Managed to clear up enough space on my Wii U to get Fatal Frame on there, so gonna give it a demo, see if I like it or not.  It's not sounding great, but it mostly depends on how the gamepad functionality works.

You did know you can use SD cards for more memory on Wii U, right?

Sure, but I'd have to buy one.  I'm just wanting to demo it.

I never got that to work. USB flash Drive yes but not the SD card in the Card slot

Played through the Fatal Frame 5 trial and I was actually liking it.  It has a very creepy atmosphere and it can get intense in fights.  I see some of the mechanics that were talked about in reviews that would make the game feel abit clunky and repetitive, such as every time you pick up something, a ghost might possibly grab and damage you if you aren't quick enough to let go of the item grab button.  The movement is also abit rough.  It's very slow and doesn't feel the best, such as figuring out the proper motion for the quick turn.  Also the characters so far seem unnecessarily stiff, emotion wise.  A few points in the early game as weird stuff is happening, the girls just sorta vacantly stare on with a hint of fear.  It makes it odd, because they regularly turn those cutscene moments back to the girl who continues to make the same face despite seeing something coming at her.  They probably could've spent a little more time animating their faces, but that's just a nitpick for me.

While this seemed good to me, I'm hearing that it gets repetitive and formulaic later on which is why it is getting the low scores that it is, so keep that in mind.  Not sure if I'll get it or not though as my budget is abit tight at the moment.

I've been playing Final Fantasy X on Ps3. Anyone think it's worth it to get the PS4 version as well?

Fired up Back to the Future: the Game on pc last night after watching all three films on Bttf Day (Wednesday).  Not a bad game so far! Episode 1 felt pretty short, but the voices are pretty great, imo.

I say Yes, because I love FFX.

Isn't the PS4 version basically just a port of the already improved PS3 version? Looking at this video, it really doesn't look like they did too much else to it other than it might slightly run better.

Probably good with just the PS3 version.

I think the major thing is a bit of a graphics upgrade still and the option to have the original soundtrack (not everyone liked the new remix for the HD version).  A big PS4 issue prior to a patch was a RNG bug and a soundtrack continuity bug, but thankfully it's been fixed.

Started playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend (PSP). So far I'm really liking the selection of music in this one. :)

Fantastic game and the best reason to own a GameCube!

The first time I stepped into Phaendra Drifts (the snow area), I was blown away by the combination of graphics, perfect music, and atmosphere.

But the last part where your backtracking around the planet to find the pieces of the circle-looking device is annoying.

Yeah, I really liked it from what I played! I just had other games going at the time, and Prime was more dense than I thought it would be with all the lore and back stories, so I put it down until I could give it some full attention.

I plan to pick this up when it gets a good half off sale.  I heard it's fairly short and I can't float the 50 bucks to this when I'd rather save it for something else I could get more time out of.
