Was going to upload of photo for this post but I am unable to, an X with an error message shows up. Anyway, today marks my 2nd year with a Vita. One of the best acquisitions I have made in recent memory.

#13 Game beaten in 2023 is: Wild 9. Demon's Souls is going to take months to beat so I'll be playing other games as well, shorter ones. Wild 9 is an example. For years I was looking for this and it was worth it. What Earthworm Jim 3 should have been. 4/5.
#12 Game beaten in 2023 is: Silent Hill Book of Memories. The pick & play nature of this spin off makes it great, precisely at that: a spin off. Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn and Akira Yamaoka collaborated one last time so, great. 3.5/5. Top Silent Hill games:
#11 Game beaten in 2023 is: Batman Arkham Origins. Did I like it? More than expected. It has noticeable flaws? Yes. Still, my second best out of the PS3/360 era, after Asylum. 4/5. This marks the end of my gaming streak as I have a new job and well, yeah.
Quick question: has anyone had issues when blogging? When I was finished and clicked save and update, an error message showed up. What have you done if this has happened to you? I appreciate the help.
#10 Game beaten in 2023 is: Gris. Reading about this after finishing it I learnt that it took inspiration from 'Journey' and 'Ori and the blind forest' which I completely agree. The game goes so hard on its beauty and doesn't disappoint. 4.5/5. Blog soon.
#9 Game Beaten In 2023 is: FEZ. After having a taste the dimension shifting mechanics in Super Paper Mario, I wanted to try this as well. My brain was put to work in order to move on, and I appreciate that. But what is that ending? Still a fun ride. 4/5.
#8 Game beaten in 2023 is: Batman Arkham City. Asylum with a bigger, better scope. Combat issues remain the same, but a worthy sequel that expands on the original's vision. 4.5/5. Fun fact: Loving Origins a lot. Guess I'm a sucker for underrated games.
#7 Game beaten in 2023 is: Batman Arkham Asylum. Funny how being a die hard DC fan myself, I haven't given the Arkham series a try. My time with this 1st one was great. Taking what Batman Begins introduced up to 11, the end result delivers greatly. 4.5/5.
#6 Game beaten in 2023 is: Rain. This popped up in YouTube and I was intrigued. When I played it, 'ICO' & 'Lost in Shadow' came to mind and because of the risky combination I had a blast. Rain plays like a fable: easy, and innocent. 5/5. Indies rock.
#5 Game beaten in 2023 is: Silent Hill Downpour. I wanted to enjoy this, but I could only do so when the new weapon system worked, the few puzzles appeared, and the theme song played at the end. This should have been a spin off. 2/5, and I'm being nice.
#4 Game beaten in 2023 is: Journey. Rare is the case where I find myself lost in a game not for being stuck, but for how immersive it is. Grammy nominated? Deserved. Art? A 100%. When I was reaching the ending, I burst into tears. Rating exception: 20/5.
#3 Game beaten in 2023 is: Spec Ops: The Line. Everything the media says it's true, but it was your input what really convinced me to try this one. I regret nothing. The experience will forever accompany me. The 'Apocalypse Now' motif won me over. 4.5/5.
#2 Game Beaten In 2023 is: Batman Begins. Watching my brother playing this years ago got me curious as to why a movie based game was actually fun. Now that I enjoy DC a lot more, decided to jump into its video games. Starting with the bat was great.
#1 Game beaten in 2023 is: Mirror's Edge. For years I've been wanting to play it, and the outcome was just as expected: quick fun. The level design and visuals are clever, but the execution falls every now and again. Loved the theme song. 3.5 out of 5.
#1 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: Super Paper Mario. Hopefully by next year or the next I'll be dropping the 'retro' from my awards as those older games in the backlog would have been beaten. Sorry for the spam this December.
#2 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: final results to be announced tomorrow. Which ended up being my Retro GOTY this year? Child of Light or Super Paper Mario? Both excellent games in their own right. Every game beaten in 2022 in the comments:
#3 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight (Vita). The closest to a remake, in terms of audio visual aspects, that is. Yet another new genre for me and what best to try it out with a game from my favorite series? Splendid
#4 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge. Not the game most wanted or enjoyed. Totally understandable. As for me, I found the changes refreshing and worthy of the series. Hard, thrilling, and satisfying. Ryu is wonderful.
#5 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: Halo Reach (360). I didn't play the 3rd and beyond because I haven't played Halo 2. However, Reach made me feel just like the first game in the series did: happy to have experienced such a high quality game.
#6 of my Top 10 Games played in 2022 goes to: Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed (Vita). Racing games are always fun if done right, and this Sega Mario Kart does everything right, + Vyse from Skies of Arcadia. Fun is guaranteed here. Racing for the ages
