Been playing Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and DmC: Devil May Cry for some time now. Both are very great games. Revelations 2 isn't quite a return to form for the series but it's definitely a leap in the right direction. It's no REmake but it's also no RE6. I'd say it's somewhere in the middle like RE4 was. I also really like how much more the story connects to and references recent games. It actually feels like a much more proper sequel to RE5 than RE6 did. The gameplay and atmosphere is also a huge improvement over recent games.

As for DmC, I don't get where the hate came from. Movement and combat are very fluid and satisfying, environments are visually stunning, Dante is a lot less annoying than he was in DMC 3, and by the end of the game everything seemed to have reached the status quo for the series with

Spoiler:

The changes people cried about don't even seem long lasting. For a reboot it's actually pretty creative and clever. It did a great job of retelling and expanding the origin while setting the sequel up for more familiar territory. It'll actually be a shame if we don't see a sequel for this game because DmC is a solid foundation in both its lore and gameplay and there's definitely potential to win over the fans.

I've also finished Alan Wake's American Nightmare recently and it's okay for a downloadable game. The character models and enemy and weapon variety are a step up from the original but the repeating of the same three levels feels cheap even if not totally unbearable. I also wish we got to spend more time in the daytime setting because the game looks fantastic in the light even if it is for a brief few seconds in the arcade mode.

And I finally started The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the first time. I stopped right before the first dungeon and I'm really loving it so far. There's just something very Christmas-like about starting a new Zelda game. Gotta love Nintendo. They really know how to evoke happiness with their games.
