Thanks. I'll get to dodging. Thankfully, the checkpoint is right at him, so I don't have to power through a whole level every time he kicks my ass.

Good luck! I'll tell you now though, it's only gonna get harder from here on out. Make sure you power up often!

I beat Elvis, and then beat him again, so I'm partway through the 3rd stage right now.

Once I figured out how to recharge the TP gauge quickly, it's been much easier. I think the toughest bit I ran into was the 3 mini-bosses in a row.
The more I play it, the more I like it through. You just keep unlocking better, and more over the top moves.

It reminds me a bit of No More Heroes as well, when it comes to the cut-scenes and level progression.

^Indeed I know what you mean, the game just gets better and better as you go on. The bosses get more wild and the levels are more crazy too. Really good fun.

Final Fantasy XIII is pretty fun. I like the Paradigm system. Though it's a pain that the first time you shift it in each battle all the characters make a pose, wasting about a whole second (which is a lot when you're open to enemy attacks). The battles are pretty frantic.

It's the only RPG battle system that's ever gotten me just as anxious as a fighting game or a shooter.
How far are you in it?

I played a ton more God Hand today. I got to beat the crap out of the Power Rangers :).

Yeah, it was pretty great.
I'm just starting the 6th chapter now.
This game's hilarious. Every single person you save in the game looks the exact same. I'm freeing these slaves, and the first one says that he got locked up because he was slacking on the job. The second guy tells me he got locked up because he looks the same as the first guy.
Awesome stuff.

About chapter 3 or 4.. [spoiler:2zrzwpbl]Snow was being captured. Just got the lesbian bike/Shiva/summon thing.[/spoiler:2zrzwpbl]

And the homosexual Prism Rangers are hilarious! Great game, God Hand.

The battle system just gets better. They do a good job of setting you up with teams and paradigms that you might not even think of using.  When you get the opportunity to set up your team with whoever you want, you'll have a pretty good idea of what you're looking for.
Also, the shared experience points are pretty great. Nobody get's left behind, even if they're a character that you never use.  I really love that game.

This week's shaping up to be pretty busy, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to put more time into God Hand. I'm on chapter 6 right now.

I just started playing Tales of Vesperia I'm kinda regretting having bought. I didn't like the battle system on  the demo, I played and I don't like it now.

I haven't been put off by an RPG this much since Infinite Undiscovery.

The music's incredible. It really compliments the fun atmosphere :).
I also love how the enemies can be seen dancing to it before you beat the crap out of them.

Set up my Move and am playing Sports Champions and Resident Evil 5.
Looks like I won't be buying any new games for a while so will get my moneys worth out of what I currently have.
