Still cold, still snowing, but spring draws ever near. And with it, Atlus season. For a small, niche publisher they sure have been busy. Spent a little bit of time this month in Photoshop whipping up a few images to spruce the blog up. I might tweak them a little, but I'm happy with the way they turned out.

Woodley Village - Planet Lemuris
Been looking forward to this for awhile and it hasn't disappointed yet. Good old-school action JRPG with a fresh coat of HD paint. Just the way I like them. A completionist's nightmare though, I'll be playing this long after I've beaten it. (20/1000)
Next goal is to climb Mt. Vackel and reach Undelwalt. But first a ton of side quests, including The Fallen who absolutely destroyed me on my 1st attempt. Will likely become an off-and-on title as I grind while focusing on Vesperia and Star Ocean 4.(320/1000)
The insane run continues. Nexus is clear and we are heading back down to the conclusion. It's been a rough playthrough, but I know we can do it. (435/1175)
Completed Knothole Island DLC. Some interesting quests, and some nice new items. Much like last month's Fallout 3 DLC it kept me busy for a few mornings, though I do wonder if it was worth the price of admission. (1070/1100)
Working on the last set of achievements. Run 3 (Speed-Run 2) has begun. Approaching the desert, still in early Act 2. (860/1000)
Still trying to decide what I think of this one. A by-the-books hack-n-slash dungeon crawler, it lacks a cohesive story. Combat is alright, but does little to stand out from other games in the genre.

Agrabah (2nd trip)
Sora Level 37 - 24:27
I knew things were going a little to easy. The difficulty sure jumped a few notches for the return trip to all the worlds. Still enjoying it though. I expect to have it wrapped up this month unless Vesperia/SO4 keep my PS3 off.
Chapter 4 - Meena and Maya and the Makabala Mystery
Battle Party Level 1 in Laissez Fayre - 008:23
The last of the character introduction chapters begin. Didn't get to it in January.

Castlevania has never been an easy game and even "Metroid-vania" games require significant effort, timing, and skill to complete despite the addition of XP, save points, etc. Order of Ecclesia has given me the most difficulty of any portable Castlevania since the early GBA titles. Despite the difficulty, I still had a blast with it. Each death spurring me harder towards the next save. While the game would eventually lead to Dracula's Castle, a good chunk of the game took place in different outdoor areas. A pleasant change of pace. I score it 8.9 out of 10.
