What were the last video games you played?

She did stuff in Wind Waked as Tetra

Right, but she wasn't Zelda yet. When she finally realized she was Zelda, what'd she do? Hide under a statue the rest of the game.

She had a decent role in WW until she found out she was a Princess and was locked away. It's like her realization was a plotline curse for her to become mostly useless for the second half of the game.

EDIT - Ninja'd (or more appropriately put, Sheika'd)

True.

And that's why Samus is awesome (aside from Other M).

but I'm loving every minute of Rayman Origins.

Christ yes. So good.

I have yet to play Other M, but it's currently like, $6.

I put it down the second that the strong female lead allowed herself to start dying because her male superrior told her not to activate her varia suite until he tells her she can.

That is not the Samus I know and love.

Christ yes. So good.

I still wonder why I don't own that, and I missed the $20 deal I think.

That's about all it's worth. Gameplay was mostly fun, but story progression was weak and the only replay value is a no-item (Health tanks, missle upgrades, etc) Hard mode.

Just jumped off of Left 4 Dead 2. I ran through the end of Dead Center and all of Dark Carnival with a random campaign group. It was pretty fun, we were great on Dead Center, and I was particularly awesome in a few parts of the Carnival, but the finale on that level is still a pain. Took us three tries and only one person got to the chopper. I might have escaped if the heli had come in stage right, but it went for stage left and I had barely any health. One of our guys had died just over halfway between me and the heli though, so I was able to get to him and hit him with the defibrillator before I was killed, and he made it to the helicopter while the other two guys got slaughtered by a tank that had popped up between them and the chopper. He didn't even realize I had resuscitated him for a good few moments! I thought I was going to have to limp to the helicopter and hope his AFK ass would be bait, but no, he woke up and managed to escape. Escaped TO SPACE!

I think the list price has dropped to $30. Apparently it didn't sell super well, and I'm starting to worry that the fact that in order to make a 2D game that beautifully polished, it won't cover its losses at the $10 price point the 2D arcade titles seem to go for.

Although I'm disappointed in the low sales, I'm glad that Ubisoft did decide to make Rayman Origins a retail title. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten to play it on my Wii, which was starved for games in 2011 outside of Zelda. I think if they had released it during a really slow season, like summer, they would have gotten more attention, and possibly more sales. Releasing it right in the middle of blockbuster season was a bad move on their part.
