Status: Finished Persona 4 once on Normal (107h 40m) with the Good Ending, started New Game+ on Expert The Persona franchise is one of my absolute favourites. It combines so many things that I love into one giant ball of twistedness, and I always go back in for seconds or thirds. Persona 4 is no exception …
This September another video game trilogy comes to a conclusion. The Gears of War saga has a dear place in my heart as one of the games that helped me get through the long-distance leg of my relationship with my husband. These were games we played together for the cooperative experience, something to do as …
Status: Finished both The Signal & The Writer DLC Achievements: 41 of 67 Gamerscore: 740/1500 Months after finishing Alan Wake’s original content and downloading both DLC add-ons, I still hadn’t gotten around to actually playing the new episodes. I’d see the box for the game sitting on the top of my 360 shelving unit and think “Maybe this …
Status: Can you really ever finish Torchlight? Achievements: 12 of 12 Gamerscore: 200/200 DLC Purchased: None The Xbox Deal of the Week is always hit or miss for me. Too often it’s just a bunch of maps for shooter games that don’t interest me. That changed a couple of weeks back when I noticed that Torchlight was on sale …
Status: Finished everything in Oblivion but the Mages’ Guild quests Achievements: 54 of 60 Gamerscore: 1150/1250 DLC Purchased: Every last bit of DLC, including that ridiculous Horse Armor (only because it was on the GOTY disc) Somehow I find it very fitting that the first game from Project Backlog that I am crossing off the list is actually the …

Horror movies and games filled with puzzles are right up there in my books and …
With the video game industry’s shift towards digital distribution, it sometimes feels as though the quality of released product is sacrificed in order to sell higher volumes in a smaller time frame. This reliance on releasing patches and updates to fix bugs that slip through hardworking Quality Assurance department fingers has always had it’s benefits, …
Status: Starting 3rd movie Coop, playing 2nd movie single player Achievements: 15 of 40 Gamerscore: 252/1000 DLC Purchased: None There is just something so perfectly nostalgic about LEGO. You never really grow out of playing with them, building castles, ships, or giant dinosaurs. When LEGO first gave us LEGO Star Wars, I wonder if they thought it would become …
Status: Maxing out the Archer Uberhero skill tree, have unlocked other skill trees It was beginning to feel as though it would be months before I would have a review of sorts for Patapon 3 together, what with the whole PSN debacle. With no Playstation gaming service and no one around to play ad hoc with, …
Last year, I was bitter when Gears of War 3 was pushed back by Microsoft in what appears to be an effort to bolster their Holiday 2011 calendar. Not just mildly upset, but really very mad about the whole thing. I was angry the game had been moved for fiscal reasons, but after spending the …
