It’s raining game 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. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Pac-Man World: Re-Pac was recently released, and it’s a remake of Pac-Man World, a 3-D platformer originally on the PSOne to celebrate Pac-Man’s 20th anniversary. Pac-Man World may not be one of my favorite Pac-Man games, but I have a lot of special memories about it that I thought I’d share with you in this blog. Plus my opinion on the remake, what has changed and stayed the same, etc. So grab a bowl of Pac-Dots and let’s get chomping!
Recently I reviewed SkullGirls: 2nd Encore. It’s a 2-D one-on-one fighter with cartoony graphics and I’ve been wanting to review it since 2012 when it came out, but for whatever reasons I wasn’t able to. But I got my chance when it came out on the Switch! For what’s considered an indie game, this one is very good. Almost on par with fighters like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear! I was very impressed with the creativity of the characters and even the storylines in the Story Mode were pretty interesting. And usually they aren’t in fighting games. So when that happens, I usually like to write a blog about the characters, and so we’ll do that here. Some slight story spoilers here and there, just to warn you, but the game HAS been out since 2012.
So I guess I won an award from Snee for all this and many people felt like this year had a very fast BaD month. For me this month couldn't have gone slower, but maybe it's because after after about the 14th game or so...I lost that part of my conscience that tells you "Don't go and murder somebody!" Of course I'm ending where I started...with Data Design Interactive. Today is special for reasons that go beyond reality. I'm pretty sure that once you read this, my dying will....you'll understand why I decided to plunge myself into a padded cell at an asylum nearby. A special 3 for 1 on Myth Makers today!
Day 1: Today is the first day. I haven't played my Wii games in a while. I look at all the great titles I've bought. I see familiar faces of Mario, Metroid, and Zelda. A smile comes across my face. But I can't venture towards that shelf...no...this is a mission towards the crap I hid in my closet. I dust off my Wii and reconnect it. That familiar chime of the menu appearing before me. I see days of old...Check Mii Out, The Weather Channel, The Homebrew I installed to play foreign titles I bought off ebay...ah the nostalgia. I open up the closet and bust out the tote of bad games...still in alphabetical order...still just as bad. I sigh and fish out the game... There it is... Anubis II
Well it's almost here. I can taste it... February is coming and while I'm hardly a blogging savvant or any savvant for that matter...speaking of which I'm probably spelling savvant wrong, but I like to be fancy by using big words.
So today I decided I'd go and talk about a little hobby of mine. Most people do different hobbies. Some people collect stamps or coins. Some people knit. Me...I like to buy and play bad Wii games. Now this is a very odd hobby. I mean there are tons of shovelware titles for Wii...and I do mean a ton. These games can vary from lazy mini game compilations such as Carnival Games or licensed scholck such as Barbie and the Three Musketeers. If you've ever wondered what type of reaction you get when you buy a Barbie game in a store as a grown man...well I wouldn't know....I bought mine online to hide away my shame in the privacy of my home.
**NOTE: This is the start of what will be a long re-uploading and re-releasing/tweaking of my previous articles. This doesn't mean I won't have new material coming out as well, but if you see something strangely familiar, don't be alarmed - I'm simply getting my article archive put back out on the web for everyone's enjoyment :D
