I only have a few here I put on my must-play list, but I like to look at everything anyway and perhaps try something new if I can find it for cheap enough. Remasters are also of interest since sometimes they vastly improve the experience. So this is Metacritic's top PS2 games 26-50 with comments.
While I was playing through Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain I decided I would capture all the animals in the game and get the throphy for that. One animal that you catch is a Legendary snake from Japan, a Tsuchinoko. According to the titles on the screen after Big Boss captures one it states that a Tsuchinoko Has Never Been Captured Before! It is a discovery of the Century.
Welcome, welcome, to the 75th episode of Nerds Without Pants! It's a monumental occasion, as we are also celebrating our third year anniversary. We celebrate in bombastic fashion, with an epic episode full of surprises and hilarity. If you can make it to the end of this three and a half hour monster we love you.
On April 8th a Nintendo Direct Special for the new Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U showcased more gameplay, new mechanics, and new characters. However, there were a few things missing. One of which happens to be one for the first twelve fighters in the Smash Bros. circuit. Along with some missing fighters there are also some fan wishes out there, so let's take a look at a few of them.
So, as per a comment I made (belatedly I might add) in the forums yesterday about sending my copy of The Last Of Us to trade credit hell, im proud to report I got rid of it and my copy of FF XIII. I was a bit on the fence about trading in FF, as my ten hours with it werent unenjoyable. ....but when I think of the amount of hours id need to put in versus what im actually willing to put in...well it just wasn't ever going to get beat.
When it comes to getting things done in my apartment during the work-week, I'm completely useless. I figure I'll have enough time to finish chores by a certain time or catch up on tv or movies but all I recently had time for is sleeping and eating and then cleaning up to go to work. Either I really can't manage my time well or its damn near impossible. I only feel alive and alert during the night when I'm working.
Yeah we all have those songs from gaming that we love. I've held off for a while talking about them, but now I shall unleash them to you in no particular order!
I was truly torn.
I had gotten some best buy gift cards and I did not know what to do with them. I did know that I wanted to spend it on one of two things.
1. Classic Doctor Who.
2. Bioshock Infinite.
At the time I did not know which option was more appealing to me. Both are things that I love. Doctor who is my favourite television show, ever. There are plenty of other shows that I love, but they tie for second. Shows like chuck, star trek: tos, red dwarf, fringe, and all of joss whedon's collection are sadly second string to doctor who. I have been slowly amassing a collection of the classic series and am up to nearly two dozen serials. I have yet to be dissappointed. So, I am eager to continue to expand my collection. Best buy always seems to have some of the classic serials on sale and I have been eyeing the key to time arc and the dalek war arc. Both are about 50% off, which is great, because I do not really want to spend $100 on the key to time story arc. Back to the point, I love doctor who and was thinking of getting some more with birthday cash.
Bioshock Infinite is another beast entirely. I throroughly enjoyed playing Bioshock, and enjoyed bioshock 2 even more. I would like to give more time to mgs3 than I gave to mgs2 because I have rather fond memories of mgs3. So, I am not too eager to dive right into snake eater. While I am working my way through Halo4 again, I am doing it with the weakly challenges. So, one level a week assuming that the challenges work with me. So, that leaves me with a little void as to what to play next. I still have a few other things in my backlog, but they are not screaming my name. Bioshock Infinite is screaming my name.
So, I was torn. Two things that I really wanted. With little help in making the decision. Then I decided to stop in a best buy. I never expect them to have the greatest selection of doctor who, and I was right. They did not have what I was looking for, but they did have Bioshock Infinite. So, I went with that.
One other thing of note. I found out that I had a bunch of reward zone money from best buy. So, I bought the dalek war anyways. At that point it became a tough decision between doctor who stories.
I've been seeing quite a few blogs and web site stories and previews on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5.
It's true, after proving to Google almost five-hundred times that I'm not a robot, by copying letters and numbers only a damn robot could decipher, all of my 1up blogs are now up at joemikestep.blogspot.com. And yes, the background is kind of ugly, cause unfortunately I not only copy/pasted from Bing to get those ugly picture edges, I also got one where the background of the picture itself is in soft focus, which looks awful when copied all over the place, but trust me it's not nearly as bad as it was, and at least it has a theme now. I'll work on prettying it up later.
It wasn’t long ago that we saw the release of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Previews Editor, Julian Titus, was able to take the title for a spin and his review clearly indicated that this is a great collection of games. The same holds true here, but there have been a few changes in its transition to the PlayStation Vita.
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was originally released this past November for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It contained remastered versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. A Vita version of the collection was officially announced earlier this past March and now the release date has been revealed.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is the kind of game that appeals to a very specific audience; an audience that already has unconditional love for the source material, which allows them to overlook the obvious shortcomings of this handheld iteration. Though there is evidence that suggests that the developers treated this game as more than a simple port, their efforts will likely go unnoticed by those not previously indoctrinated.
Although originally tweeted by Hideo Kojima, Konami has officially announced the release of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PlayStation Vita. The port is coming this summer and includes Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3, removing the inclusion of Peace Walked as seen in the home console release.
Today Nintendo gave fans a taste of Resident Evil: Revelations via the first downloadable demo in the 3DS’ short lifespan. The first of multiple demos that also include ones for Rayman Origins and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, this will be the first time that many gamers are treated to what a portable Resident Evil will offer in 3D. But like all good things, this demo won’t last forever and is far more limited than you may expect.
Downloadable 3DS demos were mentioned to be a part of the latest firmware update and they are finally making an appearance with the release of the demo for Resident Evil: Revelations tomorrow. Of course all demos will be free of charge.
