Some for not very long, but still 9. 

Human Fall Flat: Interesting puzzle game. I played until I got stuck trying to climb. I figured out how to do it with your dough-like character, but this one ledge would not let me climb it. No matter how I moved the camera around, my legs still wouldn't move up over the edge. Neat though. 

Call of Cthulhu: This is very much like the Sherlock Holmes games. You walk around beautiful 19th century environments, talk to people, read a lot, and do some steath and puzzles. I got pretty far and even snuck myself out of the basement asylum but then I got stuck trying to beat this Cthulhuean monster. It required a lot of stealth and trial and error. I surprised myself with having enough patience to repeat the area a dozen times or so. I even figured out what to do, but the prospect of repeating what I had to do, possibly twenty times, to get the right object, with no clue to help me, really made me stop. Too bad, I was enjoying it. 

Bayonetta: I thought I had to play this and Vanquish for rewards points but turns out I had to play the recent remastered double pack instead. Well, it was worth it anyway, because I got really far in Bayonetta. I played on very easy and thought I'd make it all the way through but I got stuck on a stupid hallway full of spikes. I got past the spikes but the door at the end wouldn't open no matter how fast I crossed the symbols on the floor, which never lit up anyway, so I don't know what else I was supposed to do. Boy I loved the battles in this game though. So zany and off the wall. It kept reminding me of God Hand, a game by former Platinum's Clover Games Studio. 

Vanquish: Very cool control scheme. That first boss though. Sheesh. That thing only had eyes for me and it was laser accurate. I got stuck on it. 

Untitled Goose Game: Pretty neat thing. Control a goose and cause as much mischief as possible. You get a list of things to do. I did all but one on the first list. I couldn't figure out how to get the farmer to put on his sun hat. I moved to the next area but then had some trouble with the objectives there too. Where the heck is the toothpaste? Fun though. 

Bioshock remaster: Played a little bit more of this and decided I'd had enough. I put it on easy but I just wasn't feeling it. I really wanted to find a way to break the game. This game wants to slow you down as much as possible. 

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed: Turns out I had this from a Games with Gold giveaway. I played a little bit of every mode. It's a fantastic kart racer. I love the locations based on various game worlds like Afterburner and Panzer Dragoon. I'll keep this one installed and go back to it here and there. 

Star Wars Battlefront: The old Xbox game. Seems cool at first but my droid gets killed at the slightest of damage. It's kind of annoying to continually respawn like that. 

Earth Defense Force 2025: I reinstalled this and started working on getting all four character types to beat the game on Normal. I've done it for the Ranger, but not Wing Diver, Air Raider or Fencer. I'm doing ten levels at a time and bringing them all in one at a time. I finished up through level 20 and am half way done the next set of ten. For the Ranger, I'm trying to beat more levels on Hardest and will eventually get to those few Hard levels I haven't beat yet. 
      i really like the Wing Diver's ability to fly. The Air Raider is interesting. I'm using a limpet mine gun. It can shoot up to 25 sticky mines that you can then set off all at once. I also use turrets and bring in the missile launcher vehicle from time to time. The Fencer has been a challeng but I'm getting good at it. I have two very powerful mortal guns for long range and then two Spine Buster short range weapons for everything else.   
     Sometimes I have to switch up the weapons for a specific level. It's pretty fun trying out new stuff. I recently discovered a new medium range weapon for the Wing Diver that works great. It shoots out a spread of five or more energy blasts. It really clears a crowd of bugs fast. 

Well, that's a lot. Onward.
