I think it is official. My favorite Metroid game is Cave Story.

I don't know why I waited so long. It's really good. It's old school gameplay but they've given it the pacing of a modern game. Story advanced quickly and there's plenty of save points. Very well done.

Both ICO and Colossus are among my favourite games ever and I count myself as a big fan of Fumito Ueda's work.  The announcement and promise of The Last Guardian was what made me decide to buy a PS3 instead of a 360 back in the day.  While I don't by any means regret getting a PS3, I will be very upset to say the least if The Last Guardian is cancelled.  I hope all parties responsible get their heads out of their asses and work together to bring the game to completion and make it available for gamers to play




Okay several then. Nyaa I was only 1 off!

Don't care about Ico. I tried it, and after an hour or two put it away forever. Still haven't played SotC. I'm sure I'll get to it at some point.

On another note, for those who are potentially interested in WayForward's new game "Mighty Switch Force" I've given it my approval. The gameplay driving mechanic (the block switching) is pretty simple and yet they've turned it into an amazingly solid puzzle platformer. The graphics are handled as lovingly as anything WF has done in 2-D. There is very minimal story here though. It's basically a bunch of individual levels set up in a time-attack style.  Just capture criminals and try to beat the best time. But some of the levels are maddeningly hard and even just gettng past the 16 levels without getting the goal time will probably keep you busy for hours. For $6 its worth every penny.

So after you finished it? Twice.

No, no. That's in "Ico Time." It was probably only 5 or 10 minutes, but it felt much much longer.

Oh I finally rented a copy of Fortune Street today. Holy crap that is fun. It's an excellent board game. I wouldn't buy it at full price (well maybe I will), but eventually I will own this. A lot of the reviewers clearly did not know how to play it. They kept talking about how single games would last hours and hours. Even on the hardest settings I don't see how anything could go over 3 hours. My guess is they were treating it like Monopoly and ultimately didn't understand how it works. Love it!

GladOs DLC for defense grid is all kinds of awesome. It's harder than the regular game, but it's amazing to have her voice nagging you constantly and mocking your "strategic" choices.

Peace Walker!  This game goes way beyond what I actually expected it to be.  First, the tutorial was awesome, great way to get acquainted with the control scheme.  The comic book cutscenes?  I don't mind them at all.  They're actually pretty cool.  I love the Big Boss story, I love seeing people like Miller again.  This era is actually more interesting and fun to follow than Solid Snake's.  It's just old school Cold War missions, none of this sci-fyey silliness that is all we see in MGS 4.  This is great so far.

In a field of white he takes her life,

and the sky cries tears of red;

At that moment one Boss is born,

as the other lies down dead.

...the credits roll on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

One of the best endings I have had the pleasure of experiencing in my years of gaming. I don't care if everything Kojima ever does anymore is shit or not. This game will always grant him a free pass from me.

It's funny that the final bosses were so terrible, yet the ending still managed to be great. Hooray for cutscenes.

True. Most of the MGS series bosses range from meh to shit, actually.

It wasn't my intention from the very beginning, but I managed to do my very first completely non-lethal play-thru of a Metal Gear game. Made the encounter with The Sorrow rather uneventful, but it gave me a pretty good feeling of accomplishment at the end. Found myself unable to pull the trigger of The Patriot, but realized there was no other way to finish the game.

*Speaking of finishing: Snake Eater marks my 1141st beaten game!*

I'm sure you don't. One of your most beloved franchises, alongside RE and Zelda. I said "most" although I haven't played MGS2 or Peace Walker, but still. Most memorable fights were on the first game, can't comment on the second, third one was hit or miss (good ones like the Boss were scarce and crap stuff like the battle against general lightning was much more prevalent) and MGS4 had not one single boss fight worth mentioning . Every single one of them were poop. Smelly poop.

I'm with Steel.

On the bright side the great boss battles are really awesome.

The beauties were such a load of crap. Hrm

The final fight was great from a story perspective, though, but such a pain in the arse to play...then directly followed (or preceeded?) by extreme button mashing. FFS.

While we are here fucking holy cows in the ass.

Let me add that the ending of MGS3 sucks from a story telling perspective.
