Just finished ODST on solo Heroic. Definitely recommend your first time on solo Heroic, it's hard for the first couple of levels but then you get better at it. Great game, maybe my favourite Halo game. Now to do co-op Legendary.

done with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
I left the game, over a year ago in the middle of a fetch quest. I poped it back into my PSP recently, and after speaking to every freakin person in the Slums and Midgar, the story finally starts to progress again, and for Frak's sake, i suddenly realise its nearly the end of the game.
Not a bad game gameplay wise, though the DMW system for Limit Breaks, Summons and Level up a little inconsistant. I remember there being long periods were i wouldn't go up a level, and then over the span of a battle, i'd go up 3. Same for the Summons, they rarely activated in the battles were they would have been usefull, instead, coming across in battles that were either already over or going to be a pushover to being with.
Still, it was a kinda fun game. _________________

Finished Saints Row 2 on PS3. Well finished the main storyline missions. Still slightly bummed that you don't even get a credits sequence. Still a fun game though. _________________ RIP Buddha 19/10/1952 - 03/01/2004

just finished drakes fortune. man that game was awesome, last boss had me raging a tiny bit though. especially when you knock the gun out of his hand while he tries to reload, get your ass kicked, then he picks it up and proceeds to shoot you with the previously unloaded gun.
i didnt know whether to lol or cry.
oh well, back to catching up on the gems of the ps3. _________________

Completed Persona 4 at last, it took just over 70 hours to finish, that includes the true ending. An absolutely phenomenal game it was, perhaps even jumping into a spot on my all time favourites. After playing Persona 3 and thoroughly enjoying that I pretty much knew I would enjoy Persona 4, but what I didn't know is that I would enjoy it more then Persona 3.
Seeing as the game is so focused on social interactions I think I should start there. I love the characters, pretty much everyone with the exception of one, who's name will not be mentioned, but he may or may not be a bear. The synergy between characters is pulled off brilliantly, and the social links add even more depth and story to each person. The game actually made me enjoy each and every social link and conversation simply because the characters are so well written and likable. And I will admit it, my eyes watered at the end of the game, perhaps proving that this man isn't quite as masculine as we would have you believe.
Now onto the combat. Its purely turn based, which is fine by me, as I had a blast in every random encounter. I always opted to go 'Direct Command' as I found the AI just wasn't doing what I wanted, you can also set up your strategies a lot easier this way. All the enemies are interesting if not a little on the wacky side, and I found the AI particularly challenging as there was a number of occasions I was slapped in the face by a Stagnant Air/Evil Smile/Ghastly Wail combo, which just goes to show these enemies know what they are doing. All the characters play their role well, but some become useless as you get more teammates. I went through most of the game with a Yosuke/Yukiko/Kanji team, which worked wonders. Yukiko as my main healer and magic damage dealer, Kanji as my hard hitter, and yosuke somewhere in between.
The story is fantastic, but was a little confusing in places. I had my suspicions of who the true culprit was, I turned out to be right, but only about the killer, the rest came out of no where. The game hands you clues along the way, but also tries to throw you off the scent. The bad ending wraps things up quickly, without answering many questions, the normal ending throws a huge and clever twist your way, and the true ending throws yet another twist on you. I personally preferred the normal ending, as it wrapped things up nicely, and made more sense then the true ending for me.
Hmm, I think I got carried away, I could have just said I liked the game.

That last game?
Infamous and Eternal Sonata at around the same time.
I was pretty happy with Infamous, although I was surprised that the last boss was easier than some of the earlier ones.
Eternal Sonata, like most JRPGs, was convoluted. But it didn't get me too lost, and I think I understand the ending hehe. _________________ Playing: Fallout: New Vegas

Just completed Ninja Blade on 360. This game is so so compared to NG2. A bit disappointed with it but it did offer some fun.

Dead Space: Extraction
One of the best looking and playing, as well as polished, titles on the Wii. A little on the short side but otherwise utterly fantastic.
Not only does it feel like a totally authentic Dead Space game, but it feels like a total package. Animations and scripted scenarios amazing, while the game narration and method of story-telling is some of the best I've seen in a videogame ever.
I'm extremely impressed with this game. Dead Space fans are doing themselves a disservice if they pass on this game. The numerous ties to the overall Dead Space plot, as well as the adventures of Issac in the original, are everywhere.
Highly recommended. _________________

After buying Wolfenstein on my birthday (21st of August) this year I can say I have finally finished it. Ill admit it shouldnt of taken this long as I have been sidetracked with Madden 10 but im glad its over. It wasnt a bad game but it really started to drag on towards the end and started to remind me a bit of FarCry2. The story is your typical Nazi's trying to take over the world and BJ trying to foil their plans once again. Gameplay was pretty good and the graphics were quite impressive (for an old engine) Apparently this game picks up after Return to Castle Wolfenstein so if you played and liked that game be sure to try this one out as well.
Now I can move onto Batman and ODST before MW2 and Uncharted 2 come out. _________________

Wolfenstien SP was ok. I did finding myselft using the one gun most of the time and it did get boring near the end. The multiplayer was terrible though.

I didnt even bother with MP, and your right I used one gun for most of the game except the end boss section which required me to use a few.
Wasnt bad but I doubt I will ever play it again so off to EB to gain credit for MW2 you go! _________________

Ashes Cricket. In that I completed an entire Ashes series. Very good cricket game, highly addictive and of the small collection of games I have the one that is getting more game time. _________________

Wolfenstein (2009) was a fairly fun game, that was until it went all Far Cry on me and monsters started appearing... _________________
