I think those RPGs are an acquired taste. I didn't really get into any of them. But one PS3 game that seems to get forgotten, but I loved, is the action RPG 3-D Dot Game Heroes.
You picked some good ones. I especially liked the piratey songs and themes in DKC2.
Wario Land 2 also had some great pirate themes with Captain Syrup. Another good one was Zack & Wiki.
It's not video game related, but look up a song on YouTube called The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.
Okamiden was my Game of the Year for 2011. I really liked it.
I appreciated FF7 for trying to do different things, but after I finished it, I decided that I really didn't like it very much.
Have you played FF6, FF4, or FF9? Those are my favorites.
Did you hear that Square announed that the sequel to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (the FF music game on 3DS) is coming to the US? I really liked the first one.
I was a little too old to get into TMNT when it first came out. I didn't get into the toys and I only watched the cartoon because I knew someone who worked on it. But when the arcade games came out, boy I really got into those! Later when Turtles in Time came out on the SNES, my little brother Jeff and I played it a lot. If I accidentallly nabbed the pizza, Jeff would whine and cry out, "MOOOMMMM! Cary got the pizza!" Don't blame him, he was just a very little kid. But we still joke about that today!
I haven't read a book in a long time.
My favorite Ridge Racer games are Type 4 for PSOne, Ridge Racer 64, and Ridge Racer 6 on 360 and the one on PSP are good, too.
I'm not looking forward to any of those on your list, but there are a couple of games at the beginning and end of May that I'll be getting.
The first is Kirby Triple Deluxe. You know I like my Kirby games. I've even got a blog in the works to celebrate the release. Expect it later next week.
On the same day, Mario Golf: World Tour will be released. I loved the GameCube Mario Golf game, so I've got this one on reserve, too. I've got a blog planned about that, too.
At the end of May there's Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Yeah, you guessed it, I have a blog in my head about that as well.
There are a couple of games that are coming out at the end of April that I'm going to get as well. The first is the downloadable NES Remix 2. And don't laugh, but I'm also looking forward to reviewing Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends. Yeah, I like those games. Guess I'm not very manly, huh? :)
Oh cool. You got the PS3 one. I don't have that one, I've only played the Rune Factory games on the handhelds. I'd like to try the PS3 one sometime. I hear your farm is on a giant golem monster, and sometimes you must battle other giant monsters in the ocean, Godzilla style!
Yes it was surprisingly good.
