Here's a big old Herp-Derp for ya Robio...

Has anyone suggested Dead Island for your Horror Panel?

Man I've been playing all sorts of shit this weekend.

I've gone back into Red Dead Redemption to grab some of the trophies that I missed the first time around. At this point I have all of the low hanging fruit, so if I want to get any more I'm really going to have to invest some time. The majority is really expansion pack or multiplayer stuff so I doubt I'll go for it. I'd much rather play through the game a second time. Not quite sure if I'm ready for that.

Yesterday I bought a membership for PSN Plus since I've been buying a lot of PSN games. Just seemed smart. So since I got some discounts on them I went ahead and bought Athena and Ikari Warriors from the PSN Mini's section. Jesus I forgot just how tough those games were. Glad I got Athena though. I really liked that game as a kid, though I doubt I'll ever get too much play from it. Ikari Warriors was a flat-out mistake though. Even at $2.39 that game is so hard I doubt I'll ever touch it again.

And since they were free with the membership I played through Altered Beast and Plants v. Zombies. Altered Beast is even worse than I remembered.  If Sega has any kind of soul they will never allow that game to be distributed again. God it's pure shit. Plants v. Zombies was kind of fun, but got very repetitive after a while.  I played through the first 3 sections of the game and the same basic strategy seems to work every time. Cute enough game and good in small doses. Probably would have been more fun on my tablet than on the PS3.

Finally, I've filled in the gaps with Marvel v. Capcom 2. Still a fun game, and I'd say is probably the best comic book fan service ever, though since the game is a decade old the fanboy in me keeps saying "THIS IS WRONG! THIS IS OUT OF DATE! THE JUGGERNAUT ISN'T THE JUGGERNAUT ANYMORE!!! COLLASSUS IS!! THE COSTUMES ARE ALL WRONG!!!!" The trophies for it are utterly ridiculous though. Very unlikely I'll even get one of these things. It's almost all for online fighting and I really prefer to just play against the CPU since I could never hold my own against the people who are playing this online right now.

Now that I already gave up on it, the damn thing worked and the DLC is finally activated.

I tried the Ikari Warriors game on PSN. Thankfully it was a freebie during the free PSN+ time. Played through it wasting numerous continues then promptly deleted it. Some games are just best left as a fond memory from the past.

I've been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Finished my first playthrough this weekend. Excellent game. Started a second playthrough and I'm going to attempt getting the no kill/no alarms/hardest difficulty achievements all in this playthrough.

This can't be highlighted enough. Not all games age gracefully.

No offense meant, hamster.

I've been playing this, and it's going from strength to set. They certainly meant the hard bit in hard reset, though.

Played the demo for that a couple days ago. Seems fun, especially with the destructible stuff. Looks nice as well.

Yeah, even on the demo I had a hard time trying to back off from the relentless advances of enemies. It's stressing in a way few modern shooters can pull off. Half my time with the demo I was just going backwards while fending off attacks.

Sounds like fun.
