Controller Chronicles X: Progressive

April 18, 2010 at 10:20 PM (Destrono's Controller Chronicles)

Wow, no posts from anyone else since the 4th? Shocking. Anyway, I’ve got some fresh gaming updates to talk about.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest (VC)

While the original DKC was a very good game, the sequel was even better.  The challenge was satisfying. The whole pirates theme was neat. The music was great and the levels were creative. Only issue I had with the game was paying to save. Overall,  good entry in the series.

I’ll tackle #3 in the future, but for now, I’ve had my fill of barrel blasting.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PS2)

I finally got 100% completion on LCS early Sunday morning, now marking all the GTAs I own on PS2 complete.  I now have 4 GTAs left to complete in my collection. Go me.

Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 (Xbox)

I beat the remaining unfinished games in this compilation (Magic Sword, Black Tiger, Block Block,  SF Turbo, Varth: Operation Thunderstorm,  Avengers,  1941: Counter Attack) the previous day. Avengers was the only game in the collection I didn’t have fun playing. Everything else, varying degrees of enjoyment.

Now on to “Side dishes” & “Main Courses” in my game playing rotation..

Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 (Xbox)  (Side Games)

Continuing with the Capcom love, I’m going to beat the last 16 games in this collection.  These games include 3 more versions of Street Fighter 2 (yeah, yeah), 2 entries in the 19XX series, and Gn’G games (I’ll probably save those for last, haha).

Since my Xbox collection has the most unfinished games (most of them being compilations), I’ll probably exclusively beat games on this system for the time being.

Hitman: Blood Money (Xbox) (Main Game #1)

Replaying on the Expert difficulty. Previously beaten on Rookie and Normal.

Devil May Cry 2 (PS2) (Main Course #2)

I’m doing a Lucia playthrough this time around.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2) (Main Game #3)

Going to do another main game playthrough of this. I did a Very Easy playthrough the first time. I’ll either do a Normal or Easy run next.

With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, my gaming will take a backseat, but I’ll play these games when I can. In the meantime, I’ll be coming up with some material based on what I’m playing, and yes, Future editions of System Failures are coming in May.
