Well shoot, last year I said I wanted to tackle Divinity II in 2014 and that just didn't happen. In fact, the year was largely dominated by Dark Souls II (which I played through five times across the PS3 and PC versions) and Skylanders SWAP Force (8 complete playthroughs across PS3 and PS4). Other repeats included two complete runs of both ( Read more... )

Last Year: “Heck, in terms of more traditional sandbox games (you not, not like Fallout 3), the only one I played through this year was Driver: Parallel Lines (finally!). I think a goal for 2013 will be to try to tackle a few more of those and clean out the backlog a bit. We'll see ( Read more... )

There were some buggy bits in there that hindered the experience, but it was generally pretty dang enjoyable, it looked fantastic for ( Read more... )

2012 was a pretty productive year, all things considered. Work was absolutely murder in the first half of the year, which really killed my pacing up until around May. I had planned on finally playing through Grand Theft Auto IV and its expansions this year, but that didn't happen. Heck, in terms of more traditional sandbox games (you not, not like ( Read more... )
