Yep, some more. Seems to never end, but who wants it to. I played my routine games and several others after that.
I was thinking about blog ideas and it got me looking at my collection. I sorted through my demo discs which I've kept all these years, and it led me on a quest to revisit the Original Xbox. It will be 20 years in November since its release. That will make it like a classic car. I'm going to start with the demo discs of a particular year (the ones I have) and then play a game or two. I've even acquired a few new ones I haven't played before. Should be fun for my weekday gaming. So here's a demo disc I have from around the launch day, I believe, November 2001.
So with the mention of Lego games in a post here, I thought I ought to get back to my plan of playing every single Lego game to completion. It's a big task. I have 24 games on my list. Some I've played before but didn't complete like Lego The Hobbit. This one, Lego Star Wars II I've actually finished before but within the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga. I figure, since I somehow own Lego Star Wars II on Xbox One, I'd start (or restart) here.
I am now digging into my Disney Infinity figures. I'm starting with the first game, the first wave of characters, and then by each major movie franchise. The first Disney Infinity featured six main movie tie-ins that had their own areas in the game and then one or two characters from other films just for fun. This first picture is of the Pirates of the Caribbean characters I have.
I got lazy on Friday, and then again on Saturday, and one more time on Sunday so the Quick Hits didn't get written. Instead I will just combine the pickup portion with today's What Did I Play blog because that's how I'm feeling today.
So over the Thanksgiving Holiday I really didn't play much in terms of console games because I was spending time with the family, usually in front of the television watching sports (I see what you did NFL Schedulers having the Cowboys play the Indians on Thanksgiving.) When I did try something non tablet based I ended up having to reinstall the game, but more on that later on. Anyways let's review what I played during Thanksgiving.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! We have been in March for a couple of days and it is time to do a look back at what I played in February.
Good Morning and Happy June Pixlbit Nation! I hope you good people had a good weekend, spending time with those games you’ve been dying to play during the week, and maybe exploring some new stuff. Since it is the beginning of the month (today my Lego Imperial Shuttle will finally be available in stores so hopefully Target has it so I can price match at Toys R Us, and get the points)
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.
Well hello and Happy Friday Pixlbit nation! The crazy weather is staring me in the face and I don’t want to go outside. The temperature in my little part of Sunny Southern California a couple of days ago. It's more of the same currently
Well Good Morning good people of the Pixlbit Community! Hope the weekend was good and filled with tons of gaming, and you might have knocked a couple of games from your backlog/pile of shame. So here we are on a breezy Monday morning (it’s an odd 81 degrees, and quite breezy here in Sunny SoCal). I’d like to say I tried out a bunch of games but let’s be honest I’ve been playing a ton of MLB The Show with Video Game Chris is near the end of his first full season in the majors chasing the triple crown. It’s getting tough because every pitcher on the planet is throwing low pitches and the slider is eating me alive. I saw this last week and I thought I would share it with you good people
Well, another Super Bowl has come and gone. It’s almost like a national holiday now. And like most national holidays, I have a tradition. And for Super Bowl, my tradition is talking about the commercials in a blog. Now, I know you can watch them all on YouTube now, but it just doesn’t feel right to me. Plus, I just like commercials period. Yeah, I know, I’m weird. But anyway, here’s my play by play commentary on this year’s Super Bowl ads!
Before I begin this week’s blog, I hope you all had a safe Memorial Day, and took a moment to remember those who passed on while serving the United States.
Hello Pixlbit! As I type my latest entry we had a minor shaker here in SoCal, and it was a 5.1. Not bad and the running joke among my friends is that you know who’s from here when an Earthquake hits, and they don’t get up. In fact during this shaker, I continued working on a project on Photoshop.
Who brought the Russian meteorites down
Disney-Pixar’s Brave was a charming movie. It tells the story of a strong minded princess who would rather go on adventures than worry about her womanly duties. Tied into this story is one about family, bravery, and defining one’s own fate. The movie hit the marks it needed to, and for me at least, left no desire for expansion. That fact comes across pretty loudly when playing the movie tie-in game, also titled Brave. While it executes well as a (very) basic game, it ultimately comes off as a boring, and pointless adventure.
This is a blog series I wrote last year. I’m bringing it to PixlBit in preparation for the next episode of PixlTalk, wherein the Tri-Force crew talks about the future of video games.
During an interview with Addict of Fiction at the London Super Comic Convention, Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee revealed that he will be playable in the upcoming Spider-Man movie tie-in game, The Amazing Spider-Man.
The Amazing Spider-Man film is coming July 3 and its video game tie-in now has a release date. According to Game Informer, Spidey's next adventure will be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, 3DS and DS on June 26, 2012. A trailer featuring one of the villians in the game, Rhino, can be seen below.
