What cool video games have you played recently?

I bought Street Fighter IV and Soul Caliber IV last night. Both are pretty sweet. I grew up with the Street Fighter games.

Bought Bayonetta for my PS 3 and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle for my Wii last night. Won't get a chance to play them until Friday. Can only buy one more game, then it's no more until Final Fantasy XIII comes out. Wish that sucker would drop already! The excitemtent is killing me!

[Mushu2083]

Started Bayonetta and No More Heroes 2. Is it just me, or does Skelter Helter look like an evil tribute to Cloud Strife from FF XII?

Street Fighter IV is pretty good. I wish I had a arcade stick for it though. Also Super Street Fighter IV is coming out in April.

Although I've had it for a month now I finally got time to start Uncharted 2. Amazing game so far. The first one was good, but this one beats it (from what I've played).

I bought Uncharted 2. I like it so far except I'm still stuck in the Turkish museum trying to steathily get rid of all the guards.

I got caught a lot on that level. The part where the fountain was is what got me. You need to start on the right side and work your way around.

I've been going though Uncharted 2 pretty quick this week. It seems easier than the 1st (although a few levels have been pretty tough), but the story and game play are a huge improvement. Everything I found wrong with the 1st so far has been "fixed" in the 2nd.

Anyway I'm on Chapter 20 right now, and should be able to finish it up before the weekend. I need to go back and play though some of the stages again to locate more treasures, and get more trophies.

I'll probably move on to the God of War Collection after this, so I can be ready for God of War 3 next month. I've never played the PS2 versions, so it should be fun.

Had a video game bender yesterday and played Dead Space, Street Fighter IV (Seth has got to be one of the cheapest boss characters EVER!), Soul Calibur IV, No More Heroes 2, No More Heroes, and Samba De Amigo. I'm so excited for March 9th. It's my future niece's 15th birthday and Final Fantasy XIII comes out. My fiancee is taking the day off work and I'm taking the day off as well. This way we can pick up the game right as Gamestop opens (or even better if it's a midnight release) and play!

Finished Uncharted 2. Need to go back and get some more treasures/trophies I missed, but overall I'm very pleased with the game. Huge improvement over the 1st. I was hooked from the start, and had to finish it. You know the feeling when you stop a great movie, and have to wait to see the rest of it? That's how I was with Uncharted 2.

Unfortunately I experienced my first freeze with my PS3 Slim during Uncharted 2. During Chapter 25 before the final cut scene in that chapter it locked up. Had to press the power button and turn off the PS3. However when I reloaded it was fine and I was able to continue. Had no more problems with the rest of the game.

A quick Google search shows some people have this freeze at the very same spot I did, so it wasn't a random glitch on my system. However 2 of my friends who finished this game before Christmas said they had no freezes at all in Chapter 25 with their launch 60GB systems. Maybe its a Slim glitch? Who knows... AMAZING game though.

I've been so engulfed in my work, that I haven't done much gaming at all this week, but continued Dissidia, FFVIII, and started the PSP remake of FF. Oh, and Played the Uncharted 2 Demo, and a little LOTR: Conquest.

[SmartAleck25]

I played the Ratatouille game on PC. The only good thing about it was cooking, and other minigames.

[DarthPrime]

Snowed/Iced in this weekend, so I'm replaying Uncharted 1.

[Mushu2083]

Thinking of picking up the first BioShock game. I can probably get it for cheap since BioShock 2 game out today.

[ajmrowland]

It's been cheap for some time, and it's a worthwhile game, so yeah get it.

[Mushu2083]

Couldn't find BioShock (found plenty of copies of BioShock 2), so I ended up getting Brutal Legend. It's still in the plastic wrap as I won't have a chance to play it until Friday. It's a good thing because it will keep me busy while waiting for a package from UPS.

I've heard Brutal Legend is pretty good. Speaking about Bioshock I haven't played the first either, and didn't know it had dropped to $20 new (according to Best Buy). I'll have to pickup a copy soon.

I saw a review that said the weapons, etc... were improved in Bioshock 2, but the story wasn't as good as the Bioshock 1 story.

[Mushu2083]

A used copy of BioShock is $17.99 if you like to buy pre-owned. I haven't had any luck so far. I found a used copy at Game Crazy but it was for the 360.

[ajmrowland]

I'm spending too much lately to really think about purchasing Bioshock now.

Let's see about Amazon.

EDIT: a 3rd party Amazon seller has a NEW copy for $14.45

[ajmrowland]

On a side note, if anyones interested, I'm selling a lot of my old games on Amazon. Just look for "RealGeek".

I usually avoid pre-owned unless its out of print. Best Buy has it in my area for $20. Might pick one up this weekend with my 10% off coupon.

Started Brutal Legend last night. I'm at the gate trying to get out to the mainlands. Am I supposed to somehow drive my car over the big giant lizard or am I supposed to stay and fight it?
