Under the Skin
“Erm” is probably the best way to describe this game. Either that or “Cel Damage meets Jet Set Radio meets Area 51“. The fact that one of the characters seems to be Mojo Jojo in a different body is also disturbing. I’ve only played one level so far, and that had involved randomly “becoming” people, laying giant yellow drawing pins, vacuuming up coins, and punching people with a huge spring-loaded boxing glove. And some rollerskating. I failed the level, but …
Pokémon Legends: Arceus (Switch): COMPLETED!
It’s different, isn’t it? The last few main Pokémon games have all claimed to be “new” in terms of how they play, with Let’s Go! doing away with proper battles with wild Pokémon, Sun and Moon being properly in 3D and Sword and Shield having the Wild Areas. Arceus is like an extrapolation of those Wild Areas, with several large regions you can freely travel around, seeing Pokémon in the wild doing what they do, and catching them by sneaking …
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Switch): COMPLETED!
No, I didn’t think a crossover between the worlds of Mario and the Rabbids would work either, but somehow, it does. Perhaps it’s partly because the gameplay doesn’t borrow from either party, and Mario + Rabbids becomes its own thing. Instead of precision platforming or nonsensical minigames, this game provides a fun turn based strategy game interspersed with some puzzles (mainly of the switch pressing or block pushing variety). It’s not quite Xcom or Ubisoft’s earlier Nintendo title Ghost Recon: …
Play Want Bin Expense: 2016-08-08
Singing, dancing, stealing, time travelling, weeing and cows. Pretty standard.
RPGs – Role Playing Games or Rocket Propelled Grenades?
Nobody actually says “rupguh” or anything, do they?
Xeodrifter (PS4): COMPLETED!
You can clearly see Mutant Mudds’ DNA in Xeodrifter. Similar chunky pixel graphics, the same feel in terms of physics, plane shifting, 8-bit music and similar looking baddies. But it’s not a sequel, ditching fantasy mud monsters and platforming for Metroid inspired planet exploration with Metroidvania style progression through ability unlocks. As you flit to and from four different planets in search of your damaged ship’s warp core, you pick up health and weapon boosts, improving your stats and making …
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate (3DS): COMPLETED!
It seems like years ago when I last completed a game. I blame the crippling twin time vortexes of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, because escape from them is almost impossible. But, here and there, I’ve worked through the final chapter of the story – playing as Simon. His section actually fits before Trevor and Alucard (which run pretty much concurrently), and although I’d spotted where it was going well before it got there, the reveal …
Stuff I’ve been playing recently
Fable III (360) It seems the best way to make money is to buy all the houses and shops, then just leave the Xbox on all day. So I did that. Now I have over 8 million gold, can pay off all my debts, and progress with the story. In doing so, I’ve revisited Aurora, pilfered a diamond from a cave, bought more shops and houses, and am now on the trail of a white Balverine in Silverpines. I also …
This Week’s Roundup (360/Wii)
Another busy week (it was my birthday!) so I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. Wii Fit (Wii)Haven’t played this much since Tuesday, but did fit in a couple of sessions in the week. Mainly just played step and ski jump, though. Link’s Crossbow Training (Wii)Excellent! I got this for my birthday, which was pretty amazing in itself since it’s impossible to buy pretty much everywhere. It’s pretty simplistic (it is basically “just” a lightgun game) but is …
