Double Dribble, and lots of it. The game will never lose its charm, and the animation of the dunks still gives you a second or two to trash talk.

Contra on Tandy Color.

Using an emulator because a physical version seems impossible to find.

I'd like to finish it, but the choppy controls make it quite challenging.

Been playing Mario Kart Wii recently.

Pretty basic game but Mario Kart never gets old :). Also trying online MP on the Wii out for the first time ever. Finding a quick match is easy enough but I wish the friend management plus lobby making was easier :P.

Also getting the itch to play through Dragon Age Origins again. I always seem to get 60% of the way through the game before loosing interest.

I am caught in the grips of Rogue Legacy. I've played it for 17 hours already since picking it up Thursday evening.

The big problem with Mario Kart Wii is cheating. It is everywhere! People with unlimited star power run rampant in both modes. It is incredibly frustrating. I just hope that Nintendo can find a way through those issues with the new version on Wii U.

As for me, I just started playing, The Wonderful 101 on WiiU. This game is incredibly challenging, but very fulfilling. This game demands a lot out of the player, incorporating a slew of various moves and strategies into your playstyle will take a lot of time to master; not to mention utilizing various strategies per enemy.

I used to make a comparison to games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, but have to say that this game has a far superior combat system. Every enemy has a various strategies you can utilize against them and there is huge benefits for having a strong defense and counter attacks. My only gripe is the camera, but that is so little in comparison to the longevity this game will have in my system.

I played a little bit of Foul Play on the 360 today. It is very odd to play this the same day that I finished Puppeteer. Both games have a stage theater theme and both have British flavored humor. It's an odd coincidence that both of these games came out this month

Foul Play is a completely different genre though, 2d beat 'em up. I beat the first Act's 5 stages with five star ranks and all challenges completed. It's fun so far

I want very much to play this game. Hopefully it pops up in a Humble Bundle sometime. (I probably won't notice if they finish porting it to OS X otherwise.)

Dead Rising 2 (PS3)

I sold this game a while back and regretted it. I sank 3 hours into it last night. There's just so much stuff to do. This is the perfect game to keep me occupied until GTA 5 gets cheaper.

Played a lot of Legend of the Oasis today. Really just a great action rpg for the Saturn. Lots of cool combo attacks and great graphics. It gets even better when you get the larger sword. A great game all around.
