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.

Alan Wake’s The Signal and The Writer DLC
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 …
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
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 …
Alice: Madness Returns
Status: Finished Alice: Madness Returns on Normal (but man…) Achievements: 31 of 50 Gamerscore: 415/1000 DLC Purchased: Original American McGee’s Alice (Online Pass Content) I love the dark and macabre, things that make me jump out of my seat or emit a small scream.

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.

Dragon Age 2
Status: Finished Dragon Age 2 once as a female Rogue Achievements: 38 of 55 Gamerscore: 665/1130 DLC Purchased: Dragon Age Legends (Facebook app) bonus items Not really a sequel to Dragon Age: Origins with some of that TV spin-off feel, Dragon Age 2 boasts a more polished feel both in game play and graphics, but falls short in the …
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
Status: 1 playthrough complete, no multiplayer Achievements: 35 of 60 Gamerscore: 690/1250 DLC Purchased: None There are few games that cause me to scream obscenities at my television on a regular basis that I still find enjoyable and push through to complete. The Assassin’s Creed franchise currently ranks number one in that category, with Brotherhood feeling more like an …
Puzzle Expedition DS
Status: Getting by with a little help from the internet Puzzle solving is great for your brain, so says Dr. Kawashima, the genius behind all the Brain Age games. And if the doctor tells you to play more puzzle solving games, then you should listen to what he is telling you. While this might not be …
