I think my first handheld was an arcade cabinet-shaped Pac-Man LCD game. 

I wasn't impressed with the Game Boy at first.  I could already play Tetris on my PC, and I couldn't understand why anyone would want to play on such a tiny green screen.  The first game that really showed me there was a future in handheld gaming was Link's Awakening, which ended up being my top favorite Zelda game of all time.

Most of the time, Nintendo ruled my handheld gaming time.  I did get into a lot of PSP games, but there was one time that I liked a handheld better than Nintendo's.  And that was the Neo Geo Pocket Color.  I thought that SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash was better than Pokemon!

Journey was a neat game, but I guess I didn't like it as much as everyone else.  It's just a game about a ketchup bottle walking through the desert. :)

At first when I read your blog title I thought it said "Froggy Goodness."

I'm glad I've been able to review all the Skylanders games.  Too bad you didn't get the Wii U and 3DS versions.  They come with Donkey Kong and Bowser Skylanders!

If you like Return to Dream Land, you should also try Kirby Triple Deluxe on 3DS.

I covered and previewed Dragon Fin Soup for a couple of years, and when it came out and I requested a review copy, they just said, "Oh it's free with PS Plus this month."  I don't subscribe to that, so that kind of pissed me off.

It's hard to get people to play Triforce Heroes with me.

My favorite Christmas songs are "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Snoopy's Christmas," and when The Muppets sing "12 Days of Christmas" at the start of the John Denver Christmas special.

I want that Mario car!  A few years ago, I think Matchbox did video game character cars with games from SEGA and Namco.  I believe there was a Nintendo one, too. My favorite was the Space Channel 5 van with Ulala on it.

Hey did you get a chance to read my LEGO blog?  I know it was really long!

Wow that is one lucky kid!  Do you like to play LEGO games with your son?

One cool thing about the Wreck-It Ralph soundtrack is the "Wreck It, Wreck It Ralph" theme song was done by the same folks who did Pac-Man Fever back in the 80's, and the Sugar Rush theme song was done by AKB48, a J-Pop group.  So it all seems fitting.

My Game of the Year in 2012 was Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy on 3DS.  I really like Final Fantasy music and making a music game out of it was so cool.  2012 was also the year the Wii U came out, so that was pretty significant.

Other highlights in gaming for 2012 included:

Soul Calibur V (360)

Nintendo Land (Wii U)

Sonic & SEGA Racing Transformed (360)

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (360)

20th Anniversary Kirby's Dream Collection (Wii)

Double Dragon Neon (360)

It's a lot!  And so many that I like, which is why I had to get it!

Sorry about your grandmother.  It's tough when you know family that's not doing too well.  It was rough when my grandmother died a couple of years ago.
