There is a lot of good games I am enjoying right now and some I haven't even played yet or barely scratched the surface of. Games I am currently playing and that backlog will likely grow considering GTAV is nearly upon us. I started on some Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix. I am impressed how the game holds up visually. It is still gorgeous. It's been a long time since I played the game so its nice playing it again. I though jumped right to the hardest difficult which has impeding my progress. It's going to make finishing this game tougher than I expected. Deep Jungle had drove me crazy trying to jump from vine to vine.

Now I held of playing Rayman Legends for a bit while it sat on my shelve. I am blown away by it. I am playing it on the Vita. I enjoyed and played the last game on both the PS3 and Vita but decided because I put way more time in the Vita version that I would just get the handheld version. I have to say that it is obviously gorgeous but what impressed me the most was the touch screen game play. It is the best implemented touchscreen game play that I have ever experienced. This makes me believe the Wii U and Vita versions are the best versions to get. The game is also full of so much content as well. I am impressed.

The other game I just started up on Friday was Killzone: Mercenary. It is a visual beast as well. I think it holds up impressively as a console experience on the go. The irony is the controls need more weight like the prior games. It feels a bit too loss. I like how the XP is implemented in the story mode and carries over to multiplayer. That is something I haven't experienced yet. I have been enjoying these games. Played them? What are your thoughts? I am more stoked for the hd remaster of Final Fantasy X after playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix.

I got the Kingdom Hearts HD game for my birthday. Can't wait to see what the Winnie the Pooh world looks like in HD!

I'm reviewing Rayman Legends for Wii U right now.

KH on Hard Mode FTW! The game looks innocent enough on the outside, but the game is hard towards the end. I remember having to level up in some worlds before taking on the end game. My favorite part from KH was the Colliseum. Have you unlocked Cloud/Sephiroth yet?

I was planning on getting Rayman on WiiU. Not so interested in GTAV, just not my kind of game. : ( But FFX, Yeah I can't wait for that!!!

I haven't got that far in it. I beat the game on the PS2 but right now on hard, its taking too long to advance in the game.

One thing I've noticed in hard mode is that donald and goofy get KO all the time, so I have to carry them along, and also reserve my magic for heavies. Olympus is kicking my ass and it's only a 2-star world. I'll have to move on to the 3rd world and level up there. The game is more enjoyable in hard mode I think.

Oh, you think the KH 1 hard mode is your ally, you merely adopted the difficulty. I was born into it, molded by it. I didn't see the ending until I was already a preteen. By then it was nothing to me but blinding!

I'm still playing Shin Megami Tensei IV (3DS) and Dragon Age Origins (360). I actually finished DAO and started playing it again.

I thought about getting GTA5. I'll probably just hold out for the price drop though. The only game I currently have preordered is the Zelda game on 3DS.

GTAV is a time consuming game. I think massive games are worth getting on day 1 but those 15 hour games can wait. DOA again? You have become a big Bioware fan, at least in a sense.

I have so many other games I need to play, that I can put off GTA5. I actually almost picked it up yesterday. I hate that a year for now, GTA5 will probably have some dlc that will come out. I would like to wait till the full game and dlc is all packaged and sold together.

I am a big fan of Bioware. They only disappointed me with ME3's ending. I'm currently waiting for some kind of price drop on their dlc for Dragon Age 2. Right now DA2's dlc is more expensive than the game.

Really want to get a vita, but there just doesn't seem like many worthwhile games on the system. I mean there's Persona IV... and that's about it for me in terms of exclusives.

I think there are plenty of great games on the Vita and a lot of titles on it are best played on the Vita. Everyone has their own tastes though which is hard to argue. I am more excited for the Vita because of remote play. I am excited to try it out.

I haven't had much urge to try Kingdom Hearts again after the overwrought Birth by Sleep. I still have a PS2 copy of the original anyway. I've preordered FFX HD though I am wondering that the orchestrated soundtrack and the overhauled visuals are a wasted effort; it just doesn't look any more impressive than any other HD upgrade. Again, I do have the original if I don't like the changes!

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix is the most impressive looking HD upgrade I have played. Square Enix has done a great job. I think because of this is one reason these games have taken a big longer to come out than other HD upgraded titles.

I wouldn't mind giving Kingdom Hearts another go with the remake. Then again, I still need to play 2, BBS, and 3D. Hopefully Square will do a 2.5 Remix with those three packed in.
