ALMOST FORGOT
Virtue's Last Reward- clover is "Yotsuba"... The writing is just as silly-stupid as it was in 999, but here it's a lot more natural. There's more chuckling because it's actually funny, less "Haaaaaaaanghhhhhh" from fitting into pipes and being wet "down there"
I'm loving Fallout: NV modded for higher difficulty and not using the speech skill. It makes every choice matter, and gives more incentive to explore. I never did Vault 22 the first time so it's like a new mini survival horror game.

I'm currently playing Tales of Xillia. This is the first JRPG I've attempted to play in years. I'm about 7 hours in so far, and I'm really enjoying the characters and the battle system. I just hope that this one can hold my interest for its duration.
Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light (DS) - I'm playing this as well, it is lovely as Finch says and I'm enjoying it a great deal so far. I like the AP/Boost battle system and being able to freely experiment with available job crowns. Currently in Urbeth with Jusqua and Yunita, looking to raise enough funds for the Sorcerer to remove a curse.
Picross e3 (3DS) - Mega Picross is an awesome addition, I want more of it.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PSV) - Just reached Chapter 28, and I'm really liking this game. Much more than I thought I would, it's pretty neat, and of course a technical marvel as a handheld title that continually amazes me. I hope Sony Bend Studio is working on another Vita game of this caliber.
Far Cry 3 (360) - Ubisoft Formula 2012 is fun, found some bears and captured two outposts last night.
Marvel Puzzle Quest (iOS) - Fun game, haven't touched the PvP stuff. Black Widow's stun move is the business.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) - I'm annoyingly late to this party. As I recall, this was just about to come out when my daughter broke my original 3DS. I finished the first mansion this morning and am predictably really enjoying it. The original is still one of my favorite GameCube games, and this one seems better in every way.
Mass Effect 3 (Wii U) - This is more of a "what are you planning to play," because actually starting it up would involve my daughter not playing Skylanders. On the up side, while she's playing that, I always have access to her Luigi's Mansion cart.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PC) - The production values on this one are out of sight. As a general rule, I greatly prefer shooters to melee games, but I think I can get past that once again for Platinum's efforts in the genre.
If you played ME 2, id suggest continuing 3 on that platform.
Its awfully obnoxious watching your peeps die and there is nothing you can do.
Now that I am done with TLOU, GTA V is my next console game.
Rust: I don't think I'd play this if it weren't for a bunch of friends building and fortifying our base nightly. It's not bad, it's just obviously not finished.
Shining Force II: My only experience with this when it came out was hanging at my friend's house playing this on the SEGA Channel. That being said, you don't get far in an SRPG when you only get to play it a half hour at a time because the person you're hanging out with is ready to play something else.
Super Mario 3D Land - held off on this for a long time, finally getting into it.
The Tanooki Suit removes all difficulty from the proceedings, whole thing feels like a cross between New Super Mario Bros and Mario 64.
I think it's actually pretty good! There are a lot of really creative bits going on (the ghost houses, the 3D puzzle stages, the sawblade platforms); it is babby-easy, but the sheer, relentless POLISH on everything puts it over.
Out of this and Super Mario World, this may be the better Easy Mario Game. I still have no desire to play Galaxy, so YMMV on that.
Chili Robot Demo - that French guy sure talks a lot! So many tutorial breaks! Does the talking ever stop?
