After a 10-day trip to Japan and a couple of intense papers prior to finals I can report that I’m glad to be back and that I’m looking forward to a break and the chance to spend more time with my wife and these games (sometimes at the same time if her experience with Enslaved is any indication).
April was a productive month in terms of the games that I picked up (though just wait until you see what May brought with my trip to Japan). As always, I rarely paid full price for anything listed and I will note any extraordinary deals, because having patience and tracking down these deals is a sizable part of the fun in collecting.
