For the past couple of weeks now, I have been thinking about replaying Half-Life 2. This in turn got me thinking about gamses that I revisit on a regular or semi-regular basis. That is what I wanted to talk about today, games that we come back to and replay. Hopefully I will also have reason why I replay these games.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope the weekend treated you good people well, and it is time for another start to the week. This weekend there really wasn’t much in terms of gaming for me because I binged watched a ton of House of Cards, and I have three episodes left in the season. The reason I stopped watching is because I found the Godfather Epic on one of the HBO’s and if you haven’t seen it, the folks who released it chopped up Part II, and placed I and II in chronological order. The only thing that was missing was the end scene in Part II where Michael announces that he has joined the Army which angered Tom and Sonny. I forgot to mention that deleted scenes were added which add to the story (you see a young Hyman Roth.) During all this TV time I did manage to sneak in some games
You get three blogs in one today. It's just how long a gaming day I had. I guess, when I grow up, I won't have time for all this. I hope that day never comes, maybe.
Let me say up front that I didn't follow the Game Developers Conference as it went on this last week and I haven't had time to extensively look at what was there, but I did read about some cool stuff on USGamer. Most exciting for me was the big reveal of details on the third and final Zero Escape game. Now subtitled Zero Time Dilemma, looks like it's moving away from a straight visual novel with puzzles to something more akin to the Telltale style of adventure game, but without sacrificing the narrative focus of the series. It looks good! Most surprising, though, was that it's coming out June 28! The first game in the series, 999, was my favorite game I played last year but I haven't played the second game, Virtue's Last Reward, yet. I gotta get on that!
Well I did my weekly sweep of Targets near me and scored Lollipop Chainsaw for $10,Toy Story 3 (PSP) $4 and MGS (PSP) $4. I also stopped by Game Stop and grab Infinity 2.0 for $8.
I picked up the Nintendo Selects version of Pikmin 3 today, Devil Survivor 2 for 3DS and I'm probably going to pick up Never Alone from the eShop if it's cheap enough in Canada,
I love my Vita, in fact the Vita could be my favorite piece of hardware of all time. It plays a selection PSOne games, PSP games, console quality games and a crap-ton of indies. Essentially, the Vita plays all my favorite games.Shortly after I picked up my Vita, Best Buy had a deal of 32gb memory cards for $45. As I assume you know, that is a steal because the retail price for the 32gb is $99. Well, even with a 32gb memory card I have run out of space. I have over 60 games downloaded on my Vita at the moment, with plenty more on my download list and even more coming in the future. I know Salt & Sanctuary just came out on PS4 this week, but I would rather play it on Vita. Bastion, Axiom Verge, and Volume are in the same boat. I just prefer indie games on the Vita.
Pixlpeeps what is up? I am back again, its Friday and I am ready to do nothing but watch television and maybe play some games. How has the week been treating you? It’s been basketball week here with The Aztecs taking their frustrations out on Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons. I was hoping for a cool headline like Aztecs send Mastodons back to the Ice Age, but no such luck. Anyways it is also the NCAA Tournament and guess who I picked to win it all?
I got my Davy Jones figure today for Disney Infinity, but I couldn't resist picking up some Skylanders I didn't have on the 5-for-2 sale at Gamestop. Here's a picture:
So far, I have been able to track down all the Toy Story figures, one left to go with Cars and 3 for the Incredibles. The power ups are a work in process but I feel I will track them down.
I got a PS Vita for Christmas this past year. There are enough games on it that interest me now, but I guess it’s a little late since nobody is making new games for the Vita hardly anymore. But one of the games I wanted for the Vita was Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz. Luckily since it’s been out for so long, I was able to get it from Amazon for only 12 bucks! Which is good considering it’s not much different from past Monkey Ball titles, and they’ve been declining in quality anyway. But the first two Monkey Ball titles on the GameCube were great, so I always like to give the series a chance anyway, if the price is right. While the main game has you rolling around a monkey in a ball through mazes and obstacles, many of the Monkey Ball titles have fun mini-games, too. Banana Splitz included. So since I like to write about mini-games, here are all the mini-games you can find in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz for Vita.
I got bored today waiting for a doctor's appointment today, so I went to Gamestop and looked at figures. I know, I shouldn't do it, but I did. Luckily I didn't find what I wanted, but I did see this D.I. power disc album in the clearance bin for $5, so I got that. Here's a pic:
Looks quite a bit different as a professor. It basically adds up to having more time to work on things I would do in my office and household chores. That and I can technically drink at work now, but I'm not going to.
Good morning Pixlpeeps and happy Pi Day! As the local news anchor said that got a chuckle “not the circle and delicious, but the squared.” So how have you good people been? Play some fun games this past weekend? Here in sunny Southern California we lost an hour of sleep and are now at the same time as the good people of Arizona. I miss that extra hour. Anyways let's see what games I played this past weekend
I started Sunday with a trip to Gamestop on my way to Mark's place and got some more Skylanders. They didn't have any from my core list like the internet said they would, so I got some Trap Team characters I didn't have and a Superchargers figure and vehicle. Used Supercharger figures are starting to fill the shelves, so I'll start picking those up when I can't find the older stuff. Here's the picture of what I got:
But getting that Amiibo with Toilet Princess made me go on a search for other Zelda related Amiibos. They aren't easy to find but I picked up Link at EBgames and Ganondorf at Walmart.
Hey everyone! Its been a while since I posted on here. A month and three days to be exact. So this game has been my most anticipated game of this year. Even though it released early during the year, there isn't that many games this year that I'm just as excited for compared to this game. Maybe Battleborn and Overwatch.
