Cool! Is it the original design or the slim? I wish I had the money to get one now because of that OLED screen but it's just a no go. I started playing my PSP again the other day, though, and was reminded how much I like it. I'm sure I'd love a Vita. *sigh* Some day...
I wondered how you had time to play all those games, but I guess it makes sense to just get a taste. And speaking of catching up, I've been hoping to get through yours...you're just a tad verbose lol and I haven't been able to use my computer the last few days because of a power cord issue. So much to do! Anyway, glad you like the blogs. I think it's the most I've ever done in one month.
The best games of that era were hard but fair. Plenty were hard and not fair though lol. You make some good points here. Some games were hard to make up for being short, I think, like Contra. You can breeze through that pretty quick if you're good at it (or have 30 lives) but no one would have come back to play it more if they beat it their first try. Hard games are really satisfying to beat but yeah, most of us just don't have the time for them anymore.
I have the first two games for the PS2 and All 4 One for the PS3 (digitally courtesy of PS+), but I haven't played any of them. They definitely sound like the kind of games I'd like but...man, there are so many things to play o_O
I want to do some blogs like this but I'm so conlflicted. I have so many unplayed games. Maybe I still will. Very interesting list you have here though. I own or have played a lot of these (Dishonored for the win!). Did not know about Quake 2 being included with Quake 4. I might buy that now (the internet tells me it's $3 at GameStop). When it comes to Halo, though, I liked 4 the best, campaign and multiplayer. Reach is great, no doubt, and I played a ton of that when it was the newest one but I enjoyed 4 more.
Man, that does sound pretty cool. I'm just surprised the developer could get all this together in the year since ACIII.
Wow, you don't see such a low score very often but it sounds like it's richly deserved. Personally, I rarely spend any time in Time Trial modes in racing games, so even if this was decent it wouldn't really interest me.
I've always wanted to try the Armored Core series but I have no idea where to jump in. This does not sound like a good entry for that. Any suggestions?
I love the crayons and coloring book in the background of the picture. Guess you gotta have something to do while not playing, huh? 
I finished El Shaddai on Monday. An enjoyable game, to be sure, but very strange. The ending is weird. I'm looking forward to hearing what the chaps on Backloggers have to say about it.
Blackgate sounds pretty good. I do love that Metroidvania style though. I'd have to play it on the 3DS but I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. There are just so many good 3DS games now.
