    You may remember this as the game that came out as it was announced by Sony during its keynote at E3 earlier this year, and I finally picked it up this past week, incentivised by the fact that it’s currently on sale. I didn’t really know what to expect, other than I dug the aesthetics…

  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

    Oh, I never posted about getting Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U? Don’t be silly, of course I got it. Of course I’ve been having a blast playing with friends over. Of course the graphics are astoundingly beautiful and colorful. Of course there are more modes than you can shake a stick at. Of…

  • Bayonetta

    The other game I got myself on Christmas day was actually two games, in the form of Bayonetta 1 and 2. Since I’d never fully completed the first one (back on the PS3), I decided to start by playing that, and oh boy am I getting a kick out of playing her with the Link…

  • EarthBound

    I got this on Christmas day through the Virtual Console, and I felt like a kid, holding up my Wii U controller and entering this Super Nintendo-powered world. Smaaash! I kinda feel like I should be wearing my Mother t-shirt when I’m playing this.

  • Blood & Laurels

    Another one of those games from earlier this year that I somehow didn’t post about here, but that I highly enjoyed. You like text adventures? Well, then you’ll want to get this. The interface is great – all touch, selecting from choices – and more importantly, it’s very well written. I hope we get more…

  • Run Sackboy! Run!

    An iOS runner using the LittleBigPlanet aesthetics, and it’s free? Yup, definitely worth a download, and although you probably won’t be playing it for that long – just the nature of the runner now, considering how many of them we’ve played over the years – but it’s well worth a play if you dig on…

  • Bit.Trip Run!

    This is another game that I’ve had for a while, but don’t think I included it here. It’s the iOS version of Runner 2, a game that I really loved playing on the PS3. It of course translates perfectly on the iPad, and so if you’ve never experienced it, this is a great way to…

  • 80 Days

    I got this game when it originally came out, which was quite a while ago, but noticed that I didn’t include it here and so wanted to rectify that. It’s an awesome game – in fact it’s one of my favorite games of the year – and if you don’t already have it you should…
