Let’s Rock

Guilty Gear X

As I believe I’ve already stated many times on this site: it was this game that got me back into the genre of fighting games.  I enjoyed wasting many hours and quarters on this game at the arcades and playing its port and then follow-up, Guilty Gear X2 at home on the PS2.  But shortly after that I quickly lost interest of the franchise after a massive amount of sequels that relied on a heavy dose of feature creep until the amazing Guilty Gear Xrd was released not too long ago.  But let’s not dwell on this period and instead celebrate and praise the game that blew us away with its hi-res sprites, crazy moves, and awesome soundtrack.

Are you ready?  It’s cool!  Let’s enjoy a great show time!!

The Silence of the Llamas

Looks like Atari is ramping up efforts to put the kibosh on Jeff Minter’s TxK.  That’s a real shame because it’s an awesome game with great music and visuals. If you haven’t played it yet, I highly suggest you purchase a copy before it gets pulled off of PSN.  As for me, I just snatched a copy of the soundtrack, as I’m guessing that will be pulled too if Atari decides to take this to court and wins.

Final four

I don’t have a PS4 yet (but I tried to get one a few months back), so I’m still rocking with a PS3.  That’s fine though as I have a huge backlog of games I still need to go through.  I don’t think I’ll get to every single one, but there are a mandatory four games I have to play before I move on to the current generation of consoles.

Spec Ops: The Line, Syndicate, Remember Me, and The Last of Us.  All of the ESRB ratings for these games seem to be spelling mmmm as in, “mmmm, delicious!”

Space Ninja

Strider 2

No doubt about it: ninjas are totally rad and Strider 2 proves it in a way video games can only do: with fast arcade action that has you slicing and dicing your enemies with such break neck speeds that it’ll be over before you know it.  Really, the game is super short, but the action is so concentrated it’s like getting a full days worth of caffeine from a small 5 ounce bottle.
