It’s time for my “Best Video Games of 2025 Awards Show!” Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed. And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!
In the fall you get a lot of food with pumpkin flavors. I liked pumpkin flavored stuff before it was popular. But most of it now is just pumpkin spice. I really prefer just the plain old pumpkin flavor because pumpkin spice just tastes like nutmeg and cinnamon. Anyway, here are some pumpkin flavored reviews for you all. Please read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
I’ve grilled up a batch of game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com! As always, please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK, let’s dig in!
There’s a fishing game in Japan by Namco called Ace Angler, and you view the screen horizontally to the ground like you’re looking into a fishing pond. It’s pretty popular, and I think I even played it once at Round 1 arcade here in the US, or at least an imitation of it. And now you can play a home version of the arcade game on the Switch with Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits. It was available digitally in the US last year, but I imported a physical copy of it because I’m a freak about stuff like that. But the game is entirely in English so there’s no language barrier here. I asked for it for Christmas, but since imports can sometimes take a while, I actually didn’t get it until around Easter this past year. And I finally got around to playing it recently. The cool thing about the Switch game is that they made the arcade game like it has its own amusement park and aquarium. So it’s like a cross between a Namco Museum game (albeit for only one arcade game) and Animal Crossing. You even create your own avatar that looks like something out of Animal Crossing, and since I like the aquariums in those games, as well as Namco Museums in general, this game really ticked off a lot of boxes for me! The game says it’s Ace Angler’s 10th anniversary, which I didn’t realize it had been around that long! But anyway, let me take you on a tour guide through the Ace Angler Aquarium and Arcade Amusement Park found in the Switch Fishing Spirits game!
There are so many games on the SEGA Genesis Mini 2 that I had to split this blog into two parts. So make sure to catch last week’s installment if you missed it. Anyway, here we’ll go over the rest of the Genesis games as well as the unreleased stuff and SEGA CD titles. OK let’s begin!
Good morning Pixlpeeps from a cool morning here in Hawaii. Tomorrow will be two weeks since I got here and I have to say it’s been nice to just casually wake up and not have the stress of moving hanging over your head. I refuse to get on local time, so I’ve been getting up around 4-5am here which is 6-7am in California. It’s quiet, I open the window and you hear some of the neighbors in their cars going to work. During this time I started playing a new game that everyone is playing….Wordle.
Well it’s kind of a cloudy night here in what is usually normally sunny Southern California and here I am trying to remember which games I’ve played this past week. At this point my gaming revolves around the PC, iOS, and the Switch. I’ll explain why next week, which should be fun. Anyways before I forget let’s get started.
It’s Monday Night here so I’m still on track with my goals for 2022. Good evening Pixlpeeps! So more running around this past week along with today…seriously have you ever had a day where everything just isn’t clicking? That was today for me. Trying to get paperwork printed when printers didn’t work, when the printer did work, it didn’t read the usb stick, pick up other paperwork in a busy location, people not knowing how to drive in a parking lot and then the cherry on top was Panera getting my lunch wrong. It was that kind of day. I did however play some games when I did have time.
It’s 2022 and this is the first Monday of the new year. Good morning Pixlpeeps! There is a lot happening on my end right now so I’m a little (a lot) preoccupied with bigger things, but it is what it is. I did however say that I am going to be here more and it is the new year so I’m here. So a quick update of what’s been going on:
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a breezy Monday here in Southern California and I finished breakfast and I am ready to update you good people on the things I played or at least tried to this past week. I played a handful of stuff some new and some are my usual so let’s get started.
I've actually been playing a lot, thanks to the Genesis Mini (even booted up the SNES Mini to play Secret of Mana yesterday), GameFly, and Yakuza, so I'm just going to dump brief takes on all the games I've been playing.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a cool and cloudy Southern California morning and there is no shaking. So last weekend we had a couple of earthquakes, small earthquakes but shakers none the less. And we had a really quick (like 2 second shake quick) afershock on Sunday. It rumbled before it hit so as I was looking through some cards, I yelled “Earthquake” and while the world was shaking I grabbed another pile of cards to look through until the shaking stopped. Fun, right? Ok let’s recap the games I played:
A couple of years ago, Nintendo made a big splash with their NES Mini and SNES Mini consoles. Now SEGA is joining the bandwagon with a mini version of their most popular console, the SEGA Genesis. But there have already been mini Genesis consoles with pre-loaded games on them, and Genesis collections on consoles, so what’s the big deal with this one? Well, mainly SEGA is making this one themselves, and they’re taking Nintendo’s approach to how they include which games will be on it. So what does that mean? Well you’ll just have to find out in this blog series. We’re going to take a look at the games on this mini console, but there are so many that we are going to split this up into three sections, one a week this month. For this first part, we’ll take a look at the Genesis Mini itself, and a few of the expected games on it. Don’t worry, we’ll get to the good stuff soon!
I ran through half a dozen games on Original Xbox today to see which ones I wanted to keep. Then I joined my friend playing Minecraft on Xbox One and got seriously lost in the world. I managed to knock off a few more achievements though.
The end of summer is almost here, so let’s have one last big summer fling with some game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on as many links as you can, and maybe even post a comment or like or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK, let’s begin!
These are my water element Skylanders from the SuperChargers game.
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!
As you know, I recently purchased a new computer, which is decently powerful and runs games well enough for my liking. Since I got a decent CPU this time, an Intel one, and not a shitty AMD one that can’t do shit, I decided to give the Dolphin Emulator a go, and boy am I glad I did.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I know you good people are at some point going to buy some Powerball tickets. Last weekend I bought a couple and there were some crazy lines at gas stations. Heck even my little hole in the wall liquor store started getting some foot traffic. I went there because my pops in Hawaii wanted to play his numbers. Anyways I’ll probably buy one ticket today, and one on Wednesday for myself and the same numbers for my pops. When not playing the impossible odds of the multistate Powerball, I knocked two games off Mt Backlog and another two I decided I no longer want to play anymore, and continued on with some other games.
Played more Gears of War: Judgment today after watching the Eagles lose by one point to the Dolphins. Thankfully Gears was fun, because the game wasn't.
Pixlpeeps what is going on? It has been crazy weather here in normally sunny SoCal was warm during Halloween weekend, and then last night it got really windy and cool. For you East Coast folks, its 70 degrees and I wore my new sweatshirt.
