What games or systems have you gotten recently that overwhelmed you with excitement and engulfed your life?

For me, I finally got a 2DS and Pokemon X about a week ago so playing it is basically all I've been doing.

Obviously Pokemon X. It was a Christmas gift for myself. Can't wait to get my 3DS sometime next week.

I also can't wait to buy NASCAR The Game: Inside Line for the Xbox 360 because it's the game I always wanted to buy for a long while now.

I guess it would have to be Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I didn't get it when everyone else got it so now I'm playing it when most people have moved on. But I'm still really enjoying it a lot and I hope to do so for a long time now that I finally have my hands on it.

I know that after Grand Theft Auto V came out earlier this year, I spent something like 50 hours playing it over the first week and a half, which would be about 5 hours a day. And I know there was a day or two I didn't even play in that timeframe because of work, so that number would be even higher.

The other game would be Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which I've spent 250 hours+ playing since it came out last June. I've played almost every single day that I've had it (other than a 3-4 day pause after my file corrupted), and I'll probably still be for the forseeable future.

Definitely my Wii U(Wind Waker bundle! :D). Considering the way I bought it, I'm pretty excited to have it.

Getting Pokemon Y was also another moment of excitement. I believe I have around 350+ total hours in it by now.

And more recently, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which was a Christmas gift I got for myself. After beating it yesterday, I can honestly say this may be my new favorite Zelda game. Absolutely perfect.

Left 4 Dead 2, I spent numerous hours on it when I first got it. I kept watching zombie movies and at the end of all that, you'rebound to want to kill zombies so this game is perfect for me xD

Also, when I first bought my 3DS, Im always checking out the 3DS section everytime I go into EB Games :)

I've gotten the new Adventure Time game (Adventure Time : Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know), and instantly fell in love with it after playing. Didn't think that I would like it when I looked at the back-cover, but I was proved wrong. Haha. If you're a fan of the Adventure Time series, then you should definitely give this game a try.

I'm actually kind of bored of Y. I haven't touched it in three days or so, and only then to do a little EV training for my Blastoise, since I tell myself I'm still working on my team.

Lately I've been occupied by Steam. Until December 28, I didn't have anything but a couple demos and TF2, but on the 28th and 2nd, I bought $70 worth of games in total, which, because of the massive sale, came out to 20 games or so.

This wasn't exactly recent, but Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. I got it in the Summer of last year. Honestly, I never thought that I'd ever own a Phoenix Wright games. I'd played them all through AAI 2-4 years before, and when I had, it'd always been on a flashcart. Finding AA titles was difficult, but I loved the series so much, I knew that I needed to buy one, so when I finally got T&T recently, which is my favorite of the games, it was really exciting, even though I'd already played the game a few times.

Grand Theft Auto V. The hype for it was unbelievable, coming from a guy who likes the GTA series as a whole, it was a must buy for me. All my friends had it, the game's trailers were amazing, and it was from among the best franchises ever. HAD TO GET IT.


....took me till January, but *shrug* whatever. :p

Pokemon Y.

It's the first game in a long time that...

  • made me get up to go to Target when it opened just to get. With 4 hours of sleep.
  • made me super antsy for prior to release.
  • was my weekend. I spent my entire weekend playing that game until the end. Made trips out minimal.
  • deeply explored the post-game of in attempt to see all there is to see (usually it's I beat the game and done. Maybe an NG+ if there is one.)
  • wanted to play through again immediately after I beat it.

Same here with Pokemon X/Y. I thought it'd be worth waiting for a price drop or a third version, but I bit the bullet and bought Y. I now have over 400 hours of gameplay recorded. I bought X to clone (already had spare 3DS) and change my main game, and I now have 160 hours of gameplay in X as well.

As for how much I spent on a video game... I bought PS Vita, 32GB memory card, and like 4 games for about $500 total last year with all the newfound money I had from scholarships. Now I wouldn't do that, but back then I really wanted a Vita so I did some impulse buying.

Normally when I get any Call of Duty game when it gets released, I get really overjoyed, play it consistently and end up ranking in the top 100. Then after a month, I grow incredibly bored and fizzle away from it completely. Yeah, I need to stop wasting my money on those repetitive games.

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward for me. Was so looking forward to it after playing 999. After some searching, I couldn't find a physical copy and ended up having to download it from the eShop.

Also, I'll be back here when Pokemon Bank comes out....
