I've heard nothing but good things about it. Monster Hunter 3 though is why i'm going to pick up a 3DS, so it's going to be awhile before i get a chance to play Fire Emblem.

OK. I dusted off the 3ds (meant to sell it after I realized it was a mistake and bought a Vita, but never did)... and got Fire Emblem Awakening.

I played the early stages. A bunch of cut scenes and dialogue. Still has that Nintendo - Japanese feel to it. 3d is pretty decent. Game play is OK looks like it has good potential. Pretty linear so far, but Im just in the beginning. It looks like it will be neatly-bound and not overly complex which is great.

fantastic game, picked it up a few weeks ago. i am new to the fire emblem series (now that i think about it, it might be the first one released in north america) so i picked the easy settings route and the option to get my characters back if they die. i am about half way through the campaign and the settings i chose make the game relatively linear. if you go the harder route it looks like it can be brutal, which i will do my 2nd go around. it's one big chess match with a good story line and solid, solid graphics. it's a must for the 3ds. great streetpass features as well (exchange weapons, battle teams on various maps, etc).

this is going to be a strong year for the 3DS, nice looking crop of games coming out...

Wow, IGN gave GOW: Ascension a 7.8

I will still be playing this game for sure.

Finished Dishonored last night. Fun game, seemed a bit easy at times on the Normal setting though.

Starting Red Dead Redemption next. I know only a few years late on that one but I got it for $15 at Target. :thumbup:

Red Dead Redemption is a top 5 all time game IMO

Went back to AC Brotherhood before starting any of my many new games/dlc haha

I like going stealth in games rather than running into a room with my dick out and guns blazing. So I really liked this one.

Ah. My fault

I was talking about Red Dead

peacefrompaul

And Red Dead isn't a stealth game at all...

Hope you enjoy it, though.

I thought that was a lot of times for Dishonored.

Red dead was a great game if you like to get drunk while playing games. I loved it, I was often a bit hammered, saying to myself, well, here I am a bit drunk in the open prairies on my horse and that there raccoon is gonna get shot! And i'd do some of the game and barely remember what I accomplished.

I used to get stoned every time I played but I would get sucked into games so bad that I would get kinda freaked out at times. Couldnt play games like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, got too freaked out. :shock: I liked sneaking and shooting people, still do. I tend to not play when I am drunk though for some reason. I guess I prefer to do other things when drunk like listen to or play music. I will give red dead a drunk run tonight though.

yeah, being high would definitely be better for Red DEad. Its a huge game, and sometimes, there's not a lot going on in between destinations. But I loved it.

Yeah, the Fallout games were great. Just the right balance of shooting humans to nonhumans.

Red Dead is one of my alltime favorites. I haven't played it in a loooooong time. I may have to pop it in and play through it again!

I have and played Dishonored. I thought it was just ok. I actually got bored with it after a while. Got toward the end without finishing it. I may need to start over. I tried to be as stealthy as possible, but sometimes you just gotta light some people up!

Lol, that is exactly how I was with Dishonored too. It was fun but it got a little boring toward the end. I did finish though. I had to kill those bastards. :evil:
