I've not looked up prices, although I can't imagine them being any cheaper to go from the UK, regardless of who you fly with. I don't have the confidence to go abroad by myself at the moment anyway, or the necessary health. xD
I'm awful at fighting, puzzle, racing and sports games, so I avoid them like the plague...give me an insanely hard, grindy JRPG any day, ahaha.
Backloggery is so much fun! I have games from November of last year I've not played yet...going for platinum trophies means things take longer than they should, and I tend to focus on one game at a time, ahaha. Is Fantasy Life any good? I was considering getting it at some stage...
