Assassin's Creed III (360). This is my first experience with the series, and I chose it because we don't have many decent games (or many games in general) set during the Revolutionary War.
I've had a few issues, such as it freezing up 3 times trying to load up this one cutscene, but I'm having fun getting used to the gameplay, climbing all over colonial Boston.
Think I need to get a different set of batteries though, as the cheap pair I bought at the Dollar Tree aren't doing it. For some reason the controller automatically shuts off whenever I fire a firearm, whenever I'm hit by any attack, or whenever it loads up the next wave of enemies (this is annoying because the game doesn't auto pause when the controller loses connection). It only does this in missions too. When just free roaming the city I don't have issues.

I had a little over a Dollar left over on my Google Play account, this was on sale for 99ยข, and I've never played anything Tomb Raider related before so I figured what the heck.
Haven't played it much yet, but I'm impressed so far. It's a level based puzzle game that sees you traversing through ruins, avoiding/deactivating traps, avoiding/defeating enemies, and collecting treasure (optional) along the way.
It has a more colorful art direction that I'm enjoying (and it looks like they actually put care into it), and it controls just fine as it was built for the platform.

@RR529: Those games seem to be hugely underrated. I just recently got into the Hitman games (also made by Square Enix, the same that do Tomb Raider) and found out that there's a smartphone game called Hitman GO (which is also on PS4 and Vita) which looks really fun and stays true to the Hitman formula. They seem to know what they're doing when translating their huge franchises into smaller smartphone games.
Yeah, it was really fun. I worked my way through the main story ruins (including getting all relics), and had started working on the extra area (the cave of fire, or something like that), but I haven't been able to complete it because I ran into a game breaking glitch.
Apparently the button to connect it to your Google Play Games account doesn't work, and trying to do so will cause the game to fail to load up the main menu (this problem persists even after restarting my tablet, and clearing the game's cache).
I sent an email to the support team, but other player reviews who have encountered the glitch have said SE have known about it, and haven't fixed it yet (the earliest review I saw mentioning the glitch was written in August, and they've only updated the game once since then, in September, and it didn't fix it).

PSP (Retail). Star Ocean: Second Evolution ($4.99).
PSP (Retail). Mana Khemia ($4.99).
PSP (Retail). Little Big Planet ($4.99).
Got all of that at Fry's Electronics this weekend! They're liquidating their supply of PSP and PS2 products so if they happen to have any left at your local stores this is your last chance to purchase them!
Woohoo! I found a copy of Sword Art Online: Lost Song Southeast Asia English Subbed Version for the PS3 on Amazon last weekend and snatched myself up a copy. I never thought that it'd ever be back in stock at Amazon! It set me back $49.99, but because I have Prime it only took three days to arrive! ^_^
@KratosMD: Ah understandable. Definitely make sure you get Final Fantasy VI. Quite possiblely the best game in the series. Though if you get it get it on GBA, SNES, Wii or Wii U VC (the last 3 it's known as Final Fantasy III). It was ported to the PSONE but the load times are horrible.

@KratosMD: Nope. Europe never got the SNES version. They only got the GBA and PSONE release. I am not sure if it's on the Wii or Wii U in Europe. You can also play it other ways but, I can't discuss the ways here.

Got it on sale for $1, just like Lara Croft: GO & Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse (both of which I've already completed).
I've only just started it, but I'm already hooked. It has the same quick to pick up puzzle gameplay as Lara Croft: GO, but I can already tell it has it's own unique elements (like multiple ways to complete a level). The board game like art direction looks cool, and I'm glad it lets me experience a series in a form that I find more appealing (I don't turn my nose up at Mature games, but I generally prefer less gory games).

@Rukiafan7: Wow nice loot there! I actually played all of them except trails of cold steel (that I probably would like, loved trails in the sky...). FF13-2 is very nice gameplay wise, the story is a terrible mess and Serah and Noel are very weak characters imho but the game still makes you love it with its battle system, music, monster capture etc. Skyward sword is a strange game...iit's like they wanted to change the zelda formula but they didn't...and you notice it. It tries to be different but ends up being the (awesome) post Ocarina zelda we know and love.
@Feena: Thanks, it's a shame that my pooptastic wi-fi constantly cuts out, because as a result I can't download the 22 0.8-1.5 GB patches for Gran Turismo 6 which means I'm stuck with the vanilla version of the game which is missing over 100 cars including awesome conceptual ones, several tracks and a ton of events, as well as features such as the track editor and online play...Cries Quietly In The Corner...
Wanted to try this out for awhile, and finally got the chance to download it. I'm not too far in yet, but it's tons of fun. It's awesome stringing toether combos with hundreds of hits (I think I even hit a 900 hit combo once), and trying out all the different characters.
