Still being slow on my reviews because, again, not playing a whole lot of stuff, and at this point what I AM playing I’ve either already reviewed, or have been out for a couple months so aren’t really worth reviewing…
So JUNE! E3 time, fuck yeah! Sony will show their launch plans for the PS4 (which I really hope turns out okay), Nintendo will reveal a bunch of Wii U games and make it worth buying… Oh and Microsoft will fail to redeem themselves after their horrible reveal.
But there’s also a couple releases: 2 for 3DS, 1 PS3 exclusive, 2 Vita games (whoa!), 2 Wii U games (WHOA!!!!) and 2 multiplats.
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.

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.
… Read on!

Not much to say here, May has basically nothing coming out. This’ll be quick. 1 3DS release, 5 multiplats, nothing else.

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.

Well I said in the March releases post that I’d give my impressions on the demo for Mirror of Fate…. But after playing through it twice, I find that there really isn’t much to say. I’ll still try though!
Let’s talk about this new Castlevania game!

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.

A new year, yay! While 2012 was a bit low on amazing titles, I have some hopes for 2013 being pretty fun.
The first month of the year gives us: 3 multiplat games, 1 PS3 game, 1 3DS game, 1 PC game and 1 Vita game. Not a whole lot of stuff, but let’s see if there’s anything cool shall we?

Wow, this year kinda sucked… In a way.
Usually I do a lot of GotY posts, with one per major system/handheld and one for multiplat releases (since including multiplat releases in “best of X system” awards is retarded GameTrailers), as well as overall winners, with 3-5 winners in each category if possible (because I feel it’s ridiculous to call anything a “best” game, and I like choice). This year there just aren’t enough great games for that.
Not to say there weren’t good games, but very few that I feel were good enough to be in the running for GotY. So, due to that, I decided to go at it in a very simple manner and do one post, and maybe put a couple honorable mentions at the bottom for games I didn’t feel were GotY caliber.
So… let’s go with this year’s winners right away!
(Please note: I may not have played every game that came out in 2012, so sorry if I missed anything that you feel should win… oh, and FUCK Journey and FUCK anyone who likes that vapid non-game POS… yes, that means you Jim Sterling)

So this weekend I gave a try to a 3DS game I had mild excitement for. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is a spin-off of the sadly-horrible Epic Mickey series (Epic Mickey 2 manages to be even worse than the first), but also an offshoot of the Genesis classics Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion, which are generally fondly remembered by people who grew up with them in the 80s/90s.
I didn’t get terribly far in it (at least I hope not otherwise the game is massively short), so I’m making this an impressions post rather than an actual review.
So read on and see what I thought of this! It’s gonna be short though. Very much so.
