RE: PS3 Games I should consider buying/playing again
Everyone has already said R&C, so, 3D Dot Game Heroes. Probably my favorite PS3 game.

@chocobop Arcade's Revenge. I must have attempted the Wolverine/Juggernaut stage dozens of times.

RE: Let's Play X-Men Genesis
I remember playing this game as a kid and being absolutely horrible at it, as well as its SNES companion. It's been much more pleasant to watch. :)

RE: Looking to upgrade a few parts on my computer
Holy crap, yes, back up your data. Back it up now. Back it up always, unless you don't care about losing it. Backup costs next to nothing compared to data recovery.

RE: Last game you finished
Finished a few things since I last posted, but most recently Fallen Order.
The combat is inconsistent and its rules seem to be dictated by unknown factors. The enemies follow different physical rules than the player. While interrupting attacks works one way at one point in time, the don't in another. The visual language of unblockable attacks vs. blockable seemed to be permanently bugged, making consistent combat impossible.
The story is fine, but I felt no direct connection to the story. It didn't help that the narrative seemed to be dependent on me knowing more about more of the Star Wars universe than I was. When I was familiar with something, I wash shocked the game did so little to explain itself. What's worse was that the NPCs acted as if we had been friends for a long time, when I just started the game, and music cues inferred specific emotional states incongruant with what I even felt a little bit.
And that ending? Completely unearned and lazy. It was the biggest failure of the game and I did. Not. Care. Despite all of this, it was pretty ok.

RE: The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2009!
I voted for Bionic Commando. It was the wrong Bionic Commando. That being said, it doesn't look like my other choice would have effected the outcome, so I don't feel TOO bad. :)
That being said, the only things I picked that didn't make it were Professor Layton (more niche than I thought?) and Torchlight! I'm surprised Torchlight is nowhere to be seen. Did anyone else play it? Remember it? Care about it at all?

RE: The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2009!
I pre-ordered AC3, and before it was released, played all of the other games back to back. The jump from AC to AC2 was such a welcome set of improvements on a formula I was already really enjoying. The Mario gag didn't hurt either. 🙂
