Well, the nominees for the best game of the month of February were...
Sins of a Solar Empire (PC)
Patapon (PSP)
Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)
Lost Odyssey (360)
Harvest Moon (Wii (VC))
It was a very hard set of games to choose the best from, and even harder to choose a winner. But the winner deserved it in EVERY respect.
And the winner is....
PATAPON (PSP)
Simply put, Patapon ran away with it towards the end. I was torn between Patapon and Lost Odyssey for the 360, but Lost Odyssey missed out because 1) I do not own the game, and 2) I am not the biggest fan of JRPGs (or RPGs in general).
Patapon is depth. I have been playing the game since I got it the day it came out, and I am still playing it. I have already beaten it twice, and am trying to get a better score for #3. The rhythms will get in your head and mess with you, and you will enjoy it.
Anywho, if you own a PSP, GET PATAPON. PERIOD.

The game of the month for March will be a close call, btw.

about me
Holy crap, I know no one reads my blog... but really... I have been gone for a loooooooong time, and I am back for good. Srsly. I am BACK... (I really never left). I have now "grown up" and moved on to bigger and better things in the life of a gamer. For instance, I am now a full-fledged 360 ADDICT, with little to no Wii influence at all besides my losing 2" off my waistline thanks to Wii Fit (I know, I was surprised too) and my friends and I playing Boom Blox and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
I am now 17 and am still living in Pennsylvania. I am an avid VGXpo attendee (the only video game conference in Philly) and have been to New York Comic-Con twice now. I have "grown up" in every sense of the term (Besides the little WWE fan inside of me, go Edge!!!). Anywho, my new favorite game is either Skate 2 or Guitar Hero: World Tour... for now. I now actually have G4, and watch it almost religiously. Attack of the Show and X-Play are new favorites on my list.
