So I got a 3DS for my birthday. It's pretty awesome!

Now, I like my game systems to play games, my computers to let me surf the webs...normally I don't like to surf the webs on my systems. I did, however, check out the browser on my 3DS and was content with it, but more than likely, I'll never use it again.

I do like all the little download features, like the Pokedex and Netflix, and the AR (augmented reality) cards are pretty nifty. I downloaded Swap Notes (like an improved Pictochat), but I have no friends and no real reason to use it right now. d:

I was originally planning on just playing around with these features and then picking up games later on, but one of my friends bought me Resident Evil: Revelations. I've gotten a couple of hours into the game, and it's so much fun! A lot of people I know who have a 3DS don't play with the 3D on; they use it for the cinemas. But, I've been playing the game with the 3D on and love it. I did buy a Circle Pad Pro to use with it, which is very helpful. I enjoy being able to turn the camera and look around a corner.

I also recently grabbed a copy of Dragon's Dogma. It's an open-world Capcom action RPG, so what's not to like? It's a lot of fun, especially since you get to customize your character and your main follower, upgrade your stats and pick abilities...and climb on giant monsters to stab their eyes out!

Lollipop Chainsaw comes out in a couple of days, and I'm really looking forward to that. I really liked Suda 51's last game, Shadow's of the Damned, and I imagine it'll play along in that vein: over-the-top, sexy, gory, and fun. I mean, you're a cheerleader, with a chainsaw, killing zombies. Need I say more?

And now that E3's over, I'll be spending time pining away for the next Gears of War. <3 More on that later.
