I recently finished up Rayman: Raving Rabbids on Wii, and it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't too good either. The storyline had me hooked for a bit, but I felt betrayed by its ending, and some of the minigames like Bunnies are Slow to React and the jump-roping game were difficult. Some of the covers of classic songs like La Bamba and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun were pretty good to listen to, as a matter of fact. Next I am going to finish up Sonic and the Secret Rings, then I may head back to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Yes, I use Virtual Console a LOT for my gaming experience.

As for the Xbox 360, I am currently playing several games, including Gotham City Impostors, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, and Super Street Fighter IV. The latter two, as well as Disney Universe, have several sets of DLC I plan to get.

Games I've been replaying lately include Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario World, and Earthworm Jim.
Just won the Stanley Cup with the Sharks.

BAM.
I recently beat Dungeon Defenders, Tomb Raider 2013, Venus Hostage, and several other games... I'd have to say Tomb Raider was the coolest, the story was awesome Smile
I FINALLY beat Pokemon Black 2, what, 8 months after getting it?
Guh, I don't know what happened but I had zero motivation to play it--but I woouldn't let myself play X and Y without beating this!!

It picked up after the 4th gym, but eh. I really LOVED Humilau city, though. Reminds me of Pacifidlog town ♥ (and reminds me of how beautiful RSE remake in BW graphics would look ;~; )
In the last week, I played
-Skullgirls
-Pokémon Black
-Wii Sports
-Mega Man 10
-Super Mario Galaxy
What I've been playing lately
1. Kid Icarus: Uprising [3DS]. So long since I actually got the game, fiddled around with the controls for a bit, jumped into it for real, smiled at the dialogue, marveled at the soundtrack quality, bit the dust but jumped back up, wondered how badly the 4th wall's damaged at this point, finished it and asked myself why didn't I get this game earlier.

And I'm still jumping back into it again and again. I mean, hey, those last few Idols aren't gonna collect themselves, dontcha know.Tongue
So long story short, I liked it.

2. NEW Super Luigi U [WII U]. YEAR OF LUIGI REPRESENT, YO~
...Ahem. Surprisingly challenging, compared to the original game. I actually managed to complete it in relatively few days, but not without losing a truckload of 1-Ups in the process.

'Course, wait until you reach the later stages. Lots and lots of crud you have to watch out for, you make one mistake and it's a long way back. And before you know it, that 100-second time limit will give ya the proverbial u-boot.
Been playing Skullmonkeys, I'm up to World 5 and it's getting pretty difficult. It's nothing special, just your average platformer basically, but there are a couple of unique features and it's got Klaymen, so it's entertaining enough for me.
Also Cthulhu Saves the World. I don't play many turn-based RPGs other than Pokemon, but it's pretty fun. The random encounter limiting system doesn't make it too repetitive, and the humour's pretty great too.

I'm also slowly trying to 100% Super Meat Boy and Psychonauts.
FUCKIN BORDERLANDS 2 IS ON SALE, TEN BUCKS ON XBOX LIVE.

get dat shiz
I've been playing Luigi's Mansion 2, because my friend got it for free via some Nintendo event and wasn't interested in it himself.

I freaking love the game and I freaking hate the game.
Exploring these mansions is enjoyable, though sometimes end up pulling my hair out trying to find that one last gem, which appears to be available in only one specific mission, where I have to do something very cryptic, something I would have never, ever known without my last resort (I would have died without you, internet).
That aside, I was enjoying the pace of the game in the first few mansions. The missions in the second-to-last mansion were a little too long for my taste. It could've been justified if the game wasn't designed to have bite-sized chunks you can play through on the road or something, like many other Nintendo brand 3DS games.

And then there's the bosses. My biggest gripe with the game are the boss battles. The first boss is hard, the second almost too easy, the third way too long, the fourth very annoying when it comes to timing and the fifth is plain cheap (-40 HP in a single hit, wtf?). I haven't reached the final boss yet, because of this.
Oh, almost forgot to mention the Big Boo boss. Every boss, except for maybe the second, is designed to be pure torture rather than 'the final test'.

All-in-all, I enjoy the pace of the main game. It's mostly the boss fights that tend to fuck this experience up.
Mass Effect: competed
Mass Effect 2: playing now
Mass Effect 3: HNNNNNGH I CAN'T WAIT

This series is so fucking good

Majora's Mask
I'm playing Awesomenauts just like Viper. I am at the time of this writing at level 56 on my second prestige.
I never thought I'd get so obsessed with this game. one of my new favorite characters of all time is Leon Chameleon (who is the one in my new avatar) thanks to this game eheheh.
I also just read about the upcoming Awesomenaut, Admiral Swiggins, so I am awaiting his arrival too. I'm curious of what he'll bring to the game.
and another note: SKOLLDIR IS SO BROKEN ASGSDSFGHF
Beat Ty, don't know what to play next :p
Recently got Aqua Kitty on XBL, I'm loving it. It's got old school shootemup action, and the spritework is super solid and cute Smile

Also, the Chickening. You owe it to yourself to play the demo, or at the very least, watch the trailer.
Here, a sneak preview for you;
