This is valuable advice, I wish someone would have imparted it to me before it was too late.

Mainly been playing Raiden Fighters Aces, but I've got a 4-day weekend coming up and nothing planned, so I'm thinking of picking up something more substantial. Haven't done Fallout 3 yet, so that's a good possibility.

Final Fantasy IX is good! But not worth fighting over.
Only Kingdom Hearts is worth fighting over because that's how bad it is.

Recently beat Bioshock on hard with no vita chambers.

Trying to 1cc Salamander 2, still.

Almost 1ccing Streets of Rage 2, but the game is so long (like, 3x longer than most arcade beat 'em ups I've played) that I don't know if I'll have the will to bother.

Liking SWAT4 a lot; I think I'm nearing halfway through. So tense. More proof that there need to be more PC FPSes without quicksave.

And then there's the usual SF4 and VOOT.

Assasin's Creed is a good game. Do as few missions as possible then move on to the next area. It's definitely worth playing, but they padded it too much.

Or, if you're patient, turn off the whole GUI. Assassin's Creed becomes far more interesting and immersive when you're actively exploring the environments and actually using lookout points to scout for missions and events, rather than just heading towards icons on your minimap.

zzzzzzz

Been putting some time into Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the DS. When I first heard about it and that it was going to only use the stylus to control the entire game I was mega skeptical but it sounded interesting. When I saw it for a 5 spot a few weeks back I grabbed it. And I'll be damned but I'm enjoying it more than I did Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360.

It's kind of a breeze on normal, but it's a ton of fun on hard! I was really surprised too! I like it a lot.

I love the environment in AC, but the AI doesn't require you to explore/scout in advance.

I am currently playing with KOF's mom. I'll be done here shortly, who wants next?
