About Me: Token Australian

My gaming habits are all over the place. Also on a Zelda kick.

The Longest Journey

Progress is slowing down. I'm enjoying the story, but I find myself with other things I want to do. I've hacked the archives, given the kid what he wants, gone to see a guy in a hoverchair and after a LOT of dialogue, I was just too weary to go on. I think I'd have preferred this game as a TV series or a book (though graphic novel might have been a better fit). It's really just a visual novel with some puzzles thrown in. It doesn't want to be too challenging, because it doesn't want people to give up and not experience the story.

My 360 gets neglected this week, and the Wii becomes my most used console for the first time since Smash Bros. Brawl was released.

Mario Kart Wii

About half way through Mirror GP, but it's more frustrating than fun at this point. Will probably be shelving this one for a while.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Since writing reviews is hard, I'm going to make commentary on games I've played.

I did this a few years ago and it was pretty good. I just need to list each game I played this year and make a comment on it. Maybe it'll inspire me to write more.

XBOX 360

Batman: Arkham Asylum

I played this right to the end the year it came out. Can't remember when that was. But I couldn't beat the final boss. Not sure why. After completing Arkham City, I went back and managed to defeat the final boss quite easily. Still not sure why.

Didn't take that long. It was on sale today for $199 AUD (the price dropped to $249 officially) and since I said I'd buy it if it dropped under 200... I did. The AR card thing is trippy. Ocarina of Time looks amazing.

I wanted the free soundtrack. Also I figure I'll get a 3DS after the price drop (got a nice big tax refund coming up, so I'll treat myself).

Plus Zelda was $20 cheaper than usual. Didn't want to pass up a good deal.

Anyone else ever buy a game for a console they don't have yet? I remember getting the Oblivion Collectors Edition about a year before I bought a 360. That was a bit silly...

Maybe it is time to grow up, but I probably won't stop playing. Across the three consoles and two handhelds and my fairly decent laptop, I have access to more games than I'll ever get around to playing.

And maybe that's good. I still have a pile of games I've barely even touched. So maybe if new games stop being available to me I can finally catch up. That would be nice.

I'm not sold on the Wii's follow up, and Microsoft's obsession with Kinect is getting pretty tiring. I don't have the space for it to work properly, anyway.
