I've tried a few demoes recently: DeathSpank, Mushroom Wars, Earthworm Jim HD, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for PS3, and R-Type Command, Patchwork Heroes, PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, Jak and Daxter: The Final Frontier for PSP. The only one that really made any impression on me was Scott Pilgrim. Totally reminiscent of the awesome, AWESOME!, NES classic, River City Ransom, with some Double Dragon/Final Fight elements too. I definitely have to check out the Scott Pilgrim books. (Canadian Manga FTW!)

Two nights ago, after 30+ hours of play, I was about to get my final achievement on Plants vs. Zombies. But, when I started the game, Steam automatically updated to the Game of the Year edition, adding another handful of achievements to go with it! Awesome. Even more replay value to an already awesomely-replayable game.

I checked out the ultra-secret room in Batman: Arkham Asylum, hidden away in Quincy Sharpe's office. That was pretty sneaky of Rocksteady, and interesting to know that they had plans for the sequel all along. I wonder: if Arkham Asylum had sold poorly and no sequel was planned, would Rocksteady have continued to keep the ultra-secret room secret?

A few years after release, the one-of-the-best-games-of-all-time-ever-ever-EVER, Shadow of the Colossus, gets reviewed on Zero Punctuation.
