What have you beaten recently? What are you playing?

Finished Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.

Fun game. I like the western theme and the gunfights. The game did seem a little too easy though even on hard. Too bad the multiplayer is pretty much vacant.

I really enjoyed that one. Now you are going to make me want to play it again. I like the time period and starting in the battle was pretty cool.

I also liked the time period. I wish there were a little more leeway in how you have to resolve some situations. Sometimes the storyline didn't seem to match up. Like having to shoot up the entire town to escape when the brothers would have known that was a sure way to NOT be able to reclaim your home.

Starting in the battle was actually the hardest part of the game. I kept dying throughout the entire battle scene, over and over. Once the story moved into the wild west theme it seemed to get easier. Although it took me about a dozen times to win my first gun fight. After that it took me no more than 2 try's.

Want to hear something funny? I never used bullet time until about 80% of the way through the game and never played the older brother (the one with 2 guns) unless I had to. Even when I played that brother I only used the slo-mo shooting once or twice. I completely forgot about it and had to check the manual as to why the indicator in the top right kept changing and then counting down.

LOL!

EDIT: If you do fire it up again we should duel or try some of the other multiplayer modes.

If I can find it that would be cool. I never played multiplayer with it. Just have to figure out if it was one of the games I traded away. It isn't in my stack so I'm thinking it was.

I actually only used the older brother. I didn't care much for using the younger brother if I remember correctly. I don't remember there being a particular reason for it though.

Got back into Forza 3 on xbox 360 now that i have live again.

I finally beat Fallout 3 GOTY Edition, and have been chipping away at Fallout: New Vegas, Borderlands, & Just Cause 2. So many quality games, so little free time...

Just beat Eternal Sonata on the PS3 last night. Took a while as things are getting busy again.

Was a pretty good game. I liked the battle system, but every battle was a tank and spank, so there wasn't any point in using anyone but your most powerful characters, characters that can build up another character, or a healer. I wish there was a bit more strategical battles, or at least ones that made you think a bit more.

The enemy variety was a little lacking. It was mostly palette swaps of the same few creatures. But honestly I didn't really notice, as every enemy pretty much plays the same.

I make it sound bad by reading it but I really did enjoy it for what it was. I kept a save before the final bosses so I can go back and do the bonus dungeon some time along.

Now to choose Valkyria Chronicles, Metal Gear Solid 4, Bayonetta, or Nier for my next adventure. Hmmm. . .

Well this is what Ive spent my last two weeks playing. Have one head-to-head challenge left but damns he tough.

GRID

Game is a few years old but its quite fun and pretty realistic. Only annoying thing I found was the teammate that you hire to race for your team. You'd think a teammate is their to help win, but no, I think he messed me up more than anyone. A few times we would be fighting for first place, then he comes a long and totally hits me and I get wiped out. Like wtf..

You mean there's no "make my teammate let me pass him" button like in F1?

[NightrainSrt4]

Beat Bayonetta on Normal. Pretty fun game. The fiance didn't care for all the sexual overtones, but I really liked the game. It felt a lot like Devil May Cry to me, which after looking it up isn't surprising.

It is a very short game though. But it feels like one of those games you play over and over, not to beat, but to perfect.
