This month in review is brought to you by a complete lack of gaming. Oh, and no money either. Idiots forgot to pay me.

The On-Going Quest: Game Progress

Final Fantasy III (DS)

Time spent to date: 24 hours

Still going on with Final Fantasy III. Lunch breaks are great for grinding! I've just got the final bunch of job cIasses, so there can't be too much left (or is there?). Next up: Chrono Trigger, which I have been dying to play since the year dot.

Infinite Undiscovery (X360)

Time spent to date: 4 hours

I started this game fully intending to spend hours and hours engrossed in a gripping RPG, whiling away many a contented hour butt-kicking for goodness. Right now that's not an option, considering my gaming sessions are truncated to whatever minutes I can grab between peroids of mature, responsible adulthood. Which is a darn shame considering I was just beginning to enjoy myself with this one.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (X360)

Time spent to date: 2 hours

Well, I've already technically played this game to completion in it's various last-gen incarnations, and to be fair the Lego thing has been done to death... but I couldn't resist going back to where it all begin. LSW - in particular the original trilogy part - is still the best. Perfect for those all-too brief gaming sessions I have to live with these days.

Lego Batman (X360)

Time spent: 30 hours

100% completion and I'm done. I haven't got all the achievements, but some of them are a bit silly and quite frankly I think at least one is broken. Since I'm not particularly a points whore I'll leave it at that. It's a great little game though. Not as funny as Lego Star Wars or Lego Indy, but I guess the Batman universe isn't exactly a barrel of laughs in the first place.

Achievements

Infinite Undiscovery (+ 60, 60 total)
