It was a really great year. I was able to beat more games this year than last, which was my goal. I finished a total of 27 games! Most of these were retro games, but some of them were also new ones. All of these games are worth beating, btw. Here they are in the order in which I beat them.
Can you believe that 2015 is already over? What I like to do around this time is write about the best games of the past year. Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! Plus I do apologize if this list leans toward the Nintendo side. I don’t have an Xbox One or PS4 yet, so you’ll just have to deal with it. So with that out of the way, welcome to my Best Games of 2015 Awards Show!
I traded in EDF 4.1 and a few other things and got Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below for PS4 for $17. I'll get to it this weekend. See pic:
Hey guys, I haven't really played many video games lately. I've kinda gotten into Tabletop gaming. I recently bought the X-Wing starter pack and two expansions. It's a bit expensive but it's a ton of fun and the models look badass. So far I've got two tie fighters, one x-wing, a slave I and a millenium falcon. Here's what some the models look like:
So I set up my PS4 the other day. This thing is smaller and lighter than the XBO. I like that. I thought the setup would take a long time, you know, with Sony's usual long updating process, but it only took me a half hour to install the updates and sign into my profile. Yes! The only thing I'm not sure about is transfering licenses so I can play PSN games I owned on PS3. I'd push that button but I'm not sure the PSN games on PS3 will work on PS4, and I'm not sure the license transfer option on PS4 refers to PS3 games. I have to do some research on that.
I've got a new Mario Maker stage! I really like this one, too. It's called Lost Luggage, and you'll have to check it out to see why!
Brand new year with lots of things I would LOVE to accomplish:
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a rainy Monday morning here in what is usually sunny Southern California. The first full week of the New Year and I miss the weekend already but I am happy to get back in the workweek grove. So how are you good people? This past weekend has been good because I knocked off three games off Mount Backlog, and I am a level away from knocking off a fourth. Its amazing how close I was to finishing off games but I put them down for one reason or another, but after checking out the internets to see how much more I have to finish, I realized a couple of them can be taken out with an hour or two of work. Before I get into those games lets look back at what happened in December
Yikes, 2015 is over already? As they say, time flies when you frantically play games between family, work, and other life obligations! (That is the saying, right?) 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!
Just finished this Taito arcade game collection on the PSP. Here's the game list:
I gave in and picked up Earth Defense Force 2 on Vita. This is the first release of this game in N.A. and it's only on VIta. I'd rather play it on a big screen, but I'll do what I can with this version. It was $30. Then I preordered Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam coming January 22 for 3DS. I can't wait for that. Here's a pic.
It's a new year and Im carrying over my playthrough of F.E.A.R from 2015 to 2016. I had almost given up on the game. The first few levels/sections of the game health packs are plentiful and now as I am advancing deeper into the game it seems that the health packs are a little more scarce and the enemies are more numerous and more aggressive. But I decided to stick with it because its just an amazing awesome game.
Hello everyone, and happy new year! As you may know, I took a break from my blogs the last couple months to catch up on some gaming, and it was wonderful. But, due to continued busyness in my life, I decided to change my weekly retro game blog to every other week. It will now be called Retro Review. Rest assured they will be the same as before with me analyzing different aspects of the game and giving a score out of 5 stars at the end. Also, I will now be including Game Boy Advance games in the mix. The first one will be next Saturday.
Just finished this book today. I liked it. It tells the story of a crisis that happens after the Covenant/Human war where Elites and Humans have to cooperate on a mission to the Forerunner Ark. The Ark is like the mothership of the Forerunners. It's where the Halo rings were made and managed.
Wednesday was my last day in the office at the school board. I'm on vacation next week but also starting my new job. I have to return all my tablets and other toys but they are letting me keep a laptop for part time work and the nexus 7 permanently which is cool. I'm writing this on it right now.
