The AC3 news finally got me to put my Suikoden series playthrough on hold and finally bust out AC: Revelations, which has turned out to be a surprisingly better than I thought it would be. Unlike Brotherhood, Revelations actually doesn't feel like it could have been a DLC patch for ACII with quite a few changes to gameplay and the interface. Now, I do kind of wish the game didn't keep throwing the new bomb mechanic in my face constantly, but what can you do?

On handhelds, I'm doing a playthrough of Xenogears, cause I haven't played the game in years, and it's still as good as I remembered. Just getting ready to leave the Blackmoon Forest. I'm of course playing this to get me ready for Xenoblade Chronicles which is probably the first game since Catherine, that I've been eagerly anticipating to play and will probably actually be played on day one of purchase instead of being tossed into "the pile".
