 I... definitely played a little bit of everything this month, a ton of great games, and... Project X Zone, man was that game misguided. I'm cutting this month short since I'm pretty sure I won't be finishing Guilty Gear, Naruto or Dungeon Explorer( Oh god, this game...) before December ends, and the first part of the super prestigious Archile's End of the Year Awards are coming later tonight so... yeah.


 Game of December:
 Pursuit Force - Extreme Justice was an excellent sequel, but there was something about the first one that Extreme Justice couldn't match. Pursuit Force is one of those games that feel as if they were made for me, an arcade game full of action and explosions, alongside fun mechanics that make it a pretty unforgettable game. Pursuit Force is a must have on anyone's PSP library.

 Runner-up:
 Parasite Eve was just... amazing. I had played PE II before, but I wasn't too fond of it, regardless, I've been wanting to replay it, alongside its prequel, for a while now. Parasite Eve is a much superior game to PE II, with a likable protagonist, an fun battle system and an interesting story. It's a game that reminded me of how good SquareSoft used to be, before they started to make terrible games and thrive on fan service. Oh, how times change...
