For me, 2013 was a year where I picked back up in my gaming. Looking back, I spent way more time playing video games than I had in the last several years, and began following some gaming publications and podcasts. Top 5 These are my top 5 favorite games from 2013. 5. Beyond: Two Souls (Playstation 3) Beyond: Two Souls surprised me with how good the visuals were. It had some of the best, realistic-looking humans I’ve ever seen in a game.

I’ve always been a fan of Nintendo. I’ve been a Nintendo fan since I got a hold of my first NES back in 1988 and bought a copy of Super Mario Bros 2. Although I have several other gaming systems as well, my preference has always been for Nintendo. Anyways, I went down to the video store today, and rented a copy of Mario Kart: Double Dash for my GameCube. I stuck the disc in, and powered up the system. After an unusually long pause, the system went into setup mode, which is something is only does when the lid is open, or there is no game disc.

During my module on After Effects, I ended up playing ALOT of Zelda: Wind Waker. Right now, I’m in “Publication and Design”, and I haven’t really had alot of time to play. At this point, I just have to find the rest of the heart pieces, find the TriForce maps so I can find the shards, and then go beat the crap outta Ganon. I beat Final Fantasy Tactics a few weeks ago. I hate Delita. Even though he’s supposed to be your best friend, don’t trust him.

I went down to GameStop to pick up my pre-ordered copy of “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” last night. I’d already been playing the GameCube version of “Ocarina of Time” for the last month or so, and love it! Anyways, I started playing it, and the game is fantastic. It looks like you’re playing a cartoon… smoothe as all-heck. At first, I thought it wouldn’t be as challenging as Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, but so far it has turned out to be a fantastic game.
