Crossed Swords Comes Home

June 06, 2019 18:04

One month ago I bought the last of the games I wanted from my wish list that are available at retail. They are Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Yakuza Kiwami 2. I enjoyed the initial reboot game of Tomb Raider from 2013. You know, the one that Square Enix claimed was a failure after […]

Celebrating The Early Days of SNK

May 02, 2019 10:51

I got some new movies and video games to share with you all. I don’t have a whole lot of either on my wish list these days. It’s been a combination of having most of what I’ve wanted since I started collecting in 2004 and a lack of time to play what I already have. […]

Now Playing: March 2019

March 24, 2019 20:15

Since November I played and completed Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, which was good, but it wasn’t the amazing experience I remember the original game being. I feel it side loaded a linear game into an open world style that it never needed. I also played and beat Call of Duty: Black Ops. Oh what a mess […]

SF AE & More

December 12, 2018 02:36

Since my Super Nintendo King of Dragons purchase in September, I ended up getting Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition in that time. I plan on likely buying the season 3 pack of DLC just to get G. After all, when the power of Gaia commands, you must obey. I don’t buy much wrestling on media […]

Now Playing: November 2018

December 04, 2018 19:14

So what have I been up to as far as video gaming is concerned in the month of November? Why is was Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, of course. I’ve explained some of my thoughts on the game on the Hart & Usagi Podcast recently. I felt that the open world style doesn’t suit the gameplay of […]

October 24, 2018 23:43

So I’ve been playing these things called “video games” and I figured I’d tell you about some of them. :D The Bourne Conspiracy follows the events of The Bourne Identity and adds a bit more to it to lengthen the game. You play just about every major and minor scene from the movie including the […]

No Dough Spared

October 07, 2018 23:46

About a month ago I added three games to my collection. One was a Super Nintendo game and the other two were from the PlayStation Store. The latter two first. They are Galaga and Windjammers.

Now Playing: June-July 2018

July 25, 2018 21:29

After over three months of playing Yakuza 4 off and on (mostly off), I have finished it. Vets of the series like usagi704 and others will scoff at the fact that I didn’t do any side missions/activities. I enjoyed the main story and I just wanted to focus on that. It took me long enough […]

PC Showdown

June 20, 2018 21:04

Back in 2016 I became interested in seeing two Jean-Claude Van Damme films that I’d never watched before. One was the original Universal Soldier and the other was Sudden Death. Both were much more entertaining than I was expecting. My interest in them came from watching retrospectives of the movies in question via Oliver’s Retrospectives. […]

Now Playing: May 2018 (and Podcast Update)

June 05, 2018 09:11

About a month ago I purchased Horizon: Zero Dawn. The Complete Edition with all the extra DLC was the cheaper way to go and more available than the original version. I don’t know if I’ll even bother with the extra content, but I guess I’ll just have to see if I want more of it […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve typed up a Now Playing blog entry. My last edition was published at the end of February 2017. At the time I was in the middle of playing Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow on the PSP. I don’t remember much from the game other than getting to a point […]

True Vendetta

March 03, 2018 08:29

Over the last few months I’ve gathered together some new items to share. On the gaming front I’ve been interested in Code of Princess for a number of years since it was released for the Nintendo 3DS. I was happy then to see it listed on the Steam storefront. Somewhat recently it went on sale […]

Ninja Commando Masters of Combat

May 17, 2017 17:45

A few more games this time around for the collection. Not all were necessary, but it’s how these things go sometimes. The first game is very much in that “not necessary” category. I already have Legend of Kay on the PS2. It was one of those games I didn’t know about, but ebbderelict had fun […]
