Playing Mother 3, I don't get the rhythm system like at all.
Your supposed to press "A" to the beat of whetever song is playing in battle. But don't worry, it doesn't matter if you master it at all really, you can still beat the game without too much trouble. Hell, after playing through four times i still dont have it down.

I never get past two, rarely three :sideways:
Well that princess who knows psi has joined my group, so I guess I won't really need it.
Prototype. This game has everything I dreamt about many times. Wall-running, high-jumping, super-speed, super-strength, gliding… and a fairly interesting story!
I am currently playing LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (PS3) :), I have already beaten the storylines for Years 1-3 :D!
Wow, I forgot how wonky the controls are sometimes in Prototype.
Dark Souls.
The best RPG that ever existed.
Getting ready to do Demon Ruins and head off to New Londo to open the floodgates. That way I can head straight to the bosses there after doing the the boss in Darkmoon Forest. Not sure if I'll want to do it right away though. Getting invaded in the PvP section is easy souls.
Been recently playing Fire Emblem (GBA).
I've beaten the game many times, and it is still fun to play. I'm currently tackling Hector's Hard Mode…..which is hard by every stretch of the imagination. Experience, Funds, Combat, and Survival I'm acing…...but I've only got one star in Tactics. :X
Beat NG+ of Dark Souls. Afraid to do NG++. Yeah…
Now, I'm just waiting for Guild Wars 2's release Friday at midnight.
Prototype is more boring than I remembered :/ I'm glad I haven't bought it a year or so ago. I'll play it through this last time and that's it. I guess it's one of those games that I just "grow out" of.
I'm also playing Skyrim, but it is too a little disappointing to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game and all, it just doesn't feel like Elder Scrolls. Not sure how to explain this… I've played Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion and both those games somehow made me love them in a way. Of course Daggerfall is an interesting case, but still, there's something in it that made me want to continue it someday. Skyrim just lacks that something, at least, for now. Nonetheless, I'll give it a few chances before abandoning it.
After adding about 20 more hours to Skyrim, I decided to get married and settle down. Plus I got a headache always trying to read the text.
Now I'm playing Pokemon White again. Just got the 5th gym badge. My team currently has Smugleaf's evolution, the cool sand croc, ancient turtle, and seasonal deer. I plan to add cute polar bear and little alien guy. Will prolly replaces Smugleaf's evo with the eagle.
They did a really bad job of naming this gen's Pokies. I can only remember about a couple dozen of them at most, yet I can recall the name of all of the first four gens' Pokies.
Screw it, deleted Prototype, now I'm playing the Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom which I bought for 1 euro~
EDIT: This game is cute and great.
Right now, I'm just speeding through Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door. I'm on the second-to-last Crystal Star, and I'm almost at level 20 It probably helps that I keep using the Pit of 100 Trials to build up cash and experience - every time I get a Crystal Star, I try to head ten levels further down, at the very least. So far, the only challenge has been Cortez, and that's more due to his final form.
So I've been playing the Bonk series. Not a bad bit of platforming right there, even if the controls are a bit wonky. I particularly hate how can't jump immediately after landing. I also wish the games weren't so demandin in regards to precision since the gameplay is already unconvential to begin with, but it was still a really fun and innovative platforming experience.
Well, I just beat Bonk's Revenge (Amazingly. I thought I'd have to start over and try again) and so now I've got Bonk 3 and Super Bonk to look forward to.
Now I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 2 again, in an attempt to get 100% on my Proud Mode file. Already at lv. 99, got the Ultima Weapon, Save the Queen+, Save the King+, beat Sephiroth, and a bunch of other stuff.
The other things that remain are to get all the Gummi treasures, S rank every mission…..and....ugh.....get 15,000 points for the Hades Paradox Cup to complete Jiminy's Journal! I have surpassed that number three times, but the problem is I either run out of time or die. It's hell.
Guild Wars 2, and some more Guild Wars 2.
Just beat Paper Mario TTYD, and I just got Tales of Symphonia, so I'll be playing that for the next little bit.
get 15,000 points for the Hades Paradox Cup to complete Jiminy's Journal! I have surpassed that number three times, but the problem is I either run out of time or die. It's hell.
I finally did it! Now just the painful Gummi missions are left…..
Replaying Skyward Sword … damn, this is way too easy. And Fi is annoying as fuck.

That's no photoshopped image right there- that's a legitimate Metal Gear Solid game for the Game Boy Color, and I didn't even know of it's existence until a few years ago.
The title's kind of confusing since it has the same exact name as the PS1 game, and came out 2 years after it. It magically takes place during the same time as the Shadow Moses Island incident (in other words, canonicity is thrown out the window), and instead of being in Alaska, Snake is at the other end of the thermometer- Central Africa.
And, of course, there's some bipedal nuclear tank somewhere. Don't know what that's all about.
I've started playing it seriously this time around and I'm just amazed at how well it stands up today as a GBC game. Ya, you can tell it was made 12 years ago when you play it, but it pushes the system to the limit with the graphics it has and the amount of story to it. Not to mention a whole set of VR Training missions, and a special mode to go along with completing the story mode.
And Snake is rather detailed for a pixelated espionage agent!
Just beat Paper Mario TTYD
You reminded me that I have to beat it, sigh, I just kinda hate the moon.

Really? I didn't have any trouble with it. Then again, I tended to use the Pit of a Hundred Trials for easy levelling between each Crystal Star that I got (I just tried to get ten levels farther than I had previously reached), so I might have been over-levelled. What don't you like about that area?

It's kinda slow-paced unlikely the others areas; even though you can avoid the battles, it's just too slow… I remember almost reaching what I believe was the X-Nauts' base but going all the way back just to save because I was bored.
Thinking again, I guess I was bored because the last time I played, it was for like 4 hours without stopping and the moon just killed me.
I've been doing some EV training in my Pokemon Black,I plan going in the VGCs this year.Other than that I am playing some Batman Arkham City,Payday:The Heist and getting ready for the new Skyrim DLC by completing some random quests.
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale.

playing Agarest: Generations of War 2. The past few games I started, enjoyed and never played again. Although I'm enjoying the battle system in this one, kinda feels like a Radiant Historia vibe to it. And holy crap. I almost did a double take when I saw a traversable World Map in a JPRG again.
I just bought Pikmin. I thought I was doing well, until the fourth day when I ran into three Burrowing Snagrets. The bridge before them is so narrow that I can't get my Pikmin across without some of them falling into the water and dying, and they have a ton of health compared to the rest of the enemies that I've ran into.
It didn't really help that I only thought there were two - I had sent my Pikmin back with the pellets from the first two, so by the time that the third one popped up, I only had twenty Pikmin with me. I'll just try that day again and hope that I can get across the bridge without losing Pikmin this time.
Playing the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus collection for the first time. Also Midievil and Legend of the Dragoon for the first time.
Tales of Graces F. Bought it today and been playing it for the past 3-4 hours. Quite a nice RPG I must admit.

yeah, this was one of the best GBC games period. it's so well put together.
At this moment I am switching between Wing Commander: Privateer, Final Fantasy XI, and Dragon's Dogma.
Dragon's Dogma is boring me so much. The only solace I've found is jumping off of buildings into random people–the fancier they look the more of a THUD I want to give them with my boots--but the darn police keep putting me in jail. One thing I do like is how they show the corruption of how flimsy prisons were back then. I like how you can just pay your way out by bribing a guard. But I'm a completionist, so at the very least I need to get through the storyline. Unless it magically gets a lot better this is not one I will be 100%ing anytime soon.
Final Fantasy XI is a mixed bag. A very colorful, vibrant, glorious bag. I don't play it for the player interaction at all anymore. The reasons I am playing it, even after all these years, is:
I'll have to stop there because I could literally write multiple paragraphs about every single area in the game. They're that fucking good. If FFXI didn't have its areas or music, I would dethrone it as my favorite game immediately. Those are the very huge towers that are erected in my mind as to why FFXI is unforgettable.
Oh also there's the fact that there's a ridiculous amount of stuff to do. The job system has 20 unique jobs (the game doesn't give them to you, either, you have to unlock 14 of those). Multiple crafting systems that were crazy hard and expensive to master, especially back in 2005. It's not the same game anymore, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody (it's something you had to be there for in its golden years to understand), but there's a literal magical quality that keeps reeling me back in every year.
And finally, Privateer. What a classic space-sim game. 10/10. I love the sense of accomplishment (just like FFXI, though FFXI's reward:risk ratio used to be horrible skewed by way of the reward being miniscule and the risk being very high); you start out in those rickety old boat of a ship called the Targus. The little bugger only has one laser and you start out flat-broke, so you have to fight your way out to get any kind of upgrades. Not only that, but the next ship upgrades make your wallet their bitch, so you have to keep flying it for quite a while. Privateer is vast. In my opinion, if you're ever going to play this game for the first time, take my advice: This game can give you a very hopeless, lost feeling. That's when the game is at its peak. So don't just stick in your safe little sector doing the same missions over and over to make sure your ship is safe. Explore. Go to different solar systems, see what awaits you, try not to die in a mess of fireworks. Being safe with Privateer sucks the fun right out of it in my opinion. If you keep on the dangerous side of things, I think you'll have one of the best gaming experiences in your entire life.
Finally got all the medals in Star Fox 64 3D's expert mode. I practically threw my 3DS into the air in celebration when I just barely got Sector Z's medal. So much killstealing!
Currently playing legend of heroes: trails in the sky.
It's a very charming rpg with an interesting combat system which is kind of a mending of fast paced turn based combat and srpg grid combat.
If feels like pretty solid gameplay.
I'm one chapter in and it's pretty fun, its focus is on story so you don't really have to grind like in many other old school rpgs.
The story seems rather on the brighter sight of things as in don't expect dark atmosphere stuff like in smt. That said it seems to have a few of melodramatic undertones. I'm not too knowledgable about the series as a whole yet but it seems to be the first game of a trilogy which is part of a shared universe.
As far as Pikmin goes, I am doing a lot better than I did last time. Only nine days in, and I've already got fourteen parts and completely finished the first two areas. I don't know how people can possibly beat the game in six days, but I'm just happy with my rate of progress so far.
Dealing with the large armoured beetle in the Forest of Hope was annoying (I couldn't damage the thing, so I just picked up the ship part and got out of there; lost a lot of Pikmin because of it, but I replenished their numbers with weaker enemies during the time that I had left), but I managed to beat another unique-looking enemy (a large toadstool that spewed poisonous-looking gas) by punching it death with Olimar, so that was cool.
Full Throttle and Ben There, Dan That. I'm in an adventure game mood, I suppose.
Team Fortress 2 as a Solider carrying a Black Box.
Finished Ben There, Done That and started playing Time Gentlemen, Please.
Playing Final Fantasy IX. Only ever beat it once. Charming game, but damn the battles are slow.
Pokemon Platinum. I decided to try and catch a Feebas, which I was fully expecting to be long and boring, as it was when I did it in Emerald. Luckily that wasn't the case. Not only was a Feebas tile in one of the first couple rows, the first one I caught had a good nature for evolving it. So after I caught it, I headed off to the Veilstone Department Store, bought some poffins, and voilà, I have a Milotic.
Edit: Spent all day playing more Pokemon. One more badge to go, and I'll be ready for the Pokemon League. Here's my team:

Took me forever to get Metro 2033 to accept my settings changes because it has like 4 different config files that I changed before and one of them I set to read only so the game couldn't change anything in it. I finally found it just as I deleted the game so I had to redownload it. Everything's working now, and I'm currently playing through Metro 2033 again, this time on Ranger Hardcore and on max graphical settings. The game is beautiful for sure. Ranger Hardcore is insane though. There's no HUD, so you have to keep track of how much ammo you have by yourself, and you hardly have any. I actually ran out of ammo with my smg during the tutorial. At the same time though, enemies aren't really bullet sponges, every enemy I've encountered so far have been able to be killed in about 2 or 3 shots. Then again, you die really easily as well. I'm not having much problem now but I bet I will later in the game.
I just got Insaniquarium Deluxe, all those good nostalgic memories coming back, its so fantastic.

@Superbear:
Team Fortress 2 as a Solider carrying a Black Box.
What is your steam name.
The news of Ace Attorney 5 got me in the mood to play Investigations again. As neat a game as I remember from the last time I played it a year or so ago, and it's impressive that it manages to have a different game over sequence for literally every scenario where you could get a game over.
Of course it also serves to remind me that when the fifth main game comes out I'll have an Investigations 2-shaped hole in my collection. Such a damn shame, especially since one of the villains you get to take down sounds like the biggest asshole in the entire series and is responsible directly and indirectly for pretty much everything in the series.
Wrapped up Super Mario 3D Land. Working on Gravity Rush atm. On Episode 8. Also picked up the Ratchet and Clank Collection and played the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Demo.
I'm super out of date with game consoles,
but have been meaning to get either an xbox for Jet Set Radio Future,
or a ps3 for the Sony All Stars Battle Royale / -
But other than that, I've been glued onto my DS; playing Bleach: The Third Phantom
aaaaand, Devil Survivor 2 and One Piece: Gigant Battle. Yup.
Pokemon White, fighting Elite4+Alder with 1 Pokemon(legendaries of course) and no items. Its pretty hard, there are some durable Pokemon, Sawk has Sturdy Ability+Close Combat while Krookodile's Intimidate hurts
I just got Insaniquarium Deluxe, all those good nostalgic memories coming back, its so fantastic.

What is your steam name.
"ipakmann" is my name on steam.
i started playing pokemon conquest and i'm really enjoying it.
it's different for sure, but the charm of the original games comes through as far as i'm concerned.
your partners still level up and evolve, and you can venture forth and conquer the other kingdoms :D
I'm training my Pokemon team in HeartGold for Red. It's a long way to go.
Also I start playing a ROM of Pokemon Leaf Green and recording it for a LP.
I do a Nuzlocke Challenge and I lost a lot of Pokes. I'm almost at failing xD
Started playing Xenoblade Chronicles. Half an hour in and it's pretty ballin' so far.
It's weird listening to a British cast though.
