BaD #27

Project X-Zone 2 is a strategy RPG starring popular video game characters from Bandai Namco, SEGA, Capcom, and Nintendo.  Last time on this blog series, we looked at the characters from SEGA and Nintendo.  Today, we’ll look at the ones from Bandai Namco.

I’ve been enjoying Super Mario Maker for the Wii U lately.  It’s a new game that lets you create your own 2-D Mario levels, and share and play them with friends online!  It’s a lot of fun, and it got me to thinking about my other favorite “make your own game…games.”  So here’s a list of my top five, plus some honorable mentions.

So, September 9th happens to be the anniversaries of the US launches of two of my favorite consoles ever.

For this BaD I'm going to talk about game genres I don't play and why. Then you get your turn.

Pixlbit Nation how are you on this this wet Monday Morning? Currently it is a nice 58 degrees and it rained last night in my corner of Sunny Southern California. This is the final week of Blog A Day and I have to say I might have some BaD spillover next week because I still have a couple of systems to talk about and one of them might be another 2 parter *cough the Original Playstation. Anyways Monday’s are usually reserved for games I’ve been playing but I’d like to get through the second part of the PS2 library so let’s get it started!

So I have alot to make up on and I'm sorry. Things got crazy which is what I expected. However I'm gonna finish this dammit. So just a few things to start, we got the apartment pretty much set up to go for March 1st and 2nd. We payed the deposit and am paying the first month rent next week. Next Monday our families are having a housewarming party to celebrate us moving on to our next adventure. I'm pretty excited for it! I'm also nervous but new adventures normally come with that.

I'm later than usual with this blog.  I couldn't find a decent camera to take pictures.  Oh well, it's better late than never.  I did good in 2014.  I didn't buy a lot of games.  Got too many digital games though.  There were some decent sales this year.

Well Happy Wednesday Pixlbit Nation! I still don’t get why it is warm (80 degrees and sunny) but I would have liked a couple of weeks of winter like weather but hey it is what it is. Anyways for today I’d like to focus on a system that many people adored, but I stayed away from until the release of the next generation version, and that is the X-Box. The X-Box was a hell of a machine, but I found a nice home in the Playstation Camp. I understood what the X-Box offered but at the same time I had a sizeable PS2 library and I didn’t want to make that financial investment in another console. I actually waited a bit until the release of the 360 and a used X-Box was going for around $100. One day I decided it was worth a try to pick up a console, and it was probably around the time of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deals at GameStop so I stocked up on titles that were exclusive to the console…and maybe a cheap copies of games I owned on the PS2.

Kind of disappointing, so far it's pretty much a movie. You just watch the story unfold instead of picking a character and fighting thru matches. I'm really getting sick of fighting games doing this. While alot people might like fighting games for competition I've never been an online fighter type, there are too many assholes online and I know I'm not good at them. I do my best to learn the characters but for the most part I've just never been good with connecting moves, learning guard breaks, or special moves that require u to do a tap dance number across the screen. I play them for the story mode/arcade mode mostly. Soul Calibur ruined its story mode with SC5. It was short and overall disappointing since there was a huge lack of characters in it and u were cut down to 3 people that u played as during it. Not to mention, u didn't get a choice who u played as. I'll update more as I go in the coming days but I hope there is more to this. I love Guilty Gear, I love it's characters, music, and style. However I do love it's story too and it's sad to see it get wasted lIke this. I was really excited to fight thru the story 

Well, Hyrule Warriors has been released, and it’s a mix up of two different game series.  It combines The Legend of Zelda’s characters and settings with Dynasty Warriors’ action and gameplay.  So that got me to thinking: what other games would make good Dynasty Warriors crossovers?  Here are my top five picks.

Hey folks.  Monday, September 15, is my birthday!  So to celebrate, here’s a fun blog and a quiz!  We’re going to do the whole ‘pretend birthday party’ thing like I do every year, so if you’re interested, keep reading!  (Yes this is kind of a filler blog, but I don’t do too many of those, so don’t worry.)

Games I Beat:

Recently I ordered a birthday present for a close relative online, but it wasn’t enough to get free shipping.  So I ordered Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for Wii U to go along with it.  I’m not a big fan of Tekken games, but I’ve been known to buy a couple of them if they have a few modes and features I like, and if the price is low enough.  For instance, I got Tekken 4 when it was cheap, simply because hidden in the game was an old Namco arcade 3-D space shooter called StarBlade.  The Wii U edition of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 had some Nintendo-centric modes and features I was curious about trying, but not curious enough to pay full price for.  But I found it cheap enough now online, and I’ve been playing it off and on.  So in honor of that, here is a blog about my top ten favorite Tekken fighters!

Hello everyone, welcome to the second day of EVO Week here. Before we get on with the topic for today, just wanted to post the official stream schedule for the weekend.

Here’s another batch of reviews I’ve written lately over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it.  I’m also using this blog to commemorate a gaming ‘milestone’ for me.  Recently, I passed the 50,000 Achievement Point mark on Xbox LIVE!

Last Minute character wishes

As another E3 looms large, expectations are much different than last year. The specter of MS's DRM and always online machinations clouded the proceedings, allowing Sony to swoop in and crush their competition handily. Nintendo, meanwhile, saw no presence on the E3 stage, opting instead to focus on an E3 Direct and show floor presence.

Let's be honest, 2013 wasn't a great year for fighting games. Not terrible in a long stretch, but in comparison to previous years. 2014, in comparison, is looking to be big. Really, big. So big that to explain it all I have to split it between 3 separate blogs (and even then its still not big enough to explain it all). But today we start big with the 4 biggest fighting games to look forward to this year (so far). Featuring a plethora styles, genres, and even a new franchise too. A diverse set of fighting games that should appeal to everyone.

Quick note: For some reason a few of my pics are sideways.  I don't know why.  Hopefully it will fix itself in time.  Kind of like the pic sizes fixing themselves.  Maybe I should just stop using photobucket. 

Its the end of the first week of bad. Of course, its today when I can't think of anything to write about. So here's a bunch of things I've been doing and thinking about.
