Starting on Sly Cooper Thieves in Time on my PS Vita so I have no idea what to expect because I never played the PS2 games so here I go!

E.X. Troopers: I bought it when I was on holiday, tried it for the first time today and now I'm about three hours in.
It's not bad; somewhat enjoyable even. The Lost Planet connections are clear in both plot and gameplay, however, the game has been thrown through the Japan-a-fier with a manga inspired art style and cliché sci-fi "Let's set it in a school-like environment for the hell of it" anime plot. Another noticeable change is that missions are now bite size (at around 5-10 minutes each) compared to the lengthy missions found in Lost Planet. This is a huge blessing as previously a failure in Lost Planet could have meant repeating the past half an hour of gameplay.
The language barrier isn't too bad; I've managed to muddle through so far with my limited Japanese and I've got a (very basic) idea of what's going on.
If you're looking for something to import on a whim and you've got some money to burn then it's worth a try. Put it somewhere near the middle of your import list.
I'll post any new opinions on the game if they change as I play through it.

Neverwinter
I was never expecting much from this, but it's actually a pretty solid MMO. TERA like combat with the dodge mechanic of Guild Wars 2 and the instanced format similar to Dungeons & Dragons Online. It's a lot of fun. Kinda ugly though and the sound is pretty lacking (though the music is good).
A proper Obsidian Neverwinter Nights sequel would be better but at least its not another crap Bioware game lol
oh and i guess its the first game to use 4th Edition rules which is neat.

Decided to go and buy Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, going by what people were saying it's supposed to be pretty fun. Yes, yes it is. Me, being heavily addicted to 80s and early 90s action movies, adored the references. I love it, it reminds me of the fun I had playing Doom, before FPS games were brown, war simulators...
