Doom Ride with Saint's Gat

In keeping with 1994, I played a bunch of Doom II today on Xbox Live. Fun game. I went for achievements right away since I've played it many times before. Remembering all the secrets on level 1 was interesting. After a while my memory was jogged and I got them all for an achievement. Then I was going for the one playing the whole game on next to hardest or better difficulty. Along the way I got the chainsaw kills one and tried to get the berzerk kills one on the first level you have that. Not enough enemies there to do it though. You need 20 within the very short time it's active and you're invincible. Later I found the room where you can get the kill a cyberdemon by punching. There's invincibility globes all around, so it shouldn't be too hard. I got a bit tired of playing it though and stopped. 

To unwind a bit more I played Ticket to Ride with Mark and another random who popped in. I don't see many other players playing this game, so it was a rare treat to have someone else in there. Mark beat both of us though and that person didn't return for more rounds. Now I think of it, I should've sent him/her a friend request. 

Then I popped in Saint's Row: Gat Out of Hell and couldn't stop playing until the night was over. My friend Mark, who was playing Goat Simulator, kept looking over and got real interested in playing it. I think I'll hunt down a second copy for him so we can play co-op. This game is really good. Totally reminds me of Crackdown but with true flying. Controls were excellent and, as I said, I couldn't stop playing and had to pry myself away at night's end. Got get them orbs. I was surprised by a cut scene. It was done in full song like an opera between Satan and his daughter Jezebel. It was really well done and very funny. Man, I'm going to be playing more of this game next week for sure. 

Now I'm gonna start researching 1995 and put together my music playlist for the week and figure out which games to revisit.

The Gat out of Hell adventure is really great. I couldn't stop flying around with my angel wings and collecting orbs. Felt like Crackdown 2 and the wing suit but even better because you can flap your wings and keep going.

What?  No FF6 yet?

Two awesome games from 1995 to look out for: Yoshi's Island and Chrono Trigger.

I had the worst time getting to gaming last week. 

Yea, put those both on my list. I just got Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 though, so I'll play that first.

There is so much comedy in the Saints Row games and Gat Outta Hell is such a steal for $20.

I think I got it for even less used at Gamestop. I think it was $15.

I'm still trying to get thrown Saint's Row 4, it doesn't really have the magic of SR3 even after its amazing intro.

I'm really going to have to get to those games now. Lovin' Gat Out of Hell. I'll probably be playing some co-op in it this weekend.
