Updated with Super Mario 3D World.  I played this game with my wife.  I might go back to it one day to do a solo run.  Not sure if playing it in multiplayer added to or diminnished the game's charm.

It again uses the UbiArts Framework engine for beautiful graphics. The musical score is emotional at times, funny at times and always appropriate; down to even using some classical and familar songs to set the pacing for some brief actions pieces, a-la Rayman. THIS IS NOT AN ACTION GAME, HOWEVER... This is mostly a point-and-click adventure with mildly challenging puzzles. This is a game made to tell a story, tug at the heart-strings and get a point across... and it does so very, very well. It will only take about 4 or 5 hours to beat though, but that is perfect and enough. You can go back into it and find collectibles, if you wish, or you could actually read the historical facts the game gives about WWI... I got so wrapped up in the lives of the characters that I DID NOT do all of this, but the game could be extended in that way should you want it to last that much more. Again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Hmmm. I was hoping it was a Metal Slug style shooter/ action game.

Point and click though? Sounds like soemthing I'd gift to Foolz if I thought he might play it.

Referring to AR-K: "I still enjoyed it."

"if I thought he might play it."

I'm glad we do this thread. I'm having a lot of fun keeping track of this stuff this year.

Every board should have a thread like this. But then, none of them have the community we do so we're lucky.

1 month between finished games this time, half as long as the last gap! Watch me fly.

FUCK YOU 150CC cups. FUCK. YOU.

No, apparently I'm just crap. Sad

GG's advice: "The first thing anyone should do in Mario Kart is 3 star all the cups" as if it's a piece of piss. Hrm

Takes like 8 hours. There are a few hard missions to get an A rank in at the start, thats about it. Plus lots of reloading cause you cant use continue as it lowers your rank meaning you need to back out, go to the menu and reload a save to restart a mission.

Good on ya man. That was a long time coming for me, I think it took me four years on and off.

Tedious last sequence.
