2013, note the number 13, has been a mostly bad and unlucky year for me, had many asthmatic problems, hospital visits etc. The games released hasn't been very memorable either, but then again I didn't buy very many games. In January I bought and finished Ni no Kuni PS3, that was a great game but the story really dragged out the final thirty hours or so. Spent 80 hours with many sidequests so overall it was fun with a great soundtrack.
Then I got NSMBU which I finished 100%, but it felt just like the others... After that I finished Lego City Undercover with everything collected. Fun to explore that open world. Luigi's Mansion 2 was fun too, collected everything in the first mansion I think.
In the summer I got Pikmin 3, while the story was fun to follow I didn't really enjoy the stages... NSLU I finished but haven't got everything yet... Good thing they shaked up the controls/physics. Also got Game and Wario for my birthday, little game but it has a fun multiplayer game, the one you shoot blocks in. A little bit like curling.
In the fall of the year I got Pokemon X, really fun story but WAY too little post game content. Great 3D graphics, shame it isn't stereoscopic in the fields though. I was a little disappointed in The Wind Waker HD actually, I mean it is a great game but I feel it wasn't as good as the other 3D Zeldas. I didn't play it back in the day though. Rayman Legends had a lot of great stages, shame it released at the wrong time... The demo came out in December 2012! Music stages were some of the most fun sidescrolling I've ever played though!
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was really fun, best game of the year for me. Already completed it three times! The first I completed everything in, only has 29/50 streetpass challenges completed though. Fun dungeons. Super Mario 3D World, while better than 3D Land, wasn't what I wanted (Galaxy 3 or something else with 120 stars).
At the end of the year I finally finished Link's Awakening DX. Worst Zelda I've ever played, still somewhat fun though :P After that I played Oracle of Ages, before I beat the final, final boss in Seasons yesterday ;)
Bought God of War 3 and Metal Gear Rising for a real bargain a few weeks ago. Started GoW 3 a few hours ago, great start of the year! Waited too long to play it now, great it has really hold up some years.
Overall for 2013 in gaming, and also the year in general I would say 5/10... Hope 2014 goes better! Happy new year everyone.
Yep.
