Now I got to beat Sonic Adventure 2

I managed to beat the "Hero" story, "Dark story", & "Last Story" in Sonic Adventure 2

Final boss battle with Haplizard (the final form of Biolizard) was a cakewalk

The Steam Sale - the most dangerous time of the year for people's wallets everywhere! Each year I try to reason with myself that I didn't actually get around to playing 90% of the stuff that was 'too good to miss!' last time, but it's almost inevitable that something will crop up at 75% off that will see me dipping into the PayPal account once more...

On a side note, it would be awesome if Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo had sales like this. They obviously aren't doing Steam sales any harm for the rest of the year, so I don't see why it would harm XBLA/PSN/Wii sales either.

Ha yes true - and especially when a lot of the sale games cost the same as a pint a lot of the time :)

Yep for sure I will add you on Steam, although I have to admit I'm not much of a FPS fan and most of my gaming takes place on the 360. I've just typed your name on here into Steam and it's thrown up HT1 - is that you? I'm TheDigitalBoy on there.

This looks promising, the Nvidia Shield. its basically an android platform with a wifi streamer to your tv set without much lag. its also got its own screen for playing on the go.

now let's see some big studios get behind this thing and we could see a new era ushered in gameplay. Game anywhere any time on any tv.

Hey yall it's that time of year again: the Humble bundle is back !
In case you missed it, there's a new Humble Bundle going on right now (since two days ago). Over the years we’ve seen a variety of games offered up on the Humble Bundle; some have been pretty ho-hum, while others have been well worth the price of admission; many of the games have been indie affairs. Of course, the price of admission is practically free: it’s whatever you want, starting at a whopping $1 – yes, that's an entire dollar rather than the original starting point of a penny for the Humble Bundle. The latest version comes courtesy of EA’s Origin, and rather than the usual indie games, and you get six AAA games from EA that range from okay to unappreciated gems to major blockbusters.

Any contribution will get you all six of the following games; I’ve included the current retail (Origin) pricing on each as a reference point: Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box ($19.99), Crysis 2 Maximum Edition ($29.99), the original Dead Space ($19.99), the latest Dead Space 3 sequel ($39.99), Mirror’s Edge ($19.99), and Medal of Honor ($19.99). So if you were to buy just those six games off of Origin right now, you’d be paying nearly $150 – not that I’d suggest you do so, but if you’ve missed any of them and are looking for a diversion, they’re not bad.

So if you want major games for cheap and help your favorite charities, head on over to http://www.humblebundle.com/

I just beat Resident Evil Survivor (PS1 version) tonight

I ended up using all of my health items & expending all of my ammo (with the exception of Handgun ammo) to defeat Hypnos T-Type

Defeating Hypnos T-Type's 3rd form was the hardest part of the game but I was able to defeat him on my 2nd try.

Heard Survivor was a terrible game, so well done.

All my systems are dead, so when my store gets layaway back next week I'll throw a PS3 on there and pick it up near xmas. Then i can get Deadly Premonition Directors Cut. The 360 version is deeply flawed but still one of my all time favs

Thanks for congratulating me.

While I don't think Resident Evil: Survivor was as good as its predecessors, I personally don't find the game terrible & thought it was somewhat enjoyable.

turn your smart phone into a computer peripheral, great for anyone but designed for gamers who need easy access to game options
