Double dragon (gameboy version) on 3ds.

Game is probably the hardest game I've ever played. I only finished this because I could use the savestate option. Cheating I know but there were parts where I would die ten times in a row. The magnet bit and the wall bit are stupid. Final boss was comparatively easy.

The Ark and The Covenant are still AMAZE. Lack of scarabs to actually fight in Reach is a massive fail.

Yeah arguably the two finest levels in the whole series. As much a I adore Reach's campaign (the score yet again is a triumph at setting tone) I'd probably still say Halo 3 is my favourite, just love the art style and overall blockbuster feeling. I was disappointed Reach didn't have some kind of main antagonist. I know it's never been about having a boss to face, but Terrence Stamp's Prophet Of Truth is wonderfully hissable towards the end - "your forefathers wisely set aside their compassion" - and the Gravemind's booming "I have beaten fleets of thousands" really works too.

As for Legendary difficulty on Reach, loved how Bungie included an achievement for doing it solo. A monument to all your sins.

I wouldn't go that far, but they certainly do a good job.

Bastion. What a cracking little game.

I still haven't completed Bastion. I spent hours trying to do the dream challenges with all idols invoked and I got completely burnt out.

I did not know this. On it.

Love it. In my top three of last year. Which ending did you take? Because you know you need to beat it again to get the other ending.

. Not sure if I'll play it again though, just don't have the time.
The music's fantastic, agreed, and although the idea of the DLC attracts, i think I'll wait a bit.

Batman Arkham City.    Excellent fun, first game bought on steam and completed.  Does anyone know if they are planning more DLC?  Harley was fun but a bit short for my liking.

Astro Boy Omega Factor on GBA. The 3rd or 4th time I've been all the way through properly. A real classic and one of my favourite games.

Oh yeah. It's difficult in that some levels will wipe the floor with you the first few attempts, but each one is pretty short and once you find the right strategy it's not bad at all.

Super Meat Boy
What a game!!! I've completed the normal ending but I'm going to go back in and try to polish off the Dark World and find all the bandages. It's a glorious game, never a dull moment. Very similar to Trials in it's so tight you forget that you've got a controller in your hand and you're moving the character with your mind.

Heading back in now

I gave Cotton Alley a quick go, seems stupid hard alright. I'll stick at it for a while

Finished off Binary Domain this afternoon. It was, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable games of the generation. The shooting was solid, the destruction of enemies very satisfying and it constantly kept things fresh throughout the game. The story was enjoyable, OTT action stuff and some the enemies were brilliant.

Just great fun. Would highly recommend.

Binary domain is my goty 2011.

It is excellent though I'll never clear the end of the Dark World or all of Cotton Alley.

That last level on Cotton Alley is a bastard.  I think it was Dubs who pointed out that its Dark World variant is just the same level reversed (top to bottom I imagine), so perhaps not much more difficult.  One day I'll finish the last two sets of Dark World stages, but I'll never be able to get all the bandages.
