As usual I do a quick impressions post about all the big 3 conferences. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are showing stuff and I’m just giving my opinion.
I’ll try to do something different from my usual inconsistent ranting… I’ll list the positives and negatives or whatever, with short comments, and then my overall impressions.
Let’s Go!

Haven’t posted much in a while, partly because I haven’t been video gaming much in the last month, but today I feel like posting. Might be because of my own E3 hype, or the fact that Microsoft flubbed their Xbox reveal today, I dunno.
The competitors are lined up and the 8th gen is looking!… pretty lame. That’s not to say there’s nothing interesting down the pipeline, but I’m noticing a general lack of excitement for this new generation (not just from myself, but just looking around at the gaming community), as if new consoles weren’t just about to come out… And I think I can actually explain it.
So what I’ll do here is give my personal hype for the 8th gen consoles, and attempt to explain why there’s a general lack of enthusiasm for them in the gaming public.
And I will note that I’ll do another post for my E3 impressions, but there may be some repetition here if some of the companies fail to impress again.

Not much to say here, May has basically nothing coming out. This’ll be quick. 1 3DS release, 5 multiplats, nothing else.
Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not.
Let’s go!

This is a pretty empty month surprisingly, but there’s a couple cool releases upcoming… Oh, and kickstarter backers such as I will be getting their OUYA consoles near the beginning of the month so you can expect a post where I’ll bash the console! … Probably.
Either way… In April we’re getting: 2 3DS titles, a Vita game, a PS3 game, a 360 game and 3 multiplats. As I said, slow month.
Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not. I’m probably missing some stuff (generally the more indie stuff).

Well this has been a slow month of posting… I’ve been playing a couple RPGs so I haven’t really had time to post too much at all (gameplay time is low when you have a full-time job). Ni No Kuni and Fire Emblem reviews still possibly upcoming though, eventually I might actually play those to completion.
On that note, let’s talk about upcoming releases in March! Here we’re getting: 4 3DS games, 3 PS3 games, 2 PC games, a 360 game, 1 Wii U games, a Vita game, a Wii game, and finally 6 multiplatform games… OH and I think the Ouya is coming out for kickstarter backers in March… but who cares?

I’m posting this early, because I predict my free time may be taken by Ni No Kuni this week (if I receive it this week)… I do have a few other upcoming posts, but we’ll see if I’ll ever have time to do that.
February is giving us: 2 great 3DS games, 6 multiplat releases, 1 Wii U release and 1 Vita release. A couple of quality releases here.

Good non-Mario kart racers are rare (though I haven’t played LBPKarting yet so maybe that’s another good one), but it’s always fun to see them. This is a sequel to the 2010 Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, which was a solid racing game for sure.
So… let’s just jump in straight into the review!
Note that I played both the Wii U and Vita versions, but they’re essentially identical so take it as a review for any of the currently-released versions (as of January 13th 2013)….
Other note, I’m calling this Sonic Kart 2 from now on, hope you don’t mind.

Scribblenauts has been a pretty subpar series in my opinion. The first game had control issues and puzzles that could almost all be solved with a jetpack and rope and ended up being pretty uninteresting. I wasn’t hyped at all for Unlimited so… Well… that means I couldn’t be disappointed.
And yet, after renting it, I kinda was. Read on and see why!
Since I didn’t play the whole game (only about half), this is an impressions post rather than a review… And also a super short post.

Rayman Origins was a piece of shit. Horrible game feel, floaty controls, the characters feel like they have no weight, the attacking has no impact, the level design is boring… Oh, it’s pretty, but that’s ALL it has. It was one of the worst 2D platformers I’ve played in a long time.
So today I decided to try the Rayman Legends demo so… here’s my impressions!

I’ve been slow on my few Wii U launch reviews because… Persona 4 the Golden… But here’s the next one on my list: New Super Mario Bros U. I know I’ve been harsh with the sub-series after playing 2 this summer, and for what I believe is good reason. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy this sub-series, but it does have some problems.
So does NSMBU do enough to be different from the rest, or is it another rehash? Read on and see!
