Weekly Poll: Its Own Reward
March 26, 2012
Like the majority of you, I bought Kid Icarus: Uprising for the Nintendo 3DS. I was on the fence for a while, but was eventually won over by developer Masahiro Sakurai's history of well-developed titles, the free 3D Classics version of the original Kid Icarus included with preorders, and my need to acquire just a few more Club Nintendo points to put me over the top for Platinum status for the year. In the end, I lucked out. Uprising is a blast to play (either with or without the included 3DS stand). I feel as if I've only scratched the surface of what the game has to offer.
Speaking of controversial new releases, Sony and Thatgamecompany unleashed Journey for the PlayStation 3 recently. If you played it, did you enjoy it? Did you find it to be a deeply moving experience worthy of replaying and continued exploration? Was it existential art in its truest form? Did you find it to be a pretentious waste of your time and money? Did you just plain not like it? Let's hear your thoughts.
