I noticed my Facebook was being flooded with messages showing the hashtag: #100HappyDays. After taking a moment to find out what this was all about; it seems the challenge is to find one thing per day that brings you joy for 100 days in a row. So I thought I'd join in with 100 Happy Gaming Days.
For Day One we have Pikmin! A great series from Nintendo that sees you organising a band of adorable little alien critters and having them beat up monsters and gathering precious loot. The game's special because you do care about the safety of your Pikmin, and feeling your heart slowly breaking as they get gobbled up, or smushed, by one of the games many enemies and letting out a little whimper of sorrow as their ghost ascends to the sky. The level designs are fantastic as well with some beautifully designed foliage, along with a very unique soundtrack to match.
I'm currently playing through Pikmin 2 at the moment as I'm hoping to finally finish it before I get my mitts on Pikmin 3 plus a Wii U. If you have never played any games in the series I highly recommend that you give them a try.
