MISSION COMPLETE

Debriefing: I finished Okamiden earlier today. Man, I love that series. This game wasn't nearly as innovative as the first one, though it was definitely just as epic. It really is essentially a portable version of the first game. I certainly don't want to see this series get milked to death, but I would not mind at all if they make another sequel, as the developers obviously wanted to, with all the hints they were dropping in that drawn-out conclusion!

So what's next for me? I honestly have no idea. I've had a GameStop gift card burning a hole in my pocket for months now. I could see myself picking up a couple used games over there. But I ought to revisit the original list and try to scratch something off of it before I add more to it. Time will tell. Really, I haven't been able to make much time for gaming as of late. Note that it took me two months to beat a game I only put 20 hours into. Right now I'm working and going to school. My final projects will be turned in next week, and then I'll be done for the summer. But my wife (who is a teacher) will obviously be home for the summer, and she deserves my attention too. (Duh!) I think I'll just keep putting time into Super Smash Bros. Brawl, trying to complete those last few challenges I never got around to. Then I'll take on some of those many virtual console downloads that are gathering virtual dust.

When we last saw our hero: Well, our hero is lost and confused. Is he scaling Dracula's castle, trying to lift a curse? Or is he exploring Princess Peach's castle, trying to collect power stars? Actually, all that and more. Our hero is somewhat of a multi-tasker. Let's all wait and see which task he completes first, shall we?
