Rumour has it that (new) Arcade games from June 1st will be worth 400 achievement points rather than 200.

I wouldn't mind it being more of the same. I really liked DKCR for all it was. I also wouldn't mind them dropping 3D in the game. I don't really see the necessity of 3D in a 2D sidescrolling game.

Just got 100 % achievement on this game. Phew. Took 115 hours because of some rather ineffective gaming in the beginning. Had to level up my smithing quite a bit but after I'd done that, the game was way easier. Died a lot less than before. Had I just known that before I reached level 50...

Hehe. If I saw those two at some time and I had to make a move on one of them, I'd pick the default. That's all that matters to me. That's how I pick characters in games. Except when I go for the male option which I actually always do. Oughta shake things up sometime. Hehe.

Well, yeah, you could. But what if you don't really fancy multiplayer? What if you don't want to pay for Live? What if you just want a single player game? I think it's a bad choice, especially if you have to have made ALL the right choices in the previous games, which I'm not sure I have. I really consider buying the game on Thursday but then again; I liked the two first games but they weren't extraordinary to me. I'm not quite so fond of shooting games. Great story, though, and overall fun game. Also, I haven't really got the time for it right away. I think the default one looks happier. And more human. And has prettier hair.

This probably won't be as hard not to get for the 360, as it's scheduled to be out on October 31st so it will probably be near the release of the Wii U. Darksiders II, however, is out in June, right?

The character design is horrible and makes it look like a game for small children. But apart from that it looks fun.

Stan Lee will be a playable (unlockable) character in the game!

Ack, copyright. Seriously... On another note, Dannyboy said what I was thinking about the poster. It looks unsanely unnatural even given the setting. It is very obviously photoshopped. It might be the light around Iron Man's head that makes it seem like it was cut into the picture somehow.

Indeed it does. However, I have just, upon further reading, found out that the game is "old": it's been in development since 2008 where it was first shown. So I'm sorry if this is old news to some. Just couldn't stop myself sharing the awesomeness of that trailer.

This game has just gone through Microsoft for approval or something. The rumoured release date is 2/5 2012 but that is not set in stone. Anyway, it looks absolutely awesome and clever. Enjoy! (direct link: )

I recently started getting trouble with the game. I just did the Thieves' Guild second mission (shadow the lizard) and afterwards my game has been very laggy. Not while walking around, but when I want to look into my inventory or other's or chests. It takes ages to load, about 10 seconds, and when in, it also takes some time to equip or drop items. I play the Xbox-version, and I have tried clearing the cache. It helped, but not as much as I had hoped. Any of you experienced the same, or do you have any ideas? Edit: Nevermind, I think I found the problem now: Somehow, I suddenly had 31589 copies of the same letter in my inventory. I can see how that may cause a slight slowdown when looking at the inventory! I'm trying to drop them now but that will take some time.

... Of course. I had only chosen Wireless, not Nintendo WFC. Mewtwo's downloaded now. Thanks.

Erm, how do I get Mewtwo? Is Mewtwo even available outside England? I checked Mystery Gift but there was nothing. I think that was how I got my other event Pok?mon but I'm not sure. It's been quite long since I did that last time.

I suddenly got a present when I booted my 3DS today. "Nintendo Letter Box"-ish. Had to download it from the eShop but I don't know what it is. Alright, had a go with it now. It's a letter program for the 3DS, where you can write and draw things which can be sent via SpotPass or will be traded through StreetPass. It's a bit like the DS-drawings.

I still can't use Game Sync! It still says that the machine needs to recharge. Just to be sure: That is how you access the dream world, right?

Awesome. Can't wait to get it - and Mewtwo when it's available!

I went to do this and set up my game for Game Sync, first time. I made a mistake and now it says that I have to wait a day until the machine is repowered. That sucks. To get Arceus, and any other Pokémon for that matter, do you have to battle it or will it just automatically become yours when you enter the code?

From what I've learned, you may exercise all days of the week, however, you must not do the same exercise every day. If you do legs one day you should do legs the next. So if you just vary your training, there's nothing wrong with doing it every day. That said, though, you still need to rest some days, one day a week is a good idea. And as JonSt said, resting doesn't mean doing nothing, just go for a walk instead of running, or do some Just Dance or something like that. I myself exercise quite much. About 4.5 or 5 hours a week with intense training and then I ride my bike for about 2-3 hours a week. By intense training I mean like crossfit or weight lifting coupled with cardio exercises like running, rowing, and cycling. I don't do it in order to lose weight, I'm currently at 66 kg (181 cm) so I could do with some weight gaining, actually. I just do it because it gives me the energy to do many other things - if I haven't exercised for a couple of days, I get all cranky and tired.

The music made me think of The Dark Knight which made me think just how cool it would be if the Batmobile was a choosable car in this game. Or any racing game, actually.

Viewing the trailers on a bigger screen than the 3DS' screen doesn't do the game any good. It looks horrible graphicswise, though I know that it looks great on the 3DS. Furthermore, those weapons? What is that at the end of the trailer, a laser-bazooka? To me, it just seems the wrong route to choose for such a character. It should be an action-adventure, not a semi-onrail shooter. I don't think I'll buy this game. Tried the demo of it back when 3DS was about to be released and it didn't really appeal to me back then.

I want to pick this up, I really do. But I don't have the time for now so I'll wait till it's even cheaper.

So I did it anyway and completed the game with Luigi so now I'm at the final level. I hate it. I'm finding it so difficult to land on those small boxes in the air without the tanooki-suit and furthermore, when I get to that Toad on a small box, I can't jump high because I have the Tanooki-suit on. That's how far I've made it into that level. I've seen videos of it and the level looks better and easier after this part. I hate jumping onto small things on a small screen. So five minutes later I did it and I was right. Did the "second" part of the level in my first try with Luigi. Now for the Mario-run!

I completed the special world today with Mario. Don't know if I can be arsed to go through it all again right now, might take a break from the game for a while, even though I probably can go through it in a couple of hours with Luigi since I don't have to collect star coins this time. Found the game rather challenging at times, especially in the later Special stages. Adding to this increase in difficulty was my equally increasing stupidity at times. I died a lot of times because of stupid mistakes I kept doing on and on. So I ended up at about 235 retries before my Luigi-go. The 3D was nice but I didn't really use it. It was nice though to have the option to make it pop out of the screen or make it go deeper into the screen; I found the latter more stressing on the eyes whereas the former didn't really do anything to the game. The only issue I have with the game is related to the controls or physics. They were a bit too realistic at times where Mario just totally lost his momentum so he couldn't make a longer jump or a higher jump. It was too hard to accellerate him so he would make the jumps, and this resulted in some frustrating deaths for me as I felt it wasn't really my fault (even though it probably was). But overall I really enjoyed the game! Great fun, great tunes, great graphics! The charm is immediate from the moment you turn the game on.

You could also save the points for 21st December as Trine 2 is released then. It looks like great fun that game. Regarding Bastion, I've still got to complete New Game Plus and the Vigils. I only used one weapon for most of the game so didn't get so many Vigils. Will get them on New Game Plus at some point. I've also just downloaded From Dust but it'll have to wait till I've completed Deus Ex and then Trine 2. Just got it because it was on sale. I really enjoyed Black And White back in the days and this looks a bit like it so I look forward to trying it out.
