  Skipping Paper Mario 3DS for Tales of the Abyss.

  You can find it for a reasonable price now, and it's not too rare (used to sell for £40 used on eBay, now you can find for £30 new).

  I've wanted to get it for a while, recently I played some Mario 3D Land and remembered how much I liked my 3DS, so I want something I can keep playing for weeks (maybe months).

  I read it's quite old school, but that won't bother me as Ihaven't played a JRPG in a while. I don't know man, there is something nice about playing a JRPG on a handheld.

  Halo 4? NOPE! Sh*tbox 360 strikes again...

  Man, I was (am?) hyped for Halo 4, but being mainly a PC gamer I hadn't played my 360 in months. So I turned it on today to get the new update and whatnot, ready for Halo 4 next week.

  The update freezes, unwilling to turn it off after 50 minutes I contact Xbox Support Chat, long story short: turning off frozen console during update didn't brick my console, however trying to update still gave me problems, in the end after trying a few useless troubleshooting steps I have no warranty left and she tried to sell me a $100 repair. I'm not feeling that. This is my second 360 already, a second console I paid full price for.

  So I can't connect online with updates being mandatory to connect to XBL, and Halo 4... not sure if I will get it day one without being able to access the majority of the content or put it to full use: Forge (why would I use it?), multiplayer duh, Spartan Ops... I didn't just want a 8 - 10 hour campaign, I wanted the full package.

  And searching online brings up things about modded console, my console is 100% clean, only possible thing could be that it uses the power supply from my older 360 but I don't know whether it does and that was never a problem updating before.

  Black Ops 2 PC this November, really? How disappointing. What a piece of sh*t console hardware.

  I'm sorry Vita, I won't be there at launch!

  So I've been hyping Vita, and it's a great piece of tech, but with the recent Steam sales it reminded me of all the games I still have yet to play, and the amazing games coming next year. So I have decided to hold out and NOT get a Vita at launch as it has no real killer apps for me, just a few good looking games I could probably enjoy.

  I am still excited for it and will probably get it next year, unless Nintendo announce Pokemon for 3DS before I buy Vita.
