shrug. I "beat" the arcade mode. I know they're not long games, but I just keep track of all the games of any genre that I play through all year.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the new Sonic game. I always hated thinking that they could never do the series right again after having so many missteps. And I'll probably get that Ico/Shadow compilation myself someday.

Yeah...the battle system. All your enemies are basically the same level as you are, which means you can grind the same enemy till you're level 100. There aren't really any new weapons(you upgrade and it's not even worth it), because instead of equiping actual items, you're equipping magic. And well...if you know what you're doing, it's extremely exploitable. And to actually equip magic is a pain, because you have to "draw" it from the enemy and well that can take some time. The max amount you can draw each times is 9 spells. So....if you're drawing the Fire spell, each turn you can only take up to 9 Fires. But the number, I think?, is random. SO you may get 9 Fires, or just 2 and ideally you'd want to max out your spells so you get the most out of your stats.

You don't have to rely solely on the battle system to draw magic. There's also the card game you can play to refine a bunch of the cards to create spells. I know alot of people don't like the card game, but I preferred it to drawing spells. Especially since I'd always have at least one party members that was abysmal at drawing and would only draw 3-4 spells at a time.

Yah...though I like playing the card game, and I don't like refining my rarer cards. or cards that I just like cactuars aand tonberries for instance. I just grind it out. I have sleep(100) junctioned to attack on one guy and draw the fuck outta him. The hard part is drawing from bosses...like Odin....who has TRIPLES! Oh! and the battle is timed too...fuck. So yeah......Found a nice guide to find all teh rare cards though...well actually...I haven't even seen what the cards refine into...I'm going to do that now!

I started a file on Parasite Eve. Holy awesome. I always thought it was like resident evil type of gameplay. It's better! and the chick really really runs like a girl.

[Keeping It Simple]

I'm playing this on my Nokia smartphone. It's pretty addictive.

Put some decent hours into this yesterday, and I'll probably play a bit moe when I get the chance. Hot damn, this game rules hard - and I generally don't even like FPS titles! Absolutely terrifying throughout.

Playing some old-school Nintendo like Excitebike, Metroid, Super Mario Bros. 2. I'll have to look for more games later.
