That makes sense. She can't be in the party at the beginning of the battle. I didn't know you can start a battle without her. 

I keep marveling at how well Peter Jackson has translated the novel to film. I mean, this game copies the movie very closely. I noticed it in the LEGO Lord of the Rings game as well. You haven't experienced either novel or film, so I guess this doesn't mean much to you, but it's not really necessary. The story in LEGO Hobbit is well told, if incredibly complicated.

I can't wait to dig into Weapon Shop de Omasse. It's such a neat concept. Btw, what does "Omasse" mean?

I've heard good things about X, but not much about IX. I'd like to play both sometime.

howlongtobeat.com says about 50 hours but more if you try and do everything.

I wonder how fast tablets need to be upgraded. I'd hate to think that if I got one, I'd be unable to run games effectively after only one year.

I know what you mean, but I got a very different feeling from Demon's Souls, which was equally punishing, if not more so. It seemed like I could master that system with some time. That it was fair in its challenge. Bound By Flame just seemed unfair to me. Like it didn't give me the right tools to do the job.

I kinda cringed when I traded Wolfenstein, but I think, if I play it again, it will be on a next gen system. Could be fun to see if the game chugs when I blow Nazi chunks all over the place like it did on Xbox 360.

I'm sure it'll go on sale again. What a surprise that game was! The voice acting in it is top notch. Deathshead still creeps me out and many of the moments in the story still affected me emotionally even though I'd seen them many times.

Ooo. That's cool! I've got to get to that one sometime. The extra screen space really does add to the experience. I was kinda surprised by how much when it was really just a few bars in Wolfenstein: N.O..

yea, his page lists all his work. I didn't know he wrote Zombie U and Binary Domain as well.

Yea, the Taito Collections are really cool. I gotta get the one for PSP now.

I've been thinking of EVO all week. Glad you put up that highlight video. I wanted to see some of that.
