All in all, it was a good year for me in gaming. I wish I had completed more games--especially AC: Brotherhood and Arkham City--but all in all I think I did pretty well, considering my crazy schedule of the last few months. In 2015, I hope to play more games, get more trophies, and have even more fun than 2014. Off we go!

All Star Platinum #40

I just completed Arcade Mode on PlayStation All Stars Battle Royal with Spike, finishing the last bronze trophy and nailing my 40th platinum to the wall. Overall, as I've written, fighting games aren't really my thing, but this one was better than most--probably because it is pretty simple to learn and actually was fun. It isn't a perfect game, though. The arcade in particular got a bit repetitive, especially with the characters that either seem weaker or are harder to master. My least favorite characters were Parappa, Nariko and Sly Cooper, mostly because their regular attacks are weak and their
Super attacks are almost useless. My favorite characters were Radec, Spike, and Dante. Kratos is good too.

The platinum is fairly easy and mostly fun. I have to do it all over again for the PS3, too! All right!
