A belated happy new year!

I'm hoping to be a little more prolific this year. Last year I only completed one game (Thirty!) so that shouldnt be too hard to top. As mentioned before, with so many games half finished, if I can make time I should be able to see a lot of them through to completion.

Finding that time might be difficult however as I'm getting married this year and have so much to sort out! Also, if I'm honest, a fair bit of my time right now is being taken up playing the awesome Skyward Sword. As mentioned in my top 5 games post I'm a huge Zelda fanboy so it will come as no surprise that I'm loving the game.

Another great game that I mentioned in the same post was XCOM:Enemy Unknown. A remake has been anounced for the end of the year. Some great screenshots here. Wonder if my five year old box will run it!

Also, this week, Lee Brimelow posted a couple of video tutorials about creating Finite State Machines for controlling the flow of your games. As a user of Flixel and its FlxState functions, I have become used to using states to control games. This tutorial provides a neat way of setting an FSM up for yourself and your non Flixel games.
