It’s time for my “Best Video Games of 2024 Awards Show!” Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed. And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!
Just in time for Halloween, this batch of game reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com features all sorts of spooky stuff, like witches and bats and alien bugs! Well OK, it’s really not that spooky, this IS me we’re talking about here. But please click on the links and read as many as you can anyway and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Well we’ve reached the finish line of another BaD! Sorry I couldn’t participate, but writing three game reviews a week plus all my other life commitments is enough for me! But I sure enjoyed reading all your other blogs and I hope you all will continue to post blogs more frequently in the future! So to celebrate the end of another good BaD, here are game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
I don’t know if it was because there was a Spring Sale, or if it was Golden Week in Japan, or maybe because of all the Coronavirus stuff. But there have been a BUNCH of games on sale lately. A few weeks ago, I got about five games on sale on PS4 for mostly less than ten bucks each! Most of them were arcade collections. Originally they were all 20 bucks, which isn’t THAT bad anyway. But I feel that digital only collections like this are still too pricey at that amount. If they were physical copies yeah I’d pay that. But since they were only digital I decided to wait for a sale. One of the games I got from that sale was the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle, which comes with seven arcade classic co-op side scrolling beat ‘em ups. There are also a bunch of neat artwork galleries in this game as well, plus you can save your games and even play them online! But since I like to talk about the games in these collections, let’s do that with this one. In the coming weeks I’ll talk about some of the other games I got on sale, too!
For Thanksgiving I’ve prepared for you all a smorgasbord of game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com for you all to chow down on. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or ‘like’ or two. I’d appreciate it. After these reviews you should all have nice plump little bellies! Bon Appetit!
Merry Christmas everyone! It’s time for the annual tradition of my Pretend Christmas Present Party! Here’s how it works. In the comments section, give me a pretend Christmas present. It can be anything you want. It won’t cost you anything, and it’s the thought that counts…literally! And in return, when I reply, I’ll give YOU a pretend Christmas present, too! It’s fun when it’s fun. And I’ve got some extra Christmas goodies for you as well! More GamerDad.com reviews I’ve written recently! Yay, just what you always wanted…right? Well maybe not, but you’re getting them anyway! Please read as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d really appreciate it.
Not really sure what it is about zombie genre that draws me in so much? It just does. I think it's the overwhelming feeling of near death at any moment that drives my interest, that false sense of security. Atmoshpere and sound design also add to immersion I guess.
Anyway, I DL the latest RE7 demo and it still feels too scary. I can't imagine VR, because RE in first person already gives me anxiety and it might be the first RE game I skip out on. They added new endings apparently. The Outlast 2 demo gave me a bit of anxiety as well. I guess playing late at night, in the dark with headphones on is not a good idea. My heart was racing too much. I had fun watching people play live on Twitch, so I might do that this time.
What I love about RE7 demo is that it does feel like a refreshing take on the series. I really enjoyed ZombiU for doing the walking sim with zombies and added a roguelike mechanic. This game gave me anxiety too, so I only played it a bit at a time. RE7 feels like a tradtional RE1 game where you have to investigate every corner of a room or backtrack to find clues and study them in order to make progress. It feels like old RE, but new. It's a house full of mysteries.
Another E3 has come and gone, so I thought I’d write a blog about my favorite games and news stories from the show. But before we get to that, I have to rant a little bit. I do apologize in advance, but for the second year in a row I was denied a press pass to E3. So I have to gripe about that a second.
Here’s just another collection of game reviews I’ve written in the last month or so. There’s some good ones this time, so I hope you all can read and comment on as many as you can. And thanks to everyone who read my birthday blog last time and gave me pretend birthday presents! It’s not too late if you still want to give me one. Anyway, here are the reviews:
The gaming season is about to heat up. It hasd been a pretty decent month for gaming. There wasn't much I am interested on the 360. I used to get all my third party titles on the 360 but I decided to change that since my PS3 is getting more attention by its many exclusive titles that are coming out over the last year.
August is gonna be a crazy month for game releases. Its like lets end summer with a bang in video games!!!! Well even though there are several Id like to pick up Im sadly gonna have to make scarficies. While I dont have to save up the entire ammount for the PS4 in August I need to start saving up for it and atleast have 200 something saved up by the end of the month so that the last bit which will prolly be around 245 can be saved up between September and October. I preordered it off Amazon so I cant put money down on it like someone who preordered at Gamestop. I get paid 3 times in August so that will be achieveable since I can separete bills in 3 ways and save any spare cash up. The games I am for sure getting in August are Dragons Crown and Final Fantasy 14: Realm Reborn. I wanted to get Tales of Xillia, Killer is Dead, The Bureau: Xcom Declassified, and Saints Row 4. I most likely will have to wait though until I know its okay to spend spare cash on them. What are your current buys for August or are you staying away from buying any new games?
Wow. Not only are we getting Tales of Xillia but they just announced that the sequel will be coming Stateside as well. That is great! We have had a great slew of titles that come over a long wait. What are others and unexpected...
I started playing more of my 360. I am enjoying State of Decay. I think its a pretty cool game and a great zombie title. A type of game centered around zombies that should have been out long ago. I can see great zombie games learning from State of Decay. The other game is Metal Gear Revengeance. I had it since it came out and just recently started playing it. I love it. The game is awesome. Platinum truly knows how to give us great action titles. There is another particular action title I am extremely excited about and that is Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. It looks awesome and better than I expected. Here is my early impressions on some games...
Hatsune Miku fans everywhere have had a reason to rejoice with the recent release of Project Diva f for Playstation 3. But now is the time for even more excitement as Sega has surpisingly shown an interest in expanding the fanbase even wider with a possible western debut. Vocaloid enthusiasts are ready to unite and show their love on the Facebook page where Sega is gauging interest for this potential release. For those not familar with the virtual pop idols, don't ignore this just yet! I'm here to convince you that this rhythm game series may be just for you.
