PixlBit

Well hello good folks of Pixlbit! It is a breezy Wednesday here in sunny So Cal, but there are rumblings that there might be rain. RAIN! For you folks who actually get different types of weather, Southern California seems to go crazy during rain (I once watched a guy drive in the middle of two lanes when it was sprinkling), and my friend I like to mock the local news for their STORM WATCH 20XX coverage. Anyways getting back to Grab Back Week, today it’s all about the two Lego games I knocked off Mount Backlog and what I am playing.

 

Two Games Off Mount Backlog

 

I was getting tired of waiting for Microfighters to show up on Android (I checked this morning, and it’s still not in the Google Play Store yet the Lego sets have the Google Play icon on the box). I went back to playing it on the iPad, and sure enough I completed all the available levels, and unlocked all the power-ups. I just need to find one or two more red bricks and earn True Pilot in a couple of levels and I complete the game.

The game itself isn’t bad especially after you collect at least two minikits to upgrade your weapons. The extra power-ups are good but they can be expensive which means playing a certain level multiple times to earn Lego studs (if you play the game you know the level where it’s fairly easy to earn a ton of studs)

The game is a fun Raiden like shooter, and I found it more comfortable to play with a stylus so you can see around your ship. I can’t wait for the Android version because it is more comfortable to hold up a 7 inch tablet than the iPad (talk about first world problem)

 

 

I already 100% this game on the PS2, but I bought this game because it was part of a dual game pack, so I figured I would do a kind of speed run. I finished the first two groups of levels on the Batman side, and finished off the third group and the entire Villains side. I miss this feature because it’s fun to see the other side of the story in these games. The only bugs I ran into was that sometimes the other character would get in your way or wouldn’t trigger the puzzles you need to get to a higher ledge and what not.

I should aim for 100% on this game but I don’t know if I will. I might save this for one of those rainy day weekend things. As for my next game I thought about playing through Lego Batman 2 on the 360 as well. Hopefully I can finally figure out where the damn missing minikit part is on one of the levels so I can go back and Platinum LB2 on PS3.

 

Currently Playing

 

So I passed the area where I was stuck, I advanced to the next section where I got a fossil and I’m supposed to bring it back to this little town. So I’m still doing the usual fighting, leveling up, fighting again, rinse and repeat. I also left a couple of Pokemon from my collection in day care to see what it does for them.

 

So I’m playing this game on the Vita and midway through my first year in Double A for the Angels I was traded to the Cubs for two players. I ended the year batting around .392 with 33 HRs, and almost 100 RBI. This year I am in Triple A with the Iowa Cubs and after the first month I have 10 HRs and 39 RBI. This game is fast and fun because I only play when I either bat, or a defensive play I’m involved in. Road To The Show is awesome! My only problem with this game is that it has a lot of glitches. For the first three weeks of the month in Triple A, the game would give me the schedule for the Louisville Bats. Also the game would get stuck before I would go to batting practice and I would have to restart. I’m getting my baseball fix on the cheap, and I’m still waiting to get called up to the Show.

On the PS3 I started another character for Road To The Show, but I don't play it as much. I think my character got drafted by the Cleveland Indians and I've played around maybe half month worth of games. If only I was still able to use my Vita save on the PS3 I would play the hell of this game too. I might look into buying the new baseball game if this feature is still in the game.

 

That’s all for now, more later!
