I was just at Walmart and checked out their Skylanders. They didn't have Giants of Spyro's Adventure starter kits, but they had a lot of figures. I'll keep looking though.
I'm going to play Genma Onimusha next on my playlist. I can't wait.
The Clothier Wars
I'd love to make some Atari games. That would be cool! I'd like to do the box art too.
The series is pretty big in Japan. EDF 3 (called Insect Armageddon here) was a best seller there. EDF 4.1 is "an enhanced port" of EDF 2025. It has spruced up graphics, runs with less slow down, and has kaiju and giant robots you can control. Here's a trailer:
I had a dream last night that I had Pac-Man wallpaper that was interactive. You could take control on any maze on the wall and play it at any time. Cool huh?
"However, all aspects of this game feel like they are just leading you around by the nose, and there is hardly any actual gameplay involved." That says it all for me and all the Telltale story games. After Tales from Borderlands, I think I'll avoid their stuff from now on. I like gameplay, not TV episodes masquerading as video games.
How about a plasma globe present. My roommate is obsessed with them at the moment.
I think you said in your review that the SuperChargers racing game was difficult? That's not a good sign, but I love the figurines.
"Id only collect figures u really want to use." Exactly what I want to do.
I created a "relevancy" list of my games recently for just that reason. I figured it would give me a playlist that would keep me mostly up-to-date, but I found the list too predictible, and I didn't look forward to it. My list by completion times, shortest to longest, gives me a great variety of games, and has me excited for each weekend. I'll go with that over doing something that might lead me to quit gaming altogether.
It's like thinking about writing reviews for games. Yes, it's more respectible than just blogging, but I find it incredibly boring and dull.
The site is really cool. It lists times for just completing the main story, for doing everything in a game, and speed runs. It also has a color code that tells you if the times are posted from a lot of people or just a few. I made a spread sheet of all my games and sorted them by completion times. It's a neat list that I'm adicted to right now because it creates a great variety of games on my playlist. I've tried other sorting methods like relevancy, but this one gives me the most variety and that keeps me interested.
It was buy 2 get 3 free and I think it was just good that one weekend. They may run it again though. I'm going to start checking every week now, and yes, I will be keeping my eye out for them when I go to other stores. I don't think I'll go hunting for them though. That's a bit much.
It gets even better as the difficulty rises: more enemies, more mayhem, more crazy visuals and destruction, and better weapons that create eye blinding blasts of light. My only issue, and this is true of any game for me really, is how often do I have to replay a level because I get killed. Repetition is my worst foe for continuing with a game.
