I'm curious if we would start something sort of like our gaming club.  Only, we attempt to play AND finish games from franchises that we hate or know only by their bad reputations.  For example, for me, I would need to buy a CoD game and actually play more than ten minutes of it.  I've never ever come close to finishng one.  I'm thinking it could be torture, but maybe it'll turn out fun.

We also need to continue the gaming club, something that at least four of us would participate in.

Holy crap.... who the fuck decided on this control system for Kid Icarus? Jesus it is bad. The game, really could have been a masterpiece, and the fact that I'm still enjoying it really speaks to how well everything else was done. I'm still just in awe... this L trigger/touch-screen combo is just bad. Really limits how long you can play it. Maybe that was the plan. Nintendo was secretly being responsible ensuring that no one plays the game for more than 30 minutes.

Yup, its terrible. I too think that game could have been something really special. Instead its some kind of hand torture device.

Yeah no doubt. This game would get a top rating from me, and arguably be the best thing of the 3DS if they just went with something traditional. It would have been the modern day Space Harrier. This is going to baffle me for a very long time.

You're a masochist, aren't you?

Agreed. Had the 3DS been dual analog this game would have been so fantastic. Instead I weep at what could have been.

I'm almost 100% positive you are going to see an HD re-release of this on the U. Then, of course, you'll have the dual stick control and this game will finally be recognized as being great!

I'd double dip on a Wii U version of the game. Everything else about it is just so much fun. Oh well time to go back at it and enjoy some hand cramps.

So this weekend, I finished Far Cry 3 and got stuck in cell phone game hell since I'm away from home.  Thanks to my nephew, his cousin and my son, I've been exposed to a ton of crap out there.

Vader, you've probably created your character someplace else already, but I just realized, my server for FFXIV is Aether and my world is Jenova. I chose Gilgamesh, I am fairly certain, but when I log on, it says Jenova, so...

I havent started yet, probably wont for a while.
