    Finished Limbo on Xbox 360 for the first time today. I really enjoyed its quiet atmosphere and creepy aesthetics. There were some pretty clever puzzles here and there, but nothing too difficult. It was all over pretty quickly, and I didn't feel compelled to track down all of the achievements, but I did enjoy it all the same.

    I never played it before but it became a favorite now of mine. It's the best 16 bit platformer I've ever played, that's for sure. My SNES had jail bar problems too but I couldn't stop playing it. So awesome.

    Addictive little puzzle platformer. The hoverboard and auto-scrolling stages can suck it though.

    Just finished playing through Astro Trooper Vanark on PS1 for the first time, though I've had it since it was new. It's a great little rail shooter in the vein of Star Fox or Panzer Dragoon, though it's super, super short and easy. The between level Resident Evil exploration is just simple filler, and the after credit scene hints at a sequel, but the only unlockable is a stage select. It really feels like they were planning something more massive in scope, but ran out of time and/or budget. Still, it's a great little PS1 B-side.

    1. Corpse Party (PSP) 1/14
    2. Octodad: Dadliest Catch (Vita) 2/19
    3. Thomas Was Alone (Vita) 3/21

    With Thomas Was Alone, I've now beaten three releases from Limited Run Games, so phooey at those who believe LRG customers are just collectors and scalpers with no desire to actually open and play LRG's stuff. Like Octodad, this is another LRG game that's treated as a bit of a redheaded stepchild. With Octodad, I get it; the controls are intentionally difficult to work with. With Thomas Was Alone, I don't get the hate, and having beaten the game, I'm all the more convinced that the derision is purely a product of people being biased against the minimalist visual design. But the style works for the story concept, and the narrative is interesting and makes even an assortment of colored rectangles into endearing characters. It also controls well and tests both your mind and reflexes. It's fairly easy, but it throws a decent challenge at you once in a while. I wouldn't say it's a fantastic or anything, but it's definitely a solid, enjoyable game. The only thing in particular I'd complain about is that the quotes at the beginning of each set of stages disappear off the screen stupidly fast, despite that they're pretty critical to piecing together the plot. I felt so rushed in trying to get through them that they couldn't sink in. I ended up having to just look them up online.

    Immercenary was way, way ahead of its time. Awesome concept for its day.

    9. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic w/ Solomon's Revenge addon (PC) - 04.08

    KOTOR is still a pretty great game, and the Solomon's Revenge addon is worth it, though I'd recommend playing it on its own, and not as part of a regular playthrough. Together they are just too long. Fortunately, the addon does come with a save to start it out.

    4. Densetsu no Starfy (GBA) 4/10

    While I haven't made a conscious effort to do so, it seems I've been keeping up a pattern of beating one game a month. That's not bad, actually, as that rate would put me at a higher total at the end of the year than what I had for each of the last three years. But who knows, maybe I'll manage another before April is over.

    Two games in one month, whoo-hoo! I cleared Toki Tanba's route in The Charming Empire, getting both the Happy ending and Normal ending. As much as I enjoy visual novels that are a slow burn and really let you get immersed, it was nice to play through one that moves at a brisk pace. Of course, I still have four more routes to do sometime.

    I just did the first Wario Ware game on GBA for the first time. It was dumb. Kinda fun,but dumb through and through. I'd forgotten I that I had this one, as it was in my wife's old DS carrying case. Basically, zero skill micro games that all but universally are exercisrs in timing. It definitely felt more like a mobile game than I'd care to do often.
