Happy Easter everybody!  Easter is one of my favorite holidays.  As a Christian, I appreciate the religious aspects, but I also think the secular stuff is a lot of fun, too.  I enjoy decorating Easter eggs and all the bright pastel colors and Easter has some of the best candy out of any holiday (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t like candy).  So I’ve got some Easter treats for all of you!  New game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad!  Yay!  Please click on as many links as you can and maybe even post a comment or two.  I’d appreciate it!  OK let’s begin!

Pixlbit Army I know Tuesday can’t hold you back, how are you good people doing? For you East Coasters continue to stay warm. Currently it is a nice 46 degrees here in abnormally warm Sunny Southern California, and today I continue with my Game Library. For today I want to write about my favorite handheld ever, the Playstation Portable. There was a lot of hate towards the Playstation, but I felt it was an awesome handheld that could a number of things, kind of like the preview to the tablets and smart phones we have today. Yes I know Microsoft had a tablet around the same time but seriously who bought that thing? The PSP was my all in one media device, it played games, it played mp3s (this was before my mini-disc and phone that played mp3s), it could play movies…if you converted them to whatever proprietary Sony format, and it could go online. The online portion was rough, like 56k rough. All it was missing was that connecting sound.

Pixlbit Happy Tuesday! For you East Coasters again Stay Warm! As the Blog A Day rolls on it is time to get back to my Game Collection blogs. For today I am going to skip around a bit and go with one of my favorite handhelds that seems to get a lot of hate because of a perceived “lack of games”, and that is the Sony Vita. At first I was a little hesitant to purchase a Vita because of the nub problems I had with the PSP. I loved the PSP but the nub issues soured me a bit but I think once I either buy replacement nubs for both PSP’s (1000 and 3000 versions) I’ll be happy.

Pixlbit Nation, how are you? Currently in what is normally sunny Southern California, it is 59 degrees and there is some rain, which means in Southern California: IT’S STORM WATCH 2015. Yes SoCal can’t handle weather that isn’t hot and not hot. While browsing through the internets I saw that Dr. Dre Beats Mixr’s were on clearance at Target for $70 so naturally I had a reason to visit Target…other than buying eggs. It turns out they are still full retail so I left with my eggs and I am currently enjoying Taco Bell’s Bacon Crunchwrap (the Octagon shaped flat burrito) and I writing a new Quick Hits! Let’s get started!

Hey Pixlbit. Just wanted to give you readers a quick heads up about TRU's clearance sale that's currently going on. At my local store, there's tons of games that were clearanced out to make room for newer games. Depending on the color of the price tag will tell you how much percentage you will get off the original price. I only paid attention to the green and blue price tags because that gives you 70% off the game.

Hello Pixlbit! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. It's been a while since I posted something on here. I just came back from vacation. Went to visit some family from The Bay and just drove around the city. Anyways, as many of you know Watch Dogs released today! I've been excited about this game since the announcement. I was bummed out when they first delayed it and continued to delay it. Now it's here! To tell you the truth, the game is great but all the hype that everyone gives it doesn't do it justice. Don't get me wrong, I love free roam adventure games but this game is just a modern free roam with hacking abilities. That's just my little input on it though. Don't let my judgement cloud your thought of buying it. I'm still enjoying it and there's just so much to do. Maybe I'm saying all this now because I haven't even completed the first chapter and I've put in around 3 hours already. So there's so much to do around the city.

What Is Chris Playing, And Another Falls From Mount Backlog

Well hello Pixlbit! It’s a breezy Tuesday here in SoCal and we had a time change? Sounds cool, right? An extra hour of sleep, but my body thought it would be funny to wake up an hour before my alarm goes off (I guess I’m still used to my old schedule). Since I was wide awake, I thought I’d do some racin’. Last weekend I decided that I was going to dive into the newly created lime green section of Mount Backlog by playing some 360 games, as well as finish off a certain Lego game. Well I did both and here are my thoughts about it.

June was not a very good month for games (for me). As you'll see, I didn't have much time to play anything. We moved at the beginning of the month and things didn't let up much after that.

Hello Pixlbit! While adding my recent thrift store purchases to iTunes, something hit me. If I were to pick five songs to listen to on an island what would they be? After thinking about this and how we can make it video game worthy. So I came up with this: I’m stuck on an island for a year. During this time I can have only five of the following until I decide I need to create a raft and leave my island, or just wait for rescue.

The latest in the Lumines series brings light gameplay enhancements and gorgeous visuals.

Given the overwhelming success of Lumines on the PSP, as well as all of its subsequent releases on other platforms, it's not particularly surprising to see a new edition of the title on the PlayStation Vita at launch. Little has changed since the first rendition of the game, but Lumines: Electronic Symphony still packs quite a punch thanks to the sharp visual fidelity of the Vita and the well-tailored soundtrack.

Some call it Zen, I call it boring.

I find reviewing The Undergarden to be a difficult prospect; it’s another game added to the growing catalogue of independently published games focusing more on the presentation and visual design of the world rather than story or character development. While the other games in this genre, Braid or Limbo for example, try to throw in some complex puzzle interaction The Undergarden instead goes a different route, marketing itself as a “Zen Game”.
