Basically ME2 and 3. On 2 I am doing the Shadow Broker DLC right now, team is complete except for one member, and I'm about 60 or 70% done with loyalty missions as well.

Played a few ME3 games yesterday with Travo and GME. Pretty fun game actually. I was doubtful the end result could be appealing or entertaining, but in the end the thing works out. Only MP, though, won't start SP until I get 100% galaxy disposition AND finish my second playthrough in ME2.

Youre 100% galaxy rating will only last you like 5 hours....then it will drop to 99%

That's what I keep telling myself as I play through Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

That is how I felt when I played through GT5: Prologue.

Oh shit. It doesn't stay?

What am I supposed to do then?

Nothing, ignore it, it means nothing.

Mass Effect 2 was the only thing I played, besides a few confiused moments in the last disc of Final Fantasy 7.

Hopefully starting Phantom Dust tonight, but I am pretty tired.

Thank you Nintendo for reminding me that games are supposed to be fun, full of joy and are supposed to put a smile on your face. Within the first two minutes of Kid Icarus I was already laughing, I was filled with excitement to jump into this awesome world. So far the game is a blast and the controls with the stand work very well. It is a pain when just holding it on your hand but I think with the button control scheme it works well. The amount of options available its pretty crazy and there is a ton of content is massive.

It is so well done and has the qualities that make gaming my favorite medium. Nintendo does it again.

Sounds great. I was unsure about whether this game was going to turn out to be a clusterfuck or not.

Beware about Radiant Dawn....as cool as it seems right now, when you get around 60% complete the game suddenly out of nowhere becomes stupidly, ridiculously hard to the point of frustration. The difficulty balance is all fucked up in this one compared to Path Of Radiance.

What difficulty did you play it on? Since I heard about the problems I started on easy but as far as I can tell the only difference between easy and normal is that easy has the tutorials for you to read and watch.

With Kid Icarus am I the only one that naturally tapped the screen to shoot? It took me a while to get used to pressing L. Tapping the screen would have been so much better.

To tap the screen for direct shooting wouldn't the game have to display on the bottom screen in 2D?

Sooooooooooooo sick right now! What started out as a scratchy throat and sniffles has turned into full-on SORE throat, ear-ache, constant runny nose, fever, headache, aches and pains, nausea... I think all I am going to do tomorrow is sleep...

...and play shit-loads of ME3!

Enjoy! Hopefully it makes you feel better.

Don't finish ME3 though. It might make you die.

Um, the 3DS Epic Mickey game sounds better than the console sequel:

Power of Illusion is being put together by DreamRift, the studio behind 2011's Monster Tale for the Nintendo DS. The game, which is its own side-scrolling, platforming title (instead of a mere port of The Power of Two), is a follow-up to Epic Mickey, but more interestingly,
it's also a follow-up to Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, a 1990 game for the Sega Genesis!



Power of Illusion will make heavy use of the Nintendo 3DS's stylus. By tapping the item icons exist in every level, you'll be able to "paint" (trace) those items into existence, including cliffs, cannons, and floating platforms. The more precisely you trace, the better for Mickey. A flawlessly-painted canon will only damage Mickey's enemies, for instance, but if you mess up the painting, the canon will be a danger to everyone in the area.



Sometimes you'll need to erase objects, which is done by spreading thinner. Again, the stylus comes into play here.

The hand-drawn sprites in Power of Illusion are extremely compelling, and, thanks to scrolling parallax backgrounds (a heavily-used graphic technique in the days of 16-bit gaming), reportedly look great in sterescopic 3D. Even better, every level in the game is based on an animated Disney adventure, from "Sleeping Beauty" to "Tangled" and lots in between.



As a final declaration of oldschool love, every character that Mickey saves in Power of Illusion will take up residence in the fortress that Mickey uses as his home base, a confirmed nod to the esteemed Suikoden RPG series. Sometimes you find references in the unlikeliest of places, but that's part of what makes video games fun. Right?



There's no release date set for Power of Illusion (Fall 2012 is a general target), but expect lots more information on this game as the weeks march on like Mouseketeers.

And from GAF:

I have the magazine in hand, the graphics look just like the Castle of illusion graphics!


other details include


-The witch from Snow white is the main villain again

-There will be worlds from all eras of Disney, From Peter Pan to Tangled

-Scrooge Mcduck is in the game

-Characters you 'save' will appear in a fort of sort that acts as a HUB when you progress on, like Scrooge McDuck or Peter pan will be in it and decorate the fort.

-Oswald will be in it along with Minnie
