Pandora's Tower Review
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

Gamers continually complain about the lack of innovation from publishers and developers, but in this tough economy, it would seem that sequels and remakes are their bread and butter. Are there not enough new IPs?

In 1985 Nintendo started a revolution when it...
Final Fantasy 12 and Far Cry 2. I picked up FC2 without much expectation, but holy **** this game is awesome. And as for FF12, I just had this inexplicable urge to play it in the middle of the night. I have no idea how that happened.
Still working on New Vegas DLC. Dead Money was more pain in the ass than fun, but I rather enjoyed Honest Hearts. It had pretty large new area to explore, a nice little side story involving a survivor of the nuclear war, and a few nice unique weapons to play around with. No new enemies though (aside from the enemy tribe, which are really just another variety of gang). Still, it had more than enough content to keep me occupied for a week. Not bad for ten bucks. I'm just about to start Old World Blues, which so far has a nice twisted sense of humor.
Got my gaming PC roaring and ready to go, just going through my Steam Library, picking and choosing what I want to do. Right now, Super MNC and TF2. Need to go through all of HL2 in [epic voice] FULL HD!! [/epic voice]. So many games, so little time.
Last night i got drunk and played Pokemon stadium, sonic & knuckles and the Beatles rock band with friends. who can honestly say they had a better night?
In case anyone's interested: remember the Humble Bundle Keri reported on last week? It included Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery, Limbo, Psychonauts, Amnesia Dark Descent and if you paid more than the average "donation" you also got Bastion. This includes their respective OSTs. Turns out they've added three more games. By paying more than the average price not only do you get Bastion but also Lone Survivor, Braid and Super Meat Boy. Best part, those who bought the bundle before those extra three games were added got them for free.
Diablo 3, and possibly some Dead Space 1. Kinda psyched about Dead Space 3 after reading the preview of it here, and want to replay the other two...but I was thinking maybe i should wait until it is closer to its release date. Not sure. :(
Tried Child of Eden and Blazblue and couldn't get into either. Thankfully I picked them up really cheap so I should nearly break even on trade in. I'll probably start Rage tonight.
