BG&E was a great game, and while I wouldn't neccessarily call it short(I took my time trying to collect all the pictures), it definately ended before I felt I was done playing the game. Play this after the insanely difficult(but fun) VJ.
PN03..... played the demo, saw nothing worth playing there, spin, shoot, spin, shoot, spin, shoot. atleast thats how the demo played.
Eternal Darkness... This game was good for the atmosphere and the story telling. the control could've used some work, but I did manage to beat it 3 out of 4 times and I got bored somewhere in the 4th run through(gotta beat all four colors). I would save this one for last, not because its the best(I would give that to BG&E), just because this is the one that would probably take up the most time.
Rayman 3.... never played it, actually haven't played Rayman since his outing on the N64 oh so many years ago. I will pick this one up as soon as I see it in the $20 or less bin.

I bought Rayman 3 sometime in 2003 for $20. Played through it once, and that was it. Never went back to it, for some reason. I liked Rayman 2 better.
I got stuck in the same level of Viewtiful Joe as BNM, and just traded it on a website for Fire Emblem, which I think was an awesome deal.
ED is another game I never went back to. Beat it once, and that was it. Way overhyped, in my opinion.

besides I get distracted really easily and tend to give up even easier when I know I have another new game to play.

hm while we're on the topic if suggesting games. i saw From Russia with Love real cheap at my local retailer, as well as XIII. i've been doing not hing but playing animal crossing (started over after two years of not playing) on my cube and im looking for some new-old games that i missed out on. are either of those two any good? because their pretty cheap... the 007 game didnt even come out that long ago and im sure it was listed as a new copy, not a used one, so i was worried about the low price. although, i did pick up geist and metroid prime to for 8.98 each at a toys r us once so ... i dont know what to think..
any suggestions??

I'm in a similar situation with F-Zero GX. Although all the blame for my departure can be laid solely at the feet of the ass - hole who thought the save file not only needed to be un-copyable due to arcade unlockables, but also un-f*ing-moveable. Asshole.

Pro: Yes but after that, do you prefer to dodge until he's dizzy or just slomo and zoom-uppercut him? Zoom uppercuts seem to do more damage per phase, at least on easy where your VFX energy is abundant. I've found dodging to take way too much effort and the period after that is pretty short.

(a couple of you have PMs)
KDR: I gave up on the Zoom-Uppercut a long time ago since it didn't inflict the damage I needed. It seemed to get a lot of V-points, but it didn't break anything quickly, especially in the early Hulk Davidson fight where I wanted to break his axe ASAP.
When Fire Leo is dizzy, I aim to inflict a lot of damage in a very short amount of time. I start by jumping, and while landing I Slow+Zoom to initiate the Foot Stomp. I maintain Slow+Zoom, and I hold punch to perform the Red Hot One Hundred (RHOH) punch combo while the pink shockwaves from the Stomp are still moving. I can land 2-3 [very strong] RHOH punches before the shockwaves disappear; at this point I've used up most of Fire Leo's "combo time limit" (as you're aware, you can only do so much damage/hits before the game breaks your sequence). Instead of maintaining the Slow RHOH, I immediately change it into a Mach-Speed RHOH for the remainder of the combo, because it really will do more damage.
Slow does slightly expand the game's clock, and Mach-Speed slightly compresses the clock. The Slow RHOH does do more damage per hit than a Mach-Speed RHOH. But with so little time left for the combo, Slow RHOH's punches take too long to execute, and because the hitting rate drops dramatically once the Stomp's shockwaves are gone, Fire Leo is given more "recovery time" between each Slow RHOH punch to wake up from the combo, so the overall combo will end before you land enough hits. Therefore, I switch to Mach-Speed RHOH to maximize damage vs. combo duration. When the combo's finally broken, or I end it early to avoid any mis-hits, I deactivate Zoom.

If he has no axe, he can't block, so there's more opportunities to kick his ass quickly.
I can get triple-V's on Batty, Another Joe, and Fire Leo on Adult, but not on Hulk or Sharky; those two fights have elements that really slow down my fight time.
