E3 2013 conferences rant

June 12th, 2013

As usual I do a quick impressions post about all the big 3 conferences. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are showing stuff and I’m just giving my opinion.

I’ll try to do something different from my usual inconsistent ranting… I’ll list the positives and negatives or whatever, with short comments, and then my overall impressions.

Let’s Go!

All hype is lost: why people don’t care about the 8th gen

May 22nd, 2013

Haven’t posted much in a while, partly because I haven’t been video gaming much in the last month, but today I feel like posting. Might be because of my own E3 hype, or the fact that Microsoft flubbed their Xbox reveal today, I dunno.

The competitors are lined up and the 8th gen is looking!… pretty lame. That’s not to say there’s nothing interesting down the pipeline, but I’m noticing a general lack of excitement for this new generation (not just from myself, but just looking around at the gaming community), as if new consoles weren’t just about to come out… And I think I can actually explain it.

So what I’ll do here is give my personal hype for the 8th gen consoles, and attempt to explain why there’s a general lack of enthusiasm for them in the gaming public.

And I will note that I’ll do another post for my E3 impressions, but there may be some repetition here if some of the companies fail to impress again.

Games coming out in May 2013

April 28th, 2013

Not much to say here, May has basically nothing coming out. This’ll be quick. 1 3DS release, 5 multiplats, nothing else.

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not.

Let’s go!

Guacamelee review

April 21st, 2013

Guacamelee
From one metroidvania to another! Guacamelee didn’t really catch my
attention for the longest time, but I still decided to pick it up when it came out, just to have something to play on my Vita even if for just a few hours.

This is gonna be fast, read on!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate review

April 21st, 2013

Castlevania Shits of Shadows Mirror of Fate
I recently put up a post about my impressions of the game’s demo, which didn’t impress me. I still ended up picking up the game, used, for cheaper than usual used prices, happily not giving Konami any of my money.

But I did come out of the experience at least enjoying it a bit, which is more than I was expecting after playing the demo.

Read on and see what I liked, or not!

Games coming out in April 2013

March 24th, 2013

This is a pretty empty month surprisingly, but there’s a couple cool releases upcoming… Oh, and kickstarter backers such as I will be getting their OUYA consoles near the beginning of the month so you can expect a post where I’ll bash the console! … Probably.

Either way… In April we’re getting: 2 3DS titles, a Vita game, a PS3 game, a 360 game and 3 multiplats. As I said, slow month.

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not. I’m probably missing some stuff (generally the more indie stuff).

Let’s go!

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f import review

March 13th, 2013

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f
Sometimes I like buying completely random games, or games I have no idea what they’re about just to basically see what all this hype is about. This is what I did here. I know nothing about vocaloids nor have I ever even heard any vocaloid music, and obviously I’m never played one of these games before… So this was really a completely blind buy.

So yeah… let’s check it out!

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate demo impressions

March 3rd, 2013

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
Well I said in the March releases post that I’d give my impressions on the demo for Mirror of Fate…. But after playing through it twice, I find that there really isn’t much to say. I’ll still try though!

Let’s talk about this new Castlevania game!

Games coming out in March 2013

February 26th, 2013

Well this has been a slow month of posting… I’ve been playing a couple RPGs so I haven’t really had time to post too much at all (gameplay time is low when you have a full-time job). Ni No Kuni and Fire Emblem reviews still possibly upcoming though, eventually I might actually play those to completion.

On that note, let’s talk about upcoming releases in March! Here we’re getting: 4 3DS games, 3 PS3 games, 2 PC games, a 360 game, 1 Wii U games, a Vita game, a Wii game, and finally 6 multiplatform games… OH and I think the Ouya is coming out for kickstarter backers in March… but who cares?

Usual disclaimer: Those include either games I’m interested in, or games that may be/become popular… Basically anything I feel bears mentioning, whether I’m personally hyped for it or not. I’m probably missing some stuff (generally the more indie stuff).

Games coming out in February 2013

January 20th, 2013

I’m posting this early, because I predict my free time may be taken by Ni No Kuni this week (if I receive it this week)… I do have a few other upcoming posts, but we’ll see if I’ll ever have time to do that.

February is giving us: 2 great 3DS games, 6 multiplat releases, 1 Wii U release and 1 Vita release. A couple of quality releases here.
