Signature says it all for me. Final Fantasy 3, Lufia and Infamous.

Spent a few minutes playing Blackstone on the XB -- it's a Dark Alliance style game if it had N64 graphics.  Not bad, but I needed something different - thus Infamous.

It's hilarious how much this little dude moves like Sly Cooper.  No real complaints about the game.  Moving up is a bit of a button mash, I don't feel like I'm really doing much.  Also, the electricity weapon is a bit weak. I have to zap grunts for 5-7 seconds until they fall down.

Again though, as with Arkham, I dig any game where they can make it fun without just giving me a gun and telling me to blast away bad guys.

X-com is almost done. I am researching the the last step to go to Mars. Robio was the captain after Steel died, Robio just died in a mission in an alien base. Now Punk is our Captain.

Not much, really. This, for a little while, but I'm going to be Wii-less for a good number of weeks starting tomorrow, so my scheduled playthrough will have to stop. I hope to at least finish Downtown today. 

However, tomorrow I resume my halted playthrough of Titan Quest: Immortal Throne, so not everything is grim regarding gaming in the forseeable future. 

About De Blob, it oozes charm, good music and likeable characters, but a platformer lives or dies by its level design above everything else, and in this regard (the only aspect of the game truly deserving of such a qualification, honestly), De Blob is disappointingly gray.

I've been playing Infamous, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mass Effect 2.

Been running around in Infamous for hours looking for the last blast shard. Finished the game again though with evil Cole on hard.

I've been cleaning up any outstanding achievements in Dragon Age before I pick up the dlc for the game.

Played through the dlc for Mass Effect 2, good stuff. I really enjoyed it so I'm hoping they'll release at least one more dlc package before ME3.

DQ IX exclusively for me. I'm a little over 30 hours in and I believe I'm over the halfway point.  25 sidequests done, 1 dungeon beat, and I just got an accolade for defeating 50% of the enemies of the game. Huge game and tons of stuff to do. I suspect I'll be playing it for at least another week, and then likely will pick it up for a second run through.

I thought it was a great game. It had amazing graphics too back in 2004 that I'm sure still look good. I know it was one of those deals where much of the PC fanbase had their panties in a bunch because of Thief being brought to consoles, but I loved it.

In fact, not only was it a fun stealth game, but the Orphanage level was one of the scariest levels I've ever played in ANY game....it literally chilled my spine.

In Infamous, to take back territories, is it just a matter of killing the red guys?  I'm kinda obsessed with it.

My personal hype meter for Kirby's Epic Yarn dropped to ZERO yesterday after reading the following sentence in the August 2010 issue of Game Informer:

"With this simple control scheme in place, developers Good-Feel (Wario Land: Shake It) and HAL Laboratory (Super Smash Bros.), are free to incorporate motion gameplay in interesting ways such as steering the fist of the giant Kirby mech."

________________

The moment I saw Kirby, I was excited but cautious. I think it was to Vader I said: "It looks great, but so did Wario Land: Shake It, the first time I saw IT."

Now my worst fears have been realized!

It's almost guaranteed to be the most beautiful thing EVER to look at, but be totally devoid of any fun gameplay whatsoever.

Sad

________________

Another passage from the same article:

"Unlike other oldschool platformers, the Kirby series has been less known for its blistering difficulty and more for its approachable fun. Epic Yarn is no different. Kirby and Prince Fluff collect loads of colorful gems throughout the game. Each time they take damage the shiny collectibles shake loose, lowering their end of level scores. This more forgiving penalty replaces death, so less-experienced gamers can keep on trucking after they take a wallop."

Oh man.  So looks like E3 hype has hit again (as it did with scribblenauts).
