Click on the yellow smiley face and look at the bottom right hand corner of your Mii and it will have the code.

Ummm wanna swap codes?

So for the last two weeks more than a week has been spent with a controller in my hands. And now I've got to play through the entire thing again as an evil chick. The only problem being that it is almost physically impossible to make a female character even halfway attractive in that game. That may sound shallow, but just ask yourself if you're capable of using a character, male or female, that looks like an inverted anal gland.

Hell no. I was around twenty-three when I traded in my old 360 and became obsessed with my Gameboy Advanced. I don't know how I would have gotten through the past few years without the Fire Emblem series.

I can't relate to that because every game that I create a female avatar in always looks pretty damn good. I haven't run into that issue of having horrible presets to work with.

Also Fire Emblem is awesome. I love that series but I haven't played them on handhelds until Awakening on 3DS. Oh not true, I actually played Sacred Stones as well but I remember playing two of them that were on Gamecube.

Mass Effect is notorious for having ugly female presets. I was just looking up how to make a good one on the interwebs and apparently the best anyone can do is make one that's highly decent. Sad.

You need to play the first GBA Fire Emblem. Sacred Stones was good, but that one is better. You don't have the training area so you have to be much more creative leveling up your characters. I've pretty much perfected it to the point that it takes so torturously long to actually play the game that I can't even bring myself to finish it. Awesome.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadows of Chernobyl

I finally decided to grab some of the more popular mods to help update this game, with the Complete 2009 mod. It's basically combines a lot of the patches and fixes from other mods, but also adds some updated textures, ragdoll physics, localization, and pretty much everything anyone could want. It really does a lot to make this already amazing game stand up against some of the newer FPS/RPG games from recent years.

I played SoC vanilla, but Clear Sky demanded a decent mod to enjoy it in my opinion. Clear Sky had so many annoyances without mods, SoC felt fair, but was brtutal. A single bandit with a makarov could end me if I played like a fool, but in Clear Sky the enemies had this cheapness which completely sucked me out of the environment. You start out with an AK that couldn't hit the side of a barn, yet enemies with the same guns could snipe you across the map, and that god damn machinegunner after I exited the swamps made me give up for a few days. I haven't played CoP, how's that compared to the other two games in the series?

Well I finished Sleeping Dogs about a week ago, really great game. Definitely recommend it if you like open world games with an emphasis on story.

Thomas Was Alone

finished this the other day. At first I thought it was only about the characters and how you the player interacted with them, but as the story kept progressing it got more interesting as to where Thomas and his "friends" were headed off to do and what happens as a result. definitely one of the real surprises in the indie gaming scene for me.

Prey

borrowed this from my friend a while ago, and just got around to playing it. I'm about halfway through this right now, and as far as I know it was a launch title for the 360 and was also on PC, but I just played the 360 version.

But yeah, this is not a completely oldschool FPS like the original Doom or Quake, but a little later in the genre's development. Think around the time of Doom III. As a result, this has a good older FPS feel and some interesting ideas in the gameplay. You play a character named Tommy who's visiting his Native American grandfather and his girlfriend on a reservation, and him and them are abducted by an alien race who wants to enslave them, with his grandfather killed in the process. Tommy now has to save his girlfriend and then the world and yeah you already heard this story before.

Anyway, what really makes this game fun is the gameplay. You mess with some of the alien technology including their weapons and vehicles, and the weapons are pretty cool and creative themselves(there's these creatures crawling on the ground that you could use as poison grenades) as well as Tommy's own powers to "Spirit Walk", or a power to separate himself from his body that his grandfather showed him through visions. You use it to get past barriers, solve puzzles and fight enemies. While they're not the toughest puzzles to solve they still break up the shooting bits with enemies pretty well. And also, the shooting is really fun and satisfying too. There's also these magnetic paths that allow you to walk upside down and on the sides of the walls, and it's pretty cool when you're shooting at an enemy that's at a 90 degree angle from you. That, and they could come in through portals that lead to different parts of a level, and it can be trippy at points. In a way this whole game is like one big peyote trip. XD

But yeah, if you're looking for something in the vein of Doom III with some interesting gameplay then give this a shot.
