1. But just like Punch Out, there are patterns and advantages that you have against the CPU.

For instance, when fighting Shao Khan... use Lui Kang... shoot low fireballs and he'll almost ALWAYS do a flying uppercut, then just wait for him to fall and upper cut him.

Easy as pie, you can get flawless wins on the last guy just by taking advantage of the CPU consistencies...

4. Richard's comment about the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3's "Cheap AI" really hits the nail on the head. I could not have phrased that better myself. However, I think SF2 is far more guilty of that to that point of utter disgust. Why should I pay TWICE the usual price of 400 points for UMK3? Doesn't that send a message to publishers that you are willing to take more price hikes on the already overpriced XBLA games?

5. I'm playing Lumines.. Eventhough I feel a bit jaded about the pricing of the game, I still can't stop thinking about the game when not playing it, and just want to play it as much as possible.. Such a fun game that's been marred by pricing..

7. Dead Rising. I've had it for a while in my stack but only just started playing last night. What the fuck was I thinking letting this moulder?

8. Jake Good,

Yeah, I know you can take advantage of it. I just hate the sloppy programming. I want to be able to win with Sub-Zero. In both boss fights, his Ice Clone is removed from play. It's pretty bad that the programmers actually nullify a special move during a boss fight.

Imagine playing against M. Bison in SFII and everytime you land a dragon punch, nothing happens.

I'll get him eventually >:O

11. I'm playing Phantasy Star Universe, Splinter Cell: Double Agent and UMK3.

Richard: Khan really isn't that difficult to master. Against him the uppercut is your best friend, I usually start the round ducking and blocking. Wait for him to do his flying knee thing, uppercut him, then run and uppercut him again as he's getting up. You can usually do 2 or 3 in succession this way, just keep at it and you'll beat him sooner rather than later. For Motaro you can usualyl spam jump kicks at him and win in three rounds.

15. I have been playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It is absolutely fantastic. Better than Legends 2, the graphics are great, the only complaint I have is the character balance. It's not really very accurate. Spiderman is very weak, while Deadpool is nearly invincible. Silver surfer should be more powerful than wolverine, but he's not. I havent had a chance to level these characters up, maybe it will even out as the game progresses. Other than that minor complaint the game is nearly flawless. I highly highly reccomend this if you have heard of comic books.

16. I'll be playing Double Agent, and maybe some Lumines. I still haven't got any achievements in that game. I must suck.

17. Ultimate Alliance. I've only been able to play about 15 minutes of it so far, but it's awesome.

18. Splinter Cell

Enchanted Amrs (just to hurry and beat it so I can trade it in for Marvel Alliance)

Rainbow 6 Vegas Demo (again and again and again)

19. I've also been playing lots of Arcade Titles this week. I played quite a bit of DOOM earlier on in the week and lots of Lumines Live! I think that even though the pricing isn't good at all it is a great title. It would be nice if I could get into an Live battle game...it appears that no one is online...oh well. I won't be picking up any other games until GOW i think.

20. I've got a night off, so I'll hit up Lumines and probably some Ninety-Nine Nights which has been sitting around for a bit gathering dust.

Just added Ultimate Alliance to my game Q as it looks like a lot of fun...
