What have I been playing this week?<\/p>\n
This last week was a polar shift in what I’ve been playing as I’ve become heavily involved in a new game. With nothing on my review slate I decided to start playing through Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse<\/em>, a game which I’ve long wanted to play but never got around to purchasing (and never being able to get a review copy). The game is just as great as I thought it would be, but more on that when I polish off my review.<\/p>\n I played Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse<\/em> for a whopping thirteen hours last week, dwarfing all my other play time. By far.<\/p>\n Of course Nintendo Badge Arcade<\/em> and Animal Crossing: New Leaf<\/em> are mainstays as I end up playing each for at least a few minutes each day. I also put in a quick run in Rio as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are you playing this week? Did you get anything new, or are you looking forward to something?
