Wrapped up Ratchet & Clank 3, plus Size Matters. Don't think I'll give R&C3 a second playthrough; I find no where near as much enjoyment in it as R&C2. #2 was a great shift in gameplay from the first.

#3 seems like the devs found a bunch of the new stuff from 2 that they like the most and elaborated on it for some boring arena gameplay; then took it even further in Gladiator. Although 2's arena was a nice addition and a lot of fun, 3's felt like a grindy pushover. At least Gladiator still had a story to follow. I think Insomniac noticed the mistake, reverting back to what made R&C fun for the Future series.

Size Matters is a good outing; its shortness makes multiple playthroughs easy. A R&C on the Vita would be such an astonishing move I can't see why Insomniac haven't followed up with their handheld series. Granted, if one were released on the Vita, Insomniac themselves should develop it. High Impact never fully captured Ratchet's character; Clank was well written and animated, yet there's something off about Ratch.

Revelations in the bag, all set for ac3. I liked revelations but it definately suffered from a bit of sequelitis, the den defense sections just plain sucked and I found the bombs and parachutes were ultimately useless additions (used them only a handful of times). I did like the story, i felt it wrapped up ezio and altiir's stories well. Hopefully the extended dev time and change of protagonist/setting makes for a better ac3 gameplay wise.

Am I the only one that found the change in ezio's appearance jarring? It's only 4 years later yet it looks like he's aged 20 years.

I suppose it's the graying hair that really pushes his appearance of age so far. His voice is more off putting than his appearance; I'd fully expected casting to find another VA with an older voice to fill the role.

Homefront. I knew it would be short but wow, that was short.

[Mr.Mew]

Was it good, though?

[xander_cade]

I enjoyed it yes.

Saints Row: The Third

Pretty funny and quite enjoyable. Putting the difficulty to casual was the best. Nothing got in the way of fun after that. If, like me, you don't typically enjoy Rockstar(esque) games I still recommend it highly.

Finally finished off Splinter Cell Conviction. Good game, though it was a tad short and the end basically became clear this room of guards, move to the next room, rinse and repeat. I enjoyed lobbing grenades and ducking around behind them, never got old.

Finished Kingdoms of Amalur, put 50 hours into it. Solid fun, good combat but horribly cliched story
