I got Pac-man Championship Edition 2 over the Xmas break on Steam along with some other stuff. I want to love it, but struggling. The controls seem just a little more wonky than CE DX though enough to put me off. I'm playing with a 360 pad and only the d-pad seems to do the trick, and you guys know how divisive opinions on that can be. I'd love to play this with an arcade joystick on a stand up cabinet and see how much my game improves. Now you have to chase the ghost trains which move super fast, and the eating is automatic, and it finally drops you off at the spawn point of the maze despite where you finished eating the ghosts. So it's less satisfying and also disorienting now, though I guess a little more in the spirit of the original game where you'd have to chase down the four ghosts (now four ghost trains) separately. I see what they were going for. You also have to chase the goddamn fruit now! C'mon, that's just annoying. I just tried one of the jump levels and that was pretty frustrating as you can't necessarily tell where you end up until you land. I'm sure with memorization it would get easier but I didn't take to it as naturally as the championship level. On the plus side, the music is great and the visuals are pretty. I will try to give it some more love a little at a time.
I also picked up Dead Rising 3 (need a PC upgrade to play it I think), Overcooked which I bought because my gf enjoys those sort of a cooking/time based games, RE: Revelations 2 (Why not, I buy every other RE game, I played a bit of the first level months back and it seemed alright enough for my horror fix which I need a constant supply of), Hand of Fate, Rollers of the Realm, and a bunch of other small games.
I am now thinking about playing some Shovel Knight on Wii U, which I treated myself to last week also.
