Yes, Finally finished Spider-Man's edge of time.
And currently playing: Clash of the Titans (it's very different than the 2010 movie even though the graphics and actors are the same images yet different voices.. Haha. That's my CONS there.) Lots of shit reviews on this game but I wasn't even bored the least... Sure, it's repetitive quests of gathering weapons and magic spells from Greek's famous monsters.. All because I'm a biiiggg nerd on anything Greek mythology stuff even if the game is pure shit.. DOn't expect high standard graphics like MW3 or anything. Sometimes the gameplay is what matters the most. |

Games beaten in 2012:
Sonic 2 (XBLA version) Call of Duty Black Ops In terms of just the campaign, 2nd CoD game I've ever played and 1st since the start of the Modern Warfare split. Besides some forced moments, it was pretty great and liked the Vietnam War parts the most. Going to spend the most time with Skyward Sword and Eternal Darkness as the main games for the rest of the month. |

Just beat Vanquish.
The graphics and art design is fantastic, the action set pieces are engaging, tense, and fun, and the game does a good job of pacing itself so you don't get burnt out. It's really short - only took 5 1/2 hours to complete, but it's a very solid shooter/action game. You could probably find it quite cheap now, so if you see it I recommend picking it up. Just picked up Velvet Assassin on clearance, so I'll be starting that shortly. |

Bioshock - 88
Story 18/20 Setting 20/20 Gameplay 15/20 Originality 20/20 Replayability 15/20 Just finished playing this last night and I can only agree with what the critics have said about it. It is an exceptionally solid game start to finish. The twists are wonderful and well done. I never once felt truly safe traversing Rapture, as the security systems, splicers and Big Daddies have a way of tearing you to shreds no matter how prepared you are. That is another thing I quite liked, the lack of ammo. They seemed to strike that perfect balance between Resident Evil where ammo conservation is important and Call of Duty where you seem to be a walking bullet hose at times. It found a nice niche right in the middle that even despite having some ammo, very very rarely was I not able to pick more up due to having capacity. The dreary setting they made and the musical score went together like peas and carrots. The setting I think is what made this game so good, based on Ayn Rand and her beliefs in Objectivism which I had previously been quite interested in before this game. It gave a look how a society driven on morals and the advancement of mankind without limitations or hindrances can still fall apart despite the efforts against it. What I found interesting and in the very least ironic, is the rejection of religion Ayn Rand and in turn Andrew Ryan (which I think was a clever way of referencing her) and there still being bibles found all over Rapture. Hell, even the name of the place itself is dripping with irony. And the first person you see I believe in Neptunes Fortune is a smuggler who is crucified... Anyways, the game has an incredible story which you can make as deep as you want by listening to the audio tapes (must have spent hours doing this myself) and drawing the conclusions from those with what you think happened that the games story doesn't tell you. Now, I gave it some perfect marks on a couple areas, so I will just elaborate on the ones I didn't. Story - Its far too black and white. The game is based on your choices and the consequences are just way too black and white. Contains end game spoilers SPOILER: show Gameplay - A crossbow having a higher damage output then a grenade launcher sort of irritated me since the crossbow bolts are ridiculously cheap in comparison and made the game after that far too easy for me as I play CoD a lot and have been using a sniper rifle to shoot people charging at me quite a bit. I don't think this would apply to a normal person who doesn't play shooters but I had to say it. Two other things, one was that sometimes hacking there wasn't a possible way to win. It happened only a handful of times and incidentally only when hacking safes but it was frustrating as you lose quite a bit of health or get security drones on you. Lastly, Every time you revived in a Vita-Chamber, the monsters didn't regain health. You only recovered a little bit yourself but through perseverance you could whittle away an enemies health and that I think was the biggest flaw in the game. During several fights, I saw splicers run to healing stations to get health back but NOT after you die. I suppose this would have made the game abnormally difficult at some points but it would have made sense if they had run to a healing station after they killed you and not just limped away. Replayability - Only reason I dropped it down was because after you know the twists, I don't think the experience would truly be the same. In conclusion, one of the most engulfing and well developed games I have ever had the pleasure to play. Games I finished in 2011 and 2012 (Long List) SPOILER: show Currently Playing: Mass Effect |

Games beaten in 2012:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (9.5/10) Bit.Trip Runner (10/10) UFC Undisputed 3 Redboxed this over the weekend. Pretty decent controls, though I'm horrible with transitions and submissions. Mostly try to keep headkicks flying and throw on a suplex every now and then. Disappointed that the career mode makes you retire after 11 years. REALLY disappointed that Ultimate Fights only has 4 fights without forcing you to get DLC. 7/10 |

Doing the last two or three missions require you to level up a bit to get different loadouts/abilities and I don't feel like playing it that much. It's not a bad game but the movement can feel a little clunky at times. I wish that you had to do more than hold one button when interacting with objects. Maybe rotate the analog stick, complete a quick time event, or something. Lack of communication from playing on PS3 didn't help either. But it's a fun co-op shooter. Could have used a few more missions I think but for however much I paid for it, it's pretty good. Although I'm not "done" with the sports games I've played enough to know what I see. I really enjoy Diamond Dynasty in The Show. At first I did. Now though, I think the rest of the teams are going to be overpowered cheaters. The system of using X amount of created players along with X amount of MLB players for only X amount of games and improving the created players to X amount of attributes for X amount of cash needs to be improved. I don't know how. I haven't spent enough time with the system yet but I'll think of something. The game itself is fine. As long as you have an hour to kill for each game. You COULD speed up the in game time by ignoring cutscenes, making the CPU throw more strikes, etc but if you tinker with those settings than it ruins the pitcher/batter battle which is really what baseball is all about. 2K is what it is. I'm starting to get sick of it though. I think it's the controls and the fact that I can never pass to who I want to.

I think you have to just spread out and keep moving forward while shooting to get to the other side of the bridge and not get fox holed into one spot.
I did the next mission a minute ago and I think we almost made it to the end but died. It's a stealth mission where you can do the whole thing without shooting if you're really good. Except we got found out like 1 minute into it. Haven't done the last one. |

Just beat Deus Ex : Human Revolution. Phenomenal game and finally a worthy sequel to Deus Ex. 10/10, easily best game of 2011 and probably 2012 as well.
Currently Playing: Castlevania : Lords Of Shadow. Control seems kinda awkward, stuck on the first "semi-boss", about 5 minutes into the game. Pretty frustrating. |

Sonic 2 (XBLA version) Call of Duty Black Ops Portal (Xbox 360 Orange Box version) Been playing this sporadically for the last couple of years and just got around to completing it.

Gonna look up some how-to's on achievements for BioShock 2 and then give it another long-awaited playthrough. Honestly not even that excited at all for BioShock Infinite. Guess it's because the Rapture 1959 and 1969 from the first two, as well as the characters, gameplay and story have made me see them through rose-colored glasses, whereas I percieve this new game may be only average at best by my personal standards.

Playing through Spider-Man : Edge of Time. It's pretty enjoyable. Game play is pretty repetitive, but the story is fun.
TBH, it's hard not to compare any superhero game against Arkham, which blows everything else out of the water. The Amazing Spider-Man game adaptation looks promising. Also playing UFC 3. It's fun, and I prefer the submission system to the 'shinning' crap from the last game. I'll probably just play it for a week and sell it on though. |
