Everyone was saying how this game is great, so I tried it to see what all the fuss is about. I’m not disappointed, but I’m not too impressed either. It’s a very good game, but there are better ones too. I’ve finished the first two cases, and started the third one. This is where I took a break as it is late and I will be going to bed soon.

N+ (DS) (COMPLETED)
I’ve completed all of the 39 episodes and this unlocked five more. Now I have to finish these. I already finished one of them. Apart from the last level, the episode was quite easy. I’m hoping I’ll finish the rest of them today.
EDIT: I’ve completed the rest of the episodes, and now the game is officially finished (I got the credits). I’ve also unlocked everything in the unlockables list including the golden ninja. This is a great and challenging platformer that I recommend to everyone.
Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (DS) (COMPLETED)
This was fast. The game isn’t that long and it seems much easier than the earlier sequels (even with the kid mode turned off). I cleared all of the goals in every level and maxed out most of my stats. There’s still the classic mode I can tackle, but it isn’t part of the story, so I consider it a bonus. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes skating, as it’s probably the best one on the DS.
Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (DS)
I decided to try this one. It’s pretty good, so I’ll try to complete it. I already cleared Hollywood and went to Beverly Hills. I maxed out my Lip and Manual stats as well as increased most of my other attributes.
N+ (DS), Part 2
I’ve managed to finish all but two episodes. The two that remain each contain a really tough level that I can’t seem to complete. One requires wall jumping off movable platforms surrounded by mines, and the other is a long section with many simple parts that combine in a near impossible whole. It’s not completely impossible, but it takes skill and practice.
Games Tryout, Take 2
I decided to try a few games, to see if I’ll play them in the future.
Space Siege (PC)
I really don’t like this one. The mouse moves in an unnatural way, and the entire game is overly simplified. The graphics are not so nice either, so they tried to mask it with allot of special effects which didn’t turn out so well. I won’t be playing this one.
Bangai-O Spirits (DS)
It’s nice, but it just isn’t me. I can understand why so many people like it, but it’s not the type of game that I like to play. I may give it another shot later.
Bionic Commando Rearmed (PC)
This one is quite nice. Once you get used to the play style, the game is really fluid, and there’s allot of things to unlock (as far as I can tell). I will probably play this one, but not too soon, since I have other games that I haven’t finished yet.
N+ (DS), Part 1
I got this one yesterday. It’s every bit as great as the flash version. I’ve finished a total of 34 out of 39 episodes, each containing five levels. I think the game is a bit easier on the DS. I’m guessing this one will be completed soon.
River King – Mystic Valley (DS), Part 5
I got two new fishes in the first area. I also got three new cards. I haven’t played for long, so nothing else happened. My pet is one level before being maxed out. I bought all the lure types, so bait really isn’t an issue anymore.
Titan Quest – Immortal Throne (PC), Part 6
It’s multiplayer again. The Orient is cleared, and we’ve gotten to the second half of the expansion. It’s starting to get really difficult. We still have no problem killing, but the damage we receive has greatly increased. Most enemies can kill us in two or three hits. It is a bit easier than with my first character though.
Titan Quest – Immortal Throne (PC), Part 5
I played with a friend in multiplayer. He’s a Wanderer and I’m a Pyromancer. We’ve cleared Greece and Egypt and have just arrived to Babylon. It’s much easier then with my first character.
