekken if the trend continues and I'm sad about that.

[fenrir1887]

My cousin Ryan tried that, DB. Believe me it took me 15 seconds to counter and wipe the floor with him after that. I was a complete noob the first time I trashed him.

[Mareeps]

Reminds me of the time when i played Soul Calibur 2 and spammed Raphael's high attack to win.

[Demon-Mask]

He really doesn't bug me, he can be cheap, but I guess if you spam any good attack, any fighter can be cheap. As a matter of fact he is my favorite fighter, but then again I've only played up to Tekken 5. I haven't played Tekken 6, nor do I plan on it, but how could they ruin Heihachi and make lame stereotypical characters the best in the game?

Because people seem to like retarded anime characters over badass old men. At least they improved Ganryu in the newest version.

[fenrir1887]

To hit me with low combos. He thought he was being slick until I hit him with the Falcon Dice Kick. Hwoarang's my second favorite character. He can dish out those much-needed counters where they really count.

[Demon-Mask]

Because people seem to like retarded anime characters over badass old men. At least they improved Ganryu in the newest version.
Does that mean they ruined Wang too? I like badass old men, like in the book I am writing, the main character is ultra-badass and is around 60, without badass old men it Tekken, the character would have never been the same.

[Dudebro]

To hit me with low combos. He thought he was being slick until I hit him with the Falcon Dice Kick. Hwoarang's my second favorite character. He can dish out those much-needed counters where they really count.
So what you're saying is you guys like the cheap characters?:lol: Eddy vs Hwoarang is like a spam fest. Good on you for beating him though, I would bet on Eddy in that match up. Hwaorang's pretty awesome(Baek is better!) but if he can't get a combo started he loses all his weapons.

Does that mean they ruined Wang too?
I don't play him but I think he got improved.

[Demon-Mask]

It's nice Wang got improved.

Don't forget Lee in the hall of cheap characters.

[Dudebro]

I don't see that one either. I think he's a good off shoot of Law. Kind of like how Ganryu is a good off shoot of Jack. Lee is annoying to lose to though, he's so metro.

[Mareeps]

It seems that the faster a character is in a fighting game, the cheaper he/she becomes. Like Meta Knight from Brawl.

[Tails]

Meta Knight is a joke.

http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/amg/games/drg100/g130/g13005wtthn.jpg If you haven't heard of this game, you aren't living under a rock, it's like the Stadium events of the PS1, extrememly rare in the us, not rare at all in europe. It's incredibly fun, you basically just command these loud mouth bean-like peopele and try to kill the other teams, there is so many combinations of customizable weapons to make it fun. Some just completely ridiculous. You basically build different combinations of blocks on your team block pad and break the blocks for the resulting weapon/vehicle/team buddy. Yes, I own an actual North american copy of this :cool:

What game had I played a lot on the N64 as a kid with my brothers... well a lot of them, but this one is just great. everything is destructable and it's fun being the little skull riders team with my brothers against a team of giant tanks known as the nuclear knights. My brother just bought this game :D

Okay, but where does that put characters like Cammy, Chun-Li, or even creepy Vega? Vega screams like a little girl!

butt buddies?

[fenrir1887]

Ok. Not the answer I would have thought of, but it's better than anything someone who puts in absolute despicable terms might think up.

I don't see that one either. I think he's a good off shoot of Law. Kind of like how Ganryu is a good off shoot of Jack. Lee is annoying to lose to though, he's so metro.
In Tekken 5, Lee has a kick combo that doesn't end, you keep pressing the button, and he keeps going, if you get someone against a wall, you can beat them with no chance of them fighting back.

How's that working out for you?

@Cam- I loved Battle Tanx so much. I also have fond memories of battling my brother and I think he liked the nuke knights. It's been a while but I liked the sentry guns, not sure if that was just an item or a team.

Yeah, that combo is easy to get started on top of being infinite. It isn't that hard to get away from though, just roll to the side when you hit the ground or side step between kicks(pretty hard but not impossible). If the person doesn't break the kick combo you'll be wide open to back throw or something equally devastating.

[Demon-Mask]

Or you could always wait to attack (thus activating neutral guard), until you see a break in any attack they will use, but this also ends in long standoffs.

[Dudebro]

I hate waiting to attack, I always end up timing my counter wrong and getting hit. I prefer to side step so I have a solid opening.

[Demon-Mask]

Good strategy.
This weekend I started playing the training missions in MGS, because my memory card hasn't arrived yet, so it would be useless to play the main game.

[fenrir1887]

Lee's kick combo is beatable if you know how. However, I generally prefer to avoid Lee if some idiot AI is behind him. They aren't the same as a skilled person.

I didn't have much time last week for gaming. I was also feeling pretty strung out on gaming after the team contest so I didn't get too much playing in.

New Super Mario Bros. (Wii) - Played with my son. Finally beat it. Now I've started to collect all the star coins.

Chess (Pogo) - Worked on a badge for my wife.

Asda Story (MMO) - Played only about 15 minutes of it.

House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii) - Played only about 10 minutes of it.

The guns you're thinking of are called 'Gun Buddies' and the team that used them was... 'Mech Maniacs'.

[Demon-Mask]

I played Metal Gear Solid for a total of around 2 hours. I got to Psycho Mantis.

[Kugyince]

Hours and hours of Asda Story....

[Mareeps]
