It's been a while since I've updated the old GOTGO list. I'm deep into Valkyria Chronicles now and I'm really enjoying the game. It's quircky in the "only in Japan" kind of way but at the same time it's challenging without being overly complicated. I'm getting to some more challenging levels now, the early chapters were frankly a bit too easy, and I'm finding that I'm replaying certain levels a few times before I beat them. I haven't had anybody die yet, I'm going to try to make it through without any losses, hopefully there's a decent payoff.

Legacy of Ys was put on the backburner when GTA: Chinatown Wars game into my life, which is really no loss as I really haven't played much of Ys (yet). Chinatown Wars is an incredible game, in some ways it's better than its big brother on the consoles. The only issue that I'm sure is going to come up for me is that one level - that I just won't be able to pass after trying it over and over and over again to the point of frustration. I'm not as young as I used to be... in any case I'm hoping against hope that this becomes the first GTA game that I ever finish! GTA is similar to the Final Fantasy series for me, I have every game but didn't finish any until FFIV and FFV on the DS. I'm looking forward to the same experience with GTA: CW.
