It’s time to clean up with some reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK time to start cleaning!
2017 continued the blurry trend of recent years in flying by, and I continued my trend of attempting to play cool games, so let's talk about it. First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!
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.
Good morning Pixlbiticans! Monday is back, I’m not too happy because I felt that the weekend rushed by but it happens so here we are. I can’t complain, Monday has its charm and I am excited to start a fresh week even though the local weather gal said it was going to be 113° today so I need to hurry up and write down this latest blog so I can snap a couple of pictures before it gets way too hot…oh and I guess today is the big start of some conference about video games. I’m one of the folks who never actually wanted to go to E3. A couple of times I had the opportunity to, but standing in line to play a demo for a free shirt never appealed to me. I’d rather watch the Playstation presentation, and then either praise or complain about it on Twitter (for you folks who follow me on Twitter, I apologize in advance.)
Okay, here's the deal. I like doing top 10 lists. For some reason I got it into my head to do a series of top 10s about each year in the 2000's – because hey, that's when I truly became a gamer. I mean, I gamed before then, sure, but this was when I went from kid who plays games sometimes to kid who religiously buys Playstation magazines. And then reads them at school in his lunch break.
Pixlbit…What Is Up? It is Monday in a warm overcast Southern California, where there is Thunderstorms around the valley, which means it’s going to be a tad bit humid. Blah. Anyways so what is going on with you folks?
Evo 2014 happened last weekend, congrats to Justin Wong for taking out ChrisG and his awful Morrigan bullcrap. First up is Ken Masters, who doesn't like Ken although I heard that he was top tier/scrub material when Super Street Fighter IV can on the scene. I don't know what his status is now but I think its cool that somebody won USFIV tournament with Rose.
So the gaming world has een exploding off its seams with news nearly everyday. Normally the summer months are like that especially in a game drought so that people atleast stay interested. Not to mention we normally see conventions and other events like EVO pop up this time of the year so game announcements are regualar thing. These are some of whats recently been announced that I figured I would share! Lets begin!
With hundreds of new indie games spilling onto the scene each month, it's easy to overlook some of the more deserving but obscure titles. Thus, this blog.
Well hello good folks of Pixlbit! It is a breezy Wednesday here in sunny So Cal, but there are rumblings that there might be rain. RAIN! For you folks who actually get different types of weather, Southern California seems to go crazy during rain (I once watched a guy drive in the middle of two lanes when it was sprinkling), and my friend I like to mock the local news for their STORM WATCH 20XX coverage. Anyways getting back to Grab Back Week, today it’s all about the two Lego games I knocked off Mount Backlog and what I am playing.
Rising is a strange spin-off. In many ways it's the exact opposite of what people expect from Metal Gear Solid. But in other ways, it shares a lot in common with Metal Gear in how bizarre it is. From Raiden stabbing himself to prove how nuts he is to the final boss against professional wrestler Glenn Beck, this game is weird in so many good ways. But it's a different kind of weird, the Platinum Games weird. Yet, it actually fits really well with Metal Gear and ended up being second only to 3 in the series for me and my favorite of Platinum's games.
