I know this is the top of the Metrcritic lists for those years but man, what a stack of games that is! Galaxy 2 is so good. And Skyward Sword gets a bad rap, I think. People hate on it for the motion controls and the over tutorializing and chatty sword—none of which bothered me too much—but I felt its worst offense was bloat. It's just too long. BUT it also has excellent dungeons and the Zelda in this game is a really great character.

I probably will get that game too sometime! There really aren't that many Picross games and I do so enjoy Picross. I went with Story of Seasons this time because it was on sale.

It's very hard to imagine Destiny coming to an end, given its nature as a live service game. But yes, what next? I would say that maybe they will start up some second game to run alongside it BUT that's kind of already the case. They are making a Marathon game for Sony (who owns them now). It's some kind of multiplayer shooter, which sucks since the original Marathon games were great story-heavy games. I wish Bungie would make some self-contained, play-them-and-they're-done kind of games again.

I haven't really gotten into a Monkey Ball game since the first one on the GameCube but I've heard this one is very good. It's wild—but cool—the work they put into these mini games.

One day I will get around to playing Valkyria Chronicles! It will happen!

"I found out I own the digital version on Xbox 360. Who can keep track of all these digital games?" And this is why I go through the bother of maintaining my Backloggery account 

I am one of those peole that does not like Super Paper Mario. I think the combination of RPG and 2D platforming—at least the way it's done in this game—waters down both aspects. It's hard to remember specifics because it has been the better part of 20 years since I played it. I do hope you will enjoy it. I'm sure the writing was good, at least.

Prof. Layton is one of those low-key regrets for me. If I had ever tried any of the games, I bet I would have liked it...but I never did.

Looks like you have been revisiting a lot of classics! Still Wakes the Deep does sound like a cool game.

And I just played Rayman Legends last year! That team needs free reign more often.

I really *dug* SteamWorld Dig (haha!) and the sequel is supposed to be better in every way, so I am looking forward to it! I love how varied the SteamWorld series of games is
