Wow, it didn't occur to me until just now how fucking rad that cover is. Those turtles look mean! Love the foot soldier riding on the T-Rex.

did you guys read my GBA turtles post on rfgeneration.com/blogs/noiseredux ?

[Count Mecha]

I read it. I don't own a GBA and only played one once so I have a pretty small frame of reference. But all of those games look good. Good reviews. Is Raphael still the most difficult Turtle to play as in those games?

[noisereductions]

it generally keeps that balance -- Mike and Leo are sort of even, Raph is fast and weak and Don is slow and strong.

AHHH so you just saw how badass Snake really is. (The cutscene where you sneak into the hiding joint of the resistance). That's one of my favorite scenes...I love how Snake just handles everyone. But yeah. yer about halfway....a little more. You got 2 acts left.

I've just beaten Grand Theft Auto IV, I expected something harder for the final mission but whatever... Awesome game.

And I've just begun playing this :

I was skeptical of how well the Earthworm Jim series would transfer over to 3D. But honestly, I'm having a pretty decent time so far, and the game carries the surreal wackiness of the franchise into the 3rd dimension, quite well. It's a bit like if Jet Force Gemini and Banjo Kazooie had a malformed baby... Eraserhead style.

[noisereductions]

never been a big EWJ fan.

[Ghostchase]

I loved Jet Force Gemini.

Love earthworm Jim and like part 2. never played anything afterwards.

Far Cry 1 again. Such a good game!

Haha, Earthworm Jim 3D kinda sucks. It wasn't as bad as Bubsy 3D... but even Gex: Enter the Gecko was more interesting and fun... though none of those "3D adventures" were as good as Mystical Ninja... all that stuff looks silly next to stuff like Vagrant Story though... but yeah, the second EWJ wasn't very good either, because it relied too much on annoying gimmicky little mini levels and not enough of the stuff Earthworm Jim was actually known for (fun, quirky side scrolling/shooting action). Even then, he was surrounded by awesome games that no one paid attention to like Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, and Pulseman (I had the Sega Channel!).

But yeah, Jet Force Gemini is a classic. Rare were great back in the day.. Blast Corps rules too. Banjo can take a hike, but Conker was alright... Donkey Kong 64 was HORRIBLE... whenever people tell me they like that, I tell them to go to a grocery store and collect 100 bananas.. then collect a hundred of this.. then a hundred of that.. then a hundred of etc.. that is not fun. Collect-a-thons suck. Banjo Kazooie at least had some fun transformations and whatnot, even though it felt like Mario 64 Lite.

I just beat God of War 2. It was pretty cool, it's like Zelda (constantly acquiring new items to get past places you previously couldn't get past) meets Devil May Cry. Way too easy, and some of the puzzles were downright annoying and stupid, but swinging around and flying was fun.

I bought a NDS at a yard sale for $5 yesterday!

So yeah. I guess I have a DS again.
