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!
The next 25 games on Metacritic for the GBA. I'll have my favorites, but I'll look up everything and see what's available to me to try out.
Every day that I visit the comic store, I browse the bargain bin for interesting single issues from the past. In addition to trying out new stories and characters, I find video game ads. I started scanning (and now photographing) them. Here are the latest ones.
It's always a comfort knowing this website still runs and the community still supports it. There's nothing but shame and bad excuses from me. It's nonsensical, too: professing my enjoyment of a website even though I don't do enough as a member. I can always take comfort in the fact that it's super laid back (unless someone in the comments corrects me on that opinion ;) )
This was The portable system to have back in the day. I had so many good memories with this thing. The graphics were so good, it was like having a small portable SNES in your hand. I had one of these things with me on my deployment to Iraq for the army, and it provided me with a lot of enjoyment over the years. I literally owned every iteration of this thing, and don't regret it one bit. When it was discontinued, I was kind of sad, because I felt like it still had some life left in it.
There’s always been something special about the Super Smash Bros. series for me, even starting with the very first release. I’ve always enjoyed fighting games, but admittedly, I’m not very good at them. Smash Bros. gave me the opportunity to really compete and enjoy mastery of a fighting game for once. Being skilled in the game doesn’t come down to your ability to input complex combos, but rather your ability to read and react to your opponent. It’s a satisfying mind game that continues to draw me to the series, especially as each game becomes more grandiose, featuring bigger rosters and level selections. Ultimate, as expected, is the most impressive offering yet, boasting every character to grace the series, most of the levels, as well as a set of brand new fighters that include many of the big requests fans have had for years.
As I’m coming to realize, I have a weakness for games classified as Metroidvanias. Between the layered progression and backtracking and the feeling of getting progressively more powerful, with some great boss fights sprinkled throughout, there’s always something to help continuously pull me through these experiences. Omega Strike, clocking in at five hours, is no exception to this rule and is further bolstered by its clear Metal Slug influence.
The end of summer is almost here, so let’s have one last big summer fling with some game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on as many links as you can, and maybe even post a comment or like or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK, let’s begin!
Recently SEGA released a collection of Genesis titles on current consoles. I love classic game collections so in this blog we’ll go over all the games on here. Back in the 16-bit days I was a SNES guy so I missed out on a lot of Genesis games so many of these titles aren’t as familiar to me. There also a lot of neat features in this collection like trophies and challenges, online play for certain games, and the whole setup is like you’re in a gamer’s bedroom from the 90’s, complete with SEGA posters on the wall! Speaking of which, the game even comes with a poster with Golden Axe on one side and Streets of Rage on the other. Anyway, since there are so many games on this collection, we’re going to split this blog into two parts. So let’s get started with the first set of games!
From the deepest darkest areas of Norway comes Dimmu Borgir tenth studio Album, Eonian. This is the first one in seven years and it delivers with the same symphonic black metal goodnees we have come to know Dimmu Borgir for.
Nintendo is no stranger to making risky decisions that could have resulted in utter failure. After all, they released the Famicom\NES during a time when the consumer market shunned video games. Then there was that time in 2004 when most of us thought they were crazy when they announced the dual screen handheld DS. And many were skeptical when motion controls were introduced on the Wii console. Nonetheless, their decisions proved to be a significant success. Such was the case with the early Metroid series.
Hey, peeps. Haven't posted here in awhile except occasional comments.
Boo! Here’s another batch of games I’ve reviewed over at GamerDad.com. They’re so good, it’s scary! Whooooo! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two here or there. I’d appreciate it, thanks. Now let’s begin…if you dare!
So while the rest of you are preparing for your BaD next month, I realized I just do not have the time for that I used to. So I'm going in once a week next month, maybe twice. But don't look for me blogging, look for me on the reviews as I give you PENaT: Pokemon Every Now and Then. I'll review every mainline Pokemon game with the exceptions of the 3DS titles. The reason? Well JD gave an excellent review of X and Y while I have Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire covered.
