BaD #13: Deus Ex and Dead Space Novels


Posted on 02/19/2020 at 10:54 PM | Filed Under Blogs

The reviews of the Dead Space graphic novels always seemed pretty mixed, so I wasn't sure if I should go after those or not. But maybe I'll check out the ones by that author.

BaD #11: Halo Novels


Posted on 02/19/2020 at 10:48 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I got the first two Mass Effect novels from the library after I played ME2 and enjoyed them. The first one was better, in my opinion, because it was a direct prequel to the first game and dealt with important story characters, whereas the second book took place between the games and was very tangential to the story because, naturally, the author had no way to know what any given player would choose to do in the game. There have been a few more novels, I think, and a bunch of comics but I haven't read any of those.

I've read the original Thrawn trilogy and it was quite good. I'd like to try the new Thrawn books. Geez, you know Thrawn is a great character when Disney hires Timothy Zahn to write new novels that bring Thrawn into the new canon.

I'd like to read the X-Wing books. I hear those are really good. But yeah, on the whole there are waaaay too many Star Wars novel series. Have you read the Knights of the Old Republic comics? They are not related to the games, just the time period, but they're really good. I'd go so far as to say they're my second favorite comics after Mega Man. Your library might have the omnibus collections, of which there are three. The third one drops down to just "good" but the first two are excellent.

SNES Games I Love #18: Donkey Kong Country

While it sure looks dated now, I appreciate that Rare did not take Donkey Kong down the mascot route so popular at the time. Can you imagine angsty DK with a '90s 'tude? Ugh. Their restraint is laudable.

I really liked this game but it made my hands cramp, even using the included stand. I think it would have worked better on the Wii.

Well then, into the list of potential buys it goes then!

I had never heard of this before the remake came out. Sounds like you've probably played that by now. What do you think of it (the remake)?

Bioshock and Friends

I assumed Lego Worlds was supposed to be Lego's answer to Minecraft but I heard it's not like that at all. How would you compare the two, if at all? So you're not actually building anything, just arbitrarily transforming things?

SNES Games I Love #16: X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse

I don't remember this one, probably because there were so many terrible 16-bit superhero games.

BaD Games I Gotta Finish - Final Fantasy 12

I need to play the Final Fantasy games past VII. I have XII for the PS2 but I'd prefer to get the recent remaster, preferably for Switch.

The cartoon is an Amazon exclusive, I think. I've been meaning to watch that.
