At World 4 in New Super Mario Bros U. I'm really enjoying this game so far. Is it just me or is this game really challenging? New Super Mario Bros 2 was a cakewalk when compared to this. I'm glad I'm getting way more for my money's worth.

 

I also got to the Tower of the Gods in WindWaker HD. One random thing I really like about WW HD is that unlike the GameCube version, Gyorgs and Peahats don't knock you off your boat when they hit you! :D

I've been replaying Pikmin 2 lately and now I am in the Dream Den on Day 23 and have collected absolutely all treasures except what is in there.

 

I also downloaded Cut the Rope from the 3DS EShop and I'm really enjoying it. I'm currently up to box #7 and I have most certainly got my money's worth from the $4.50 I paid for it.

For those who don't know, Cut the Rope is a little indie game where you have to feed a monster in a box called Om candy by cutting ropes so it lands in his mouth. There are twelve different levels with (what I expect) 25 stages each; giving you a grand total of 300 different stages to feed Om his candy, with each level introducing a new gimmick to keep you on your toes.

Started playing FE11(Shadow Dragon) today, I never beat it, but from what I've played of it, it's my least favorite game in the series.

I finally beat Tales of Xillia. Overall, this game is definitely an improvement over Graces f released in March of 2012. I love the vast open world despite some areas being repetitive and the combat is very nice. The battle system (LIMBS) is a hybrid between Vesperia and Graces f's battle systems and it works very well for the most part. One major gripe is that in Boss battles, you can't pull off mad combos like in Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia and Graces which makes a few Boss battles a bit frustrating. Supposedly they fixed this in its sequel Tales of Xillia 2. The voice acting is top notch. This stands as one of the best English voice casts in Tales games IMO, and the presentation is nice though I hated how in some areas objects suddenly appear as you walk towards it. All in all, another worthy game in the Tales series even though the director of this game admitted that this game was rushed due to trying to beat the deadline for the anniversary of the Tales series. Let's hope Xillia 2 is much better than this.

 

Overall Score: 4/5

 

If Ventus only had a PS3

Finished Persona 4 Golden finally. Fantastic, one of my favorite gaming experiences in the last decade, easily. I'm going to start working on Wind Waker HD this week and Pokemon X/Y this weekend, so at least I won't be bored this month. Also, been playing Terraria 1.2 and so far I really like the added content. Been a lot of fun re-experiencing it.

My computer was not working for quite a while, so I borrowed my sister's PSP and spent that time playing Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I got up to Shade Impulse - Chapter 2 before having to stop due to the repetitiveness. Don't get me wrong, it's a really fun game, but you can only fight the same characters for so long. Although I prefer the normal control scheme, I loved the idea behind the Command-Style controls. I kind of wish a full RPG could be designed around those, with the viewpoint either zoomed out to show all the characters in your party at once in the fight, or switching between characters whenever they're attacking/getting hit.

 

My sister got irritated that I had kept her PSP for so long, so she took it back the other day. It's a bit odd to me that she never uses it for anything, but is always reluctant to let me borrow it when I want to play a game on it. I also transferred my Guardian's Crusade save files from my computer's emulator to the copy on her PSP so that I could play it on that (I prefer the appearance on the PSP screen, and the game only needs a single set of L/R buttons) without having to start completely over, but since the game relies on finding your "magic spells" (you find summons called "Living Toys" and summon them to perform a spell) and they're often hidden in the most arbitrary of places, I decided to wait until my computer got put back together before continuing that game, so that I could look up if I miss anything as I play.

 

I also decided to re-start Jak and Daxter from the beginning, this time with a walkthrough to try and get a 100% run. I've gotten everything up to Fire Canyon completed 100%, although Misty Island was a huge pain to find the last Precursor Orbs. A quick question for anybody else who has this game. Do you need all of the Precursor Orbs in order to get all of the Power Cells? I checked GameFAQs, but it didn't say.

Ended up playing WAY more Wind Waker HD than I thought I would. I managed to beat Dragon Roost Cavern and the Forbidden Woods in one go and had a lot of fun! This is the first time I've played the game so everything is shiny and new and I've enjoyed almost everything. The only irritation is that I feel a bit railroaded into getting the pearls. If I stray too far off course to go exploring I'm forced back on the path by the boat, which is a bit irritating. Hopefully it's not too long before the game world opens up.

No. In fact, you only need... 1530 of the 2000, if I did my math right. Why do I know this...

 

If you're going for 100%, I should probably warn you about a little bug. It's possible to make the Dead Man's Canyon race impossible to beat, if you talk to the Gambler, go play it once, then come back and talk to the Gambler again. There's actually 101 power cells in the game, so you can still see the secret ending without that one (I think that bug is actually why they added an extra power cell actually), but it's still annoying if you're trying to truly get 100% (which actually shows up as 103% on the subscreen, I believe, or it might be 102%).

 

Good luck with Spider Caves, by the way. Some of the orbs are hidden away pretty well there. Most of the areas, it's not actually too hard. Lava Tube is disappointingly easy; only 50 orbs, and they're all in the first segment of the tube before the machine. I think Sentinel Beach actually gave me the most trouble though; there's five orbs hidden behind a waterfall that took me way too long to find. >_>
