7) Crysis (PC)
Finished on Delta difficulty. The VTOL level "Ascension" is very aggravating, so it's no surprise that one got pulled from the console ports. Damn those tornadoes.
I had the suit controls mapped to numpad keys 1-2-3-0 since that's easier to use than the mouse menu. That can't be changed from key bindings in-game, so the actionmaps.xml needs to be edited with Notepad. (Major Slack, "Hacking a better Crysis")

This was, more than anything, a way for me to get my girlfriend used to dual analog stick controls. If it's not something you've always been doing its a seriously difficult thing to get used to. Stats and skills in this game made it so that people with not a lot of FPS grace could get through the game and have a good time if they've got somebody who wastes too much time on games like this with them. Luckily, she's got me and my soldier, "Gumption."
We've all seen through the end of this game many times by now, but I see what all of you mean by how much fun this is co-op. Also, the Claptrap DLC was a blast. Far more fun than General Tedious' story. I'm glad I got a chance to play it.
That reminds me of trying to play Max Payne 1 on a demo Xbox, I spent most of the time staring at the ground since it was so alien. Ironically, the PC version is what taught me mouse+keyboard controls since it didn't work with my Wingman Warrior stick.
4. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate.
95% done, just missing a few bestiary entries and a handful health/magic/ammo pickups. Really, really dug the story, can't wait for LOS2.
I think chux has convinced me to get this, despite my dislike for the demo.
8) Crysis Warhead (PC) Very High/1920 x 1200
Finished on Delta. LOL @ the level titled "From Hell's Heart" where your framerate takes the Hell Express. There's even a bit of FPS dipping on an i7-920 2.66GHz/GTX580 1.5 GB combo, but overall the setup is fine.
5: Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm.
Campaign completed on normal, story was alright, Kerrigan is broken. Want to see what happens next, etc.
11) Little Inferno - Finishing this "game" makes me feel like an asshole for participating in this thread.
That's about all I have to say about that.
7) Bit.Trip Runner 2- I don't know why I really enjoyed this one as much as I did, seeing as so much of the game is rote memorization based on repeating actions over and over until you get them right. Beat all 100 levels with all gold bars collected, normal difficulty. Found most of the bonus levels too, and plan to go in with a list to get the six I'm missing, but no way am I combing the game for them at this point.
There was some kind of weird multiple personality disorder going on with the game. On the one hand most of the character designs and level art didn't fit the theme very well. Volcano, beach, and forest levels just kind of sat there with no visual style. It wasn't until the final area, which was the original style, that there was anything that looked like someone cared about designing it. The sad attempts at humor were completely unfunny as well. It's like someone forced a retarded marketing department on the developers, or maybe they thought they were being clever. Either way, there's a lot completely wrong with the tone of the game, even though the run/jump/slide gameplay feels perfect.
