Gears if always fun.

That avatar is incredibly distracting.

Ramon Salazar/Pope: actually I thought of that as soon as I saw him when I played RE4.

I just saw this on IGN. It's a new DS Action-RPG from the Korean developer who made the Kingdom Under Fire series.

It's called "Shining Legend."

It looks pretty good:

I thought it was a Sega game at first from the Shining series, but I guess it's not.

Looks pretty good!

I thought triangle meant car-jacking.

Mario's anatomy

played a few hours of assassin's creed II over the weekend.  the game is wonderful and i'm really enjoying it.  it's also the first game i played in years where i don't feel in a hurry to move along with the story and finish it as quickly as I can.  at the moment i'm taking my sweet time learning the streets, rooftops and buildings of Monteregionne and San Gimignano doing side-quests, collecting treasure, buying paintings etc.  this game is wonderful and it makes me want a new tv set badly (even worse than uncharted 2)

And Darkside Chronicles.

P.S I'm stuck on the metroid boss.

Darkside Chronicles did great and should be past 500k. Not that a rail shooter would "affect them the most".

In Capcoms financials it was listed among Bionic Commando and Dark Void as 'failures'.

I rented Other M this weekend. Good game, but not totally my thing. Never was a huge Metroid fan, but this is probably the closest any entry in the series has come to making me say, "oooooh cool."

I think this is the perfect starter game for SteelAttack. Hard to get lost, easy to play, action packed etc.

Holy crap!  I looked up on Google images, and someone already made it

I thought we had a deal! You were suppossed to wait for me.

I completed Metroid Other M, 89% of items. And I'm a few hours into Hotel Dusk 2 aka Last Window.

So far, so good, it's a sequel, it has the same art style, same gameplay systems, same music chimes. The levels are a lot bigger and better fleshed out. Story so far has yet to kick into gear but if it's like the first game I have a long way to go yet.

So it's all good so far, apart from the opening cutscene which is horribly compressed, artifacted video. Not like the lovely opening of the first game.

Last Window is one of the few DS games that uses the DS in book form. It reminds me of how uncomfortable it can be.

Also, now I have a touchscreen android phone, using the notepad in Last Window doesn't feel as cool as it used to. But DS is like, is it 6 years old now?

So sad that CING went bankrupt. Can you imagine playing a 3DS Hotel Dusk with 3D depth and visuals as good as Another Code R Wii?

I don't think I'd want a Hotel Dusk with high end visuals. I like the current style. Has a nice pulp novel feel to it. Giving it a slick visuals would go against the game's theme I think.

If we're talking stylistically it can retain the black and white character models. The 3D visuals in the DS games are the DS equivalent of high end 3D visuals though.
