I haven't played much Radiant Dawn, but I did play the Gamecube FE game. That game was gorgeous, so if Radiant Dawn is in the same league it still looks pretty damn good.

The art is gorgeous, especially the 3D/cel shady cutscenes. But it's all very low-res. And while the battles are full widescreen, the dialogue sequences are gimped phony widescreen.
A full HD Fire Emblem will be a thing of beauty.
You silly kids and your HD teevees.
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage: 3DS (Yes, I had to type the full title)
As others have said, fun, but too easy. Should have been a $15 download title instead of a full priced retail release. When you beat it you unlock hard mode, but it's still easy since you start it with maxed out levels, and only makes the bosses take a few more hits to kill. I would have enjoyed it more if you could do hard mode without max levels, then it might provide some challenge. Also, LOL at The true final boss being Lumpy Space Princess.

42.) Persona 4 Golden (Vita)
The third variants of everyone's Personas + Rise's insane buffs + Lucifer with no weaknesses=destroyed last boss. Yukiko's fire magic was doing 1k+ per attack for part of the fight. Ending was great, and the epilogue was a welcome surprise (Kanji...lol). This is how you do a remake. The Vita's had a pretty dismal time of it so far, but this and Gravity Rush are without question my games of the year.
Time to start a new game+ and get the trophies I missed.
#30.
Beat it twice in a row, as it just loops. I was hoping that the NES port would have added an ending, since it has those hidden POW rescue locations, but it doesn't. Nothing else to do with this one now.
30) CoD: Black Ops II (PC)
341,740 pts. on Hardened
Offed Menendez in final mission, got ending with Mason meeting his father, the Cordis Die Youtube video being shown, and Menendez's followers rioting. Completed Strike Force missions I.E.D. and 2nd Chance (Karma's rescue if DeFalco successfully kidnaps her).
Length is about par for a CoD title at about 9-10 hrs. BOII's having multiple endings and forcing the player to make decisions at some points does make me want to replay it sometime. The futuristic theme used in most missions helps it, also. Quite welcome, considering that the Modern Warfare theme is getting about as BTDT as WWII.
One of the fun things in Strike Force is switching characters at will- the ASDs, Claws, and Quad-Rotors are a blast to use. Even a captured ally can be taken control of right away after rescue.
The Storm PSR has something that makes it one of my favorite weapons. It's a sniper rifle but it makes a great railgun when you use the charge shot. OK, some smug bastard is hiding under cover... POW. Now he's gone before he knows what the hell hit him.
I highly doubt that IW's CoD10 will be even half this good. IMO, this franchise belongs to Treyarch now.
Megaman Zero - These games are pretty awesome though the first one particularly is really dumb about some stuff. I want to restart the mission from the very beginning, not load a saved, not use a retry, I just want to get a better ranking without having to waste an extra 30 seconds everytime. Leveling up Weapons is cool! Leveling up Cyber Elfs so you can eat them by using energy which is so ridiculously sparse meaning you'd have to grind to get any of the things like extra health, and then suffer a penalty for the entire rest of the game if you want the extra health, is so stupid. Don't even want them in the game at that point. I finished only with an A ranking which apparently doesn't even mean anything in the first one? I thought there had been different endings or something but boy was I wrong. So I wasted a lot of time restarting missions for a ranking system that meant jack shit. Lovely. But I liked a lot of the gameplay for what that's worth. Looking forward to the second one a whole lot more.
