Another mega-batch of games as I forge ahead and try to wrap up my 360 revisit. I'll stick with the physical games first.
In this post, I play some of the hack 'n' slash games after the Genesis/SNES era.
What I played this week and the various stuff I picked up on the cheap from the soon to be closed Xbox 360 store, some from Game 'n' DVD Exchange and from a new store I discovered called Just Press Play in Lancaster Pa.
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire retook the sales crown in 2003 making it five years since '98 that the franchise won it. Mario Kart Double Dash, a game I always wanted for its co-op but never got, was #2 in '03. Steam was fully released out of beta and Call of Duty began. Here are the games I'd like to play again or for the first time.
GameCube, GBA and Xbox were all released. Pokemon games won all sales awards across the board, again. Amongst the highest critically were: Halo, GTA III, Grand Turismo 3 and Final Fantasy X. Dreamcast was discontinued this year, which was probably when I got one on the cheap as GameStop started shipping them all back to their warehouses. I probably got a Xbox on the strength of Halo, Gamecube for the Rogue Squadron sequel, and a PS2 for the Red Faction port. Here's a bunch of games I played around that time, then alter, and then ones I'd like to play now.
While I was trying to stick to my retro game playing, my friend was still deep into Dishonored 2. As an assassin, he had lots of bodies to hide and it was funny to watch him fill up bathtubs and decorative ponds with them. Kind of gruesome but the physics of throwing a whole body around in this game is pretty funny.
While I dithered around in numerous games, my friend was playing Dishonored 2 exclusively and really enjoyed it.
...and I'm thinking about the first decade of the 2000s, 2000-2009. Here's a list of games I want to focus on this month when I'm not chasing rewards points or some new release.
On Switch. However it is not listed under Coming Soon yet which means absolutely nothing.
Here we are, February first and I've got nothing special for Blog-a-Day. Oh well, I guess I'll give it a try anyway, against my better judgment. The response to my earlier blog was pretty encouraging. So here's BaD #1!
MY HYPE FOR E3 IS OVER 9000!!!
I put all my physical Metal Gear games and strategy guides on my bed(because, that's what I do) and took some photos.
Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear series enjoys the distinction of being an icon that still resonates with the majority of the gaming community. Even if you've never played any of them, chances are you've at least heard of it by now. With all of the positive attention that the relatively recent Metal Gear Solid 5 has received, it’s easy to forget about the game that that could have potentially killed the series. And no-- it’s not MGS 2 (although I’ll never forgive it for those protracted conversations between Raiden and his nagging girlfriend). Nope, I'm referring to something much, much worse-- Snake's Revenge.
Hey there boys and girls. Santa Moth has presents for everyone. I bought the Humble Playstation bundle and really there was only one game in there I wanted which was RE 0 for PS4. I have the following keys to give away
Happy Friday! I want to start doing smaller blogs like this. My last blog was a monster one and it takes forever to put those together. Here are some pickups I recently got:
Everything Old Is New Again?
I started the year playing a number of older games, and with the release of RE0 soon and all the other remakes this year, it seems like the remake trend is becoming more normalized? I don’t have that much of an issue with this, because older games look terrible blown out on my HD TV, and so any little help to clean up good old games is appreciated.
