Wonderful 101:

Also, me and my buddy beat "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light" yesterday. Ending movie was rather disappointing. It just started so abruptly and ended the game so fast i didn't even get it's over at first. It also looked rather cheap, even mid-stage cutscenes looked better in previous levels.
Still, Guardian of Light is a great co-op game. Highly recommended.

EarthBound.
Played for the first time, and beat it. Such a strange game, but I have to say that I quite liked it. Well, besides the rather difficult and sometimes brutal parts of the game—but that's me being more used to the easy RPGs they're making nowadays.

Well, I recently finished Killer is Dead, and it is indeed the true successor to Killer 7...in that it's also a pretty average game and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. :P: The combat can be fairly enjoyable up until enemies are able to attack you with both melee and ranged at the same time (thus making racking up combos fairly impossible), and the dodge mechanic is especially satisfying. The game just feels like a lot of disparate ideas thrown together with no real cohesion, and the boss fights are pretty disappointing for a Suda 51 game.
Oh, and lest I forget...Killer is Dead is also one of the most sexist games I've ever seen. Women in this game are completely ineffectual; stupid; or there for the sheer purpose of being ****ed for power-ups. I just about reached my breaking point when I reached the train level and the characters started talking about how the men needed to take down the runaway train because "trains are a MAN'S passion. Women and children don't belong there." I would have turned the game off right there out of disgust if it wasn't the second-to-last stage.

Injustice
Oh wow, story mode is so short in this game. I literally finished it in two sittings. I remember how Mortal Kombat's story mode took me more than a week to finish and it was the best single player mode in a fighting game i played.
In this game story mode is built very similarly but it's inferior to MK in many ways:
1) as i said ridiculously short, just not enough meat in there
2) story mode is divided in "chapters" where you play as one character for a few fights. MK's chapters i remember being pretty long, there have been like seven or more fights for each character. Some chapters took me entire evenings to get through. Injustice's chapters have just four-five fights per character. That's just not nearly enough to learn all the moves and get the general feeling of a fighter. Just as you are getting it, nope -- the chapter has ended, here's a new character -- start all over again.
3) the other problem with chapters is that there is just not enough of them, so roster isn't represented fully in it and that'd be understandable, if not for the fact that you play as Batman during three chapters. Three chapters as Batman, while everyone else gets one and some characters aren't in story mode at all.
My favourite characters to fight with were Superman and Green Arrow. Many other character i simply didn't get. Flash was pretty fun but i had no idea what most of his moves do, so i just spammed throws and regular kicks. Also couldn't make sense of Wonder Woman's stance system. Couldn't understand how to fight with Lex Luthor properly.
Ah well, i still enjoyed it enough, and the price being zero Costa Rican colones makes it easy to ignore these flaws.

I finished Puppeteer a few days ago, and it is excellent. It is, however, a game that you really have to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy, as its mechanics ARE simplistic and cutscenes DO go on too long. However, in my experience the game was so incredibly charming, cleverly presented, artistically impressive, and fun that those faults didn't really bother me. This game is very much the kind of game I've always wanted out of the Kirby franchise (which this game shares some similarities with).
