I had a really good time with Xbox 360, or 3tricksy as I like to call it, this week. This is what I got to in my journey through all my 360 games.
I can't seem to find my draft of this blog right now, so I'm rewriting it hastily and with much less content due to time limitations. In any case, this is 2012, the stuff I played during Console Generation 7 and mostly not later, because a lot on the Metacritic list I played years later or literally in 2026. Let's go.
In the last part of my PS4 tribute blog, we looked at the games I enjoyed on the PS4 that were classic collections or remakes. And on this one, we’ll look at the more AAA titles (well as AAA as I get anyway), as well as the indie titles on the opposite end of the spectrum. Like I said before, most of these games you can enjoy on other platforms, I just played them on PS4.
When a game console is considered “dead,” I like to write a tribute blog about that console and its games. While most people would probably consider the PS4 ‘dead’ for a while now, I’m still reviewing games for it. I guess a game console is really only considered ‘dead’ once you stop playing it. But since recently I wasn’t able to get simple games like LEGO Batman and Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection on the PS4, I figured it was about time. I’ll probably do a similar blog with the original Switch later towards the end of this year. Most of the games on this list you can play on other consoles as well, I mostly used the PS4 as a third party machine if I couldn’t play or review it on the Switch, or if I’d rather play it on the PS4. Anyway, there are so many games I’m going to split this up into two parts. And the first part is going to be all about classic game collections, and remakes of classics and styled games.
Going down the top ranked on Metacritic for that year, these are what I played a lot within console generation 7,
What it is: Stuff I played close to the year of release or at least during console generation 7, listed in order of Metacritic ranking for 2008.
One of my brothers got married a couple of weeks ago, hence the title of this blog. So congrats to him! And I also got married as well. Sort of. You’ll just have to read on to find out! Yeah, sorry to use clickbait on you all, but it’s fun when it’s fun. Anyway after all this wedding stuff are more reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. OK let’s begin!
Happy Easter! I’ve got some video game Easter egg reviews for you all to hunt. When you find one, please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK, let’s begin!
Around this time, I like to make a list of games I’m looking forward to in the coming year. Of course, this won’t be a complete list, as there will surely be titles announced throughout the year that we don’t know about yet. Especially with the new Switch 2 console being out and all. Heck, this time last year we didn’t even know when the Switch 2 would be coming out! But these are the ones I know about so far that I want to try. So let’s begin!
Also played some Game Boy and a whole lot of Switch games.
I got through a lot of GBA/PS2 stuff this week and retro on Xbox Series S. I got some good purchases on sales this week too. Also progress through the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue show, books and podcasts.
It’s spooky season, and I’ve got some treats for you! No tricks! It’s game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com! About half of them are Pokémon related, so that explains the title of this blog. Also there’s a new Pokémon game that just came out. I’ll probably get it soon, as I did like the first Pokémon Legends game pretty well. Anyway, please click on the links to the reviews and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
The dreaded stealth gameplay got to me again in several new games I tried out this week. But I finished Doom Dark Ages, discovered some new Atari games, and got sucked into an old classic again.
I'm all over the place lately. I'm trying to do games set in the 50s and keep up with the new stuff. I eventually just reduced it all to playing the largest files size games first on my hard drive. It's all a mess now, but I'm having fun, so I guess it's all good. Here's the sloppy story.
I'm on a kind of staycation this week. I made some real life journeys to NYC and some virtual ones to WWI France, a fanciful place called Teyvat, baseball land, and Marvel's NYC.
My new plan is to roughly follow my reading plan. This month I'm reading from the years 1900-1949. The games just have to be related to the period in some way. So this blog is about my week's plays and some new pickups.
I'm kinda not doing the turn-based rpg thing anymore. I've pivoted to a new plan, but I'll mention that after my progress report on Friday's gaming.
I got another day, maybe, but I got a weird work schedule again this week and so am here recalling the day and half I spent so far.
My car's in the shop and so there will be a delay -- hence the blog. Onward.
This is your lucky day! I’ve got more game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
I dug into any Nintendo stuff that fits my brick-breaker/fixed screen shooter theme. Then I started a new game list and played what I could without spending anything. Then the usual backups.
Really, two weeks of stuff here. I swap out consoles like they were cakes on display at a cake shop except for the Xbox Series S, which is always hooked up.
i played a bunch of stuff from my month's theme (70s). When I run out of stuff on a particular day, I default to Lego Star Wars.
This week I played a lot of different stuff but mostly brick-breakers like Breakout and Arkanoid.
