Ah, so nostalgic, I remember playing with my brothers years ago

Sadly Arena isn't high in demand to be fixed.

Alright, I made my way through Donkey Kong Country and it far surpassed my expectations. The gameplay is constantly reinventing itself and actually doesn't feel aged, and the difficulty is fair throughout the whole game. The visuals and especially the music really made the picture for me though. I was familiar with one or two of the DKC tunes but I was kinda expecting a bunch of 16-bit DK remixes, so this was a huge surprise.

CS:GO. For PS3.
I suck. But hey, I don't run and gun all the time!
The controls feel wanky and shitty, and also, the game's locked at 30 FPS. Fuck that shit.
Did Ubisoft stole the other half because of the "experience" ?
Ah, yes, sorry for the evil and invisible "PC MASTR RACE", just that this game is way better in PC.

Good to hear you're liking Donkey Kong Country, Keane!
I've been playing Yoshi's New Island and I have to say, I'm really enjoying it! The gameplay is very close to the first one with some new stuff. Not much, but it's good. The visual style is okay. I just don't think 3D character models and 2D backgrounds work well with this game. But the music, it's alright for most of the time, but it gets to the point where it's so bad it's hilarious.

Yes the DK Country trilogy is stunning, I still own it on my snes (I got all three for $45, totally worth it.)
The games have aged really well, even the 3D sprites. The only levels I kind of think were unfair were the underwater levels, DK's sprite was sometimes a little too big for these levels and you could easily hit traffic.
One thing I love about DKC is just the fast paced gameplay. You always heard people bragging about how fast Sonic games are but man, the DK Country series was insanely fast paced and frantic, and I loved it!
Recently just bought Ratchet Deadlocked for PS3. I've never played it so this is my first time. I read the HD version had few issues but I've yet to come across any. Unfortunately I was only able to play one level, fucking college work.

Yeah expand dong is pretty great, It's right up there with Rayman 1 for me. The second one's been good too so far, though I've heard the third game was a bit underwhelming? I mean, aside from the obvious fact of Kiddy Kong.

It just felt like a downgrade from not only DKC2, but even the original. But I'd be lying if I said the worlds were not at all insanely vibrant and colorful.

I never really liked DKC 3. I don't really like its enemy designs and the game just doesn't fit well with me. But yeah, the backgrounds do look amazing.

Still playing a bit through Ratchet: Deadlocked, I'm starting to see some of the problems of the HD port, few clipping issues, it never happens in-game but appears repeatedly on cutscenes, aside from those, it's a pretty awesome game so far I'm really enjoying it.
I've been IV+EV training some Pokémon in Alpha Sapphire and playing Zuma Deluxe on my computer.

Both those games look like something I'd find while browsing Newgrounds, lol. Not a bad thing, mind you, they just had a lot of those oldschool type games.

Turns out I'm still playing through Final Fantasy VII, making REALLY slow progress due to college, but I'm having fun regardless. RPG's are just really hard to find time for now with college and all... I really do miss having a lot of time for videogames.
And while I'm playing that I also have Ratchet: Deadlocked and Metroid Fusion on my hands.
