Strider for the PS3. Nice game but the controls. The controls just loved to fight me at times.

Just beat Borderlands 2. Have to say it's a lot better then the first one. First off the story feels a lot better. The first one is a MacGuffin everyone is looking for but nobody knows if it exists and like two people talk about and at the end you fight a final boss that nobody sees coming because nobody knows anything about the MacGuffin. The second one gives you a goal to complete, a guy to hate, characters that talk about the story, and even a MacGuffin that doesn't feel left out or forgotten then the story picks up. Even the final boss is better because we were told over and over again that this guy was most likely be the final boss. The atmosphere is also better. The first game just felt like a giant desert with a random garbage dump thrown in. Dr. Ned's Zombie Island was really the only thing that didn't look like an Alien movie threw up on a Mad Max movie. The second game feels more open with ice worlds turning into deserts turning into a fire world. The humor has also improved. This one is a given because Anthony Burch from HAWP fame is on the writing staff, but one person does not make a funny script by himself.... normally. Actually, I can't remember laughing at the original game aside from the DLC. It was more focused on the barely there story to make it funny. So the second game wins just by tring.

If I was to complane about anything, it would be the difficulty at some parts. There are just some missions that expect you to have other friends blasting at the monster just to beat it due to every single enemy regaining health every time you die. The samething happened in the first game but it seems more noticable here due to all the enimeys with large amonts of health. This is not a bad thing as the missions are still doable (aside from You. Will. Die. (Seriously.), which is kinda the point) and the game is meant to be a multiplayer game, but I do think that a game should stand on it's single player. By the way, if any of this sounds strangely written, I was awake until almost 6 fighting the Warrior and I'm writing this after having 3-4 hours of sleep. Was it worth it spending almost 3 hours on a boss instead of sleeping? Mostly.

In the end go play Borderlands 2, and dispite everything I said, go play the first one too, expessally the DLC as the second game builds off of the General Knoxx

Eternal Senia on steam. It's entirely free, was kind of fun. Cutesy little story, old school style action RPG.

I beat The Last Guardian!

That... Was quite a short game. Was it worth 10 years? Well... That's really up to you. I very much enjoyed my experience, but I'm an animal person, so bonding with your big beast friend while getting through puzzles is very appealing to me. There's some very emotional moments and I was scared the entire way through because Ico and Shadow of the Colossus weren't exactly happy games. To say if it ends happy or sad would spoil too much.

It is waaaay easier than Ico and I appreciate the hints the game drops if you take too long. Some things are honestly really kind of tricky to figure out, even with Trico and the boy looking to where they want to go. For the most part Trico is pretty good about obeying your commands, but I did wind up frustrated in a few places where it took awhile for what I ordered to register.

There's some weird places where the frame rate shits the bed and the game just chugs. With everything that's going on I guess it's understandable, and it is only a few areas, but way to kill the immersion.

Oh, and swimming is terrible. Since it's not a main part of the game they didn't really polish the segment where the boy has to dive to reach levers. He handles so poorly I'd be embarrassed if I worked on that part.

Overall, an 8.5 out of 10. I don't think I'll be replaying anytime soon but that was an experience I will treasure.

A game called Twinkle Star Sprites.



Quite a weird and interesting game, it's like putting Touhou and Puyo Puyo together. An original idea and a lot of fun even though it's quite short. I finished it during our Three hour Video Game Society session while people watched. If you've got around an hour to spare and want an interesting shoot-em-up with Puyo Puyo elements I'd say play this.

Oxenfree, cool game with cool dialogue and a cool creepy vibe. Not worth $20 IMO but still a solid game to beat in a weekend.

Fire Emblem Conquest.

Look, I am not the best player when it comes to tactical rpg, so beating this game is a milestone for me. I enjoyed the battle challenges and the Support Conversations between units. I did not care for the story and the cutscenes sequences were just awful in terms of execution(you can't introduce beautiful cutscenes that last for 5-10 seconds and go back to the 3D models making stupid faces). This would have pissed me off but since it's a japanese game, I knew that it wasn't going to excel my standards for good narrative*strokes ego*

I thoroughly enjoyed the endgame final boss. Not only was it extremely nervewrecking but the way the song fused with the intensity was very clutch.

Once I finish Pokémon Moon, I'm thinking of doing a second run on Lunatic mode.*shivers*

After beating Grand Theft Auto IV for the first time in years, I replayed Assassin's Creed: Black Flag again for the first time since it came out. I still love it. I still adore the pirate setting and wish we could have another. But the choppy story telling from Ubisoft still runs rampant. With so little dialogue in many places, I found myself having to loosely interpret my reasons for whatever mission I might be on. The ending still touches me, however.

I am now on my way to playing Dead Rising 2, but with school starting up and my need to shift my focus to my college auditions and business management, I most likely won't get to it for a while.

I was playing through AC before getting sidetracked by Mass Effect.
I was on AC:3, and am really looking forward to Black Flag. I've heard the shanties are good.

You've heard correctly. I made it a point to collect the shanties (along with most other collectables) just to hear a wider selection of them while on the open sea. There are some I don't prefer, but I love a ton of them. I've added those ones to my playlists so I may bestow upon my ears the gifts of those poor men who had to sit down in a room and record those songs non stop.

Thank you for your sacrifice. Unless they thoroughly enjoyed it. Then, go you, pal.

First game of the new year goes to F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and with it, I'm starting to realize that I need to stop buying games just with the thought "I didn't like the last game, but maybe I'll like this one." Long review short, worse then the first game, but made me realize how much the original really does for a horror game.

Dragon Ball : Fusions is the first game I have beaten in 2017. It was a wonderful game with a bad translation, and it suffers from a most classic of problems. Once you finally reach the point in the game where you feel like you've achieved end-game levels, there is nothing left to do.

February has brought me 100%'ing Dragon Ball Fusions and finally beating Final Fantasy 9. I'm kinda having that basking "what now" kinda moment. Its the first time I've played 9 to the end.

I finished GTA IV; the main story, TLAD, TBoGT, all of it. This is the first GTA game I ever played, as well as the second Rockstar game I ever played, the first one being Red Dead Redemption.

The main storyline of vanilla GTA IV story was pretty good, and while is true that the episodes of Liberty City have some continuity erros regarding the main story here and there, said episodes still complement it pretty well. The soundtrack was pretty good, the characters are interesting ("Little" Jacob Hughes is best Jamaican, btw), variety of vehicles and weapons, overall, it was a great game.

Also, not sure if anyone else noticed this, but if Niko, Jhonny and Luis met each other under different circumstances (aka If they weren't against each other because of plot reasons), they would be pretty good friends with each other. This is seen in the two missions were Niko and Jhonny worked togheter, they seemed to get along well....

Looking foward to trying out other games in Rockstar's repertoire!

Finished Torchlight 2, turns out I've been like ten feet from the final dungeon for years but never read the dialogue so I had no idea :p



Great game if you're ever looking for that Diablo style of loot acquisition, combat gets kinda boring after a while but that happens to me in every one of these games so if you're fine with it, cool. It also does a lot of things far better than Diablo in my opinion, like you get Pets that are friggen amazing who can cast spells and zip back to town to sell your crap and buy consumables, fantastic system.
