Playtime: 21 hours and counting Men Romanced: Urabe Otome games get the short end of the stick. It’s a format under-appreciated by the majority of gamers outside of Japan because they are more of an interactive choose your own adventure than a game in the traditional sense. But I like weird and non-traditional games so Sweet Fuse: …

Tales of Xillia
Status: Milla storyline complete, grinding in the post-game dungeon before starting NG+ with Jude Playtime: 63 hours and counting Trophies: 15 of 44 Here there be spoilers. Enter at own risk. My addiction to JRPGs has long been documented. Hell, WRPGs and JRPGS alike cause me to drop everything else and devote hours of my time they are …
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Status: Catching cicadas and fishing, making the bells to pay back Nook’s ridiculous loans Dream Address: 4500-2245-0852 I caved to peer pressure. I bought Animal Crossing New Leaf almost a month ago and I am sad to report that I am utterly addicted to this game. When I am not sleeping, playing Borderlands 2 or watching TV …
How the PS4 Won Our Pre-Order
I want to preface this by stating for those who do not know me very well that I am not a fangirl of any Big Three console makers. It’s always been that I get the systems that have the games I want to play. Last time around I got the Xbox 360 before my PS3 …
Review of the Borderlands 2 Limited Edition Diamond Plate Loot Chest from ThinkGeek
Last week, ThinkGeek announced they had some Borderlands 2 Limited Edition Diamond Plate Loot Chest replicas licensed from Gearbox for sale on the site. Matt and I are pretty hardcore about Borderlands 2, the best coop fun we’ve ever had together, so spending $100 on this was a no-brainer. We sprung for 3 day shipping and it …
Project Backlog – Summer 2013 Update #1
So, I had all these great plans for June and July. I was going to power through at least 2 games a month to whittle down my backlog. Sounds good, right? Productive, too. Well…. Animal Crossing happened. I had started Professor Layton & the Miracle Mask which had been sitting on my nightstand since it …
Dazed, Confused, and Rolling on the Floor Laughing
Oh Microsoft! Sometimes I just don’t get you. You schedule a console reveal event prior to E3, which in and of itself is completely fine, but then you pretty much ignore your gaming core, focusing instead on TV and movie integration, show off your recently purchased Skype tools, and push the Kinect technology without clarifying …
My Summer 2013 Project Backlog Plan of Attack
It’s not like I’ve gone out and bought a tonne of new games, so why is it that my backlog is growing? Skyrim. Yup. That damn addictive game keeps me coming back, even though I have finished all the quests I can with my first character. And now the collector’s edition with the one bit …
Plants vs Zombies Adventures
If you can see this post, that means it is May 20th (or later) and I can finally talk about Plants vs Zombies Adventures on Facebook because the closed beta is over!! I snuck into the beta early on from one of those “the first 200 people to click a link at 6pm Pacific” posts …
How I Lost an Entire Day (Also Known As Game Dev Tycoon & Candy Box)
Addictive time suck that I just can’t get enough of! ~Annette Seriously, I am Game Dev Tycoon as I write this and had major jitters all weekend (well, mostly Sunday and Monday) as I hadn’t been able to play. I’ve just started my 4th studio (Irrational Games) and finished my first game (Medal of Honour, …
