Playtime included finishing Mass Effect 3 and getting hooked on replaying Gears of War 3. I touched on a bunch of others though.
My picks from the second page of 25 games on Metacritic's Best of All Time for the years 2010-2012 sorted by score and then by system.
August begins my next set of three retro years, 2010-2012. Here are my picks from page one from Metacritic's best-of-all-time games for those years. I organized them in order of score but now also by system because I've found I don't like switching systems too frequently.
What I played this week and the various stuff I picked up on the cheap from the soon to be closed Xbox 360 store, some from Game 'n' DVD Exchange and from a new store I discovered called Just Press Play in Lancaster Pa.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It’s been a minute but I’m back, and how about that we get an extra day in February. Well it’s been a different couple of weeks where it’s either been cold and rainy, really warm, and now windy in Vegas, but either way I like it. I do wish we had more snow this year but I think that’s over now. Anyways let’s go into what I’ve been playing and what I finished.
Expansion Pass 2 Game #5/Blog a Day #23
Gamed until I felt like I just wanted to quit and go home. I did eventually find a comfortable game to sink my time into.
Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass #28/Blog a Day #3
Launch into a new adventure!
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! It is week two of BaD and I have just decided to not go with a theme for this year. Maybe not having a theme is the theme, who knows, I’ll figure out what I am going to do on the fly…WE’LL DO IT LIVE!
Welcome to the 7th Annual Chris Goes Awards Show, but since it’s the end of a decade I’m going to skip some numbers (it worked for the iPhone, it’ll probably work here) and go for the my best of the decade. A little disclaimer here: I can’t remember what I played during the early part of the decade but there are games that stood out to me so I’m going to call them the Best of the Decade. Sound good? Let’s get started!
Heard a bunch of Charles Ives because he was active in the first decade of the 20th century, the decade I'm reading about this month.
The last couple years I’ve applied a year-long theme to help me choose media to consume. Last year I chose from a different 5-year span every month starting with my birth year. This coming year I thought I’d make it decades and start at 1900.
Not quite retro, but it'll do. I'm currently populating a list of games, books, film and music that I have and want from those years. I'll try and play some of the games (although Forza Horizon 4 will probably stomp that into the ground), read a few books, watch a few films and make several mix cds for my car. Here's some highlights.
Just as I was looking at Gamestop's weekly sales to see what was up, I saw one on Wii-U, $30 off. I was going to wait a few weeks but this seemed like the perfect time to strike. One benjamin down, but I can now play some pre-Switch Nintendo games.
I picked up Yoshi's Woolly World today for Wii-U at Gamestop for $16. It's the fourth game in my Wii-U collection alongside Pikmin 3, Zelda Wind Waker HD and Skylanders Superchargers. I still need a Wii-U though. I may have that remedied soon. I'd like to have one for October when I review the years 2010-2014.
We hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day, because we have a lot of love to give you with this new episode of Nerds Without Pants. It’s the return to our standard show format, which means we’ve got Stage Select, Consumption Junction, and Chrono Crossing all set up for you. Enjoy!
