Black Friday is a national tragedy. Like Aerosmith.

    Finally picked up another handheld game type deal after a lot of hype surrounding it. Way Forward, masters of pretty much everything they do, which are 2D sidescrollers, made an Adventure Time game that's pretty gosh darn swanky. As of writing this I've played through it twice in order to have easier access to the soundtrack. Music by their in-house guy Jake Kaufman, by the way, who's incredible at everything and whatever soundtrack he touches turns to audio gold. Game plays a lot like Zelda 2 as well, which is kinda incroyable. Alsooooo started playin' Binary Domain, which is a super coolio robot shooter by the fine folks who do the Yakuza games. It's a third person squad shooter but it still has the same great writing of a Yakuza game, and a trust system with all the characters that transfers into the gameplay pretty well. Japanese shooters aren't always the most incredible, but it's\games like this and Vanquish where they really shine. Thank youuuu Nagoshi and Platinum Games. Also the Wii-U came out and it has a big goofy touchpad. Whatever.
