Bioshock Infinite had an awesome, trippy ending. So glad I played it! I still think the first game was better, but that was a very good sequel.

I love this game, but I'm really glad I'm finished, because earning its 70 achievements was quite a chore. -__- Now I've got to finish up its follow-up, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, which has been kind of disappointing.
I also played Alan Wake recently too! What a fun game. The story got so gripping after a while that I didn't want to stop playing! I found it more thrilling than actually horrifying, if you know what I mean - the darkness and trees blowing around in the wind was creepy and all, but I didn't find any of it truly scary. I loved how they made it feel like a TV show, though I think they should've filmed the cutscenes as live-action, because as good as the graphics are...they made Alan look kind of like a dork with his mouth hanging open all the time. One of the highlights of the game was the amount of Poets of the Fall music they used
Alan Wake's American Nightmare was a nice little game, but yeah - it's nowhere near as interesting, fun, or difficult as the first game. I was kind of disappointed that you actually get some hefty firepower in it, because most of the challenge of the first game was just running around with a pistol and a flare most of the time. But I don't think American Nightmare was a complete waste, because the story ends so much more satisfactorily than the first game did, and I
love Mr. Scratch. He's such a delightfully evil villain - and so funny too! I loved watching
his messages on the TV set.
I've also recently played an RPG Maker horror game called The Witch's House, which was actually really creepy. Very well made. Then I played the demo for Kraven Manor, a horror game with really interesting dynamics - you have to alter the architecture of the house as you play so you can get farther. It was extra creepy because there was a statue involved that moved when you weren't looking at it
I finally got around to trying out Stranger's Wrath, a game I'd been looking forward to for a long time...but I was rather disappointed. There was hardly any story, and what story there was just wasn't anywhere near as gripping as that of the previous Oddworld games. The gameplay wasn't fun enough to make up for that, and because you pretty much
have to play it with an XBox controller (even though I was playing the PC version)...that was just a big no. I still don't understand why they made the XBox controller the way they did; I seriously think it would give me carpal tunnel if I played XBox games regularly (something about the positioning of the left control stick, meaning I have to strain my weaker hand). So I gave up on that game. The setting was very original and interesting, but it just wasn't worth it.
Now I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, which is
very fun. Some of the things they do with the story are rather funny and cute, and it's just nice to see Zelda
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: go back to being Tetra again. The temples are very fun, especially with the timed element! It's actually challenging, which is more than I can say for most recent Zelda games. And Linebeck is just loads of fun
More people need to know about this amazing little game.
It's probably one of my favorite Square games XD. Joshua and Neku's conversations always bring a smile to my face lol.
It's a bit tiresome to go through primarily the same exact material 
I'm glad I played it!
