What were the last video games you played?

yeah i was thinking about getting limbo. looked like a nice little game. i'm gonna see if there is a demo or something.

Yeah if you get the game, be ready to throw your controller through the wall and/or the screen many, many, many times. It's by far the single most frustrating game I've ever played. Ever.

GTA:San Andreas

I beat the GTA:IV story for a 4th/5th/6th? time and wanted go back to a previous era. Popped in GTA:SA and just went around flying airplanes. Man, I missed that.

There are also rumors that GTA:V could come as early as Spring/Summer 2012.

I've been rocking out to Dance Central lately. F*ck am I outta shape. I actually do pretty well in the game and have even 5 gold-starred a bunch of the songs, but I get over-heated and sweaty REALLY REALLY REALLY fast. I'm looking forward to playing the game in the winter when I can go throw myself into a snowbank every 15 minutes or so lol

I've been playing Radiant Historia on the DS a lot lately, a really fun jRPG with a fun story and an interesting time travel/parallel universe mechanic. Atlus has really stolen the jRPG crown from Square as far as I'm concerned, all their releases in recent years, like the Etrian Odyssey and Shin Megami Tensei games, have been golden.

Picked up Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 on PSN to pass the time until Deus Ex comes out.

If you ever played Syobon Action 2 or Super Meat Boy, you would apologize to Limbo.

Limbo is a magnificent game. (careful, SPOILERS in that thread) I picked it up on the 360 a little while back and played through it between two days. I think I set it down once, just to give myself a break from one of the puzzles; it's a little sadistic and very captivating.

Nice to see that it made its way to Steam and the PC. It definitely deserves a new audience.

SMT: Devil Survivor
- I'm not a big fan of moving on a grid for battles, but SMT did a good job with this entry. My experience kinda feels like Persona 3 and The World Ends with You, both I had great times with. My only criticism so far is a lack of feeling when the characters talk. Yeah they have different still photos like in TWEWY, but I guess I never realized how those small reaction sound effects brought some life to the mostly unvoiced dialogue.

I absolutely loved Devil Survivor (unlike you, I really like grid battle games). Might play it again after Radiant Historia to get one of the other endings.

I never could get into The World Ends With You, however. It's certainly a stylish game, but it just wasn't MY style. That and the protagonist was one of those 'I don't care about anything and that's supposed to make me cool' teens that already pissed me off mightily in other games (I'm looking at you, Squall).

I played a bit of L.A. Noire about a month ago. Didn't really care for it. This review pretty much nails it, as far as I'm concerned.

I played the demo for Limbo and liked it so much that I downloaded the game instantly. I had no regrets buying the game at full price. It was easily one of my favourite games from last year.

This review

That's a really great read.

Right now I'm nearing the end of Catherine. The puzzles are getting pretty tough.
