Yeah, Scott Pilgrim is legit one of my favorite games from this generation. That Anamanaguchi soundtrack is like tasty bacon for my auditory nerves.

another good PSN game, but one that is quite pricey, is the 92 arcade X-Men game, loved that game at an arcade once, so I was happy to pay for it, and plus, it has Nightcrawler, I wish they'd add DLC, I'd love to play as Gambit!

Oh yeah I love the Scott Pilgrim game!! Scott Pilgrim, Castle Crashers, and Guardian Heroes are some awesomely great downloadable Beat-Em-Ups.. Im actually a long time member of the Newgrounds community, and I always get together with the Castle Crashers team, Behemoth, for Comic-Con.. Newgrounds founder and Behemoth member, Tom Fulp, is a guy thats really down to Earth and fun..

Once you finish the challenges, the games are there to play to the fullest, and they are all tributes to the classics.. Rally King is a top down racer that kind of feels like RC Pro-AM or the Off-Road series, except there is a drifting mechanic.. Then there's my personal fav, a full RPG, Guardia Quest, think Dragon Warrior when it comes to playing this one.. And then you receive this monthly gaming magazine throughout the game, and it gives you actual stories, tips, and cheat codes like the old school gaming magazines.. But don't take my word for it, take a look at their website and see the games itself, I guarantee you these are retro-done-right..

I ended up finding this on Amazon for a little less than $12, so I scooped a copy. Should have it by Wednesday. I dig the concept, and you're always good with your recommendations, so I'm really looking forward to it.

In other handheld gaming chatter (and I originally posted this by accident in an unrelated thread): Only two more weeks until I can get my mitts on a 3DS XL and New Super Mario 2. Can't wait to bask in the glow of that swank new screen. Plus, Mario. I don't care how uninspired the New series is; it's still always dependable for solid bread 'n butter platforming.

Anybody played the game Slender? I suggest doing so, turning out the lights, turning the volume up and playing alone.

Finally being able to play PSP games seems to be the saving grace of the Vita thus far. I'd take the time to lament what a pitiful library of new titles the pricey system currently offers, but I'm having too damn much fun catching up on the likes of Killzone: Liberation and Liberty City Stories. The PSP Warriors port has been damn good, too.

Anybody happen to have any good PSP recommendations for me? I already have the God of War: Origins Collection for the PS3 as well as the HD Peace Walker that comes with the Metal Gear Collection, so I think I'm good on those. I'm open to pretty much anything else, though. Oh, except for rhythm games. I don't much fuck with rhythm games.

I highly recommend the Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles if you don't already have it. It consists Symphony of the Night plus the original and remade versions of Rondo of Blood.

Yeah, that was actually one of the first things I scooped. Good call, though.

Symphony of the Night was badass!! It's the only Castlevania game I've played from start to finish though. They really should go back to that 2D sidescrolling formula. But saying that, there's a couple of DS games like that isn't there.
