Lego Marvel (360) - Good but bug-ridden (not sure if its as bad on other platforms) and so far there seem to be a few characters missing who should be there but they might turn up later as more bods get unlocked

Actually, the +4 was quite a good machine.

It's been all about Super Mario 3D World on the WiiU here. But when not playing that, been working my way through Etrian Odyssey IV and Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies on the 3DS.

1946 and Skyrim, I have an Oblivion game I might go back to, and a Metal Gear on the Vita that I've barely begun but don't expect to return to. Two games for the price of one? that'll teach me.

How is this? Has it made the jump to 3DS well? I adored the first 3 on the original DS. One of my favourite game series.

It came out last summer on the 3DS.

Fantastic. Is there any new input from Braybrook in the article?

EOIV is really, really good (I too loved the first one.. didn't play 2, only briefly played GF's copy of 3)..

I didn't like the sailing overworld bits in 3 much.. the airship overworld in 4 is a lot more fun (no annoying super tight turn limit)..

I haven't gotten too far yet, determined to finish Soul Hackers first.. I didn't think I'd like the 3D models of 4 as much as the hand drawn monster art of 1, but they're beautifully done.

It's.. Etrian..but a bit shinier. You'll love it Gorecki =)
(I look forward to one day playing that new Untold one, the remake of 1!)

I'd never played any previous EOs - it wasn't until I played the demo on the eShop that I felt compelled to get it. Activity log says I've put ~74 hours into it so far, so yeah, I'd say it was alright. :D

(Looks like Untold is out at the start of May - better clear a space in my diary)

I just finished Metal Gear Rising Revengence on the PC and the $30 asking price was well worth it IMHO. Great fun, campy dialog, quick and fast action.

Now I'm playing the next thing I bought from the 2013 steam Christmas sale and that is Skyrim. I'm also having a lot of fun also. It's like a hybrid of Dungeon Master and Fallout. Annoying as hell in a few parts, but so was Dungeon Master and Fallout.

I'm at the final stretch of Link to the Past and Mario 3D World. Started AC IV, but got bored quite quickly for the lack of any sort of difficulty and challenge. Next will be to finish Luigi's Mansion 2 and Muramasa...

999 on the DS.
And thats it really. Stack-loads of other things I haven't had time for one way or the other.

Runescape on PC a bit. That games somewhat weird in that you have pretty nicely done music/voiceacting/artwork in some areas/quest, and buggy old poorly designed things in others. It really shows its development history - like a Frankenstein monster of a MMO.

Red Dead Redemption (360) - yes, late to the party but I got the Game of the Year edition as a birthday present. Loving it so far, it looks so beautiful as the weather or time of day changes.
