Lies, plans and resolutions (which are also likely to be lies)

Okay. So clearly that Pokemon X review hasn't happened yet. I am a liar.

I will get around to it.

I also have reviews for a few other games in mind. And for once, I won't even make it a mystery! Consider this a preview post, if'n you will!

Upcoming reviews (In no particular order):

Nier
Pokemon X
Grand Theft Auto V
Demon's Souls
Sonic Generations (Warning: gonna be fanboytastic)
Metal Gear Revengeance
Fire Emblem Awakening
Various Final Fantasy Games

And of course, there are more, but those are what I'm gonna try and focus on.

Now for the final part, resolutions.

It is my plan and resolution to go forth and try and write two reviews a week, starting in January. I dunno how well I will hold to it, but I'm gonna give it a go.

In January, I will also be tracking my Winter-Een-Mas tribute. Last time, it was Demon's Souls. This time, I shall tackle Dark Souls.

Pray for me.

That out of the way, as a bonus, I finally finished FFIV, and while I haven't finished XIV, I've gotten far enough that I can give a solid impression, so some quickie reviews:

FFIV: Strong storytelling with a diverse plot hampered by a basic overall story, bland world, and a truly forgettable endgame. Tired of Kain's punk ass betraying me. But very enjoyable as a whole. Love that soundtrack. 7.5/10

FFXIV: Hard to describe why I like this one so much in quickie format, but screw it: Lush and lovely world, excellent soundtrack, fluid (for the most part) gameplay, solid story, and decent, if sometimes sluggish pacing kept me hooked. The community, at least pre-level cap is pretty solid, and I can even bear playing with people I don't know, something I am normally very much against (weird, I am aware, but it's just a quirk.). Don't have the money to continue my subscription atm, but as soon as I do, it's go time. 8.5/10. Very much considering a 9.

Okay. So that's that.

Yep.
