I was actually thinking about replaying both super metroid and super mario rpg. I have gotten a nasty itch to play older games recently.
May 2013 Recap

Life has been quite busy for the last couple of weeks. You might have noticed that I missed posting last week's OCR Spotlight. There's just too much going on right now and I'm having trouble keeping up. Hence why the recap of last month is just now going up. But better late than never, I guess?
May started off as a good month for games. The second half...not so much.
Games Beaten
-Rocket Knight (PSN)
-BloodRayne: Betrayal (PSN)
For more on those two see this blog here.
-HarmoKnight (3DS)
I got this game from the kind folks here at PixlBit for winning a blog contest and I must say, their enthusiam for this game is totally warranted. It's a ton of fun and the music, which covers styles as disparate as classical and rock, is great. It's a little short but it is a downloadable game, after all, and it does offer quite a bit of replay value for what's there. Highly recommended.
Games Bought
-Labyrinth Legends (PS3) (PS+)
-Borderlands 2 (360)
Thanks to a rewards coupon from GameStop, we paid only $5 for this. That, my friends, is a bargain!
-Polarium (DS)
Got this puzzler for just 99 cents.
-Sleeping Dogs (PS3) (PS+)
-Resident Evil 6 (360)
I know this one gets a lot of hate...and it's mostly deserved...but for the $5 my wife paid for it, I figure I'll just form my own opinion.
-The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap (GBA)
About time I played this.
-Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (VC)
I played this SNES gem back in the day but we got a free download of it from Club Nintendo :)
-Nintendo Land (Wii U)
That's right, we bought a Wii U! After we got our tax return, my wife, the bargain hunter, found a complete deluxe model on Cow Boom (a subsidary website of Best Buy) that was opened and returned because of deep stratches on the system. We decided we could live with the cosmetic stratches since it would save us $100 off the retail price. When the system arrived we discovered that the stratches were greatly exaggerated. You can hardly notice them if you're not looking for them. Plus the cords had never been unwound and Nintendo Land was still in the shrink wrap, so it's basically a new system. That's pretty awesome :D
-New Super Mario Bros U (Wii U)
But my wife was't done. She found a new copy of this somewhere...Amazon Warehouse, maybe?...for $30, which is cheaper than it sells for used.
-Super Metroid (Wii U VC)
30 cents!
Now Playing
-Borderlands 2 (360)
This really is about the only thing I've played in the last couple weeks, and not much at that. Well, I have been playing some iOS games but I don't count those here because if they ever become an official part of the backlog, I'm done for lol. But Borderlands 2 is a lot of fun. Playing it with the wife. She likes RPGs and the occasional FPS, so this game is a dream come true for her. Who knows, maybe we'll even buy some DLC (a rarity).

So that was it for May and in about two weeks, that'll be it for June. That recap should be much shorter at least lol. Still not caught up here on PixlBit but I'm working on it. Hopefully I'll have more time soon but things will probably still be tight for a while yet.
But with enough bullheaded determination I made it through lol
