I have a replacement for my Envy on it's way from Toronto. If it shows up with any defects then I might be tempted to go Alienware.
Guys, read the title. The Nioh demo is actually amazing. Firstly, I've been playing for 5 hours and haven't finished it, so right there it's longer than some triple A games. Granted, some of that is due to the fact that this game is harder than Gary Glitter in an orphanage, but still.
You know, there are a lot of Nintendo franchises that I really like, such as Kirby, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Metroid, etc. And there are some that I don’t like as much, but I don’t hate either. Star Fox is one of those franchises. But for as indifferent as I am about Star Fox, I’ve ended up playing every game in the series, so I guess I at least like it a little bit. So in honor of the recent release of Star Fox Zero, I thought I’d go through all the Star Fox games and give my quick impressions and personal experiences with each one. I’m not really rating each of these games on this list, although if I had to say, the first three here would be my favorites. So hop into your Arwing and let’s take an intergalactic tour of all the Star Fox games!
On Tuesday I finally decided that the laptop I was given by my new employer just wasn't cutting it. 250 GB SSD is not big enough to hold all the virtual machines I need and shared video ram wasn't working for my VPN sessions with my customers unless I moved the slider all the way over to performance which really screws up the video quality.
Finally got a couple more games for the PS3 my older brother was so very kind to give to me a while back. Ni no Kuni's one of them and it feels good to see it with my own two eyes and not it be from a youtube video. Also got WWE 2K16 and it's a marked improvement from last year's game. In retrospect, I probably should've waited to get this game instead but was too impatient. Besides, I needed something to clear the hurdle of getting free shipping from Amazon, though there were some better options available.
So apparently Humble is doing a Nintendo bundle consisting of Wii U and 3DS titles. Im kind of shocked. I didnt think Nintendo would allow this sort of thing, the selection isnt terriably bad either. I might keep an eye out and see before it ends if I really want it.
I was looking for the Metal Slug Anthology on PS2 or Wii today at Jay Street Video Games but all they had was 4 and 5 on Xbox, so I got that with some discount for trade-ins. Here's a pic:
Well, so much for the "Cleaning up My Vita" idea. Over the past couple weeks I have been trying out a lot of my PS+ games, but if I am not feeling them within 30 minutes, I delete them. I know that it could be percieved as being a little unfair, but I should know early on if I am going to like a game or not. Let's see if I can remember some of the games that just weren't for me. A Virus named Tom was one of them, and Flame Over, Nova-111, Shutshimi, Nihilumbra, Actual Sunlight, Rocketbirds, and Nidhogg come to mind. I also played through Organ Trail once, they made some design choices that made me think the iOS version was better. I have also added to my endless Vita backlog. Recently, I have downloaded Helldivers, Risk of Rain, A Boy and His Blob, Tachyon Project and Axiom Verge.
Well Happy Tuesday to you good people of Pixlbit! I am back from a three day weekend where I went exploring around Southern California, took a couple of pictures, saw some things, and had a trip down memory lane when I went to visit the little farming town where I grew up. I saw my old house, school, and surprisingly I still remember the phone numbers and addresses of my old house and my grandma’s house. I thought about maybe taking the 3DS with me to at least collect some coins because there was a lot of walking but it never left the house. Oh well. There really wasn’t any real gaming going on until yesterday around lunch when I decided to fire up a game I bought on Saturday while sitting on the freeway.
Started early yesterday with River City Random on NES. This is a brawler, but unlike most brawlers of the time, you feel surprisingly free to do what you want. I think it's from the variety of things you can do and places you can go. You can kick, punch and throw enemies; pick up items and use them as melee weapons or throw them. There's the usual street fighting stuff like sticks and chains, but there are also every day items like baseballs and just blocks of stone or building matterial. You move in a 2D side-scrolling world but you can open doors or enter passageways in the background and enter a park or shopping district. This gives the game a good illusion of being in a 3D world.
So when looking at many YouTubers I follow, I realized that a large chunk of them are ones not too many people I know talk about. So I thought I'd give them some recommendations along with a few better known ones that I feel deserve more attention than they get.
!Tested out my replacement Genesis controler on Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side today. Eternal Champions is a fine 1v1 fighting game. The graphics are nice and the music too. I just don't go for the 1v1 fighting games that much. I'd rather scroll through environments while I fight ala Final Fight. So onward.
Yeah, that is about it. Downloading it now. more to come.
$150 tax included. Used but seems to be in excellent condition. $150 CAD tax included
I went to play Doom's open beta today and it is done.
