    Note: Bought as Part of Indie Humble Bundle 6. Played the first level and it seemed fun. Need to play more.

    Note: Too much arcade in my space combat. At least it was cheap.

    Note: Story was nonsense (expected). Would have benefited from a more focused storyline.

    Note: Brutal difficulty encouraged me to re-load the same 5-minute encounter 20 times before I gave up and turned the game off forever. Lacked polish.

    Note: I was pretty sure I wouldn't like this game, but the premise seemed too good to not check out. Gameplay was dense and unexciting.

    Note: Decent platforming mechanics and pretty visuals. Didn't grab me like it seemed to do for everyone else.

    Note: Game was too short and too similar to previous games. It was still fun enough for me to stick through to the end, which is more I can say for a lot of games.

    Note: Got for free as part of PS+. Other than slow load times, seems like a decent handheld racer. I'd need to play more to give it a fair rating.

    Note: I spent money to buy addons for a free game because they were on sale. I dont even particularly like flight sims. Lapse of judgement caused by Steam sales.

    Note: Controls were finniky, but that's the only bad thing I can say about this game. Next time I boot up my 3DS, it'll probably be to finish this game.

    Note: This game had promise, but the skill progression was either too slow or too shallow and I lost interest pretty quickly. There's still a decent chance I'll get in a mood and boot this game back up.

    Note: If this game was $40 and had a normal skill progression speed, I probably would have liked it a lot. I also probably would not have bought it. Catch 22 of a F2P.

    Note: I wanted to go back in and get the rest of those cubes, but my 360 likes to freeze up on me when I'm really enjoying a game. This game was interesting, but I wouldn't say I had a good deal of "fun" while I was playing it. Maybe I just don't understand it.

    Note: This game is fun. I want to keep playing it. Whenever I have some free time, I totally think "today's the day I put some more time into Dragon's Dogma..." And then I do something else. One day!

    Note: The 3DS system seller for me. The core campaign was enjoyable and I had fun with some of the dark notes. I could see myself playing more of this.

    Note: Put 100+ hours into Diablo 3 and I'm still enjoying it. Put 2 hours into this and have no intention of playing it again. Lacks the polish and intensity of its rival in every aspect.

    Note: Any time the game strayed from the main "enter this building and kill everyone" formula, it suffered. Other than the boss battles and stealth sequences, this game was pretty good, if not a little light. Awesome soundtrack.

    Note: For some reason I consistently buy and am disappointed by harvest moon games. Considering I played this one for about 90 minutes before I started playing something else, this entry isn't promising.

    Note: Considering I dont play the new CoD every year (last one was MW2), I had a great time with this one. The single player campaign was the perfect length, and I played pretty much the whole thing on the Wii U gamepad. I havent dug into zombies or multiplayer, and I dont know if I will, but I had a great time with what I played.<br>

    (EDIT:) I re-bought this game for PC because I'd never play a competitive multi-player game on a console. I've already dug into getting all of the challenges in the campaign and I'm very much enjoying the team-deathmatch and gun game modes.

    Note: This game may be a little too punishing. When I died in Dark Souls, I jumped back in to defeat whatever killed me. When I die in ZombiU, I turn the game off.

    Note: All of the updates from the original version are positive changes to make the game more accessible and enjoyable. I've enjoyed the time I spent with Persona 3 and 4 on the PS2/PSP, but this may be the first Persona experience I actually complete.
