Recently finished Jet set Radio for the first time. I only finished the sequel but I had played the first game to a certain part. Great game, but I still prefer the sequel's "grandness". Maybe it's my vague memories, but the world is huge in JSRF.

Now I am playing Hell yeah!. If there is one game i'll keep recommending people to play, it would be this one. Please people don't miss out on this amazing title.

I've been avoiding Kingdom hearts 3D a little bit. Dunno why, but that [spoiler] pinnokio world seems to be the cause I think.[/spoiler] Its.... not the best part of the game

I finished Resident Evil 6. All the campaign, including Ada Wong's story. Now I can safely say that while it does have it's problems, the good parts overwhelm the bad ones most of the times. The bad reviews, while they do address some important issues, I don't feel like RE6 should have a low score.

It gets a solid 8/10 for me.

This also marks the first time I actually give a crap about Mercenaries Mode. The fact that you can wail in on an enemy with a well placed melee strike just feels so satisfying. Jake suplexing a zombie is too funny for it's own good.

I beat Sakura Wars last night. Beautiful storyline, cast of characters, memorable music and all. Sega should have released this game to the West when the remake came out in 2003. The only thing that bothered me was the final boss "Satan". He was a C.A.M.F.

Now I'm off to play Sakura Wars 2 today.

Damn it, the Mercenaries Mode in Resident Evil 6 is friggin' awesome. I've been playin' that mode more than anything right now. Regardless how one feels about RE 6's Story Mode, they have to admit Mercenaries is clearly one solid gold gem. I've managed to unlock all the major characters. You see, Mercenaries Mode, when you start playin' has the three major protagonists, Jake, Leon and Chris. If you get a B-rank, you unlock their respective campaign partner. An A-rank will unlock an alternate costume. Some of 'em are just so weird, Chris has a Samurai costume, Leon has a Pirate Costume, Jake has a biker outfit and Sherry has this weird japanese schoolgirl outfit.

Just plain silly... And I'm loving it...

@max_cady
Is there a way to play as PSX models of the characters in RE6.

Just 100%ed Hell Yeah! The Jackpot and die 100 times trophies were such repetitive, unskilled nonsense. I got so fed up of pressing square over and over again on the jackpot one I had a controller with a turbo button held down to do the work for me!

Will probably go back to Tokyo Jungle next, which my girlfriend has been addicted to and has already 100%ed.

Actually, Sherry's alternate costume is her outfit from Resident Evil 2, but since she's a full grown woman now it looks a bit different on her.  I'll give the rest of my thoughts on Resident Evil 6 once I fully complete the story, lovin' every minute of it though!

Can anybody help me with this problem I have?

My PSP seems to commit Battery suicide when I tend to play a long game (Valkyria in this case).

I know that the save is usually there if the battery runs out...but lately when I try to play when it's charged on occasion, the PSP just cuts right off...killing my save, making me very furious about going through 2 hours of gameplay for nothing!

It's happened more frequently with the battery I got off of Amazon...but both of the batteries are semi unreliable (yes, even my official one).

Anyone have any suggestions as to where to get a decent PSP battery that's not a dud?
Big fan of Claymore, Miria in particular.

Currently playing Yakuza 0.

I feel so dirty sayin' this but I've been playin' Spiral Knights non-stop for the last three days. Maybe because I'm waiting so long for Phantasy Star Online 2 that I'll play anything that looks remotely lie it. Namely this game... One thing that I did not like, was the fact that they removed all of the smaller energy packs that cost around 2-6 bucks, I mean come on. Granted that 12 bucks for 3500 energy points is pretty good, but I wish I had more options.

I've managed to complete, a few of the rank missions that I had put aside for nearly 7 months, because I though they were unfairly difficult, but as time went by, I just got the gist of it. And now I've gotten my first 4-star weapon. That's the only way to get to the final stages, you need 4-star equipment (armor, shield,helmet, sword and firearm).

Vendors don't have them, you have to buy a three-star weapon, level-grind with it, find a recipe that allows you to improve upon that weapon and if you're lucky... Well, it's easy to see why many give up... The amount of work put into it... Yep.

Shinobi 3DS - Very classic vibe, I'm loving it. Thank GOD for a super easy setting.

Sonic Jump - Very addictive and surprisingly difficult in the later levels, but I like a good challenge (sometimes) and am glad I'm not blowing through the game.

@Kori-Maru: Did you use a translation FAQ?

I've still been playing through The Last Story. Really solid stuff. Highly recommended if you have a Wii, and enjoyed the older Final Fantasy titles.

SO until recently, I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls. Fantastic game. Now that it's finished and I've replayed through JSR, I'm at a loss as to what to play.
I tried RE6 last week, but wanted to throw the game into a meat grinder because it was so shit. I think I might have had a bad experience because I tried playing on professional the first time and kept running out of ammo even when playing conservatively. Can you re-play the game on harder modes when you have the upgrades perks? I feel that to do anything with the limited ammo in these modes I would need to have some kind of upgrade to damage or something.

If this is the case I might try again playing on normal and then going for pro when I have the upgrades.

Even so though, the controls and overall everything just felt very bad. I'll give it a shot but I don't know if I'll like it. Really sad considering I was looking forward to this game more than any other (outside of VF5 FS).

Also considering going back and finally playing AC Brotherhood and then Revelations, seeing as how AC3 is out in a few weeks.

In the meantime though I've been playing a lot of KOFXIII and VF with friends.

EDIT: OH, almost forgot also been playing Telltale Game's Walking Dead series. Really good adventure games :)

Which model you have? Does it use UMD's or is it a PSPgo?
