Just finished reading the Ign review and it seems like the main reason they didn't like the game is because it wasn't a Castelvania:SOTN clone. I played the demo and while it is much different from previous games it didn't seem that bad. It amazes me from lookng at the Metacritic scores that 2 reviews found it pretty much dreadful, while most found it to be good, but not great. Seems like one of those games where if you liked the demo then it is an instnat by or eventual buy and if you didn't then you will pass on it. I liked it and will probably pick it up.
Already own retail copy of Bit Trip and already own Samurai and Mutant Mudds. So those are out. No interest in Keitzel so that is out. Will defintiely pick up Fratcure Soul. Liked the demo, but couldn't justify the price. $7.99 seems more appropriate. Not sure abotu Crasmo since I never fnished Pushmo yet.
Finally going to start Fire Emblem Awakening. Has been sitting it's case since Wednesday waiting for me to play it. Probably also a little Order Up since my son deleted my save file (by accident). May pick up Mega Man 2 if I find some extra cash too.
Tactical RPGs/ Strategy RPGs have always been video game kryptonite for me. I have tried a few but could never get into them. That said having played the demo only I was instantly hooked and think I may have to jump in and test the FE waters.
Clive it is for me. Already played the retail version of Code of Princess. Very nice hack-n-slash title. Would love to get Unchained Blades, but will need to come up with $30 first. So will probably have to push that off til a later date.
Short? 10 hours for a game that costs $7.99 seems like a good value to me. Especially when you consider the number of games that have been released recenty that don't even last 5 hours and cost the same amount of money. Was never much of a fan of table top games like D&D, but am intrigued and may give it a whirl.
Fractured SOul demo was ok, but after playing it I still don't know that it warrents such a high price tag. If it were lower then maybe it would be an instant buy, but think I will wait til another time
Fractured Soul demo for sure. Having been wanting to try this game for a while. Titanic seems like something I might like and possibly Crystal Adventure
On the 3DS front it will be Rhythm Thief (loving this game) and Order UP with some Marvel Pinball 3D sprinkled in. Might start Centipede Infestation too (picekd it up cheap). As for other systems it will be Lego Batman 2 for the 360
HOR demo is good, but that is about it. Already have Zelda from Ambassador program. Thankfully Rythem Theif comes out on Tuesday so that will make up for nothing good being released today.
Am more intrigued by Rhythm Thief now that I played the demo. I didn't expect that many different type of rhythm based game play. May have to add that to my summer list after Heros of Ruin and Kingdom Hearts.
Was originally going to go all in and get it, but after playing the demo I may be changing my mind. I have it for the 360 and it is a blast to play on there. I didn't get that same enjoyment from the 3DS demo. The reviewer is rigth it does seem darker on the 3DS, plus playing it on a smaller screen also makes it harder to try and navigate some of the levels. Guess I will be passign on it for now. Maybe someday when if it ends up in the bargin bin I might pick it up then.
Don't know. Not much in my 3DS library right now. No Lego Batman until next week and no Heroes of Ruin until July. Might use the $10.00 that I have on the eshop and buy something to kill some time.
Guess it is a good thing that I picked up Tales of the Abyss this week since neither of the eshop releases do anything me. Also looks like maybe I will spend money for a game on my wish list now.

Darn. I was actually looking forward to the game. Guess I can remove it from my wish list after reading this review

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2013 (North America)
Probably just FE demo for me. Still have Crimson Shroud waiting for me. Plus Virtue Last Reward and Heroes of Ruin to playthrough.

Re: Review: Anonymous Notes Chapter 3 - From The Abyss (DSiWare)
I owned the retail version. It was good, nothing earth shattering or ground breaking. If you are a fan of hack-n-slash then it is worth a go.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Festive Edition
Epic Mickey Power of Illusion, Crimson Shroud, Gardenscape and WWE All-Stars. Will be spending a lot of time with my 3DS it looks like.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)
So the winners for me were Crimson Shroud, Gardenscape and Adventure Time demo. This keep me busy for a while.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)
Just sw the video for gardenscapes on nintendo.com Looks like a combo of hidden object and building sim
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December 2012 (North America)
Crimson Shroud for me. Will need to find some extra money for Ninja Gaiden and possibly Gardenscapes.
