SMB is playable with the keyboard, but I definitely feel like I could use a controller. Meanwhile, I liked Cogs enough that I bothered to get all of the stars.
Replaying through Uncharted 2 just for fun. Already beaten the game like four times, so I'm pretty familiar with it It's just something I can do quickly and easily, since I needed it today.
And having recently beaten Scott Pilgrim and Shank, still going down the downloadable game track and started Braid today. I can definitely see why people loved it so much when it came out a couple years ago. And it has gotten pretty tough, but I did still manage to get through World 4 with only three incomplete levels, most levels I got on the first try. I'm interested to see what the last two worlds have in store. And just like with Flower, the music really makes the game.
It's pretty damn fun. I recommend it. But at this point it's only 24 days until the Steam Sale, so you may or may not want to wait until then to save a couple bucks.
I still lack a controller, so I haven't played Super Meat Boy that much yet. It's a difficult problem; the new Xbox 360 one would probably be my best choice, but it will be quite a while before that's out in Australia.

Yeah, I plan on getting it on the 360. I am also planning to get Limbo eventually too, which is good because right now there is a deal on XBLA where you buy 2 games and get 400 points back.
Pirates of the Burning Sea just went free to play. Does anyone know much about this game or if it differs enough from any other MMO to warrant playing?
I am in shock right now, throughout the game I kept expecting some of the mysteries to be solved, but no, all I get is a massive cliffhanger. NOTHING IS EXPLAINED. It's like I just played Lost combined with Professor Layton.
Looking back on 2010 I have done a good job at clearing out my backlog and sticking to my rule of not buying additional games over $10 unless they are "multiplayer flavor of the week" and need to be played now or else there will be no friends playing it when I decide to. (Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands).
I stil have 20 games in my backlog but it's the $10 and under titles that keep distracting me! Catching games like Super Meat Boy and Scott Pilgrim on sale, a free copy of Rock Band 3 that has had many hours put on it, etc. This weekend I decided to start playing the original Fallout of all things! Only $6 on GoG.
Edit: Also, putting down the damn iPhone has made me enjoy games a lot more. I went through a long phase where I was playing games on the iPhone because of its convenience, but I've taught myself to put down the damn phone and pick up the DS. The iPhone games always felt hollow and made me feel like I just wasted my time, but beating DS games feels rewarding.

I played it in beta and a little bit afterwards. It had a bit of promise but the age of sail combat was lacking, there was far too much running around on beaches. Not enough economics simulation in my opinion.
Then again it were sold to me as "EVE, but in the Antillies!"

The extent that "long tail" economics has been applied to the MMO market astonishes me. Are all of these titles, whether free to play w/ microtransactions or not free w/ a monthly fee, actually turning a profit by just slicing a miniscule share off of the WoW mega-market? I just didn't know there were that many MMO players out there to warrant it, but I must have underestimated people's love of clicking.
Stop all presses. All four Oddworld games coming to PC this month for the first time ever! I've already got Oddysee and Exoddus but never had a working Xbox 1 so Munch and Stranger will be fun.

It's certainly good but I definitely get the feeling Chime 2 will be the for-real version. They really need to work on improving feedback as, while it's fun, theres stuff I didn't even realise was happening.
Came down with some nasty cold/fever and spent the day at home yesterday. I think I previously mentioned that I grabbed the original Fallout off of Good Old Games, since I've never played a Fallout game before. Got to spend a lot of time with it and am enjoying it very much!

It's been a long time since I've played rally games and it makes a nice change.

So is Super Meat Boy really that awesome? How is it on the 360? It's pretty much a platformer, right?
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK JUST HAPPENED
