The music was much better in BC than BF3 and BF4. I am surprised that this did not make the list. ;)

Ah, 'tis The 7th Guest - the almost-considered-classic game with its "intellectual" puzzles.

I didn't like the chess puzzles either, unlike everyone else. ;) Not because they were difficult, mind you, but because they were tedious.

I did like the cake one though. Like Jess, I ended up solving it on my first try without realizing what I was doing. ;)

I am in the same boat. The 3DS offers me more entertainment hours than all other consoles combined - under-a-roof or on-the-go. In fact, Nintendo released so many 3DS games in 2013 that my wallet had trouble keeping up!

My only gripe against the 3DS? Region locking! I ended up importing a Japanese 3DS just so I can play the "niche" titles that are not available in North America!

Oh my goodness. What an evil boy. ^^;;;

Sadly, Outside Xbox isn't as good as GameSpot. The charming crew of GameSpot UK - namely Seb, Johnny, Mark, and of course Cam - are just too awesome to ignore. I do miss Jane though for her beauty, personality and witty remarks. She and Seb were a perfect pair on Super Start/Select. ;)

I love these guys and gals! *hugs*

And yes, a moderate consumption of alcohol makes me a better gamer. Okay, maybe that isn't always true. The important thing is, it makes me feel like I am a better gamer. Well, a happy one, if nothing else. Especially when I am among friends. ^_-

Unless something drastically changes in the last part of the game, I am fairly certain that Princess Peach isn't in trouble in Super Mario 3D World. In fact, you can play as Princess Peach from the very beginning of the game.

Because in the end, it's really about the games, right? ^_-

Looks like it's high time I put in that pre-order for the 3DS XL-Zelda bundle...

I can't recall the last time a 3DS game got a 9 on GameSpot. It must be really awesome. ;)

I strongly dislike the F2P model.

While P2P->F2P games the major developers release are usually stable and feature-rich, they still have the tendency to slip into that periodic super-microtransactions mode where the players are nickle-and-dimed on everything. As for the F2P games released by smaller developers, many of them don't stay around for long and/or their customer service record becomes unsightly in a year's time, so any investment the players made is a gamble at best.

I'd honestly rather pay a subscription fee for access to everything, a consistent game experience, a more competitively-even playground, and a longer life cycle.
