Divinity Original Sin is an awesome game. A great classic RPG. Very Reminiscent of Baldur's Gate and Ultima.

I played the Alpha for a bit and was really impressed. Is the Beta only for those who pre-ordered?

Yeah, but apparently you can preorder on Amazon, get the code, and then cancel the preorder.

All stamps, stars, and gold flags. I haven't beaten crown world yet but to give me a break from it I've started going back to beat levels with other characters.

I love this game so much. I might go back and play through it again.

Also, DK tropical freeze is growing on me.

It's so much fun. Even the difficult levels were fun.

For sure. The one that gave me the most trouble was the final level in Flower World where you have to beat 6 bosses without running out of time.

What's your #1? I haven't played this yet but damn, SMB3, SMW, 64, Galaxy 1 & 2, New SMB are all near perfect.

SMB3 is number 1. And yeah I understand how bold that statement was.

I wasn't a big fan of 64 and while I loved Galaxy 1 I never played Galaxy 2.

Is the "iPad" necessary? Or can I buy and use a controller?

No the gamepad isn't necessary. You can use normal wii U controller. My kid and I both used pro controllers.

Not bold to me. 64 has aged the least gracefully of the group. Galaxy 2 is a must if you liked Galaxy 1.

For the record, I have beaten SMB3 as every Mario type except for Frog (it's impossible).
