It has been a loooong ass time since I've played much videogames, but my friend works in development for PopCap and so he's always got the latest and greatest. At his house the other day he wowed me with this:

3D Dot Game Heroes

If you haven't heard of it, it is FUCKING AMAZING! It is HIGHLY influenced by old rpgs's (Zelda in most particular) but gameplay, action, and puzzles are engrossing and fun. Especially with that horrid new Zelda about to be released, this is a great way to hearken back to the good old days of red rings and silver arrows.

You can also create your own playable characters pixel by pixel.



Perhaps I just haven't been in loop for a long ass time, but this game is serious fun. Check it.

Yeah this is one of the games that makes me want to get a PS3 bad (along w/ ModNation Racers, Little Big Planet, Flower, not to mention the obvious with Metal Gear, Ratchet & Clank).
