X-Men Arcade coming to PSN, XBox Arcade, & Zune Marketplace.

Ah, one of the few arcade games I played all the way to the finish.

In that case I'm obligated to inform you about BRAID.

So today I got Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS. Time to play!

Phoenix Wright/Professor Layton Crossover!

I don't know much about Professor Layton, but I'm a big fan of Phoenix Wright! Sign me up!

Professor Layton is all about solving puzzles. Not a Phoenix Wright fan, but it does make sense for these two to cross over. It's a perfect match up.

Agreed.

Would you say Professor Layton is worth checking out? Not much point in checking out a crossover when I'm familiar with one half of the characters and gameplay.

It depends if puzzles are something you're into. The game can have a very slow pace to it because there are so many puzzles and can take a while to solve. But the puzzles are fun and really do make you think. The one thing it definitely proves is that I sure as hell will never be no Batman-level detective. :lol:

Also: I really hope the Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright games ends up coming to the states. It would suck if it stayed Japan-only.

Considering how popular they are over here, I'd say it's garunteed.

Vanquish is pretty fun. I'm surprised I hadn't heard more about it since it's getting really good reviews. One of the few if only times I've discovered a game on the shelf and rented it spontaneously.

IGN has benn raving about it for a while. Although I didn't know it was already out. The reviews are great but the marketing was terrible. The same thing happened with the new Castlevania.

 

[Ice]

Anyone got CoD: Black Ops? Picked it up the other day and just started playing it. So far it's pretty sweet.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

I shot Benny in the head.

And I didn't **** it up like he did.

Revenge is sweet.

Nintendo trying to trademark catchphrase

The video game company has filed a patent for the popular phrase "It's on like Donkey Kong!"

 

[Zombipanda]

So.... Red Dead Redemption is quite possibly the most perfect game ever made.

I'll hold off on definitively calling it that until I spend more time with multiplayer, but man is it beautiful.

I hate FPS as you all know so i'm always surprised when I find one i like. But I like Medal of honor on ps3 (and come with a free MOH frontlines game, neat)

I didn't know.

Hasn't the new MoH been getting mediocre reviews around the board?

Does that matter? I like it so I spent my money on it. Plus it seems more tactical than the COD crap ( I say Crap as COD was good but now just sells on it's name alone)

Been marathon replaying the Assassin's Creed franchise.
