Playing Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. It's the fast food of the DW franchise with short missions and crazy air acrobatics. Lock-on system saves the horrible camera, but the 360 version has occasional framerate issues not in the PS3 ver. There are a few too many systems for upgrading your guy and his weapons, gets confusing, but AI for your teammates are actually pretty good if you aren't playing online. Orochi 2 is still best of series though.
And just starting on Lost Planet 2. It's kind of... yeah.

It seems pretty short, I was crowned within 10 hours, I expected the bulk of the game to be trying to get the crown, but instead it looks like you spend a lot of time actually ruling your kingdom. If you liked the previous games you'll like this one, but it doesn't make any radical changes that would draw new people in.Originally Posted by Drewbacca

It's very underwhelming, I make no bones. But I absolutely love the atmosphere they have crafted in-game. Very dry and British.
Sounds like a rental.

Vanquish. It's fun.
Deadstorm Pirates (PS3) - Included in Time Crisis: Razing Storm/Big 3 Gun Shooting.
I've never been able to find an actual DSP cab, so this one's a completely new game to me. The Wheel Actions work nicely with the Move controller. Comparisons to Let's Go Jungle are definitely on target- a couple places have bug swarms somewhat like the Terror Bites in TC4. The great classical style BGM is performed by the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra. The PS3 version seems like it might be fun to dual-wield sometime, since all you need on each gun is the trigger (can't say that for the mounted guns on the arcade cab). Move > Guncon 3. With Move, there's no need to stand 5 feet back from the screen.
If you're playing the Ranking Mode- save the Mountain Stream for last so you don't burn up your 3 continues too early. IMO this stage is the hardest out of all of the selectable 4.
Finished in 2021: 8 games (PC: 4, PS4: 2, PS3: 1, X1: 1)

Bayonetta, what a fun game even with it's ridiculous sense of.. style? And sexuality.
Also Etrian Odyssey III still, I've been stuck on the third stratum way longer than I'd like.
Ha ha
Castlevania Lords of Shadow (PS3) - Stunningly beautiful but fairly shallow gameplay. The combat has a heavier, more solid feel than God of War but is nearly as brainless and unfulfilling. Like God of War, it often feels like I'm going through the motions just to get to the next cool looking part. LoS is somewhat redeemed by a more comprehensive package of gameplay but this is not the Castlevania reboot I'd have preferred. Not bad by any means but it doesn't do the justice to its lineage as Other M did for its. I'll plan on completing it and then selling it shortly thereafter.

I discovered the way to enjoy Lost Planet 2 was to shout "FUCK YOU!" loud enough to have your neighbors reaching to dial 911, giving yourself a hour to cool down, and just accept the bullshit wrapper on its creamy nougat gameplay. It's amazing how many bad decisions there are on the surface layer, but when you dig up a broken mech and just raw dawg your way through the lair of the jungle pirates, skipping the horrible cut-scenes along the way, it's paradise. Also, change the control config. The default is fucking terrible.

I've been on a PC gaming kick since it's so damn convenient and cheap.
Right now I'm starting to dick around with Civ V but it starts out so damn boring. It seems like you're just making turns pass over and over at the start just so shit can get built.
Time to ride the crazy chair!
You're doing it wrong. Build a scout or two.
