Sure, I get the big blockbusters, but not the smaller, often more entertaining, bits of awesomeness that float by.

This reco comes from Jean Snow’s Game blog. Cats got the right idea: name a game, and why I should play it. Hasn’t been wrong yet.

Anyway, he passed this piece on and I thought should pass it through. It’s basically eaten up my last two days and I haven’t even finished it yet.

Puzzle platform with an RPG-style setting. So you get the puzzles, you get the jumping and you get a light ‘tweak my characters’ hint, without getting all min-max on you. right up my alley these days.

Right now it’s only $9.99 on PSN, which is my choice right now, but also available on Steam. Check it out.

It’s been a short road so far, but since the partner in crime I had with the latest escapade into Azeroth (and Outlands) has called it quits, I realized that I really just, really preferred the druid playstyle. Not far to go, and being in a non-hardcore guild is a great plan. As much as I’d like to be dropping into Icecrown Citadel when it hits, I’d rather just have fun. Not having fun is what drove me from the game. The relaxed atmosphere is still a bit of an adjustment for me, but hey, whatever.

However, there’s a poopload of new games coming down the pipeline for consoles that I just won’t be passing up. Nothing can stop me from that. Seriously, now.

Amazon just emailed me to tell me my copy of Dragon Age: Origins shipped, so I’m looking forward to that hitting my 360 a few times over the next couple of weeks.

After that, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is on pre-order from Amazon as well, as I’m far, far too lazy to even care about picking it up at the store on release day. I’d rather way a few days for it to come direct to my mailbox after the servers get slammed. I’ve got other things on my mind anyway.

Plus, even before that, and I think I’m anticipating it far more, is Left4Dead 2. I need some mayhem zombie-shooting and for some reason I skipped out on the first release, despite having a solid feeling about it, especially after the reviews. Going to pick up a used copy for $10 in any case.

Also, looking forward to Assassin’s Creed II. I’m a fan of the 3d puzzle action thing that it’s got going on, and it will be a good break from anything else, perhaps.

Ah, the holiday season is insane. Too many game releases. And all sequels. What’s up with that?

As you can well see, we’ve shifted around some look and feel here at controllercode.

Not only does this mean a more regular post schedule again, with the upgrade to a new WordPress, it should also mean better usability around the site. Maybe more for the editors, mostly, but you know, it’s kind of good for everyone.
