Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - beautiful remake and a joy to play
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny - I know this isn't really a "campaign" type of game but that gauntlet mode is such a piece of crap and brutally long...

about to finish FFIII and DQVIII finally... wooo.... 7 years... :lol:
I beat the Halo CE remake. I thought the HD facelift got rid of a lot of the monotomy that I hated so much about the first Halo game

Dragon Quest VIII was such a good game. Are you going to try and pick up where you left off six years ago, or start all over again. I am the type of person who has to start all over again, because I forget most everything. Also, sometimes when I start over, I am able to remember some things from before and that helps speed up my progress a bit.

I'm continuing my existing game, 'cause I've been playing it actively the past couple months, so it's still fairly familiar to me. And before that, I'd get maybe 10 hours in every 3 or 4 months, so I've prevented it from getting stale. Even though I've been playing the same playthrough since it came out in 2005, I still love playing the game and get a lot of entertainment out of it. Beautiful graphics, charming art, music, characters, and an engaging overworld and monsters, etc. This is one game that'll never get old.

Currently I'm a little over 200 hours and my character levels are all 51-53 I think. I spent a couple saturday afternoons battling the metal slimes on the hillside where they frequent, and gained maybe 10-15 levels just doing that. Those metal king slimes hand out 30k xp! Now I just gotta zip through the Black Citadel and make short work of Rhapthorne. Thanks to being overlevelled I don't have to struggle much.

Playing DQVIII over a long period of time has been easy since the storyline is, fortunately, incredibly basic and easy to follow. I like it when games are simple. I'm kind of dreading getting back to my FFVIII playthrough for that reason.

I finished Tales of the Abyss on 3DS... lol
the game is just so addicting, other than some random pointless fillers (like go to point A, cutscene, go to point B, cutscene...) and an extremely slow beginning storywise, I have not much to complaint about this game. :)

Demon's souls. After this I'm never playing another FROM Software title again. Listen here NG+ should not be a punishment for finishing the game damnit. Sure it had it's really exiteing and epic moments and the design from the art direction to the level design was top notch but crap having them play the same areas over and over again just changing the dificulty settings and adding a few new enemies that's going too far. I don't mind a challenge but this game is for masochists, no offense.

Uncharted 3 - I cannot think of a singlething wrong with this game. It is flawless. That is how good it is. The story is great, and you care about the characters. They are very likable. Th voice work is on par with the rest of the game, which is to say extremely good. The animation is some of the best you will ever see. The situations it puts you in will stick with you long after the game is done because they are so intense. This game is a masterpiece. It is the best in a trilogy of masterpieces. Go play it. Now. 10/10

I had only two complaints with Uncharted 3.

1. All of the Masonic junk.
2. How silly it is that nearly every ledge collapses in this game. Not a single piece of solid architecture to be found. :lol2:

I kind of expected the second one. Uncharted 1 and 2 were like that, too.

I finished Resident Evil: Revelations as of yesterday :)
it's a great game but the story takes a bit too much time to kick off and too many new characters are thrown at us at the same time. That and there's not enough enemy variety, the gameplay is solid though and the story is decent.

I just finished FEAR: Extraction Point, the first expansion for FEAR. I do not know if I should count it as a game, though. It is part of FEAR Files for the 360. It comes with he other FEAR Expansion, Perseus Mandate.

I finished Lollipop Chainsaw this afternoon. I really liked this game. Suda51 may be trying a bit too hard to be weird for the sake of being unique, but I still love it! Originality is king in the land of safe, by the numbers, been there and done that video games.

I actually enjoyed how short this game is. LC is just long enough to keep tossing out some new ideas without getting boring. The replay value is really high as a result of the short length, leaderboards, increased difficulty, and unlockable costumes, etc... I played enough to get both endings, which required that I replay a couple of story chapters to rescue classmates that I hadn't saved the first time. I also managed to beat "dad's score" on a few stages too.

LC is a great weekend game. It can be finished in a sitting or two, but it's the extras that will make me want to go back and play it again sometime.

I just finished FEAR: Perseus Mandate. It has problems. It tries to render larger outdoor environments, and the engine running the game cannot handle it. The end result is that these environments are less detailed o the point where it is distracting and can pull you out of the game. Instead of upgrading the already good enemy AI, the developer just gave a lot of the enemies more powerful weapons. You take damage quicker. You need slow mo for just about every fight in the game. You have to spend a lot of time sitting and waiting for your slow mo to recharge. It throws off the pace and flow of the great FEAR firefights. This game, also, has serious difficulty spikes. It will suddenly ramp the difficulty a shitload firefight or two and then settle it back down. That is not fun. It is frustrating. I would give it a 6 or a 6.5.


One more thing. Why is this expansion pack longer than any Call of Duty from Modern Warfare 1 onward?! come on fps developers. That should not happen
