Sometimes I find myself wondering when we will 'run out of good music' to look up and offer our thoughts on. But then I play something (old or new) and almost inevitably find something that holds my interest every few games. After my last selection was so RPG-heavy, I decided to go in a decidedly non-RPG direction this time.

Kid Icarus Uprising - 3DS Review
This review is two things. For one - I am trying something slightly different with it and secondly? This review is... way overdue. I picked up Kid Icarus Uprising as an Amazon pre-order, which came with the 3D classic Kid Icarus download code. The game also came in a larger box than most 3DS titles because it included a stand. Many times I pick up a game and just do not get around to playing it for a while - which can lead to reviews that come along much later in the process.
That is not the case here however. Kid Icarus Uprising got played that night by my son, and the next day by me. In truth, it was probably the most played 3DS game for both of us in 2012, which was why it was among my game of the year candidates.

Until these last couple of weeks, I have never really done many 'list' or 'top game' posts. That being said, I have actually enjoyed making these and looking back at my 'year in gaming', so to speak. It put me in a very reflective state (including the realization that this blog is over 3 years old now. I missed its birthday completely - but I got things started on 11/8/2009).
There are a lot of titles from this year I have not yet had a chance to play or play as extensively as I would have liked, and like my reviews these are simply a matter of preference. Halo 4 and Black Ops II are examples of games I will likely wind up playing next year. Guild Wars 2 has been awesome, but I have not had enough time with it to feel comfortable putting it in my top five.
I could not pick out a favorite single title from this year, so I will just leave it to a list with no order of preference to it. I picked only games released in 2012 and not ones that were excellent, but released previously and not played by me until 2012 (Skyrim for example).

That's a pretty long subject line for this post, isn't it? Well, I kept pretty busy this weekend in general. I guess I'll start with the topic I've already conversed about a dozen times at work this morning, but there was a beta run of a little title called Diablo III. Maybe you're heard of it?

A handful of general thoughts coming out of the Easter weekend. For starters, I hope you had an excellent weekend, whether you celebrated the holiday or not. My kids? Properly showered with sugar after participating in a plastic egg hunt.
Next up - I've seen a couple of sites now stating that the Wii U will release at a $300 price point. Opinions on that price point have been all over the map, with references to the Wii and 3DS being at $250 initially.
