Thanks for the tip, Cody. i played the demo on the Xbox and enjoyed it, and it was on my list to get sometime. Never would have considered getting it for the PS3, though.

Other updates:

I tried the demo for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Perhaps if I played it from the start I'd feel differently, but the demo didn't do it for me. There's a class of video games I never really got into, and I think this probably pushes some buttons for people other than me. I like anime, but only certain kinds. That said, the story sounds similar to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which I really enjoyed, so maybe I'll pick it up cheap sometime.

The Last of Us is still amazing. I'm about to go retrieve a battery, if that tells you where I am in the story. It has some of the best characters I've seen in a video game, in that they're complicated in a realistic way. They have to do extreme things, but gosh, in that world, you have to or you're dead. There was few moments during my first battles with Clickers where I thought it might be too intense for me, and I still feel a sense of dread, but I think I might make it.
