Where was I...

Dragon's Crown just gets better and better... Some of the earlier dungeons can be a little tricky, but once you start taking-on sidequests and really filling-out your party, it all comes together nicely and you get to be a very well-drawn (and well-animated) badass.

Persona 4 Golden was awesome. Play it. Stick with it. It's like nothing else.

Borderlands 2 gets really good, and then about halfway through it gets absolutely overwhelming; if you're a neurotic completionist (I'm not, thank goodness), this game will ruin you.

Electronic Super Joy is a lot of fun; some really clever level design in there. Mercenary Kings has one of the worst control schemes I've ever experienced. The Swapper is downright gorgeous, though it does get a little obtuse toward the end. I still love Hotline Miami a lot. Oh, and Don't Starve is pretty cool.

Kid Icarus: Uprising has lost me for the time being, so I tried The World Ends With You, but its battle system really turned me off; too chaotic. Now I'm on to either Project X Zone or Shin Megami Tensei IV. Attack Of The Friday Monsters was incredibly good, by the way.

And I finally found an english-language (EU) SNK copy of SNK vs. Capcom: Cardfighters' Clash! I only had the NA Capcom version, and had only found Japanese SNK versions until the other day.

On top of everything else, I've been playing a lot of Tetris DS and EA's Tetris for Android... Like, a whole lot.

I love vanilla everything...

Dragon's Crown and Muramasa on Vita look incredible. Almost done Persona 4 Golden. Kid Icarus: Uprising is really pretty, but it's just not the best thing ever, y'know? Borderlands won me over by the end, but the PC port crashed on me so many times in Old Haven and The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned that I just gave-up and moved on to the sequel... Whose more complete characterisations have served to shed a harsher light on the franchise's crass humour; I'm talking Duke Nukem Forever territory, here. *sigh* Dead Space 2 is still pretty awesome though, and Gears Of War: Judgement is, well, Gears Of War but less interesting so far.
