I had to wait for a massive update on my PS4 that I haven't booted up in months, so I went back to Forza Horizon 2. Then, after I finally pulled myself away from it, I started Dragon Quest Heroes II and played it for several hours.
I should've gone back to Battlefield 3 today, but that game kind of depressed me. So many realistic people gunned down in the street. I kind of didn't want to see more of that. So I tried out a bunch of stuff I got for free at one time or another in my virtual game collection on XBO.
I saw lots of interesting stuff. I really love the art style of games like Shadow of the Colossus and Monster Hunter. It’s different than anything I saw in the Microsoft presentation and that’s what I’m looking for on my PS4, unique games, especially in a more eastern art style.
First, I don't want anyone knowing how much I make, but I'm quite proud of my budget for March, which I just got done with a 50/30/20 Google Docs Worksheet. Not sure I trust Google with this information, but I am an American. I trust nefarious strangers in exchange for convenience. What are you gonna do?
I played the first two chapters of Tales from the Borderlands on XBO the other day and, oh boy, what a difference from the Xbox 360 version. The XBO version ran perfectly smoothly, no frame rate drops or anything. I enjoyed it so much more. I'm noticing things now in the game I didn't notice before because I was so distracted by the technical problems. I now realize how these issues can so badly effect the experience of a game; the whole pacing of the story was ruined on Xbox 360. I didn't even play the last episode on 360 for over six months because I was so annoyed by it. I'm glad I bought this for XBO. It's exactly what I had hoped for, an error free experience.

Well it's valentine's day everyone and as a special gift I got a box o' games! HO HO! You thought it was a box o' chocolates! Bad jokes aside... here is today's batch!
Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
The Sakura Wars franchise is a series that I had no knowledge of, but long story short, the entire series was exclusive to Japan. It’s a strange predicament because the franchise is developed and published by Sega & Red Entertainment, but it’s Nippon Ichi Software who brought the game to the English market for the Nintendo Wii & PS2. It took over 13 years and five main games in the series for a chance to be able to play a Sakura Wars game in English. Another amusing fact is that Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love was actually out in Japan since 2005… To put that into perspective, the game was localized for us western audiences in 2010. That’s a hell of a difference, but in the end was it worth it? Well I'll discuss that today in this weeks rendition of Bargain Bin Buys. This week I present Sakura War: So Long, My Love. A game I bought for $10!
So, I'm a bit late to the party, but lately, I've been playing Super Mario Maker pretty much non stop. Unfortunately, while it is quite good, it's also designed by crazy shut ins who haven't stepped outside since hating hansen was relevant.
So, I just could not help it. There is a new Fatal Frame out and I had to get it! Here are some of the beginning screen shots on the Wii U Pad.
