Local store didn't have any XBox slims. I'm reconcile to buying online, but that's probably for the best. I just got NS installed and will try it out once I get my RealID stuff in place.
Snagged a bootleg of Puzzle Quest 2 to give it a whirl. It's more of the same - Computer is somehow miraculously able to chain together multiple combos with 4-gem matches, leaving you to pick your nose and wait for your turn while it thrashes you about the head, neck and shoulders taking its extra turns. Doubt I'll be picking this one up for real.
Character art was done by, Katsuya Terada, the same guy who did these old Zelda arts: Which should be combined with Collosus level design to make the next Zelda.
Whilst doing research for XBox 360'age online, I noticed a Microsoft store in Mission Viejo (a town about 20 miles south of me). I drove my happy ass down there and got the new "slim" XBox (I wish for a better name), Red Dead Redemption, FFXIII, and Brutal Legend. Gaming is ON!
Feel free to add me on XBox live. Dromaro is the tag. I'll get my IDShare set up when I'm not drinking white russian and wiring up the new XBox.
I've been playing Civ IV Colonization, I'm a bit let down at to what they are defining as a "Huge" map, I remember the original having the normal map, that being all of America, and Huge being twice as big.
Somehow after wrapping up Prof. Layton 2 & Contra 4, I got sucked into playing Clubhouse Games for a few days, and now I know the rules to way too many mundane card games. Been on a real roll beating DS games from my pile of shame. 4 down in the past two months, now all that's left is: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Hotel Dusk Final Fantasy IV The World Ends With You Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Retro Game Challenge
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for DS, again. The game's difficulty is deceptive because there are many paths to take which aren't available to you early on, but this isn't made obvious by any means other than the game beating the shit out of you. Also, many of the bosses are deceptively hard as well. For example, the giant skeleton and the giant crab that I've had to fight can both be beaten trivially not by any remarkable skill, but simply by pulling meta bullshit and hiding in a single spot where they can't hit you. Basically, if you try to beat a boss using dexterity/agility/timing type of gaming, you loose no matter what because the boss attacks are so big. But if you find a little spot on the screen where you can simply move to where they never hit you, you win. It's actually easier than I thought, but I'm so used to playing older style Castlevania games, that my old skills were hurting me rather than helping me. I'm not entirely sure I like this type of gameplay, but I'm plugging on.
Also, many of the bosses are deceptively hard as well.
The Frankenstein Monster wasn't deceptively hard, that guy was practically yelling "I am going to be a major pain in your ass with my super overpowered punches" as soon as the fight began.
I hated that guy so much and relished when I finally killed his annoying ass.
Why the hell didn't you say that when it was still on sale?
I must admit I keep hoping there will be a sale with it for 2 to 5 dollars.. It's actually criminal that I did not buy this yet considering how much I loved the original bionic Commando :-p
