At the moment I am tackling Dragon Age Origins and failing miserably. I haven't played these kinds of games in forever and returning to them is frustrating! :/

Whoever made that challenge in Sonic Generations where you have to hit the notes back at Vector can get a very painful and terrible but easily cured disease that isn't fatal.

Playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, X-men Legends 2, and Marvel Nemisis, Rise of the Imperfects. I may be a Zeldafan, but I am not that good at the Zelda games. :shady:

Finished Abe's Oddysee, and managed to find a game I've been pining after for years - Microsoft Puzzle Collection, a collection of old puzzle games that was included with some PCs ages ago. My grandparents had it on their PC when I was like...nine or something, and I fell in love with this one game in particular called Fringer where you have to untie knots before they get pushed to the bottom. I've also discovered a love for one called Charmer, where you have to charm a bunch of snakes up to this vine and keep the lids from falling on all their pots. It's really challenging, and I find myself engrossed for hours on end.

+1 for Diablo 3. Rocking the Wizard and Demon Hunter also (and playing both as melee because I'm weird like that).

I just recently got to the second generation on Rune Factory 2 (finally), and it has become considerably more difficult. I guess I'm thankful for that, because the "prologue" part of the game is insanely easy, but now I keep dying. -_-

(If anyone else plays this game, you might know what I'm talking about.)

I also got to Stone Tower Temple on Majora's Mask.
Sure, I MIGHT have looked up a walkthrough at some point... briefly... maybe... >,>

No shame in that, that's a rough section of the game (especially the well). Majora's Mask is a fantastic game all around though, my second favorite Zelda to be sure.

As for me I am loathing the person who thought that the trophy for beating the final boss in Sonic Generations without getting hit was a good idea. It's the only trophy keeping me from Platinum right now.

I also bought Rayman Origins today but haven't played it yet.

Are you talking about the well with the Gibdo fetch-quest(s), or are you saying there's a well in Stone Tower Temple? (I don't think I've gotten very far into the temple yet.)

I don't know if visual novels count, but I've just started Ever 17. There's something inherently appealing about the format of visual novels. I can't really explain why, but I love it.

I've put Sonic Generations aside for a bit since the last trophy I need is ludicrously hard to get and started playing Rayman Origins, which is a fantastic game and wonderful in every way.

Also, assuming my PS3 doesn't die overnight or get interrupted, I'll soon have Infamous 2 to play (PSN really, really needs to put in a feature to resume interrupted downloads).

If possible let me know if you like Infamous 2 when you get it. I've been debating whether to shell out the money for it or skip it altogether :/

Started going through creation tutorials on LBP2. Not particularly interested in Story Mode, though it seems like it may be a fair bit better in presentation than LBP1... Or, at least, have more variety.

Kingdom Hearts re coded. The gameplay system, rumor has it, is gonna be reused in Destiny Dream Drop. (Or whatever) Its actually the best gameplay system of all the KH games. (Even if they DID just rip off Final Fantasy X's skill grid...or whatever it was called.)

I've been playing this free modification of Super Smash Bros. Brawl called Project M.

Best part is that it doesn't require modding a wii to play, just an SD card with a capacity of 2GB or less.

Basically, it uses Brawl's Stage Builder feature to load the Gecko OS (from the SD card) which then applies the mod. It's still a demo so all characters aren't in yet. The downside is that you can't use custom stages when running the mod this way. It's a pure software mod too, so everything stays on the SD card.

Brawl can only use SD cards of up to 2GB due to limitations on the original Wii software.
