I used to, back in the 90s, be into getting classic board games to play on video game consoles. There was Risk and Monopoly on Genesis that both played very close to the originals. So I looked for others and one that landed in my collection was The Game of Life for Playstation. I had played the board game back in the 80s and thought it was pretty neat. Last night I played the video game version and was less impressed.
Ok, there's still more E3 shit to cover, but fuck that. I've been playing things, watching things, and just all round have some things to say. I'll get back to E3 tomorrow, because there are still some seriously interesting games to cover, but for now, let's talk about games that are out.
Today I took back the game room for 3 hours and enjoyed some time with my new PS4.
So They announced these beautiful systems for Japan and most recently for Europe yet they have not decided if they will bring them here
I just played this Playstation game. It's by Climax Entertainment, a Japanese company that did thie Shining in the Darkness RPG - go figure. Felony 11-79 is a racing game with destructible environments. That's why I got it - sounds like Burnout. Well, you are given a mostly linear route through city and country (kind of like Road Rash) and have to navigate it, picking up items, and, I think, crash into things, , . Or not crash into things, I'm not sure only that it keeps track of how much damage you've done.The more important thing though is time. You have a timer that counts down and you have to get to the end of the route before it ends. It also keeps track of your overall time, but I don't know why because if you don't beat the countdown timer, the game doesn't save your overall time. I don't get it. Plus if you crash a lot, and that's really fun - driving through a mall or hotel is not to be avoided - you lose a lot of time which made me lose against the countdown timer, thus no reward. I don't get that either.
Hey folks, I’ve got another batch of game reviews over at GamerDad.com that I’ve written and posted lately. So here are some links and things. 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!
So I know I'm late to the party. I'm just now getting into Destiny. I haven't played it since the beta before they launched it. I'm liking it so far. I got a one time use consumable to level to 25 but I haven't used it because I just started and I figured I should try to learn the basics. I'm playing on Xbone and my tag is LadyLevana1989.
I wanted to run through all three Xbox systems today (Monday) at Mark's place but I couldn't get Metal Slug 4 + 5 to load right on the original Xbox. I think it was due to my TV having too high a resolution because the game came up with doubled images and without color. That happened to me before with a Wii Virtual Console game. With that one I changed some settings and it was fine but not this time. My TV doesn't have manual resolution settings that I could find. So I'll play it at home on my older TV.
We all play games here, and I'm willing to bet that the higher percentage of people here are aslo pretty good at them. Maybe you can hip shot and tear a room of campers apart while reading the paper in an FPS. Perhaps you can drift and powerslide your way to victory lane in the likes of MarioKart better than Vin Diesel. Could be you're the spiritual video game successor to the likes of Ryu or Heihachi Mishima. Whatever the game, you have prowess that few others have. So I ask you, which game do you make others your bitch?
Before I did anything today (Sunday), I set up my original Xbox next to my 360 and XBO. I think it’s funny to have all three generations of Xbox hooked up at the same time. Here’s a lousy pic of the rig:
Well since buying my PS4 yesterday I've had to buy a few more things. The E3 sale + the 20% discount on my first PS4 PSN purchase netted me this.
Holy fucking bejeezus there were some cool games at E3. It's actually terrifying how many games I need to talk about, but talk about them I will.
I ran into a $3500 windfall this morning so I decided to complete my update to current gen. Here's today's pickup.
It's been about 3 years or so since I last posted on here and thought that it was a good time to start the blog again. One thing I'm sure we can all agree on is that games have changed a lot in these past 3 years. For example, Until Dawn was definitely a masterpiece in the survival horor/butterfuly effect style of games with the amount of positive reviews it received.
Good morning Pixlpeeps and Happy Friday! For me the weekend is here and I am ready to once again do nothing but be lazy, rip records, and maybe do some cleaning. Oh and there is another WWE pay per view that I will watch along with episode 9 of Game of Thrones. You know episode 9, something big happens and a big name character, or characters get killed off. Anyways let’s get started with another Quick Hits!
HELLO EVERYONE!!!! It's Friday, so it's time to learn something new!!!!
I thought I'd post this picture of my games up on the two bookshelves I bought last week. This is after the several purges I made for games to trade. I managed to add a few more bucks to the XBO purchase I needed to get my long time gaming buddy Mark to join the current generation. I also traded in older stuff Gamestop wouldn't take to my local game store and picked up Tales of Zestiria for PS4. Pics below:
