I downloaded and played a few hours of Monster Hunter Stories. So far, I really love it. It's so colorful, like a cell shaded game, and the design is complex but not overly so, which makes it kind of perfect for a handheld game. The colors really pop and it's easy to navigate on those small screens. I like the gameplay too. Turn-based RPG, oh yea. I like. It's just the demo though. I might rent the full game when I'm finished (I'm still on "no-buy" status). We'll see. 

These are the legendary figures I have for Trap Team. I have two of the four that were made for this game. 

But first, I managed to clear the first area in Crystal Defenders and I got a screen shot to prove it. 

I got way into Forza Horizon today and even more so because Mark found the game on his system. So we both played it a lot. But I also played some other stuff before he discovered it. 

I bought Lego Indiana Jones today. It became backwards compatible for XBO earlier this year. I'd played it before, but didn't complete it. I looked up the achievements and it looks like I played through the main story and that was it. I didn't go for all the collectibles. Well, I will now. But, I just installed the game and played some other stuff today. 

I was a mess today, that's for sure. Very stressed out, nearly quit my job, couldn't get myself to do schoolwork. So what did I do? Go to my friend's place and play some games until I could see straight again. As usual in these circumstances, I jump around from game to game and end up playing something barely interactive. For me that's tower defense. But here's the breakdown of it all. 

The final category for my Trap Team figures. Next will be the variants and elite figures I have and then on to SuperChargers. 

Today I nearly finished Battlefield Bad Company, mulled about in Minecraft for a bit, tried the Screamride demo and got into Puzzle Quest. I think I want to play some RPGs next time. 

I played a world in Minecraft today acting as a caveman. I used nothing but a bone to defend myself and chop for resources. It's basically as good as a wooden axe, so why make a wooden axe? Ugg, my character, doesn't know how to make an axe anyway.

I played a level in Hey! Pikmin today while waiting for a pizza. The game is beautiful. As I fly around the levels with my flying pikmin carrying me, I keep thinking of old arcade games as I send some out to kill an enemy or pick up a sparklium. I think it's the verticality of some of the levels and the way the sparklium is arranged in patterns seeming floating in air. It's like an old school arcade shooter sometimes.
