The Official Playstation Blogcast has been gushing about Spelunky for months now. <Groan> I'm sure it's great, but hard platformers are not my cup of tea.

I just found this site HowLongToBeat.com and have been writing down times for games I want to play. RPGs get the longest, of course, so I'm trying to figure out how many weeks I need with a particular game and then try and play only that game. It's hard not to get distracted by other stuff all the time though.

Just got a date for Broken Age, Jan 28th, and then saw another cool game Banner Saga just out on Steam. January starting to pile up already and I have so much to play as it is. Argh!

You'd think they could do better with character graphics for The Bachelor on 3DS 'cause THAT bachelor's got no chance.

That he's trying to liken the Vita to an Apple product says a lot. Clearly iDevices are taking over the portable space. My neices and nephews don't have DSes or Vitas. They have iPads and iPhones. The games are even easier to play than handhelds for kids. Swipe and tap gameplay is litterally a no brainer. I just noticed the other day when I went to look up the game of the movie The Lorax, that I was sure was out for consoles and handhelds just like kids liscenced products always are, is only out on iOS. That's the way it's going. Development costs are probably less too. Heck, even I'm looking at upgrading my iPod Touch to get the newer games. My Vita is not becoming an iPod, my iPod is stamping its life out.

Just watched the trailer and saw it has an 84 on Metacritic so far. Looks super sweet!!!

I was looking up lots of old school RPGs and they have a lot. Good Old Games has a lot too I noticed. Sometimes they both a have a title and sometimes one has it. Who carries the old Advanced Dungeons and Dragons games? Neither carry those.

I see you head up the PIxlbit group on Steam. I just joined it the other day. I love Steam! Now to actually do some gaming there.

I just heard there will be a new Star Wars Rogue Leader game this year. It was the first one on Gamecube that led me to buy that system. I hope this one is for Wii-U so I have another reason to get that.

I try to resist looking too far ahead. I usually just do the next month. Usually release dates are firm by then. Firm and fruity.
