What are you playing this week? July 20th.

[Feba]

Haven't had one of these in awhile.

Personally:
Wii Fit (Wii) -- For all of its flaws, it's still fun, and even just weighing yourself takes a lot of the work out of monitoring your health (automatic graphs and such = AWESOME). Also, competing for the high score makes it much more entertaining.

Space Invaders Extreme (DS) -- This is simply great. It's exactly what I've been wanting in a DS title-- something I can pick up and play for a few minutes, but also something which is enjoyable enough to hold my attention for much longer. Very catchy in both the gameplay, visuals, AND audio. Nothing like tapping out a rhythm on the A button to shoot down invaders.

DDR: Hottest Party (Wii) -- Picked this up. Not the most polished (or feature-packed) version of DDR, but still plenty fun.

Gyrostarr (WiiWare) -- I technically have no PLANS to sit down and play this, but given that it's an easy to pick up and play for a few moments WiiWare title, I'll probably play it while taking breaks from DDR and Wii Fit.

This week I am playing:

Wii Fit - Just got it the other day. It's pretty nice from what I've seen. I thought there would be more games and activities though.

Gears of War - I finally gave in and bought it because of the price drop. Haven't exactly played it yet, but I will be this week. Hopefully it's as good as I've heard it is.

There is quite a bit there, it just takes a few hours of fit credits to unlock them all.

Currently playing Ar Tonelico. Will probably go ahead and clear Atelier Iris 2 and 3 and Mana Khemia afterward just to get all these GUST games off of my list of games to beat.

Probably moving on to the NIS games after that, all but Disgaea 1 and 2 have been sitting on my shelf for quite a while.

Haha, by "these two" I assume you are referring to Shock and Awe and Late Boomer? Those are the two people seem to have the most problems with.

Shock and Awe is just a speed test. Kill stuff fast, upgrade your weapons, and stay in Weapon Overdrive full time. The moment a nuke appears, kill it (don't Boost, as nukes have this nasty tendency to spawn Meteor Storms, which means you'll be needing that Boost more likely than not to save your behind...).

Late Boomer... is skill + luck. Go to options, set the camera to NEAR. Then enter Bomber mode, and hang out on the exact opposite side of the planet from where you first spawn. The meteors flow away from that spot, so you can abuse this to stay alive (but watch out for the mines). What you want to do is get in a position where you are near the first and second bomb ships that fly in at the same time and kill them both with one bomb. Yes, it's tricky. And THEN you have to survive without using bombs and kill two more bomb ships, which will get you the necessary 15 bombs. Definitely not for the faint of heart or slow on the trigger finger.

This week, I'm playing Mass Effect on PC, Patapon on PSP, Rock Band on PS3.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Final Fantasy XII this week.

I've been on what is technically my second full playthrough of FFXII, and wow, I really missed a lot of quests and weapons and espers the first time. Got my Zodiac Spear, though and happily kicking ass on the hunts with it. I'm gonna do that Gilgamesh fight right this time, too.

SMT: Nocturne I found a fresh copy of after finding out The Dark Knight was sold out, so taking a pass of the movie this week and gonna kick back and enjoy this instead. Great game.

Late Boomer is not humanly possible. You people are freaks.

Re: What are you playing this week? July 20th.

Bumpage. Okay, guess I'm a freak too. I got lucky and both waves were absurdly easy for some reason. Mines blew up the first two bomb ships and I grabbed the third one a few seconds after.

But Shock & Awe! That one is impossible. I was playing last night and my eyes were burning, you literally can't blink after the 4th or 5th wave on that one....

Also, Icemage, I bought THE EYE OF JUDGMENT the other night from Walmart for only $30. Haven't opened it yet but we should play soon and you can show me the ropes.

Gonna pick up Burnout Paradise and God of War: Chains of Olympus from Toys 'R Us tomorrow from their sale, so I'll be playing those too. I love being out of school, even if it's just for a few weeks.
