Left Behind

I try to finish, at least, the main campaign of every game I purchase, but sometimes... Ergh. Lately, off the top of my head, I've stalled on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (too much superfluous crap!), Enslaved (great story and platforming; too bad the combat's a bit of a slog), Crysis 3 (stunning graphics; questionable stealth), Super Princess Peach (she relies on her emotions and goes shopping? Really?), and The Swapper (those puzzles get difficult toward the end!)... And then I started The Last of Us: Left Behind, and immediately remembered how awesome stuff can be; it's been too few and far between playing games that have me constantly coming back for more.

Such Nintendo

Wrapped-up Ghost Trick; it's awesome, so play it.

Got my Wii U, Mario Kart 8, New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, and ZombiU. The system's setup wizard was annoying because it wouldn't let me see the unit's MAC address, so I chose to set-up WiFi later, then it asked me to add my existing account, but needed to connect to the Internet to do so, so I disabled my MAC filter, but it wouldn't let me go back to the WiFi settings, and then wanted to do a system update, and I can't remember the exact details now... I'm tired... The point is, I had to create a dummy account just to get started, only to delete it later; not the end of the world, but kind of annoying. Regardless, the system is friggin' sweet.

Also picked-up Mario Kart 7 and burned through it pretty quickly. Fun.
