Excuse the weird title. I was trying to pull a Crabmaster2000 and make a unique title out of what I've played. Heh. Anyway...

That game is Robot Block, better known as Stack-Up in the US. I recently acquired this ultra-rare title, and all I gotta say is this: "I don't get it". I've gotta say, I've played some...well, "different" games in my time, but this one takes the Trophy for Different. Even with a FAQ, I couldn't figure it out. None the less, what I have here is certainly unique. It even has some Voice Clips! So, yeah. Not much to say about this one.

As you can see, that's Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention for the PS Vita. This Strategy RPG is about a Demon Kid who is mad at his Dad for crushing his "Slaystation Portable" by accident. (Do I REALLY need to tell you where the name Slaystation comes from? I didn't think so.)
Anyway, the Demon Kid in question, Mao, is trying to kill his Dad for the injustice. Mao, (Voiced by the extremely talented Vic Mignogna, of DBZ "Broly" and DNAngel "Dark Mousy" fame) is a really immature and bratty kid with an EQ (Evil Quotient) of 1.8 Million. He attends a Demon School where things like skipping class are considered good, so he's an Honor Student.
The point is, this is one funny game, and if you like Strategy RPGs, you should seriously try this game. Don't have a Vita? There's a Version with less content for the PS3!

That is the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft. Basically, it's a stripped down version of Minecraft for the PC, with updates from the PC Version coming to it slowly. Your probably thinking "Why should I play it then?". Well, there's no cheats or mods for one thing, so actually playing the game (It's better with a friend on the couch beside you. Yes, it has split screen Co-Op.) is rewarding. Plus, if your the kind of person who likes Achievements, this game is an easy way to get them.
Well, that's what I've been playing lately. Check back later for a new entry. Also, don't expect a new PGGS for a while. My sensors broke. Sorry about that.

Your first attempt at mashing up some random game names turned out better than a lot of mine even after a bit of practice, lol.
I've REALLY enjoyed Disgaea and just liked Disgaea 2. I've had 3 sitting on my shelf for a long time now and just havnt gotten around to it. Its so hard to tear myself away from the NES though.

Vic is also well known for many other voice roles, including Edward from Full Metal Alchemist to name a famous one.

Hey, maybe you could take a stab at playing the stack-up game with a power glove.
That'd be REALLY different... ;P

You didn't read the end of this post, did you?

@ReddMcKnight:
Sorry, didn't pick up on the "PGGS" part.

Me and the friends practically live on minecraft: Xbox. If you ever want someone to dig with, let me know!

damn I really need to get into the Disgaea games. They are so obviously games I'd enjoy. I think my problem has been indecision. On one hand, I tend to play console games way more often than portable games. But on the flip, I feel like SRPG's are great pick-up-and-play games. I guess I need to figure out WHICH Disgaea game I want to play, and for which format.
