Game 12 - Mega Man 4 (PS2) - 6 hours

Another Mega Man game down, I've now beaten 2, 3 4 and 6. It's pretty much the same as any other Mega Man game, with the addition of the charge shot. That's for better or for worse though, it still plays really well and is a lot of fun, but it seems like it's really starting to get same-y with these later releases. And the soundtrack wasn't as good as the other games either. Overall though, it was a good game.

Take a break and play something else.  Come back the Mega Man games later.  4,5, and 6 are good games.  The formula doesn't change though.

28- Retro Game Challenge(DS)- Completed pretty much I originally started this game last year, but got sidetracked halfway through the challenges. I came back to it this week and finally completed it. It's defenitely a nice and enjoyable title with 8 mini retro styled games with challenges, although they vary greatly in quality with the last two games, Gauda Quest and Robot Haggleman 3 were the best overall. The final challenge does take a long time, but I glad its done.  7.5/10
29- Etrian Odyssey Untold (3DS)- 3 hrs in at B5F- Decided to play through the story mode of this one, even though the classic option is better for creating a party.  Looks like there's a lot of variety in materials, item crafting, sidequests, skill trees and enemies (espeically FOE's). I made it to the first major boss, but I think I'm gonna have to grind more before taking it on again.
30. Dracula X Chronicles ( PSP)- Decided to go through this remake first so I can play Rondo of Blood. So far, this remake looks ok for a psp game, but it feels a bit hard to manuever Ritcher through tight situations with the d pad.

31. Castlevania: Potrait of Ruin (DS)- Completed The second in the DS Metroidvania trilogy. It looks like the main gimmick of this one is the dual protgainsts, although Johnathan is gonna be used for a majority of the game. Bosses seem too easy so far like Dawn of Sorrow, so I hope the difficulty picks up at some point.

32. Super Monkey Ball Touch+Roll (DS)- Wow Sega. This is the equivalent of the Bannana Blitz on the Wii, except the story mode is disjointed, you are not forced to use the stylus, and everything looks kinda ugly.  The difficulty is also all over the place with the floors they picked.

7) Project Zero (Fatal Frame) 3 (PS2)

The quality is right up there with the first two games, did enjoy it very much. However, the home 'hub', like the one in Silent Hill 4, did give the game a stop-start kind of feeling which wasn't so hot, having 3 playable characters also worked better as a plot device than a gameplay one. So, pretty much business as usual, just with some jittery "Quick, we need to change it up!!" messing from the devs.

20 - Overatch (PC) - 10 Hours PLAYING - It's basically everything I expected and wanted.  Very solid, team based, shooter.  It's a lot of fun and I like that I enjoy playing so many different characters, even ones I don't usually expect I would like.

As part of my "becoming a game designer" master plan, I'm also playing a bunch of smartphone games recently. It's always nice to see a wide variety of games, and great smartphone ones usually have to be very simple to succeed.Playing and understanding how and what in their simplicity makes them appealing is a great learning tool  :)

So I added a part for smartphone games in my list! So far I've discovered and learned so many things already.

I'm a little behind schedule now for the 52 game challenge, having only just finished my 19th game of the year today (Pokémon Omega Ruby). It's hard to believe that the year will be half over already in a little over a month. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up some stuff I've been in the middle of and catch up to the challenge. As for Pokémon, it was great. :D I've always loved the remakes, and OR was no exception. This was also the first of the 3DS Pokémon games I've played and it was pretty cool seeing 3D Pokémon battles on a handheld. Now, what to play next?

28. Dino Crisis 2 [PS1C]: 4/5, ~5 hours
Man, this is such a good game. Completely different than the first Dino Crisis (and better, in my opinion) and just super fun to play.

I decided to take the plunge and buy the Mega Man Legacy Collection on the 3DS. During downtime over the weekend, I knocked out Mega Man and Mega Man 2.
