I may have bought quite a lot of games last month, but I only spent $10 in total for that. It was for the iTunes card to buy Raiden Legacy earlier in December while Bug Panic and Super Hexagon were Christmas purchases from the extra money left. Kingdom Rush was free so I snagged it, Twinbee was also free from Club Nintendo and Grandia was bought from the extra money from my PSN wallet after I bought Persona 4 Golden last November. So I guess I still had some control on my spending and more importantly, still no Steam Sale purchase for me which I find to be quite a big achievement already.
It also took me three weeks of on and off play to get the Platinum on Persona 4 Golden which is my third and fourth playthrough and its still as impressive as I remembered playing it years ago. Anyway, for impressions on bought games, Raiden Legacy was all new to me. While I find each game fantastic (I suck at them though) controls are disappointing especially coming from Caves ports since its not as precise. Kingdom Rush was a surprise to me, possibly the best Tower Defense game I've played on iOS and I keep on replaying it! I dont know what to say to Twinbee, all I can say is that it feels like Xevious cant complain though since its free. Bug Panic on the other hand was a bit disappointing, I guess its because Im not a big fan of twin-stick shooters and its difficult to control using touchscreens. Super Hexagon was another fantastic game. It has this "Just one more try!" addictive gameplay to it and music is catchy as hell too! Grandia on the other hand might as well be one of the best RPGs Ive played which surprised me since its the first time I played it. Only around 10+ hours since Im kinda busy but can't wait to experience more from the game especially the battle system.
This is currently my final score for 2012 and hope someone creates a new one for 2013. This really helped me thin out my backlog and also a lesson for me to control my buying habits. If I didn't join this, I would have bought more games and my backlog would still be there. Goal for 2013 is to reduce my backlog to the point that I will replay my games since I have nothing left to play. Im currently unemployed so I really need to reduce my spending and Im hoping that I would buy less than 10 games in first six months of 2013.
