I downloaded and beat DuckTales: Remastered, which was enjoyable, but I felt the bosses and the last bit were big spikes in difficulty.

Mass Effect 3

Finished Mass Effect 3 overnight, 1000/1000.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit.  There was some stir regarding the ending(s), but I think they were fine.

A good story has a beginning, middle and end.  There is a finality to the story which is nice, and won't be dragging out sequel ad infinitum, though you could find a story within that universe to follow, of course.

A Quarian/Geth RTS, a stealth/assassin game using a drell, running an inventory shop in a Facebook ap on the Citadel, or even CSEC a crime unit in "Citadel Noire".  Could be interesting, but EA and Bioware don't go back to the well, right?

100% on Pac Man Championship DX - my wife and I finished this in less than a day.  Not too challenging.

Skylanders

Got Skylanders with one of each elemental warrior for Father's Day for the girls and myself.

Got to 1000/1000 earlier this week.  Fun game, though the boss battles are a drag.

Amalur

Currently into Kingdoms of Amalur - 26/50 at the moment. Enjoyable light romp with an ARPG.

Long Time

I did 100% both Mass Effect 1 and 2, though I have yet to get "The Arrival" DLC for the second Mass Effect.

I have played through and gotten most of the achievements for Red Dead Redemption which was quite enjoyable.

Now into Nier (PS3) and Two Worlds 2 (360).

Mass Effect 1

Finally got to a stopping point with Fable 2 - had 61/66 trophies and figured that was about it.

I started Mass Effect early in the month and enjoyed my first playthrough of it.

Will try to get the Hardcore/Insanity awards.

Fable II

Been a while since I updated, I'll have to figure out what I've been through since then.

Currently into Fable II, 41/66 trophies.

Crackdown

Playing a game released in 2007 when it has a fairly rabid following with a sequel newly announced is always a bit of a challenge. The graphics are somewhat dated and the animations aren't the best.

Now, if I mention the disappearing gun whenever you hang on a ledge and then it reappears when you jump, you can't un-see it.

The pacing seems appropriate, lieutenants and generals and bosses get harder in each area.

The achievements, aside from the co-op full game completion seem reasonable, though I'm not going to be bothered to find all 800 orbs at this point in my life, nor finish every car and foot race.

Fung-Poo?

My oldest refers to the game as "Fung-Poo" Panda.

First Platinum

Managed to get a platinum in Prince of Persia, no great shakes, just a little dedication, I suppose.

DQ VIII & Prince of Persia

DQ VIII - Found the harp from the Mole Boss. PoP - 8 areas cleared, haven't faced the bosses of each area. Trying to get all the spheres first.

DQ VIII & Prince of Persia

Still muddling through DQ 8, made it to the cursed castle, had to come out to recharge and finally found Smiley Slime. Started PoP via Gamefly. Pretty good so far, took a bit to get used to the jump mechanic. Combat is okay, still eludes me a little.

Dragon Quest VIII - Pickham & Red

South to the cabin and Pickham, geared up slightly and went to Red. Went onto the dungeon for the Venus Tear and bit it. Re-loaded, rounded up two marks out of three (Smiley Slime, where are you?) and back to the cave. Went through directly (didn't find a map the second time) and beat the chest. Fought our way back out and back to town.

Dragon Quest VIII

Knocked the king of Ascantha out of his reverie. We headed south from Emma's grandmother's house along the coast and found the mountain with ruins atop it after stumbling into a dungeon. Brought the moon-man back to the king and voila!

Dragon Quest VIII

Well, tried Kingdom Hearts for a little while, not really my bag. We have started DQ8, which is going well. Passed through the first town and now through Alexandra. We've met Jessica, but haven't had her join the party yet.

Kingdom Hearts - Wonderland

Started up a save game with my daughter and we're playing Kingdom Hearts. We got through Traverse Town, but I've restarted to grind up a little and get more items before heading off to world one - Wonderland.
