Gaming in 2017


Posted on 01/08/2018 at 11:58 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I enjoyed Gravity Rush 2 but didn't finish it.  I played through the first one on Vita.  I'd like to get Remastered as well, but the physical copy is just too expensive.

I watched some of my brothers play Yakuza Zero last year around this time.  They showed me the arcade you can go into and they played Space Harrier a lot and talked to the arcade lady enough to unlock Fantasy Zone.  I think my favorite character in that game was the arcade lady.

LEGO City: Undercover is one of the better LEGO games I've played.

Namco, Forza, Etrian Odyssey

I have both Namco Museum Remix and Megamix, because I am a freak.  If DLC add-ons were a thing on the Wii, Megamix would've been one of those.

Lots of other arcade companies did the whole Breakout/Pinball hybrid combination for a while, it's just that Namco's sitll one of the only ones around to talk about it.

There was a pinball game on PS2 called Flipnic, and it had a mode that played a lot like Gee Bee/Bomb Bee/Cutie Q.

Seriously, look up Q Taro if you want to see what inspired Toru Iwatani to create games like Cute Q and Pac-Man.

My favorite FF games are FF6, FF4, and FF9.

FF6 is on my list of my top five favorite games of all time.

Even though I had played FF1 and Dragon Warrior on the NES, FF4 is the game that got me into RPGs.

FF9 is what FF7 and 8 should've been.

I still liked Gravity Rush 2 and I beat the first game on Vita.  I think it was just a timing thing.  There were other games that I wanted to play and review.  The game will still get a mention on my Game of the Year awards.

Some Retro and Forza Horizon 3

Okami was my Game of the Year in 2006!

I played Gravity Rush 2, but didn't beat it.  It was fun, but other games enticed me more at the time.

My favorite music from Mario Odyssey was Steam Gardens.

I played and reviewed Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders!  It was so cool and had lots of classic Taito references.  i'm so glad Taito is still around in some form or fashion.  They're awesome!

I love AC: Pocket Camp, too!  Here's my friend code if you don't have it already.

Yeah it would be nice if the game came with some good instructions.  That's one of the things I hate about going digital.  They don't have to hold my hand, but I think they should tell us about important gameplay details, like life points.

Actually you can play as Zero in MMX3, but it's a bit different how you do it.

I'll have my Game of the Year Award blog posted at the end of this month.  It'll have some surprises!

It's interesting that you can still buy the Mattel Baseball and Football games now.

When I played Bowling 2600 on Atari Flashbacks I thought that if I had played it as a kid, I would've liked it.

There are lots of other Namco Museums that have Galaxian on it, too.  Did you know that Galaxian was the first full color video game, and didn't use screen overlays to create the illusion of color?

It's funny how you remember your first.  My first arcade game was Pac-Man and it was at a Kroger grocery store.
