Well except the second part of the theseus fight.

Dear god, whose idea was it to give the guy aoe one hit kills that are blasted constantly while 10 minotaurs fight you in two minotaur waves?

It's funnier when you consider he was probably one of the easier bosses on other difficulties, yet somehow beats out everyone by a huge margin once you hit titan.

I haven't even gotten that far :P
I just tried Titan mode briefly after beating the game on normal (which wasn't very hard) and the colossus boss on the first stage is giving me troubles <_<
If he hits you, you're pretty much dead :|
I read about the Theseus fight though, sounds like a pain in the arse.

The colossus wasn't all that hard.

Part one, stand near the fingers of the hand, attack until his hand goes back, roll left. Repeat until his movement changes, swing towards the center (or use PR) to dodge the two handed attack, then jump back to the left side of the area. Repeat 3 times. Mini game. Then just repeat the process a second time.

Part two, stand near the left side of the center of the area (right at the edge), when he does that attack that causes those blue lines, just rush him and use the BoA until he's dazed. If he punches the center of the area, just double jump just before he hits the ground and you'll dodge the waves. Grab BoO. Repeat a second time, this time using PR is a good idea. For the third time, just stand near his severed hand and hit R1.

Part three, just slash and run/roll back.

You can get through the fight pretty easily without getting hit, or only geting hit but his weak attacks (the ones that cut about 1/4 of the meter, he uses them mostly during part 1).

And the theseus fight is one major pain. It took a couple tries and a pretty good upgrade setup before I finally downed that guy. My only wish was that kratos injure him further for all the retries I used.

The part where you repeatedly bash the door on his head has probably never felt as fulfilling :P

And it's the part 2 that gave me trouble <_<
I always managed to get hit by the double arms, one shotting me. Eh, if I actually try I'll get past it eventually. Haven't had much time to try in a while though. Being masochistic really helps for Titan mode though :P

Shining Force CD and Twinkle Tale translated.

I beat the demo of Eragon (PC), am thinking of buying the full version.

Is it as bad as the movie?

No, I've beaten the DS version, and the PC demo, the game is a pretty good hack'n'slash. Google for some vids and you'll see what I mean.

Now I get it, it's good because they don't talk. :P

/googles

Almost done with Portrait of Ruin.

Beat Aria of Sorrow, and Harmony of Dissonance a couple months back.

Just finished Breath of Fire 4. Kind of disappointing, but I did like the "fake" boss battle against the party. Take that, you whiners!

Mario Kart.

God Of War, before getting II. :nod:

I've beaten this relatively new adventure game, Secret Files: Tunguska. It's a mystery why I played this when The Longest Journey is sitting next to me on a shelf... :wacko:

I know, I totally have to finish TLJ. Or more like, start from the beginning again, because I don't remember anything from the story. :P

Haha, I too beat Tunguska a couple of days ago. And guss what, I have Dreamfall sitting on my shelf. :lol

SPOOKY! :wacko:

I beat Turok Evolution for PS2 :gunner:

Just beat Kingdom Hearts for the first time not long ago...

I have beaten Harry Potter and the Chamebr Of
Secrets.

After 2 long weeks of off and on gameplay, I finally beat the long game of (PSX) Front Mission 3. :OMG:

Red faction 2 (still working on RF1). The last boss was insanely hard, not because he was physically hard to fight, but because every time I died I had to re-watch an unskippable 2 minute cutscene intro to the stupid fight. :O Plus once I destroy the battle armor the boss is walking around in, he gets out on foot and has a one-hit-kill rail gun.
The ending was seriously shorter than the last boss introduction. @_@

I've unlocked everything in WarioWare: Smooth Moves (including the multiplayer stuff, Bungee Bros. is awesome :wacko: ) except the posecards, so I guess I could say I've beaten it.

Now I wonder wether I should get Excite Truck, Sonic And The Secret Rings, SSX Blur, or just wait for the european version of either Super Paper Mario or Trauma Center to be released, which I'm guessing is a long time from now. :(

I managed to beat Red Faction. I was having trouble, but then I remembered the sage advice of Skippy: "Just shoot it, Fox!".
It's kinda disappointing, actually. In a game that sells for it's unique geo-mod capabilities, all the enemies including bosses are just defeated using gunfire, and all that geo-mod's useful for is finding secrets. I think there was one whole point in which I used geo-mod to kill an enemy rather than just shooting them, when I shot my rocket launcher at a rock bridge late in the game, dropping the mercs standing on it down a chasm.

Suikoden V finished it 2 weeks ago , great game !

The characters are interesting , its like reading a book.

I just Beat Hitman Contracts

The last level was bad ass, like it came out of some movie.

Finished Lylat Wars (Starfox 64) for the first time ever. :P

Well, between Excite Truck, Sonic, and SSX, all of which I own or, in the case of SSX, used to own, I'd say Excite Truck is the best. It doesn't look like much, but it's insanely fun. And custom soundtracks makes it even cooler.

I'm pretty sure Howie's playing it on the Wii's Virtual Console, on which it was just released.

Right, Howie?

(Also, sorry for answering for you...I've got a bad habit of doing that...)

I just more or less finished Wild Arms 4. This game may possibly have the most cliches I have ever seen in a game. Thats not to say the game is bad, and the combat is fairly fun because of the HEX system,along with the platforming, puzzles,extras,and bosses(this is the only game in which I have gotten,and am still getting, my ass kicked by porno mags). This game has actually motivated me to play the rest of the games in the series(and has me hoping that WA5 is released in the states,I hear that improves on everything I liked about WA4). Also, I hear that not many people liked Wild Arms 3, so I'd like to hear anybody else's take in it.

Virtual Console, yeah. :P

My brother have a N64, but I was never allowed to play SF64, just watch when I was a kid. And I never pirate games anymore, which is why I bought it for VC rather than emulate it. ;P

I finally beat Okami a few weeks ago. @_@

I thought Wild ARMs III was really good, actually. It and V are the best in the series, in my opinion. It's not really like IV in the slightest, and it bears much more resemblance to the first game. But it has a pretty interesting story, an absolute ton of stuff to do, and puzzles that are actually challenging. ^_^ No hex battle system, though, unfortunately. :3

I really didn't like IV. =/ It had a shamefully awful story, easily one of the worst this generation, in my opinion. Jude and Yulie both irritated me immensely, and not a single plot 'twist' caught me even remotely off-guard. About its only redeeming feature story-wise for me was Raquel; it was nice to see a female RPG character that was so far from RPG girl stereotypes. ^_^ It's a shame that the other three party members were all taken from the big book of RPG cliches.

The battle system was nice. Nice enough for me to finish it, but...eh... Even that was ruined by the fact that the battles were way too easy. If the difficulty was bumped up a few notches, it would have been enough to save the game in my eyes. Still had cool boss fights, though. (it's been a while, but I seem to remember really liking the one with the guy who could stop time and walk out of the way of your attacks)

And yeah, if you liked Wild ARMs IV, you'll definitely like V. It keeps most all of the things that were good about IV, and throws away a great deal of what wasn't (it's still a bit too easy, though). Plus it actually feels like Wild ARMs again. That was something that always annoyed me about IV. Without the Wild ARMs title, it could practically pass as any other generic anime-inspired RPG...

Yeah,I agree with you on everything about the story,it's not all that great.
It didn't bother me all that much though. I'm gonna hold off on getting Wild Arms 3 so that I can get Atelier Iris and Atelier Iris 2 while I can still get them from the store.

On an unrelated note,I beat Eve of extinction. I hate it. I will however continue to play the game as I have nothing better to do with my time.

since I play like ten games at a time I have comepleted 5 in the past 2 weeks.

super paper mario ( best game ever )

final fantasy XII ( missing only one hunt but i beat the last boss )

metroid prime ( borrowed from my friend. pretty easy)

twilight princess ( pretty ezy, they should make a master quest like they did for ocarina of time ).

metal arms- ( about 20 hours but they are 20 hours of gaming goodness ).

Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel... Urk... Don't ask :P
And, MACH for PSP, which is a good game.

Metal Gear Solid 2.
Eh. I think I understood it a lot more this time through.
Basing all the unlockables on the stupid dog tags is stupid. :(

Super C (NES), awesome game :nod:

Resident Evil 4, though only the main game. There are also couple of unlockables that are still to beat :D

I just beat Silverfall (PC) a few minutes ago, now to figure out how to switch difficulty levels.

Finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Virtual Console version, I still haven't found my old GBA copy :wacko: ). Moving onto Ocarina Of Time. :nod:
