Gaming / RE: What Games Are We Playing

UFC 2009 Undisputed - I've put in quite a few hours on this game since it game out almost a month ago. I've re-enacted all the classic fights and beat career mode with an undefeated created fighter. Recently I've been playing online a lot, trying to build up a good record. My record is something like 135-70, which isn't too bad. However, me and a couple other friends all use the same account to play online with, so it's not solely my record.
One of the big things I don't like about the game, though, is how when playing online, you can disconnect at any time and have the match become invalid. So, quite frequently when I'm winning a fight the other player will disconnect and the match becomes void. Supposedly a patch is in the works, but really they shouldn't have let an exploit like this into the finished game.
I've also been playing the old NES a lot lately.
I just beat Ninja Gaiden today for the first time. It took about 3 or 4 hours, all because of the last boss. The last boss is on stage 6-4, and for some moronic reason whenever you die on him, you go back to stage 6-1. Mind you, stages 6-2 and 6-3 are easily the hardest levels in the game and take a lot of practice to be able to beat regularly. Oh well, now that I beat it I don't have to ever play it again
Another game I've been working on is Battletoads for NES. This is the single hardest game I have ever played in my life. My goal is to beat the game all the way through without the warps, and the farthest I've got after years of trying is stage 8, the Intruder Excluder, and there are still 4 more levels to go. If I can ever beat this game, I'll have reached the pinnacle of my gaming career. Last year I spent a good part of the summer trying to beat Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for SNES and succeeded, but that game pales in comparison to the original.

However, this level is only 224 pixels high, i.e. it only scrolled side-to-side. The next level will be fun, because it scrolls up/down and side to side, and it has these cool rotating towers. I've got an idea that should make the towers look decent, but we'll see.
