Get ready to get sucked into Gears of War 3. Me and friend started it November of last year and didn't stop playing it until some time in February this year - three months straight! We did the story missions pretty quickly but Horde mode was an obsession. So much fun. Never got tired of it. We'd still be playing it but I felt like I should start something new. Man, forget about getting every single badge though. Some of those are for the gamers who play nothing else. We're talking 500 + hours worth.

I second that! Your holiday sounds killer.

It was available at the launch of 3DS. I think it got overlooked as just another liscenced game, but it's great.

I love my 3DS XL. Bigger screen, bigger wow. I've bought a bunch of games for it this year. TC Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is an excellent turn based strategy game by some of the guys who did the original XCOM. I love that. I got Fire Emblem: Awakening, Etrian Odyssey IV, and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon last Spring, and I want to pick up Shin Megami Tensei IV, Mario & Luigi Dream Team ASAP. I've preordered Etrian Odyssey Untold, which is a remake of the first Etrian Odyessy game, out Oct. 1. The sound on the 3DS is really great. That stands out to me. There's nothing not to like about getting one this year. I'm super happy with it. 

I've seen more DBZ than Naruto.

Funny that I haven't seen it in a game yet although there's always ice weapons that freeze an enemy that you can then shatter with a melee attack. That's been used plenty. Someone needs to do one where it only freezes their head and then you knock that off. That'd be a true brain freeze attack.

I saw both Record of Agarest War games when I went to Gamestop, but I had a budget to stick to and a buy two get one sale. I will pick them up sometime.

Funny, I'm doing something similar. Doing all the Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion. Plenty of knives in the dark but very little climbing. Some jumping and a whole lot of sneaking though.

I've only see a little bit of the show over the shoulder of a few friends who are mad into it. When I saw a Naruto game that wasn't all fighting, I remembered it.

Love the weirdness. It's on my list.
