<\/p>\nHey, the year is over, and so are some video games that I was playing. Though, since December is kind of a busy time, there was a lot less going on than usual. Let’s have a look-see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dark Souls<\/strong> (360) – Have you been following the weekly Dark Souls feature? You should be. They happen on Thursdays.<\/p>\n Plants Vs. Zombies 2<\/strong> (iOS) – I thought I was done with PvZ, but somehow the sequel drew me back in. Mostly because it was free. And then I saw that it was free because it was built almost entirely on microtransactions. Yuck. That’s awful, EA.<\/p>\n Pikmin 3<\/strong> (WiiU) – It’s not often that I get excited for DLC, but the new Mission Mode stages that Nintendo keeps rolling out for Pikmin 3 are pretty darn good. Also, pretty darn hard! My bro and I have been slowly plucking<\/em> away at them, but those platinum medals aren’t coming as easy as they did in the original stages.<\/p>\n AdventureTime: ETDBIDK<\/strong> (WiiU) – The last 5 floors wrecked us several times over, but we finally pushed through to the end. It was a delightful game, but I don’t think it’s quite delightful enough that I’ll be able to convince Wifey to battle through the Nightosphere with me.<\/p>\n The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D<\/strong> (3DS) – Finally got around to finishing the Master Quest run that I started many, many months ago. You could probably even measure it in years at this point. Anyway, Master Quest is such a nice addition to this game. I’ve played OoT so many times now\u00a0that I need<\/em> remixed dungeons to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n Kid Icarus Uprising<\/strong> (3DS) – As much as I like this game, I found it very hard to stay really interested in. Believe it or not, I bought it when it first came out and have only now gotten around to beating it. It makes me sad that there’s still so much game left in there that I know I’m not going to bother playing.<\/p>\n Eathbound<\/strong> (WiiU) – I’m pretty proud to say that I played through Earthbound twice<\/em> in 2013. Most RPGs I don’t play through twice at all, but this one’s probably getting close to a dozen. And I love it more every time<\/em>. I’ve never really considered the possibility before, but I think that Earthbound might very well be my Favourite Video Game.<\/p>\n Paint it Back<\/strong> (iOS) – Victory! That’s yet another picross game in the can. Did I mention that I don’t really like the touch controls? I think I’ve probably said that already. Anyway, it’s still a damn good picross game.<\/p>\n Bleed<\/strong> (360) – A cute little indie game about killing all the current video game heroes so that you’re number one. Sounds oddly familiar<\/em>. Only this one is a side-scroller mashed up with a twin-stick shooter, and I might add that it’s quite stressful, but also a lot of fun. It’s even been recently updated with a co-op mode! The really weird thing about it though, is that while you can\u00a0unlock\u00a0a pretty decent variety of guns, the default SMGs are always<\/em> the most effective weapon.<\/p>\n The Simpsons Arcade<\/strong> (iOS) – I bought this some months ago, and beat one level before forgetting about it. I decided to push through to the end before deleting it, just so that I could say I finished it. This was not the fun revival of the old arcade game that I was hoping it would be. More like a single-player slog with poor touch-controls.<\/p>\n The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds<\/strong> (3DS) – Had to play through this one again immediately, because I liked it so much. This is the first time I’ve played a Zelda game in Hero Mode and… it wasn’t really that much harder. The first few dungeons were tough due to a lack of hearts and the Blue Mail, but once I hit Lorule it was smooth sailing.<\/p>\n Picross e<\/strong> (3DS) – I’ve been itching to get\u00a0e3, but couldn’t be bothered to actually spend the money, so I just replayed the first one. It’s pretty great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, the year is over, and so are some video games that I was playing.
