It's good to know that intrepid individuals like yourself keep giving internet browsers on Nintendo consoles/handhelds a chance when you know they'll break your heart.

Turtles In Time Re-shelled was not an enjoyable experience for me. The presentation and animations were weird, the controls didn't feel right and constantly stepping on things to have your turtle say "My toes, my toes!" is the equivalent of Toad grunting in the GBA version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (and just as annoying). 

I LOVE Scott Pilgrim. I should play it more often.

From a PR standpoint, Sony got the drop on Microsoft this year, from the emphasis on gaming at the PS4 presentation to the reports that working relations with developers (especially indies) are better than ever. The feeling/suspicion about Microsoft is that the next console will be more of an all-in-one entertainment center and less emphasis on games. The pressure on Microsoft to impress with their unveiling is huge. With internet gossip, of course it's completely out of control and not knowing anything doesn't stop people from shooting off at the mouth.

And like you, I'm a late adopter as well when it comes to gaming consoles. I'm always catching up anyway.

I didn't have a good time with Zelda II as a child. However, I was ignorant of RPG mechanics and I believe I didn't understand how to properly play the game. I've revisited it in the past year or so (and at this point I understand the genre a lot better and I'm tolerant of grinding) and I like it but its old-school difficulty makes it a tough slog. I like that the creators did something different and alternate approaches like Zelda II should happen every know and then but not too much.

Yikes. If you're in maintainence you have it rougher than I do. 

I just picked up Ni No Kuni. Even if I don't continue where I left off right away, it feels good to know that I own it finally.

Good point that the amount of good games of recent and the past year are monopolizing your time, no matter how many promising titles are on the horizon. I'm constantly playing catchup on many titles, even those that are 2-3 years old.

Name a game that frustrated you so much that you couldn't finish it and explain why.

I haven't played Jean D'Arc but the other two are great.

Sounds like a plan to me. The Uncharted games are worth it, too.

I couldn't get into Fallout 3. I only played enough to make it out of the Vault and visit the first town but the sheer size of options was so staggering I wouldn't make time for it. I'll come back to it some day.

I love Mass Effect. Great story and characters. The only thing I hated about the Mako was fighting in it. When I had to fight a Thresher Maw....god that sucked. I hate those creatures or anything that looks like a sandworm. They'd pop out of the ground and make you soil yourself. The same thing happened in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.
