  Staff doing their own updating? I'm fine with that if that's what we need to do.
  
  999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (DS) - Got a bad ending and am going back for more.

  Beat my first game of the new year! Heavy Rain [PS3] - I wanted to try this but the price point was just too high to justify the purchase. Saw it was on sale at Gamestop, so I bought it for myself and my Scottish girlfriend. An amazing experience. Watching Ada play now hoping she won't make the same mistakes I did. ;

  Time to pop my 2011 cherry too!
  
  1/1/2011 - Armored Core: Nexus (PS2). Thought I'd crack it open while I waited for Silent Line to come in from eBay and was treated to another awesome Armored Core experience. While I'm not a huge fan of the removal of the verbose emails in this one, it's a pretty fun little game that keeps the user somewhat engaged in the ongoing struggle. Beating

  Nine-Ball

  at the end was a bit of a pain, but it's not Armored Core if you're not screaming at the screen for the last boss. The game contrased AC3's ending by being incredibly depressing, but at least it's a good setup for when I get into Last Raven.
  
  Wanted Nexus here to by my last 2010 game, but there were way too many hard missions. Ah well, first game of 2011 isn't bad either.
  
  Anyway, I'm hoping to best myself this year. I did 40 last, so the goal here is to reach 50! Here's hoping I can get'er done.

  I love that you're playing Heavy Rain at the same time I'm playing Rorona.

  1/1/11 (12:05am, so it counts): Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
  Well, got the end credits, but nowhere near the point to where I can go after all the L80+ maps I got trading at EB Games in July *le sigh*. I haven't even unlocked the last six classes yet.
  
  Still, I told myself I'd finish IX, IV and V before I could buy VI, so I've got about a month and a half to go.

  That was... Fast. Though I guess having a save file from Nexus helped.
  
  1/1/2011 - Armored Core: Last Raven (PS2). Leviathan ending.

  On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2 (PC)
  
  I liked the story of the second better but the mechanics of the first were superior. I really didn't like the fact that I had extra parts left over. The game was easy enough I'm considering an insane run, and I'm like...just up the block from Easy Street.

  How are you enjoying Rorona, lovely?
  
  Ada and I have been obsessively playing Heavy Rain since we got it. She watched my entire playthrough, and decided for her playthrough to do the exact opposite of what I did.

  Last night, I finished Prototype (360). I wish the game were better. The combat was very frustrating until I unlocked the Whipfist, at which point it became easy and slow. One note: I did experience serious tension when the game introduced a clock halfway into the final boss fight, which I literally finished with one second remaining. If that's not a scripted result, it was certainly exciting.

  Woo, first game passed for the year, and with 15 mins to spare of the day.
  
  Donkey Kong Country Returns, Wii, 4/1/10
  
  Loved it, even though some stages took 20 of my lives +.
  
  Also, pay attnetion in some areas, I've noticed one character from another game in the background. (Also, just about every song from DKC is in it, although remixed. Makes me even happier).

  Final Fantasy X (PS2).
  I have thoughts on it, certainly, but it's neither a new favorite nor something I detest. I could foresee playing it again in the future, but not soon.

  It's not what he's eating, but what's eating him that makes it ... sort of interesting.

  Digital: A Love Story (PC)
  
  It takes about 90 minutes and I highly recommend it. Its story affected me in way that is "that shouldn't have affected me that much". Which is a mark of good storytelling I suppose. Highly recommended, you can get it here: http://www.scoutshonour.com/digital/

  Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland (PS3) Got the True Ending with Lionela hanging out with Rorona at the end. I usually like my video games like I like my men: dark and hard, but I can enjoy giggly fluffy games too when they're done well. Rorona was a lot of fun.

  So one of my gaming resolutions for the new year has been to get back my s-rank on games that have had stuff come out since I'd been so busy and haven't had a chance to keep up on it. I'm actually making a really good progress with this plan of attack and have reinstated my S-rank and gotten all the possible achievements, in turn beating them for the new years on the following games.
  
  Dragon Age: Origins [Xbox 360] (1750/1750)
  Mass Effect 2 [Xbox 360] (1255/1255)
  Scott Pilgrim vs. The World [XBLA] (250/250)
  
  And today, I've added a new entry to the realm of my S-ranked games. Number 22. Welcome.
  
  Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light [XBLA] (200/200)
  
  I still have a few games that I need to finish the DLC on to get my S-rank back on before I can really move on, but all in good time.

  Beat Vanquish for the 360. Hard game to put down once you start playing. Very manly, fast-paced shooter which is kinda confusing for a Japanese game.

  I picked that up over the holidays, haven't started it yet.

  "Back when FF9 was coming out. People were rejoicing because it was actually a fantasy game and not a sci-fi game like 7 and 8. It's hilarious in modern context, with everyone wanking themselves to dehydration at the thought of a FF7 remake."

  Playing it at the moment on Chapter 4, a little different form what I usually play but really good fun. The Japanese can do the manly stuff if they want, e.g. Metal Wolf Chaos

  My first completion this year was Ys Seven (PSP). Loved every minute of it. I'm debating picking up Oath in Felghana despite already owning the PC version, but I think I'll end up getting 1 & 2 Chronicles next (I have yet to get any version of Ys 2).
• Mike Moehnke Code: Kirin Administrators

  January 2011 edited January 2011

  Ys 2, really? Unless you played Ys 1 back in the 80's, it's hard to buy it alone considering the two have been packaged together in almost every re-release.

  It's not what he's eating, but what's eating him that makes it ... sort of interesting.

  I dunno. I have weird feelings about Ys Seven. I'm just not feeling it at all... I honestly and truly hate the fact that I have to change to different party members and I can't just fight things as Adol and switch to different weapons (like in Ark of Napishtim). Not playing as Adol at all in Ys Origin didn't bother me in the least because he wasn't actually meant to be in the game, but the party member swapping of 7 has bugged me a lot more then I thought it would. I'm trying to trudge through it, but the prospects are looking grim...

  1/6/11 - Armored Core (PSOne). I'd been on the game's last level for months. Months! Way too much platforming in a game with those mechanics, and it's the only stage where there's that much of it. Only other game in the series I've played so far with this annoying a level was AC2: Another Age, and that game's annoying for other reasons.

  Despite what I thought, my first game of 2011 was Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (DS). This time I went for the Amane path. Also, unlike my first time playing through, I had

  forgotten that I had to talk to Kaido first, and he ended up killing Keisuke. Dear me was that death gruesome, even though these are little sprites. . .

  Bravely second...
  The courage to try again...

  VVVVVV (PC). Man, was last year a good year for indie platformers. Between this and Super Meat Boy, I died over 3000 times and loved almost every minute of it.The open-map format is also unique and wonderful. On a side note, that music! Wonderful!

  Yeah, I played Ys 1 on Master System. I picked up a Master System rather late a couple years ago and found a copy of Ys 1. Since I didn't have a TG CD at the time, it was the only domestic way to play it. I was eying importing the Ys 1 & 2 release for PC, but I stalled on that. By the time the TG CD version came to virtual console, the DS version was also on the horizon, so I waited to see how that turned out. When the DS version turned out kinda lousy, I eyed the PC release again, but before long the PSP version was announced.
  
  Regardless of all that, I finished LocoRoco 2 (PSP). Turns out I was a lot closer to the end than I thought when I put it down last.

  Oh yeah.
  
  After playing the demo, I bought both the game and the soundtrack at the same time. Personal favourites include Predestined Fate, Potential for Anything and Pressure Cooker.
