Flashback project 2

Here is what I been playing since my last update. Play some more Zelda 2 and Mario RPG, didn't get to far in both. Game fly sent me Mario super sluggers and it's wii sports baseball with Mario characters. There a story mode which I gave a try, after 20 minutes I was lose and gave up on that and the game. You only really batting and pitching in the game. If someone hit a run in the park the AI will get the ball and then you have to throw it. You don't get to choose to who you just throw it. Pitching you can throw 3 types of pitches and you can curve the ball. There is no ball count in the game so every pitch is a strike, if it hit the ground strike, if its outside strike, if its in Strike. Batting I had a hard time with due to timing, I was ether to late or to soon. When I did hit the ball the game tells me to wave the Wii mote to run to 1st base but the character runs away without the movement. Every character have stats but every character feels the same. I have bought a few games the last 2 weeks, Super smash brothers brawl, Far cry 2, Mercenaries 2, Lego Indiana Jones, Ninja gaiden 2. Super smash brothers brawl is a good game for people who are not good at fighting games. I used the gamecube controller and got the hang of it very quickly. I play some online and gotten very little lag. Im stuck in story mode Im at a place where you stand on moving platforms and I have no idea where to go. Lego Indiana Jones thank goodness that the last Indiana Jones movie is not in the game, that movie sucked so bad! Not much to say about it you get the play the 3 Indiana Jones movies. Far cry 2 the beginning of the game is a 7 min cut scene, I been playing for 4 hours and hopefully that was the only long cut scene. Something that may bug me later in the game is collecting the 221 diamonds. collecting thing in games are not fun, it's mostly there to make the game longer. I mostly been playing Mercenaries 2 this week. I feel like like almost done with the game but I hope Im not because Im having fun with it. Blowing thing up is every fun and looks great. Beside the many glitches I seen in the game the game is great. Some of the people that join my game are not that great, they seen to just want to blow everything up and mess up my game. Those are some of the games I been playing for the last 2 weeks. I am getting animal crossing:city folk in the mail soon and will talk about that next time. I will also play more far cry 2, Mercenaries 2, Lego Indiana Jones, super Mario RPG, Zelda 2 and many more. Man I have to much time on my hands.

Flashback project 1

Its been two weeks since I my last blog talking about catching up with games from the past and keeping up with the current games. Since then here are some of the games I have been playing. I have been slowly going though Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I have been trying not to use a guide but after a hour of wandering around I gave up and used a video guide. I am a little frustrated with it right now, I have to get a hammer and its a long way to get there. Im just about there and I die, game over. I have died and gotten game over from the same enemy 2 times. This Zelda feel more difficult than the first but in due time as I level up it will be more easy. I have also been playing on the Wii virtual console Mario RPG. I remember I rented this but played very little of it. I have played a few hours and got two of the seven. The leveling up a bit slow but not having any problems yet. I will try to play more this week. Last Tuesday I finally got Street fight 4 after a week of wait to cash a check I had. I have played only 4 hours of it since I got it. Im not much into fighting games and not good at them. I have been using mostly Ken and Zangief which I used to defeat Seth on medium. I have not done that much in the game and hoping to spend more time with it in the weeks to come. When I went to get Street fighter 4 I also got a 4000 point card. I got Lost and the dammed the DLC for Grand theft auto 4. I played it but speed run though it so I didn't get any of the story. I will play though it again and not skip the cut scenes. I also got with the points Castle crashers. I have played very little of this because every game online everyone leaves after a minute. With the help from game fly I got Nights: Journey of Dreams. After playing 30 minutes I was journeying to a dream of a better game. I almost fell a sleep playing this during the afternoon. I got as far to what Im guessing is a boss battle lose and ended up all the way back to the begging of the game. I only could focus myself to play a hour of this. That just some of the games I played others game would be for achievement points and some Mario kart trying to unlock everything and played some online.
