Well I got back from PAX earlier this week, and I just got finished writing my PAX articles for GamerDad.com.  So here’s a short blog with links to the write-ups so you can see what games I played and things I saw and took pictures of.  Sorry that I’m not posting any of the pictures and articles here.  I went as a member of the media for GamerDad.com, so I figured my articles would need to be there only.  Anyway, I sure would appreciate it if you all were able to click on and read the articles and stuff.

Well folks, this weekend I’ll be heading down to Seattle for PAX!  I’m really looking forward to it.  At least for a few days throughout the year, I can do what I feel I was MEANT to do.  Anyway, please pray that I have a safe trip there and back.  When I do get back, you can check out my PAX Prime impressions at GamerDad.com.  I’ll post links to all my PAX articles at the end of next week here so you can click on them and read them.  Sorry it’ll take that long, but I have to actually write the articles first and arrange and edit pictures.  Plus I still have to go to work during the day.  But in the meantime, here are some links to games reviews I’ve written in the past month or so.  Please click on and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two!  I’d really appreciate it.  Thanks so much for reading all my blogs and reviews!

One of the games I got recently was Dragon’s Crown on the PS3.  It seems like it would probably be a better fit on the Vita, but since I only have a PS3, I’ll just be happy with that version!  I thought it might be fun to write a little bit about the characters you can control in the game, so here’s a short blog about the fighters you can play as.  I was in a silly mood when I wrote this, so be warned!

Very few video game characters get their own cartoon show.  And even fewer get multiple shows based on their electronic adventures.  I think only Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man have pulled that last feat off, maybe Street Fighter if you count the anime toons.  And now, Pac-Man has done the very same thing.  All through this summer, the classic arcade dot and ghost muncher is starring in a brand new computer animated cartoon series called Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, airing on Disney XD.  As a huge Pac-Man fan, you KNOW I’d be writing about it sooner or later.  So here it is!

Well the summer is winding down, and so is the summer movie season.  So in honor of that, here’s a rundown of the movies I saw this summer.  Slight spoiler warnings here and there, but I promise I won’t reveal too much.

About a month ago, Nintendo brought out a massive update to the 3DS StreetPass Mii Plaza program, and added four games in addition to Puzzle Swap and Find Mii I & II.  I’ve been able to try these games with some StreetPass tags I’ve gotten over the past month at meetups and whatnot, so now I’m ready to properly talk about these titles.  So here are some quick, fun little reviews of each game!

This past week was kind of rough on me.  My grandmother passed away last week so over the weekend I was in Alabama for the funeral and stuff.  She was really talented and artistic, and she was even a gamer, too!  So I wrote a blog because I wanted to brag about her.  I hope you get a chance to look at it, as well as some other reviews I’ve written over the past month.

This year marks the 30^th Anniversary of the Famicom, the Japanese equivalent of the NES in the US.  To celebrate, Nintendo has offered one Virtual Console Wii U game each month for only 30 cents!  They’ve done this for a few months now, and the last 30 cent game was just released.  I’ve bought them all, as it was such a great deal.  So in this blog, I thought I’d take a quick run through of the games in this promotion.  Now, keep in mind that most of these games you can’t get for 30 cents anymore, as each game sale only lasts for a month.  But I’m going to take a look at each one anyway!

For my last blog in my series on the characters in Project X-Zone, an action-strategy RPG on 3DS, we’ll look at the cast from SEGA’s games.  Of all the three companies’ games listed in Project X-Zone, I probably know the least about the SEGA roster.  So this will be a rather short and uninformative blog.  Maybe some of you folks can fill in the gaps for me in the comments section? 

Even though Namco Bandai is my favorite video game company, of the three game makers featured in Project X-Zone, I’m probably more familiar with the Capcom roster in this 3DS action strategy RPG featuring heroes and villains from Namco Bandai, Capcom, and SEGA’s games.  Since last time we looked at the Namco Bandai characters found in Project X-Zone, this time we’ll look at the Capcom ones.
