Got another batch of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

I couldn't resist a quick chat on my comics reading and console-setup. Here goes. 

Good morning Pixlpeeps! I had to restart my computer because for some odd reason this Office program would only type every other word. Yeah that would have been fun reading. Anyways I meant to do a recap of Chris Goes To Vegas on Friday but something came up…well let’s just go over the timeline (Psst there isn’t much game talk here, so if you’re not into reading my ramblings it’s cool, I’ll see ya next week)

I am totally stuck on this game even forgoing my usual rewards points quests to play it. Serious progress was made as detailed below but only a little bit because I'm listening to/vinyl ripping Uriah Heep and can't be bothered. 

Take your pick from the 9 games below. 

Games Beaten

Good evening Pixlpeeps! So I’ve been gone for the week and I have a good reason: my one year old nephew turned one, and he was on his Spring Break from his School so I was in Las Vegas for the week spending time with him. I tried to make it a no internet week, but I was sometimes on Twitter but I’ll save the random Vegas stories for Quick Hits but I did play a lot of games (a lot for me) because little guy likes to take power naps throughout the day and he goes to bed super early so when I wasn’t singing along with Baby Shark (there’s a one hour loop, and there’s another video of just remixes) and being the fun uncle, I was playing some games.

I loved the original Spy Hunter cabinet back in the 80s. I played a 3D rendition of the game that came out in 2001 for Xbox and PS2. 

Now that Spider-Man is done, I'm making headway in Tales of Vesperia. I forgot how good the storytelling is in these games. I will admit though the combat is a little dated... I sometimes find myself daydreaming during battles. But overall it's very cool. 

I would recommend this game to any gamer. It was wonderful. 

This was the demo disc for the March 2002 issue of The Official Xbox Magazine. It has demos, trailers, a behind-the-scenes video, tv ads, and gameplay highlights. I find it a cool trip down memory lane to watch these things again. Here are some more details.. 

I really liked this game. Race in two-person chariots and fight them all. It's like Burnout but with Roman chariots. 

I definitely liked this offroad racing/adventure game but it's hard to stick to something that looks so bland compared to today's racers like Forza. Plus I had a few tiny issues with the map screen and the driver views. 

Not really slew them but played them and none of them for very long actually, but whatever, I enjoyed them. Here's the lot. 

Here's a game you've probably never heard of: Nadral, for the Atari 400/800/XL/XE 8-bit computer line. 

Not a full day today, but enough. 

So this has been my morning: I woke up, bought an app for Android that plays my music, synced a folder of around 7 thousand songs but it won’t use the album art. Now I’m back to using the older music app that uses the album art but syncs like it was the 1990s on 56k. My dedicated digital audio player however can take 7 thousand FLAC files and sync them in a couple of minutes, while Android takes forever and a day just with MP3s. Blah. This is dumb. Let’s get started.

Easter is coming up, so “Hoppy Easter!”  Let’s go on an egg hunt and find game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Every-bunny please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK, let’s hop to it!

I didn't notice any new releases all that interesting to me in Jan, Feb, and March this year but I saw several for April. So I thought I'd share them here. 

So get this, last week I had a Quick Hits written and ready to go, but just didn’t post. I got caught up in some things, and then on Monday, and Tuesday actual worked popped up including scanning pictures. You know what’s wild? When you take a picture that’s seen better days since it was taken in the 1940s, you not only make the torn sections go away, but you make it almost look like it was taken yesterday and nobody says “hey thanks for working your magic on this” it’s kind of annoying, but whatever. I’m here, you’re here, let’s type this up, catch up on stuff I missed here the past week or so, and then get back to scanning pictures and working my magic.

This game has great cut-scenes for the time and good graphics. I liked the dark story too but one control choice made it a real problem for me. I died twice before I got a game over screen. I guess you only live twice in this game. 

I've finally finished this. It's been since November when it came out. It's a whole lot of explosive action, military lingo, and loads of previous Halo novel references. I only wish it didn't leave me with so many questions at the end. You can leave me hanging on some things, but the major story points have to be answered at the end or I wonder where volume 2 is and that's how I felt at the end. Here follows a little more detail.
