A sudden hype for Skyward Sword.

Q4:
Playing Layton and the Last Specter, GOTY 2011 so far.
Playing Chaos Rings Omega, actually, a great RPG.
Playing Skyward Sword, only 2-3 hours, exams got in the way.
My sister got a 3DS with crap games.

Grade:
B+ (DS was actually the best platform this year)



If you listen to reviews and fanboys everything is so great. If you're not blind you'll see that 2011 was full of mediocrity. The best games were just good with glaring flaws that held them back.
