Same here, just quickly tried it though as I'm finishing off Batman AC and just started Dragon's Dogma. Looks pretty good and fun, really like the Rockin' Jelly Bean look and feel

Man, I've been meaning to pick up that game. Good to see some other Grasshopper fans on here. On of my favorite game developers (Next to Kojima Productions).
Killer7 being one of my favorites, and No More Heroes a runner-up (I still need to play NMH2!), I have to say I've been disappointed lately in Suda51's games. Shadows of the Damned was alright, felt like more of a chore sometimes. Had some great concepts, but too long and shallow, and annoying enemies. And I feel like Lollipop will be the same way. BUT, at the same time, I still love his games. Its like, even his bad games are good? Haha

No More Heroes was one of my favorite games ever.
No More Heroes 2 made me a sad panda.
Killer 7 I hated the first time I played it and then it just clicked like whoa, and I've been a Suda fan ever since.

Dude yeah. Killer7 is still a game I don't think that will ever be replicated. So bizarre, taboo and badass. Ending was a mindf*** too!

No More Heroes was like Suda's Kill Bill. Everything in it and was awesome. Great ending also. Fourth wall breaking to the max!

Correction!

Ah guys, you're making me want to pick these up and play them... I may still have a Wii copy of No More Heroes somewhere at home... if only I didn't have a tall pile of PS3 games I need to finish or even start...

I'm looking for a good dungeon crawler for the PS3. I read Dungeon Siege has got a disappointing item list and Dungeon Hunter isn't too much fun with long load times... Any other recommendations? I'm looking for something relatively mindless such as the PS2 Baldur's Gate games... Just lots of opportunities to get loot and not think too much (which is why Demon's Soul and its crazy difficulty might not make it for me).

Lord of the Rings: War in the North was made by Snowblind (who made BG:DA and the two Champions of Norrath games) but it got kind of repetitive towards the end. You can pick up War in the North pretty cheaply (CE even) these days though so there's that. Alternatively you could try out the Marvel:Ultimate Alliance games (middling, IMO), Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom and also Sacred 2 although S2 isn't exactly mindless.

I've played through all of them and, to be honest, none are quite as good as the dungeon crawlers of last gen. If I had to pick one out of those listed, I'd go with War in the North.

Loved the ending of Killer 7, loved the ending of NMH too. Gotta say I'm loving LPC too. My wife fell asleep on the couch and I started the 2nd level and she got pissed because people were just yelling and cussing.
Classic Suda.

Just started this the other night. It reminds me of a mix between No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned. Freaking loving it, but it can never be too over the top for me. If you haven't played a Grasshopper game, maybe start with No More Heroes for the Wii (the motion controls just make it a blast to play). Grasshopper's always great in my book though, because even if they made a game that wasn't absolutely great, at least they're trying something different. We need that more in console gaming.

Other than that, finished up Earthbound (Mother 2), and it was truly awesome. I'm even leaning toward it being my favorite RPG ever, if not the best I've ever played. It's really that good. Played through Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Limbo, and after Lollipop Chainsaw I'll take on Lone Survivor.

On the old school we beat Super Mario Lost Levels after what seems like forever (probably 6 months playing once a week), and then we laid waste to Ghouls and Ghosts on Genesis, so now we are starting on Ninja Gaiden 3. Which for those not in the know, Tecmo made those games insanely hard.

i love breaking out the old school games, too. just started up another round of "vagrant story"... i hate it that i love the weapon system in that game.

Now that is a game I would like to play a remake of. Keep everything the same, just redo the graphics.

Vagrant Story was one of Squares most under-rated games. Great graphics and style with cinematics. But damn was the game tough...

You should give Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a try. It is an easy Hack N Slay RPG with loot dropping from almost every mob (like Diablo, but a little more gameplay, interaction and story).

Fellow fighting game nerds, take note -- EVO 2012 is on right now, finals are Sunday night. I know what I'm doing all weekend and it's not mowing the lawn or going to the beach.

I'm trying to follow as much as I can on twitter as I'm stuck at work, but I'll be watching the AE2012 semi's when I get off.

Considering bringing in my laptop tomorrow to catch all the UMvC3 pools tomorrow.

COD MW3 and Black Ops maps are 50% off for the next few days. Finally getting the MW3 maps now.

Speaking of Square, as far mid-school games go (not quite old enough to be old school), you can't go wrong with Dragon Dragoon aka Drakengaard. Amazing music, twisted, genius characters, and the finale? Giant babies, dragons and F-18s? Wow.

When I turn on my PS3 and look at my friends list, I notice a lot of people playing Netflix. It must be an awesome game

Stronghold Kingdom, Team Fortress 2 still and Unstoppable Gorg all via Steam and wait for MechWarrior online

Thinking about getting a PSP. Still waiting for a reason to get a Vita...
Games are cheap now, and I want to play some Lumines, Ultimate Ghost n' Goblins, Gradius and Parappa the Rapper portable.

And part of me wants to get a 3DS XL.
Tons of games for its library, and well, good Nintendo fun. I guess?


Anyone else on the handhelds?

I have been enjoying Osmos HD on my phone, its also available for PC and iOS.

Besides continuing with Dragon's Dogma on PS3 I've been pretty much playing Disgaea 3 on Vita for most of my gaming time in the last month or so... and I find it excellent! I've been tempted to trade in my 360 for a 3DSXL, I haven't turned my xbox on once in the last six months or so...

I liked it initially but then felt it was too repetitive and fell out...
