To be honest I have not played a traditional one in quite some time. I don't think I have ever beat one. I am trying to think way back and nothing is coming to mind. But regardless I love this genre.
So not having a Playstation system before a PSP, this was my first forray into the MGS series. I kept playing this waiting to see why this series is so popular and well, yeah, that's pretty much my experience with it. The entire game was so forgettable and nothing special.
First of all, the name is misleading. This cat NEEDS a diet but he isn’t getting one. The goal of this game is to get the gluttonous feline into the cookie jar…so that he can devour the cookies. See? Not a diet. You do this by slashing ropes and wooden planks and whatnot in an attempt to direct the cat’s fall into the jar. It’s a physics puzzle. Tap and slide your finger on the screen to set up the perfect slice (as shown by a dotted line) and then let go to let it fly. You’ll often need to make additional slices after that first one but you won’t have time to be so precise. There is also the matter of collecting three cupcakes in each level. It’s optional, of course, but seems to unlock bonus content (levels or costumes or something) and as long as any of your flying pieces of wood hit a cupcake, you’ll get it, so you needn’t worry about flinging the cat all over the screen. It’s very silly but fun, though let me be honest and say that I’m not very good at it. I suppose I ought to just play Cut the Rope, the poster boy for this sort of game, because I have a copy of that too. But it’s funny to see that fluffy ball of fat bouncing around.
So hey guys, I think I just missed the past 3 BaD blogs. Great way to start off!
Well, funny enough, before I realized that there was a Sonic announcement today, I was planning on writing up a bit about the 3D Classic version for a review. I've been playing it here and there over the past week and it's been quite interesting. Yes, I've played the game many times and know it very well, but it's been quite a while since I've done so and my memories on it aren't quite as fresh as I believed them to be. What's been quite startling is the lack of speed in the very first game and its strong focus on platforming.
I have been working a fair amount of overtime at the moment, which means that my brain function is shot by this point in the day. I would still like to pump out a blog a day, so I am being a little lazy today especially since I just heard that Call of Duty is shifting to a three year development cycle.
OK, so I wasn't going to resort to BaD puns, but I just couldn't help myself.
Given my love for trivia, it's astonishing I didn't come up with something like this a long time ago.
I was playing Sega Bass Fishing on my Dreamcast the other day when I noticed it was Wednesday, comics day. I told my Dreamcast to bring up the Sega Marketplace and, with the fishing rod controller, made my way through the new releases, the announcer said “Hit!” on every one, which became annoying after a while, and selected the ones I wanted with a tug like you do when hooking a fish in the game. Then I reeled them in to my purchase screen, the announcer saying, “Fight!”. I don’t know why they make you pretend to reel in a fish when you select products to buy, but it is fun. Then an image appeared looking like a basket of fish but filled with comics and the announcer said, “This one’s huge!” A day later, they showed up at my door and here’s the pictorial evidence.
As some of you know, I love Plataformers and I consider them my favorite genre, and Nintendo being one of the most famous creators of games of this genre, has very notable ones on the Wii. Though one of the curious things about it is the fact that 2D plataformers managed to find a way to have a small comeback in sale and popularity thanks to the Wii, so you can name five of those games in one hand. Because of that, I decided to do a BaD with my favorite 2D plataformers for the console. If there's any game you think it's weird it isn't here, that's because I haven't played. With that in mind, let's start:
Happy Thursday you BaD mutha f’ers! The weekend is nigh so chin up, gather round and listen to uncle Shane’s Top 5 most anticipated for 2014
Let me start this by saying this. I love the Tales of series. Namco Bandai's staple rpg series has been relevant for 15 years I believe. That is quite an accomplishment. Now the series is at times hit or miss. Many fans debate which title has the best story or best characters and it seems like that the debate will forever continue as long as Tales stays relevant and has a fanbase.
Be proud of me, I finally installed Tomb Raider on my laptop. No time to play it today most likely, but here's an old video of an idea for the series, brought to you by Youtube (well, really some 90s cable access channel, it would seem)'s Navigatr, and narrated by two Let's Players a recent blog post on here reminded me of: slowbeef and Diabetus, of Retsupurae on Youtube and Something Awful Forums "fame":
Happy Thursday Pixlbit! Today is the last day of Lego Week because tomorrow I am going to go to my normal Quick Hits format (or maybe just pickups, I’m not quite sure just yet) but to celebrate the final day of Lego Week I wanted to cover four Android games that don’t get the spotlight but are decent games that use the Lego Universe. The best part of these games is that they could be played on your favorite tablet or phone, and they are free. Sound good?
In the midst of trying to come up with things to post for this BaD month, I've been considering the idea of posting music from my favorite genre-- Drum & Bass (or D&B for short). I know, I know...most of you probably don't bother with stuff outside of the occasional listen. But I'm really desperate to have something daily to post because I'm too mentally inhibited to come up with something more substantial to write about-- at least at the moment.
Individuals typically believe they could solve their acne troubles by buying high-priced acne treatments to take care of their acne and other skin problems. They are always on the lookout on how to find the best acne products for adults? Home acne treatments occasionally work, however a bigger percentage can also lead acne to break out because of misuse.
Game Informer's latest cover story centers on Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, a prolouge to the main MGSV game set to come out next month. In it, they reveal that they played through the main mission in two hours, with a speed run in 5 minutes being possible. This has set off a big debate over the game's actual value, reigniting a long-running argument over price-to-length ratio in modern video games.
