I finished Ghost Trick last night and it has become my favorite video game story ever. I don't know about favorite gameplay, which is unique and rewarding as well, but definitely my favorite plot and cast of characters in anything I've played.
Well Happy Tuesday Pixlbit! Oh the end of BaD is coming but we still have some things to write and pictures to share so let’s keep it going! For today’s Grab Bag Week topic, I thought I’d share one of my newer favorite albums that I happened to stumble upon.
Well folks, I messed up on PSN again over the weekend. This time I bought the Deadly Premonition Director's Cut Ultimate Bundle and forgot that I had the regular edition still in my shopping cart. So basically I bought the same game twice in one transaction and wound up paying $39.98 instead of $19.99.
So the PS4's Japanese launch arrived two days ago, and we've finally got some sales numbers. According to Famitsu it sold over 300k in two days.
So this is my new user feature thing I am going to start. It is not completely fleshed out but I have a bunch of ideas for it and I am going to go with them and see what works and what doesn't. WARNING: I am not a pro, Olympic writer, beast journalist, or an English major. So this feature will just be kinda for me to reflect on the games I play and hopefully just give someone a smile on a crappy day or just to help with procrastination round the community.
which is why I slept in until late afternoon, wrote my paper hastily and left for class at 4pm. Just now got done working out after eating after class.
There is a movie in the works about the legendary 16-bit wars between the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo. It is due out in August! It will simply be titled "Console Wars." It is tied into a book of the same name, I believe. I will go see it!
I've often come to think about the whole games as movies. And with Need For Speed coming to theaters eventually I have wondered...Why hasn't it worked? It's a bit perplexing. You have these fantasy realms in which to explore and try to bring to film. But Hollywood has had a hard time bringing games to the big screen. Yes there are critical successes. Wreck It Ralph while not a video game, was video game inspired. And it seems to be that way with most things. One highly fascinating video game documentary is King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Or going way back we can take a look at Disney's Tron...a computer animated, technological feat.
Touch Force, a vertical scrolling shmup, is a really cool idea. Instead of touching the screen with your finger to simply control your ship, you touch the screen to create your ship. Better yet, the more fingers you can fit on the screen (up to five), the more ships you can have at once. Lift your finger(s) and your ship(s) disappear, but you’ll start to lose life if you stay off the screen for more than three seconds. It’s a neat twist on a genre that seems so played out at this point. The first level is free to try, so give it a shot!
Hey Pixlbit, just a quick update for gamers who are getting Thief. Just a heads up, Target is having an exclusive Steelbook Edition of the game and it comes with the Bank Heist DLC that Gamestop is offering as a pre order. I still think Gamestop's pre order is better because it comes with the soundtrack of the game and an exclusive app for Android users.
Not fishing, it's a manga about fish, apparently. Just heard about it from the one podcast I regularly listen to, Weekly Manga Recap (it's way at the end where they bring it up). The idea is oddly interesting, I may try to give it a read through if I can find it.
Hello Pixlbit! It’s the final stretch of Blog A Day, you guys doing well? Any gas left in the tank? If there isn’t finish strong anyways! For the final week of BaD I thought I would jump into the theme of Grab Bag. It could be mini blogs of ideas that didn’t fly for BaD, and extra things I might have missed…plus it’s a nice way of saying Randoms II. So let’s get this Grab Bag Week Started!
I've been trying to get my Siamese cats to do something interested so I can photograph them. So far I have not succeeded. They tend to do lot of napping.
Just looking through the games coming out in March. Question is, which do I buy day-one and which do I wait for? It's a really tough decision. Buying all of them would probably cost $250 which is way beyond my budget. One, maybe two of them is possible.
A week or so back I picked up the two Witcher games on Steam mainly because paying $1.99 for the first game again was cheaper than buying an external DVD drive so I could install my disc based version. Compound that with the fact that patching the game to the enhanced version may be free but it's a pain in the ass.
