This Month's Haul - February, 2012

Mass Effect (360)
Mass Effect 2 (360)

I babbled about this at length on last night's podcast, but here are the deets:

I tried to play ME back in 2007 but abandoned it 3 hours in. At that time I just didn't like Citadel Station and couldn't get a handle on the combat. I restarted as a Femshep Vanguard, and I'm enjoying the gameplay a lot more. Still clunky, and the poorly thought-out RPG elements are still irritating, but I'm having fun. Mostly I want to rush through it so I can get into the good stuff in ME2, and hopefully ME3.

Nano Assault (3DS):

I've been hunting for this one a while. It's one of those oddball 3DS releases that got a very small print run, like Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove (which I still haven't managed to track down). Great looking title with an excellent frame rate, but haven't played enough of the gameplay to judge it fairly.

I just got done with a ME1 session, since I want to go through all the games before ME3. It's a terrible game, but still compelling. There really are very very very few games that I can say that about.

Picked up Arcania PC for $5 from Target.

Way to go, Yoshi! I'm proud of you.

For spending top dollar on sub-iOS technology and being conducive to the watering-down of gaming? I'm not.

I don't know what you're describing, but Shinobi on 3DS is the opposite of everything you just said.

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one now. I'll give it a try for that price.

Attachment 64716Attachment 64717 since my buddy told me I could borrow his MGSHDC sometime, and I've been itching to play this game.

That movie looked horrible from previews
