I had to quit Saints Row 2 because its obvious GTA clonery was on full display and the PC version seemed...off. In all fairness, my first SR experience was IV, which I loved. I just played through 3 and I enjoyed that as well but, man, I kinda wish IV were the only one in the series.

Also, anyone having trouble accessing games due to region or model should look into spoofing the market. I haven't bothered with that in a while so I don't recall if root is needed or not but, heck, rooting one's phone is fun on its own.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Replica Island yet but I played it a few years ago and was surprised that an action game on a phone could be that fun.

I've gotta go SM on this one. No disrespect to LttP but NES Metroid might be my favorite game ever and SM was an intensely worthy sequel. Even though I had a Game Boy, I somehow missed Metroid II. There's a cool looking, full-color fan remake in the works with a working demo. It looks like they've made a few minor changes so I'll probably try to play it with a Super Game Boy first, then try the remake. Back to the NES, Metroid was enthralling. I'd never played anything like it and kinda feel like I still haven't. The music is perfect and I remember it creeping me out right when I wasn't sure how deep into the rabbit hole I'd gone. It's a shame they seem to have sullied Samus with the newer games, making her less empowered and badass. (Cue death threats from GG.) Anyway, I'm back into gaming after a long time of just playing here and there. My buddy recommended the Idle Thumbs podcast and I love it. I was delighted to join the forum and find a Metroid thread right away. SM forever!

Hi, everyone! Just recently threw myself back into gaming. Mostly using a PS3 and a PC, though I still have a few older systems that I bust out.
