  Injustice: Which version do I get??

  So Injustice: Gods Among Us is a game I am certainly interested in purchasing.  However, I have a bit of a dilemma: I don't know if I should get it for PS3 or Wii U!  The PS3 version will likely have a bigger online community and trophies, but the Wii U version allows you to play the game entirely on the GamePad, which is awesome.  Which version do I buy??  Gah!

  Anyone have it yet?  And if so, which system?

  Recently finished: BioShock Infinite and Fire Emblem: Awakening (no spoilers!)

  I know, I haven't blogged in a while 

  But I've still been here, checking out reviews and news every day.  I've just been very busy lately.  But I've still found time to get some gaming in!  The last month my two main games have been BioShock Infinite and Fire Emblem: Awakening.  I can safely say these are two of the best games I've played in quite some time.

  BioShock Infinite is just phenomenal.  The best console game I've played since Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and honestly, one of the best games I've played in the past five years even.  The story is extraordinary and the gameplay is frantic and fun.  And the ending, oh man the ending, was incredible and unexpected.  I really can't go too in depth about this game since I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who has yet to play it!  BioShock Infinite is definitely one of those rare games that will stick with me long after I've played it, and I'm certainly planning on playing this sucker multiple times.  Going to be one of those timeless games that I never get sick of playing.

  Score: 10

   

  Fire Emblem: Awakening is of course the latest game in one of my favorite series.  After the somewhat disappointing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (which I still liked, but certainly my least favorite in the series) Fire Emblem: Awakening just blew me out of the water.  The gameplay enhances an already proven formula with awesome additions like pairing up your units to fight together and additional maps and challenges by use of DLC.  The story is fantastic, maybe the best in the series, and the characters are as lovable as ever.  I nearly made it through the game without losing a character (which I've never been able to accomplish in a FE game), but I lost one on the second to last level!  Anyway, great game, as expected of the FE series.  Definitely looking forward to experiencing the DLC now that I've completed the main campaign.

  Score: 9 

   

  My plan is to catch up on some games I've missed starting in the summer.  Going to try to pick up Tomb Raider, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and The Last of Us (when it comes out in June) all in the next couple of months.

  Make sure to comment and let me know what you folks have been up to lately!  It's been a while and I want to see what's going on!  Later!

  Wii U First Impressions!

  It's awesome.

  Got my Wii U late this morning and so far it's even better than I imagined. First of all, the GamePad is just fantastic. It's lighter than I expected, more comfortable than I expected, and the screen looks great. The system itself is bigger and heavier than I expected as well. Great, quality build for the system itself.

  Onto the games quick. So far I have only played Nintendo Land, and it's a great pack-in game. There is a lot of depth, surprising difficulty, a TON of unlockable treasures and in-game achievements, and it's just a blast. It really shows off what the system can do.

  The other game I got was New Super Mario Bros. U, but I haven't played it yet. Saving it for Thanksgiving break so my brothers and I can play the whole game together over the holiday.

  In my brief experience with the Wii U, I can so far say it has lived up to the hype. I look forward to enjoying this system more!!!

  Also, if you have a Wii U, feel free to add me as a friend!!!
