What are those games about?
Just a series of JRPGs. Depends on which game you play. They all have similar gameplay styles but story-wise, none of them have anything to do with each other unless it's a direct sequel. They're available on a variety of handhelds and consoles. IMO the really good ones are on Sony stuff.

Interesting...
Disney Infinity is a really fun game.
I especially prefer the gladiator arena.

Whilst I agree...I still think it's a worse version of Skylanders. I mean, it's obvious they're just leaching on the amazing success of Skylanders, kinda funny since most people leach on Disney's success, but meh... Skylander's was just more fun in my opinion.

Skylanders Giants should have been an expansion pack of the original game.
Spending another $40-$50 dollars is too stupid.
But, in skylanders defense (or both of their offence), both games are just something to leach out of your wallet.

I don't like how they had to slap Spyro on it. They could have done the same thing without him in it.

It would have been less marketable. See: Rayman: Raving Rabbids or Star Fox Adventures.

Actually, I think Dinosuar Planet would have been a great game with out Star Fox.
It made no sense to fight Andross at the end.

So I had Battlefield 4 for a few hours, then without even opening it I sent it back because of the netcode issues that I had heard about a day before receiving it in the mail. Also I was waiting to get money for a PC so that I could play it there. Not sure if I made a mistake or not.

I am not sure about console versions, but there are still stability issues on the PC issues, it's a poorly optimized game that will crash for no reason

I think it has to do with the version of DirectX you're using in terms of optimization- I've seen the same guy who reported the netcode issues say that with DX11.1 framerate increases drastically. I'll probably have to stick in a card that supports 11.1 if I want to play BF4 at decent framerates when I get the PC.

Having grown up with computers and video games since early 80s, graphics and artwork isn't something I judge a game by at all. It all comes down to gameplay.
A mishmash of games Ive been good at:
Zelda II:
Finished the game by completing the castles in reverse order and not bothering picking up the candle and it still was too easy.
Contra / Probotector:
Funfact: Whenever you beat the last boss and the game started from the beginning again the game became slightly harder each time (unless you resetted the NES that is). Ive finished the game so many times in a row that there never was any delay in the respawning of enemies.
Track N Field 2 to NES, Track N Field to PSX:
Unrivalled. "Please don't use a turbo controller" used to appear on the screen.
Action Half-Life:
Unrivalled.
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter:
I played nothing but TIE Interceptor. Basically being the only one doing so I still managed to score among the top players that were flying TIE Advanced.
Streetfighter II, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat Triology:
The originals. Close to unrivalled. But ever after MK3 I lost my touch in playing such games with nowadays the movement of every controller and setups responding in completely opposite way.
The Sonic series:
Any game system and game up until Sonic 3D.
Im . . . An casual retro gamer? I enjoy newer games but I mostly play old games.

Okami is an amazing game. It deserves a sequel. C'mon, Capcom! And don't muck it up!

Unfortunately no. I didn't like Okamiden too much actually, feels like a cheap filler more than a sequel... most of the original's "magic" has been lost

If you're interested in looking at the game without actually having to find and buy it, Chuggaaconroy does a playthrough of it. (He does both actually) I've never played either game (Well, I have Okami just a little bit. Not enough to really count for anything though) so I don't feel like I'm qualified to speak for it, but based on Chugga's playthrough's, I have to agree with Stu. It looked like a good game as a stand alone, but as a sequel, it seems to... lack a little. (It is really cool though, and adds a ton on to the universe. I'd recommend at least watching a playthrough for the story.)

I never got into it until I started playing with friends. All the grinding is a lot more fun with friends to do it with.
