I downloaded the new Strider game off XBLA and I'm loving it so far. The controls take a little getting used to, and I wish you could skip the pre-boss fight cut scenes after you've seen them once, but those are minor issues, overall it's a great game.

You can.

After the first time they kill you. :p Or the second time you play the game.

Been playing some Watch Dogs lately at a friend's house. While it's better than expected, I admit I'm not that impressed.  I don't think the hacking mechanic can support a full game. The hokey story and horribly unfunny memes also kind of dragged it down for me. ... Then I blew up the streets with a spider tank, so I guess it's not all bad. :P The mini games are also really fun.

Done with D3 already, doc?!

Yeah it's only slightly better than I expected, being that I had no expectations for it (I have no idea why people were so excited for it lol), but it has some fun side mission stuff.  Spider Tank is AMAZING lol

I'm more surprised about the negativity I've been hearing about it today (not just here, but in comments on other sites).  I have a feeling it's a case of the "vocal minority" tho.  Not really sure why you WOULDN'T have been excited about it assuming you're a fan of open world games (and if you're not, then it's obviously not a game for you :P).  I'll say this, from what I played of this & what I played of GTA V, it's a HECK of a lot more fun & interesting than GTA V.

Yeah, that game looks like a ton of fun. I want it.

I love this new 2D renaissance we're going through! Give us more remakes. Even more than that, I'd like to see new sequels to some of these classics.

Cindy-rella just kicked my ass again. I gotta figure out what Im doing wrong.

It's been awhile -but- I remember getting my ass kicked in that fight my 1st one or two tries myself  :-[

Watch Dogs actually started to get pretty boring too me after awhile.  I beat Act 1, did a bunch of side missions, a lot of them were pretty cool, but the story and characters are pretty dull and because the world is just basic modern world setting, it's pretty dull also.  It doesn't have the humor and ridiculousness of Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row to be interesting.  I feel if they had done a more future oriented world, like Deus Ex level of tech, it would've been a lot cooler.  I also heard there were a lot of issues that are plaguing the PC version though I played the PS3 version, which played fine other than terrible pop in for vehicles and such.

Instead of that tonight, I returned Watch Dogs and dove into Awesomenauts with a friend and had a blast! I've had the game since the last winter sale on Steam and just never played it lol It's really fun for a MOBA, it isn't hampered by not being able to play characters, though you have to unlock them, but once you do, you have a good like 15 to 20 characters to play as.  It's also not nearly as competitive as something like LoL or even Smite, so it's a more fun experience than those.

I've settled on a trade for some Digimon with a collector on instagram, and that got me back into wanting to play. So I grabbed my Digimon World: Dawn game, and started my first ever Digimon adventure! So far I'm having lots of fun, even though I hate the level design. I'm constantly lost  :-\

Me growing up in Pokemon Mania and I always wanted to be the world's greatest Pokemon trainer and I was kicking *** too, I hated Digimon just for that reason and I never gave Digimon any true attention.  Is Digimon kind of just like Pokemon?

Yeah I'd check their forums before you do to see if it is a widespread issue at all.  The game is gonna look better on PC, but as with most Ubisoft games, there's not much real benefit playing them on PC.  Other than Far Cry 3 maybe which has mods for it now.
