     My friend's Xbox 360 hard drive stopped reading discs today so we couldn't play EDF 2025. With a closer look, we saw that it was full of. . . ZOMBIES!!!

   that's unlike the previous one only in that I played nothing but EDF 2025 all day and never took any breaks for 3DS games.

     a day where I played some Mii-Plaza games, EDF 2025 and Weapon Shop de Omasse.

     I've already seen a back-to-school sale advertisment and that's a sign that August is near. It seems like the holiday season has begun with all the titles coming out in August. Here are a bunch I'm considering for my preorder.

   It's a day of disaster. A day of giant foes not of this world. Citizens run screaming from the streets of the cities. The call goes out to the forces ready to defend. Get your armor on, pick up a rocket launcher, and let's get out there and save Earth.

     I set up my 360 next to my PS3 at my friend Mark's place. I had both on and signed in at once to check the sales. Didn't find anything I wanted; although, I thought I should download the free Muramasa Rebirth just to have on my PS3. My Plus membership might expire soon though. I can't seem to find where on the system it might tell me how much time I have left.

    I finished the first chapter of The Witch and Hundred Knight today. As The Hundred Knight, I was tasked by Metallia to defeat Malia, the witch of the forest, but what did I get myself into. I know Metallia is evil and she's got a serious potty mouth, but wow is she cruel. These are some screen shots of the battle with Malia. I didn't capture the very last few screens or the screens beginning with the second chapter that tell more about what happened to Malia out of respect for spoilers but also because it ups the ante in the cruel department even higher. For a game with such beautiful graphics and character design, there is some seriously dark poopy going on.

So before I talk about what I played, take a look at this.

   I played a lot of LEGO: The Hobbit while my buddy Mark played Assassin's Creed 2 on our respective Xbox 360s this weekend. It all changed suddenly though as a game ending glitch stopped my game and sent me to my 3DS for relief.

     The remastered version of Grim Fandango will be released for PS4, Vita and PC sometime soon. I think it could be this fall or early next year because the remaster was mentioned in 2013 when Disney acquired LucasArts. That seems to me plenty of time to get it done by late 2014 or early 2015. I'm hoping anyway.
