What Are You Playing? January 21st, 2012

Posted on Saturday, January 21 @ 11:05:10 Eastern by

I'm still enjoying Dustforce, an indie title you can nab for a song on Steam. There's tons of replay value in here and the scoring at the end of each level really speak to me on an obsessive compulsive level... kind of like Mirror's Edge's time trials.

If I ever made a mistake I'd have to pull the reset trigger straight away. What if I could have come up with an excellent time regardless of that slight misstep? What if I could still nab an S grade on completion if I didn't go back for that small patch of dust?

I'll be ignoring those questions and obsessing even more this weekend in between Advance Wars: Days of Ruin on my 3DS. I'm still wondering though....

What are you playing?

    A little TF2 goodness. I built myself a Phlogistinator. It's a bit annoying to have to give up air blast, but setting off Mmmph in a crowd is a good time. I've barely even started AC:R, so there's lot's of that to play this weekend too.

    My power supply went out on my PC so while I wait for my new one to come from Newegg I've been playing my 3ds. Already beat metroid fusion, minish cap and sonic generations on it. Might do another run through of master quest next.

    I'm replaying through Dragon Age II (it's a great game, screw the haters) and I redownloaded FF7 on my PS3, so I'll be starting that very soon.

    When I get off this goddamn drilling rig, ill be playing Skyrim. Thief class all the way.
    BF3 should be fun still.
    LA Noire - I can always spot the liar but I cant ever pick the correct evidence to back it up. Weird.

    More Skyward Sword, but I think I am nearing the end. Over 60 hours into it now. Then onto Uncharted 3 methinks.
