That was a good game, lots of shiny explosions, entertaining writing, I wish it had gotten another sequel. I didn't like it as much as the first one; some of the side quest/collection missions were a bit too long and it laced the newgame+ perks the first one had.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

I think this is about my fifth playthrough of this game. Besides having the arcs which makes certain characters unplayable for a good bit of the game, everything else is done really well in this game.

Ditto. I recently restarted this game, too, and SPOILER: Highlight text to read: I'm impatiently rushing through the first few chapters to get to the Greil Mercenaries.

FYI, if you train Nolan and Micaiah, they can actually become useful, so I didn't really rush through the first chapters of the game. SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Yes, I actually trained Micaiah :XD: I'm currently on the chapter where you team up with the apostle to attack Begnion. My current team consists of Ike, Titania, Soren, Rolf, Nephenee, and Kieran.

For next time, just remember that Micaiah can't actually do anything but finish off units. Level her up that way (FYI, finishing off bosses with her is a very GOOD idea). Also, give her most of your exp at the base to level her up even faster. As long as you hit 20 before you promote you should be fine; however, once you get Daein again, you need to again give her enough exp to hit level 8 before she truly becomes useful where she dodges almost every hit. Lastly, since she is a slow unit, you want to give her the skill Adept so then she can double hit sometimes.

Right now, I'm putting Fire Emblem on pause for a few days to do another run (probably at least my 15th) of Pokemon LeafGreen/FireRed with my brother.

I WANT to be playing Bioshock 2 and then Infinite right now along with Skyrim Legendary edition; recently picked up the Bioshock Triple pack and Skyrim for $15 and $20 respectively, not to mention The Valve Complete Pack or whatever it was called for $50. Unfortunately I ordered my PC parts about four days ago, so looks like I'll be waiting on newegg for a while thanks to the high demand of Cyber Week. I have all this gaming potential but no PC to play on.

Currently playing Master of the Wind. I just started this, and I will say being a free indie game, I am very impressed with the quality of this work.

Also playing Etrian Odyssey Untold and Fire Emblem Awakening (Lunatic mode). Lunatic mode is killing me right now :P Luckily I chose casual though, so if someone other than Frederick gets knocked out, I'll still be okay as I'll get them back at the end of the chapter.

Just beat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the umpteenth time. Now, because I can't get enough of OoT, I've started Master Quest, since I've always been curious about the differences but never got around to it before. So far, I haven't noticed much different except the random color changes :P But I've only just gotten to the Deku Tree, so I'm not very far yet.

Lost in Shadow, I'm really enjoying the puzzles, though it's hard to play because it's cold in the basement and my fingers get numb. :P

LOZ: Link's Awakening and Pokemon Y. I've actually gotten stuck in Pokemon Y a couple of times because it's so different compared to past pokemon games. The 3d environments throw me off a bit. Link's Awakening has to be my favorite zelda game. The combat and puzzles are so good and the game makes you work for the exploration and also rewards you for it.

LoZ: The Wind Waker HD. I'm trying to do the earth temple, but the game glitched and I lost one of the keys to open a door. Needless to say I rage quit for the night. I'm hoping that reloading my last save will solve the problem.

Fate: The Traitor Soul. I forgot how addictive this game is, and now I'm mad at myself for buying it. I played it for hours yesterday, wasting my life away. But it was fun.

Replaying Chrono Cross: This was a very well done game. My only complaint is that the story is quite far removed from the actual game, it feels like you are just roaming around aimlessly most of the time.

Rune Factory 4: So far, this seems to be a good game. I haven't played any of this series since the original installment. I can see many improvements on the original game, however, there are a few things like crafting which I wish they would have let be.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again.
Although I fell in love with turn-based strategy games at Fire Emblem, I was still a bit skeptical about the foreign gameplay of this one. However, I was proved wrong, and it's really pretty addictive and fun. The storyline and characters are also pretty entertaining (thus far), so we'll see where this one goes. My only complaint is the "remove" factor.
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: I'm annoyed that my favorite character can only be in each chapter for 5 turns.

Over Christmas break, I played a wonderful little game called Little Inferno, which is basically just a fireplace where you can buy all kinds of things to burn. Delightfully dark humor, burning things to get fun combos...what more could you want? Well, Little Inferno delivered way more than I was expecting, with a shockingly deep storyline, of all things. It really made me think and read way too much into it XD I love games that do that to me :lol:
