This one is finally out, so I’ve been playing allot of it to. I’ve completed 13 out of a total of 24 levels (or 14 out of 25 if you count the temple). The Warrior is destroyed and I got two of the four powers with the third one really close (I need a little over 20 light seeds). Besides The Warrior, I’ve also fought the Concubine and the Alchemist. Right now, I’m getting ready for some backtracking, since I’ve completed all of the available levels, but I still don’t have a new power. I like the direction this game is going. It’s much simpler than the Sands of Time series, but it’s also more fun.

EDIT: I’ve got another power and with it, I’ve managed to complete three more levels. That makes it 16/24. Right now, I’m ready to face The Concubine for the last time.

I ordered it on Sunday, and got it on Wednesday. I’ve been playing it since, so goodbye life. It’s every bit as great as I imagined. I started a Human Paladin on Azuremyst Realm and got him to level 16. I’ve explored a few areas and solved about 80 to 90 different quests.

A friend ordered his copy at the same time, so the plan was to create characters we would only play together. The problem is he has other friends that already play the game, so we wanted to play on the same Realm. This would be great if he hadn’t told me the wrong Realms for three times already. That is why I also have 2 characters bellow level 10 that I won’t be playing anymore. Tonight, I hope we will start on the right Realm.

As for the second expansion, I won’t be buying it until the price drops a bit. As I understand, most of the additions are high level anyway.

Since I now finally have flat rate DSL, I decided to start an MMORPG. A few of my friends started playing to. I created a magician, and got him to level 21 within a few days. The game got upgraded since the last time I played, so it’s much more fun now. I wonder what kind of event they prepared for Christmas.

I finally have it, and it’s great. I haven’t completed Fallout 2, but it didn’t affect this game. I created a diplomatic type character with an emphasis on the repair, speech and stealth skills. I also decided to invest in small guns, so I can use sniper rifles. I got out of Vault 101 and reached Megaton. There, I solved a few quests and disarmed the bomb. I’m level 4 right now and I still have much to do in Megaton, so I won’t be leaving so soon.

I’ve been playing this one exclusively (although not too much). I got my first esper, and I got back to Rabanastre. Most of my characters are nearing level 20. The game is really great, definitely one of the better Final Fantasy games (as hard as it is to choose). Final Fantasy VII is still number one, but this one is really close.

This is pretty much the only thing I’ve been playing for the past few days. I played it with a friend in coop mode. We unlocked a few characters, and finished a few stories. It’s a fun and simple game, but with enough room for depth and skill for it not to get too boring.

For the last few days, I’ve been mostly playing Civilization IV, so nothing special there. I’ve also played some other games.

Far Cry 2 (PC)

Reached 52% on Far Cry 2 and stopped there. The game started out good, but now it’s getting really boring, really fast. It’s just the same old thing over and over again. It turns out I got it a bit wrong. Those faction leaders weren’t really faction leaders, but just the local bosses, so there’s a whole bunch of guys to kill. I also got a few new buddies. I hope they won’t die this time.

The Witcher – Enhanced Edition (PC)

I started the original, but never completed it. Since this came out, I decided to try again. I didn’t play much; just the tutorial intro, up to my first meditation.

Final Fantasy XII (PCSX2 – PC)

Since some PCSX2 plugins got updated, I can finally play this game on the PC. It works almost flawlessly. In five hours of gameplay, it crashed only once. I got to the part where I have to save Penelo with the airship. Vaan is level 10.

Since I haven’t been playing coop for a long time, I decided to try it solo. It took me two hours, but I started and completed it today. It was on easy, so I’ll try on a higher difficulty later. I unlocked all of the standard challenge stages and two secret ones, so that’s another thing I can waste my time on. It’s a great game, so I’m really looking forward to the 3D sequel.

I installed this one about two weeks ago, but I haven’t been playing it much. I don’t know why, because the game is excellent. I played almost the entire day yesterday and got the story 22% complete. I also completed a bunch of side quests, and finally got a new stash of malaria pills. One of my buddies is now missing in action, sadly. I didn’t notice he was in trouble, so by the time I realized it, he was already gone. I don’t know if he comes back after a while, so I’m doing missions for other buddies, including the one I saved recently. I will try to play some more today.

EDIT: I’ve completed 42 percent of the story and got to a whole new area of the game which is, as far as I can tell, as big as the first one. I lost all of my buddies in a gunfight, but I think that’s how it was supposed to happen. The leaders of both factions are now dead, so I’m not really sure what will happen next.

Yes, a new Castlevania game! It’s a bit different than the other ones, but it’s still Castlevania. I started playing it today, and have already defeated the first two bosses. Right now, I’m on the prison level. The second boss was a bit though, but once I memorized his attacks, I managed to defeat him without taking too much damage.
