Sine Mora was free?? Crap, I must have missed it 
I've discovered that not everything goes into the "New Arrivals" tab, apparently. That's the one I've always checked but recently I looked through the others and found that Sonic racing game and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD both free for the Vita in other tabs. Glad I didn't miss those at least.
I want to get Guacamelee on the Vita. Seems like the perfect sort of game for the system, but I'm gonna wait for another sail. Or, better yet, maybe Sony will put it on PS+ and thanks to that service, I have plenty of games to play in the meantime.
That Genesis looks like a cable box lol. Nice of your friend to let you have it. Devilish actually had a rerelease on the DS but I heard it wasn't too good. But who am I to talk. I love the Genesis game Sub-Terrania and that one certainly has its share of problems.
Glad you bought in! 
I know! As soon as I saw his name on this one, I had to get it.
Nice list! BioShock Infinite was my Game of the Year but I haven't played any of those others yet. Hoping to get all of them though. A Link Between Worlds sounds like a great choice. My 3DS was used almost constantly all year long and that will probably be a similar story this year.
Oh, I forgot the "excluding weekends" part! Maybe I could swing it after all...
I always wondered what you did in Ecco. Looks like some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't. Those graphics are amazing for the Genesis though. Not long ago I got Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3 ($3 at a consignment sale for children's clothes lol) and it has both Ecco and its sequel, Tides of Time. I always thought that was a strange subtitle for the sequel but I guess it makes sense, considering how strange the first game turns out to be. Anyway, I'll have to try those.
Back in high school in the early aughts, I read halfway through The Fall of Reach. It was a far away football game and I borrowed it from someone that had brought it with him but was more social than me lol. I never finished it but I liked what I read. I've since picked up a copy and anothe of Nyland's books, First Strike, (thanks, Goodwill!) but I haven't read them yet. Hard to believe there are thirteen already. That works out to, what, one a year?
Whoa, nice! It can be hard to balance work, life, and games. Sometimes blogging falls by the wayside.
I certainly have an idea of what I'd call the game of the generation, though I suppose it could vary wildly depending on your criteria.
