Keeping it going through 2015. Not as many games finished as 2014.
Looking back, there's plenty of good stuff there which I completely forgot I finished. My age showing?

January - Laughed all the way through, and it didn't stick around too long (10 hours to clear in all). As a South Park fan, they did a decent job of balancing the new stuff with the old references.
January - So close to being really great. I just wish there were bigger enemy groups, as once the game speeds up they space out just a bit too much. Loved the movement, and the weapon selection is as varied and wacky as I wanted it to be. The amps are really cool, as well. For what it's worth, I thought the way it repeatedly tapped on the fourth wall was fun.
January - Ended up not buying this for over a year because of a completely terrible demo. Really enjoyed it in the end - though the random battle encounter rate is too high in areas with puzzles - the last few areas just became annoying. Luckily there's an item to reduce the encounter rate to zero. The battles are good though, and the plot ended up being enjoyable enough with some great voice acting. The worst part? No Vita TV support.
January - A nice extra chunk of Infamous. It'd been a long while since I finished Second Son so it was nice to get back to the same map. Didn't outstay its welcome either. I'd also forgotten how good the audio in Second Son was, and the acting was as convincing as ever. There's a bit at the start which I'm sure is just them showing off how good their motion capture is.
[DLC collection] Both of these were interesting. I liked the hacked-together feel of Enter the Dominatrix and the "prototype" cutscene videos (especially the live action one!), though the boss could have been better. Saints Save Christmas was more complete and had some funny lines. After playing Infamous again, the OTT movement in SR4 felt more stiff and limiting, which I didn't expect. I'm glad I played through these for the £1 I paid for them, but I'm going to wait and see on Gat Out Of Hell because these were both pretty short.
February - Probably my favourite dungeon crawler ever. Great sense of accomplishment and a surprising amount of gimmicks which don't spoil things - in fact, they add some needed variety. The last boss was a fucker though, 20 minutes of walking around just to get to it! Going to go for the Platinum (first since FF13-2) as I'm already 88% of the way there. [2017 note - I spent about 5 hours trying to get those last rare drops for the platinum and they just didn't appear!]
[2015 edition] March - main story completed - Sometimes you just need to click on stuff, and this does a great job at a good price. Stuttery as hell on my computer, though.
[Episode Duscae] March - Took a good four hours! Really looking forward to the full version. Full of little bits of detail and character. [2017 note - oh dear!]
March - The same, but more. More. More!!!
April - This was really good. I didn't really get into Ori on Xbone, but this kept me going to the end. Super sharp controls and I like the way they approached the graphics a lot.
