Protip: the knight with the red hair can complete the whole first half of the game by herself. Don't let her.
These games are always trying to bait me into abusing super powerful pre-promoted starting units. It's borderline hateful.
Near the end of the game I had her hanging in the back guarding the wagon and she was whining to the wagon driver about how she always gets left behind. That's what you get, experience stealing whore.
Been also playing:
Singularity (360) - FPS's are a dime a dozen but this just had a weird allure to it that I had to check out, it's also pretty darn cheap new on ebay/Amazon too which helps. It's atmospheric and while the comparisons to Bioshock are fairly apt in certain areas it still feels like it's own shooter/story. I'm kind of early into so I haven't gotten the time warping device yet but so far I've been having quite a bit of fun with it.
DmC (360) - Been wanting to play this for the longest time so I broke down and bought it for around $30, if they release some sort of special edition with all the DLC then fuck it but I've been having a real blast with it. Graphics are gorgeous, the story so far retells Dante/Virgil's past differently and obviously in a different style but it's still well done and this Dante still has a lot of character within the game. Combat isn't really as frequent as the previous DmC's and I have some small issues with the mechanics (no lock on, moves using the same buttons, etc) but overall it's definitely up there with Metal Gear Rising, hell it may even beat it.
Fable III - I like the game's aesthetics and it has a lot of charm to it but for some reason I just can't commit to playing it for hours at a time. Sometimes I fall asleep while playing it which is probably has more do with me playing it late after playing a bunch of shooters and hack & slash games but it just hasn't grabbed me fully yet.
Forza Horizon - Still loving this game, looks great and the single player season stuff has kept me busy for a good long while now.
I just finished playing through Link to the Past tonight. This is still the best Zelda game, but I've played it so many times over the years that I still remember where 90% of everything is so the exploration factor is gone.The whole faerie/bottle thing breaks the difficulty, so I was basically on autopilot the whole game.
The only DLC is Vergil's Downfall and some cosmetic stuff. Bloody Palace is a free download.Quote:

Starting to play Shadow Warrior. I don't like save/load stuff and it really bites you in the ass in this game (at least I am saving at the start of every level, although I wish these new Steam ports would do that for you--including letting you specify your starting health/ammo/weapons, but that is more of a pipe dream). The later Build games were incredibly tough.
Not sure if you're into arbitrary difficulty, but back in the day nintendo power had these crappy trading cards with challenges for games. The LTTP challenge was basically a minimal runthrough, main things being no bottles, level 2 sword, green armor, 12 hearts. It was actually a bit tricky with the final ganon killing you in 3 hits. LTTP is also my favorite zelda, so I took any excuse to play the game again.Quote:

It goes back and forth over this line where it can't seem to decide if it wants to be movie-serious or comic-book silly, where it starts off feeling a lot like the X-Men movies and then suddenly GIANT ROCK MONSTER and no one says a damn thing like this is most normal thing to occur in the middle in the jungle. The leveling up and double-jump are also weirdly videogame-y considering how much they seem to be going for a feel closer to the "real" side, but whatever, I'm over thinking it. It's good times.
Sonic CD - You know what game doesn't hold up for shit? Sonic CD. Woof.
