But just found out, I have to do, as well as the Theives guild, the Dark Brotherhood quests as well. Man, this game goes on forever :|
took me about 80 hours to do almost everything in Oblivion, and im sure there were some obscure dungeons i never got to. You actually dont have to beat the Guild quests to beat the main game, you can just do the main quest with the Oblivion Gates

My tag is NecroNomicoN1, but ill have to clear out some space because it wont let me add any more friends :( . We play Gears 2-3 nights a week, you're welcome to join us anytime

HEADS UP:

There is one part in the Thieves guild quest with a special arrow near the end of it. You only got one chance with the arrow and if you miss, you completely pooch the achievement. Make sure to save before you do it and bring some normal arrows to practice with as well.

I just finished Oblivion for the Xbox 360 and I finished Fable: The Lost Chapters again (on the Xbox 360) and Legacy of Kain: Defiance again
(on the Xbox 1 my 360 lacks the software to play it and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance :( oh well)

Barely any time lately, but I've been juggling Castlevania Curse of Darkness on the PS2, Castlevania Portrait of Ruin on the DS, and Rainbow Six Vegas on the 360.

Finished Metroid Prime Corruption a couple of hours ago. The only complaint I have is the same I had with Twighlight Princess...the game should be longer.

Playing Super Paper Mario and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. DJ, you thought Twilight Princess was too short? How long did it take you? Maybe it's because I don't have enough periods to sit in front of it for long enough to get anything done.

How long did it take you? Did you get the bonus ending for getting all 100 pickups?

Im playing on veteran and with 100 pickups its taken about 16 hours. I think Im at the last stage, Phaaze, hoping to wrap this up tonight before Halo 3 :!:

Not really, but the game still has remnants of the last two ie powers, bad guys, goals, etc.. (it's a sequel after all).The game play is smooth and the speaking cinematic scenes were really well done and add a greater depth to the game. This is by far the most superior of the three Metroid Prime games.

Since this one is the end of this current saga I look for the next one to take a new approach. Since they have to basically start over I don't look for another one until the launch of another console. (hope I'm wrong though).
IGN review----9.5 and rightfully so.

This isn't so much about what game I am playing as it is about what I am going to do with my old X-Box that is collecting dust due to a faulty disc-drive. I found this the other day and just thought I would share with anyone else out there that might be interested. Seems easy enough and once I get around to doing it I will let you know how it worked out.

Beat XIII (absolutely fantastic game). I'm on Mega Man 7 on the Mega Man Collection (I've enjoyed them all so far).

I just got Fable over the weekend. Wow. This is such a great, deep game. It's so much fun playing around with people's reactions in the game. I'm playing it obsessively until I finally get a village girl to marry me..well, and bulk up my hero (he's inhumanly skinny, I don't think I'm feeding him enough)...and get all the towns people to respect me too and... :)

I agree XIII was awesome. I had my doubts when I first started playing it, but once I got used to the controls and the comic book style animation it was a very fun game to play. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes shooter adventure type games. Sad thing is I read somewhere that no plans are being made for a sequel.
