What Video Games Have You Obtained And/Or Beaten Recently?

As the holidays are winding down, some of the tropers among us might have added new video games to their collection, started to play those new games, and/or finding time to complete games they would normally find difficulty trying to complete during their busy lives, packed with school, work, family, or a combination of the three. Now, the question I want to ask you, my fellow members of the TV Tropes community: 1) What new games have you obtained over the winter break and have you started playing them? (By "New Games", they can include any generation of handheld or console game that you yourself had not played or heard at all)

2) If you beat that new game, have you managed to finish a game that was sitting on the shelf for a while that wasn't even 1/4 complete?

Let me get started. As a Catholic, I celebrate Christmas (!). And for Christmas I got Bulletstorm, Batman Arkham City, Call Of Duty]] [[Modern Warfare 3, and James Bond 007 Blood Stone all for the Xbox360. I managed to beat the main campaign of Arkham City with 41% of the side missions complete within a week, and Bulletstorm 's campaign done within the next. My goal is to at least finish the first disc, of which I am past the Odin boss battle and now in temporary command of Sazh and Vanille, searching for the Pulse ship in the Vile Peaks of Final Fantasy XIII' before I resume classes on January 25.

Got Prototype and Bully. Gave up on the former in the final bossfight*

, gave up on the latter about halfway through*

seriously, how padded can one game be?

It looks like I'll be playing freeware and reading library books until summer.

Edit: Oh, almost forgot that I got Rondo Of Swords! I dislike a lot of the design decisions, but I have to admit the combat system's unique—I'll probably restart it from the beginning some time now that I understand how character improvement works.

Recently beat Modern Warfare 3's campaign on Veteran difficulty, and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine as well. During the Steam sale all I picked up was just DEFCON and Limbo. Despite that I only played a few matches of it online to get some achievements for the Steam event, and haven't even touched Limbo yet.

I beat Animal Crossing.

Recently beat: Digimon World Dusk. Still kind of faffing about in the Playable Epilogue, though.

Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!

: I think there are certain parts of Twilight Princess that I imagine would come off completely differently to someone who's played Skyward Sword first. I'll bet it'll be an interesting experience.

You mean waggling? Yeah...

Nope. Storyline things.
