Can you believe the Nintendo 3DS was released 8 years ago in 2011? I don’t like calling a game system ‘dead,’ because I feel a game console in only dead if you don’t play it. But the 3DS is certainly at the end of its retail life cycle, as Nintendo isn’t making any more games for it, focusing solely on the Switch now. So when a game console or handheld reaches that point in its life, I like to write a blog or two highlighting the best games for it (or at least the ones I really liked). So here are some blogs about the best games on the 3DS! There were SO many that I had to split it into two parts. The first part we’re going to go over my favorite downloadable games, along with some other features of the 3DS I really liked.
I don't know why, but as I got tired of playing just about everything, I've been somewhat revived by puzzle games.
It was pretty much all about games and films this year for me. I got so into games, I started blogging at 1UP. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but clearly I got hooked. Five years later, and I haven't stopped. I guess I'll do another five.
Happy Thursday good people of the Pixlbit Empire, how are you doing? For some odd reason my body decided to wake up at 4:50am earlier this morning for now reason. When I decided to browse the Internets on the iPad the Internet was down and wasn’t running up until maybe 20 minutes ago when I reset the FiOS router. Everything is now good and I can continue to take part in Blog A Day. For today’s entry I’ve decided to take a small break in all the Playstation love and not show my original Playstation games and instead hold that for next week which I am calling BaDBonuses because I still have a couple of consoles I have yet to talk about.
2014 was a great year for me, and a great year for gaming. Lots of great games! Daftman suggested to me that I make a list of games to beat for the year, so that's what I did. Actually, I made two lists: one for games I beat, and another for games I bought. I won't bore you by telling you the 73 games I bought last year; many of them were old games 'cause I love old games and used many of those for Retro Game of the Week. Some were fairly recent and just a few of them were new. Anyways, I beat 24 games in 2014, easily the most games I've ever finished in a year. They were all good games, worthy of being finished. Here they are, in the order in which I beat them.
Today I got deep into Silent Hill. So much so that I beat the game. Then I downloaded Tales from Monkey Island from PSN and played a few hours of that. I think adventure gaming puzzles are a real pain and should be easier, or at least have a hint system, not as generous as Professor Layton, but generous like the remake of Secret of Monkey Island (which I still got stuck in even with the generous hints - see how puzzle-challenged I am).
It’s that time again. What I like to do this time of year is write about the best games of the year. Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! Plus I do apologize if this list leans toward the Nintendo side. I don’t have an Xbox One or PS4 yet, so you’ll just have to deal with it.
Finally we get to the meat of the year, the games that came out in 2014 that I actually played.
Hey, everybody. I know I've been pretty much MIA except for the odd comment. November was a busy month and December is even crazier. I just finished a 60-hour week at work and have two more of those to look forward to. That's why we're nearly done with the first week of December and I'm just now posting the November recap. Let's get to it!
Hey Everyone! Can't believe it is almost the end of September already!
Hey folks. Monday, September 15, is my birthday! So to celebrate, here’s a fun blog and a quiz! We’re going to do the whole ‘pretend birthday party’ thing like I do every year, so if you’re interested, keep reading! (Yes this is kind of a filler blog, but I don’t do too many of those, so don’t worry.)
Well Happy Friday good people of the Pixlbitland! I hope everyone is doing well, and looking forward to the weekend. I’m excited because College Football is officially back! It started with last week’s game, but over the past couple of days it has been non stop college football, and this Saturday my Aztecs take on Northern Arizona. Here’s to another year where the football team goes bowling, Basketball makes the NCAA Tourney, and Baseball goes back to the post season.
Have not started playing it yet (downloading it now) but was wondering if anyone else was planning/does have it yet and tried it?
After a very productive May, June was slower on the games front. We took two little trips during the month (yay, vacation!) and while I did play games during that time, it was mainly just party and multiplayer stuff, which doesn't do much for my backlog.
Actually, I seek my next game and I can't make up my mind.
Both Indy and Layton are professors, but one fights with his fists outside of class and the other prefers a battle of wits; one wields a whip and gun and the other a brain. I think I wanted Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy to be more like an Indiana Jones graphic adventure like the LucasArts games.
And another edition of this little every-other-day piece of crap that I call the BrokeLeg Blog, well..on account of having a broken ankle.
I thought I'd take an intermission and do something a bit different than the BrokeLeg Blog.
