It's fun to go down the Metacritic [MC] list, so I'm doing it again for the stuff I played in 2010.
2010 was certainly the year of the Wii even though it came out in '06. The top four spots for world wide sales are Wii games with Wii Sports being number 1. Microsoft and Sony tried to imitate Nintendo's success by putting out motion control devices this year with Kinect and Move respectively. Niether did much for thier respective systems. I started blogging this year at 1UP.com. Here are some stuff I played that I would replay and some stuff I missed I'd like to play.
I made a list of what I played in 2010. Here they are in chronological order.
Two things I disliked in games the last few days were niggly piggly exact platforming and stealth. Two things I liked in games this week were tough melee fighting and exploration.
It's not easy to share screen shots from Xbox. I have to capture video to get a shot that isn't greyed out at the bottom like it is for screenshots. Now i see they've also obscured the bottom section of the video with the progress bar. What on earth are they doing? Anyway, as best as I could, the screenshots I gathered from today's gaming.
Halochief90 got ahead of me in achievement points today. Only by 20, at first, so it gave me a goal to shoot for. The first easy achievement game on my list was Batman The TellTale Series. I had to download episode 4 first, though. Why this game downloads episodes one at a time instead of all at once, is a mystery to me. The files are small, though, so not too long a wait. In the meantime, I played some of my new retro game collections.
Today I played EDF Insect Armageddon and Kingdome Hearts III. Then I thought I'd share my plans for media in April.
Welcome, friends, to the next episode of Nerds Without Pants that was actually recorded before the PREVIOUS episode of Nerds Without Pants! Come join us on a time travelling romp with Mike Fallek. We have no topic, no agenda, so that means this is pure, unfiltered Fallek. Um, strap in.
In the second part of my look at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, we’ll go over the fighters on the Capcom side. I’m way more into video games (obviously, since I review them) than I am comic books, so hopefully I’ll sound a bit more knowledgeable here. So let’s dive right in. Oh yeah, some slight Story Mode spoilers here and there may happen, so you’ve been warned.
You know Monday is usually tough but after a four day break, it’s really rough to get everything going. I think I’ll get the hang of it come Wednesday. During that holiday break I was going to make some last minute progress in some games right before my Chris Goes All Awards Show blog but instead I played a ton of one game and that game is Injustice 2.
After seeing the films Inferno and Dr. Strange this weekend, I finally got some gaming in. I played through both volumes of Atari games on the XBO, probably a hundred games, and I put in some time with XCOM 2. Details below.
Project X-Zone 2 is a strategy RPG on the 3DS that stars popular video game characters from companies like SEGA, Bandai Namco, Capcom, and even Nintendo! Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve taken a look at the characters from each of the game companies in this title, and we’ll conclude this blog series by going over the characters on the Capcom side!
Kind of a bad year for me really. I was fighting what I found out later was carbon monoxide poisoning from my car. I had bad fatigue in my neck and eyes. Also I couldn't find a bed that let me sleep well at night. I finally got one I liked, but in the meantime, I had injured my back and I'm still not quite right even after a new workout routine, better diet and sleep. Ah life, sometimes it just up and tries to kill you. That being said, I did enjoy a bunch of media despite all that. Here's some selections.
I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the PS4 so far. The experience with the interface, PSN store downloads, and free games like The Crew, War Thunder have been pretty good. I need to check out Planetside 2 I suppose. I think the Free to play options are quite good for a new console purchuse, coupled together with PS Plus, its quite a good experience. I really wish that PS4 had more content though. I feel like some of their sale games on PSN are still too high, and I would love to have access to PSOne or PS2 games, or even PS3 games at this point.
I just haven't tried out Streaming yet which is my next test. Also Destiny plays like a dream, but I only played the demo and it's actually quite boring in my opinion. I like my horror and indie games, or JRPGs.
Turns out I remembered wrong in my 1991 blog. I was still in New York in 1992, but that summer, I returned to live in Pennsylvania. I had a few credits remaining to finish the college I had left early in '90, and took them at a school in my hometown. I took pottery in the first semester and was told I should stick with it. I still remember the homage I did to Dante's Divine Comedy: a maw swallowing many small human figures. I still have one piece I did, a rendition of the American Indian style meeting house (I forget the exact name for it) we had at the summer camp I went to in my teens.
Happy Tuesday Pixlbit. Today I thought I would go over the Playstation 3. I like my PS3, and even though I had problems with the original version, the second version I am using is a trooper. I think I got into the PS3 maybe a year or two after its release and I got to see it go from box that offered Linux, to no longer offering it, and to adding trophies. I wish I could say it was the first console I bought digital games for, but I think that goes to the PSP when I was buying Minis and DLC for Rockband. Anyways I do love this system, I still play it (I think I play it more than the PS4) and since GameStop is starting to blow out the games, the PS3 library might grow a lot more this year.
Good morning Pixlbit Nation, how are you on this fine Thursday morning? It is a cool 45 degrees here in sunny Southern California, and while I am enjoying a nice donut, I thought it was about time I talk about my absolute favorite console that I own, the Playstation 2. Let’s take a trip back to when I bought my Playstation 2. It was a year or so after it’s release (remember when everyone was hoarding them and trying to resell them on eBay?) Well I waited because I didn’t want to spend the crazy cash for it, and I was deciding on which console to buy, the X-Box, or the PS2. I loved the Playstation brand but I was willing to try something new, but it all came down to one thing: which one will play DVDs. See before this I had a DVD player but my brother moved into his own spot and I gave him my DVD player and watching on a computer monitor wasn’t the most ideal thing. The X-Box needed a separate remote in order to play DVDs and the PS2 not so much, so after class I went down to the local Walmart and bought a PS2. The first game I played on my new PS2? Madden 2002…for the original Playstation. Yeah I didn’t buy a PS2 game until the next week.
Well, I end up buying quite a bit in the last month and a half:
