My steam handle is Amnekian. You are the third backlogger who fancies some good old UT99. Meaning we are four!

Also I see that you have Mount and Blade. Mayhap we meet in the field of battle. Mediavel battle that is.

Would you, by any chance, be interested in playing Unreal Tournament GOTY with NON-PROs? I'm trying to assemble backloggers to play some good'ld UT GOTY casually.

I gotta admit, as much as I'm enjoying Kinect, I don't know how much I'd recommend it. It requires so much space I have to rearrange furniture every time I want to play, the sensor sometimes has issues... sensing me. And at the moment, there are really only two games I'd recommend, and one of them is mostly geared towards kids (kinectimals). It's super cute, but god damn that flying lemur will get on your nerves. It's like navi on cocaine. I'm glad I have it, but mostly because I'm excited to see what good developers WILL do with it, not what they have done. Because Dance Central is really the only one that fully works.

I guess that's good to hear. I haven't actually played ANY Fallouts, but I love games with fun gameplay and tons of tedious quests! Like NieR, for example.

How's New Vegas? I haven't really seen any gameplay videos, is it more like 1-2 or 3?

I usually don't like WRPGs too much since the combat seems really boring (Planescape: Torment for example, despite it's interesting story), but I do really like the amazing amount of quests and stuff. So...yeah.

Cladun...is that an RPG?

I'm joking, of course.

Yeah, it may take me a while before I am ready to do something like that. I have trouble beating games at a normal pace to begin with, so I would have to make sure that I am not really busy and I don't get distracted.
I am also concerned that I wouldn't even get past the first game, as I was just doing the FC thing to see what popped up and some of them, like Spore, would take forever to beat, because of Galactic Mode. I suppose if you do hit a dead end, you could always just start over.

I like your marathon idea so much, I plan on doing it at some time in the future.

The first boss threw me for a loop as well. You're just going to have to keep trying until you get it right. However, this is nothing compared to the last few levels of the third set of stages. If you can get past those without uttering some sort of expletive, you are a better person than me.

That being said, Runner was my least favorite of the Bit.Trip games. Graphically it looked nice, but the music and gameplay were relatively uninspired compared to the first 3 games. Also, while Runner basically requires perfection in order to get through its levels, Beat, Core, and Void will actually let you get away with a few slip-ups every now and then.

If you're not too weighed down by your soul-crushing backlog, you should give the other games a try. Play them in order, since Beat is generally agreed to be the best of the four so far, and Core and Void are personally tied in second place for me. Also, the story is somewhat fun to speculate about.

Bit.Trip Fate is coming out in a week, and it's looking very good so far!

Hahaha, yeah that would suck.

Does Monster Hunter even have a campaign, or is it just...monster hunting?
