I'm personally working on my Pokemon Black playthrough (I beat White when it first came out) and Kirby's Epic Yarn, which I picked up last month during the big Gamestop sale. After I beat KEY, I'll probably go start chiseling away at my backlog...maybe wrap up Mass Effect since I was working on it before B/W.]]> 488 Why do you even exist?!

Last games I bought in-store were Bioshock 2 and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology for a little under $30, which is awesome because I've been meaning to get Bioshock 2 but didn't want to pay more than $15 and ditto for the other, but never expected to see it for under $20. They...

Anything a go-to for you generally? Something new you're looking at tackling? Maybe just a themed level in a game you're already playing? Resident Evil? Castlevania? Silent Hill? Something else?

I normally find myself playing Luigi's Mansion or Ghostbusters]]> 9 What systems do you own? Tue, 19 Jul 2016 01:15:27 +0000 http://forums.4pgames.net/threads/what-systems-do-you-own.25/ http://forums.4pgames.net/threads/what-systems-do-you-own.25/ invalid@example.com (Geoff) Geoff

A recent-ish sequel that i hated was Force Unleashed 2. It felt so linear, repetative and in many respects heartless.

For me, I had a DOS PC growing up that I played some old classics like Commander Keen and Jetpack on, but my first actual "gaming" system was my Game Boy Color. My parents never really saw the point of buying me consoles when I had a computer, and they weren't overly big on encouraging my gaming habits either, but they finally relented and bought me...
