I've chosen ten games from the Metacritic best of list to start my OG Xbox journey. Here they are.
It's time to run down the list of GameCube games on Metacritic. It's fun and brings up memories and helps me decide what stays in my collection and what I need to pick up. Here goes.
I only have a few here I put on my must-play list, but I like to look at everything anyway and perhaps try something new if I can find it for cheap enough. Remasters are also of interest since sometimes they vastly improve the experience. So this is Metacritic's top PS2 games 26-50 with comments.
Alongside my PS2 gaming is also me trying to play the handheld out at the time, GBA. I've had trouble getting to it, but this week I got super sidetracked on GBA games. I also touched on PS4 and XSS and bought a bunch of stuff both digitally and at my game stores.
I'm going down the Metacritic list for PS2 and seeing what might be worth trying out. Journey along and see the sights.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It’s been a minute but I’m back, and how about that we get an extra day in February. Well it’s been a different couple of weeks where it’s either been cold and rainy, really warm, and now windy in Vegas, but either way I like it. I do wish we had more snow this year but I think that’s over now. Anyways let’s go into what I’ve been playing and what I finished.
It’s raining, I just finished my sixth book of 2024 Reading Challenge on Goodreads, and I am ready to throw down my random thoughts about whatever I played this past week and a half…GOOD MORNING PIXLPEEPS! Alright let’s see what I remember playing
Well Good Morning Pixlpeeps! I just finished breakfast and I thought I would update you all on the games I’ve been playing.
The past couple of months I really haven’t been buying any games. You would think with the Stay At Home order I would have stocked up on some new titles but I didn’t, yet now right before Thanksgiving I am kind of on a run and there is another one I want that is going to be released in a couple of weeks. Anyways more on that stuff hopefully this Friday and for now let’s talk about the stuff I’ve actually played.
(Apparently I forgot to hit Live. Ooops. Have a good night!)
You would think that since I have more time for games I would mix in more games into my routine but that is not the case. I’ve been alternating my free time like this: one day I’ll do nothing but sort my music files, add songs to my music player, etc. The next day I will do nothing but sort through my trading cards, doing a priliminary weeding out of copies and then do something else. Actually I know I have a couple of hockey boxes floating around somewhere that I need to find. Those days usually alternate with a random Netflix binge watch, WWE Network binge watch, or my favorite I build a little pillow fort, stick my head inside and take a nap. Here’s the games I’ve actually been playing:
Ok so I am currently on my couch on a Monday night and I thought it would be a good time to type out my thoughts about what I have been playing this past week. I’ve spent some time with my new toy/emulator machine and I can give some thoughts about that. Let’s get started before the commercial ends and it’s back to me yelling out letters on Wheel Of Fortune.
Welcome to the 7th Annual Chris Goes Awards Show, but since it’s the end of a decade I’m going to skip some numbers (it worked for the iPhone, it’ll probably work here) and go for the my best of the decade. A little disclaimer here: I can’t remember what I played during the early part of the decade but there are games that stood out to me so I’m going to call them the Best of the Decade. Sound good? Let’s get started!
Before I get things going I’d like to update you good people on what I have been playing…spoiler it’s the same couple of games. Yeah I’m boring like that where I’ll casually play some stuff and then go about my day. Actually I should do a combo blog because I have other things planned for Friday (if I actually write out what I want to share) anyways let’s get started
Before I go on any trip where I won’t be sleeping in my own bed that night I go through this weird phase where I want to bring all these random things for me to do, to keep me busy because I don’t want to be bored. I’ve always done this and it happened again when I went to Vegas. At one point my carry-on bag consisted of the Switch, the 3DS XL, the Vita, and the mini laptop filled with every emulator and rom from the 8-16 bit era. This isn’t including the iPad that had a bunch of games, the Android tablet that is all books, with all the same stuff as the mini laptop, the phone, and the Android Music player that had basically all the same stuff as the mini laptop. This isn’t including the video content, the Spotify Downloaded Music Playlists, and digital books. Crazy, right? I knew I wasn’t going to use all of this but still I had this weird obsession but I finally paired it down to the mini laptop, the iPad, the Switch, my phone, and the Android Music player. Guess what I used the most on the entire trip? The stupid Android Music Player that surprise I listened to a bunch of Podcasts that were downloaded.
Last week I decided to connect my Switch Dock to the TV and give the Switch a try on the big screen for a week to see how I like it. I like it but this opened up another door of gaming, here’s why: I have a couple of HDMI ports on the TV, so awhile ago I bought this switcher that adds three extra slots and takes up one HDMI slot on the TV. Plugged it in, connected the USB cable to the TV’s USB to power it and I was back to a couple of years ago when I had a bunch of stuff connected. In this one slot I have my Switch, the return of the 360, and the PS4. I have those connected along with the PS3 and I’m golden but like I said it opened up another door.
So I’m trying to get back on track and finish 2019 strong by keeping up with my blog posts. I finished breakfast, have a couple of minutes to jot down my ramblings and see what I can remember playing over the past week or so. Sound fun? Let’s go!
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! Before I grab some breakfast let’s go over what I did and didn’t play this past week. I got a new toy this weekend so I didn’t spend a lot of time gaming but more on that on Friday, but for now let’s get started.
It is almost the end of January which means BaD is coming back and to be honest I have no idea what I am going to write about. I thought about just posting random pictures and have you good people of Pixlbit think there’s some kind of connection but really it was just me posting random pictures. As funny as I think that would be I won’t do it, and I’ll probably do something else. Anyways we’ll worry about that February 1st. Ok so I’ve actually been gaming a bit the past couple of weeks, especially after I had a dream where I used my 3DS as a basketball and broke it. Odd but I blame it on the cough drops. Like I said on Friday I had some stuff come up so I didn’t upload my blog then but I will give a quick run down of what I played, and what I played after that, so I do kind of have a plan. Let’s get started!
At this point in 2018 I should start focusing in on finishing up any random games I started earlier in the year so I can jump on new games for 2019. In a way I am kind of doing that but at the same time I am saving some games I bought during Black Friday to actually spend time with in a couple of weeks. So on Sunday I jumped into a game I haven’t touched in a couple of weeks because well I would like to finish it before new years.
So I just got back from Costco because I figured if I get there when it opens, I can breeze in an out with ease. Well me and apparently everyone else had the same idea but at least the little tasting stations weren’t setup yet so the grazers didn’t get a chance to leave their carts in the middle of the aisle. We are at the point in the year when you can tell who the locals are and who is from Canada. It was 69° degrees outside and the locals were dressed like it was snowing. The good people from Canada: shorts and a t-shirt. I was wearing a hockey jersey because it is cool enough to wear one outside. Anyways’s while I’m eating my fries let’s catch up with what I have been playing.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a cool Saturday morning here in sunny Southern California, and I am currently taking a break from Christmas music to catch up on podcasts that I didn’t get to listen to over the past week. Why? Well more on that in a bit, but here I am, a day late, a buck short (there was a problem with my pay so I have to wait a bit, but no big deal), and well at least it is Saturday right? Let’s get started.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I had a blog all ready to go on Friday but I scrapped it because I didn’t like it. I was going to do another on Saturday but didn’t so here we are. Instead of what I was playing, I will just do my Quick Hits because you don’t want to read about my exploits on NCAA Football 14 (Season 4 of the Duke Blue Devils and they are ranked #12 with a 4-0 record, and beating #8 Miami on a last second two point conversion), or how I got some PC games running including GTA V (I was running around with zero wanted level causing mayhem), so this QH will be all about voting! I’m kidding, and let’s be real we have all had enough of the constant ads, unwanted texts, and Chris trolling calls so instead let’s check out what Chris has been doing non gaming wise this week.
