The results shown below are of course based on the combined data from the Daily Game Log which should provide a clear indication of a game's usage frequency. Bear in mind that even if a game is played twice or more during a particular day, it would still register as 1 in the Day Count column below. In a sense, "merits" are given based on how often a particular game can make me play it again throughout the entire period of the month on a daily basis. A game that makes a gamer play it over and over again or at least spend a lot of time with it... Isn't that what we mostly want from a great game? I don't think it's really fair to count all the way down to the number of hours played since some games only require a short amount of time to properly serve their purposes.
OVERALL BREAKDOWN:
Total Games Played: 61
Well, it finally happened. It is to be expected that League of Legends for the Personal Computer would consume most of my video gaming time but last month was a record breaker for it was played every single day of the month. Don;t expect a repeat performance though because I got my beta access to DOTA 2 earlier this month and that has caused things to change as you will see in March 2012's analysis. Still, I do prefer LoL gameplay over DOTA 2's - LoL is a lot more polished, user-friendly, and fun. I really don't see myself abandoning LoL over DOTA 2 but both will dominate all of my free time.
Tied at second place are Final Fantasy XIII-2 for the PlayStation 3 and Phoenix HD for the iPad. I really did enjoy XIII-2 but I returned it back to GameFly before I could get to the end of the game, thinking that I was going to cancel the rental service subscription. Phoenix HD is a great game to play in bed while waiting for the spouse to join me. Since it's basically a survival game where you have to destroy never-ending waves of enemies that shoot crazy amount of bullets at you, it is really easy to just jump in and out of the game.
Then we have DariusBurst: Second Prologue for the iPad. I always have to sit down and focus whenever I play this game, which is something that can't be said about a lot of these other iOS titles. I love that the game is tough to master and I do plan to play it a lot more often.
