I didn't pay enough attention to know it was this weekend. I think I'll try it out. See what the fuss is all about…before the servers become a ghost town.

"Maaaaarrge…?"

I recently got a 3ds thinking I'd get a couple time-filler games for travel and such. I did not expect it to basically take over as the new "console" of choice. I didn't even know that there was a Dragon Quest VII remake coming out next month, but now I'm actually excited for it.

My wife plays candy crush (and that's it for games) and in my observations of it, I only see a game that relies on luck and massive screen clearing plays to win. Obviously it's going to be designed to squeeze dollars out of people, but there doesn't seem to be any way to play it with any sort of larger strategy.

I found that MS was giving away a Dynasty Warriors game called Warriors Orochi 3. I thought, since I'm really liking Hyrule Warriors Legends a lot, it would enjoy it. I don't enjoy it. It's not vastly different, but it's so much more linear in map design. Hyrule warriors often feels like a puzzle game, but this other…

I assume those Picker dudes just buy it up again from some geezer's barn after he buys it at the Friday's rummage sale. It's the circle of life. (edit: beat by a mile. I should read comments first)

I played two mission last night in which I needed the checkpoint retry moving my characters so that I could be close enough to the objective to complete it in time. Both are Gannon missions, one where you have to stop 3 Lana's from escaping and the other was fighting of Link and Zelda at the same time. In both cases,…

I've been playing a lot of Hyrule Warriors Legends lately. I generally play games that require longer time investments that hog the TV so it's nice to have a game I can suspend in a moment or just play for 20 minutes and be done. I find the pace of the game to be a bit stressful at times due to the sheer amount of…

L.A. is in the running for another Olympics I've heard. If they do get the bid, they could use Memorial Stadium for the third time, which is about as close as we're going to get to a permanent Olympic complex.

I'll go to my grave thinking Sim City 4 has the best game soundtrack ever.

Duke Nukem 3d's strip club music was a fun little diddy that served better as an animated gif that loops on itself than an actual song:

3D fighting games will go on and forever claim the crown the following year with the release of Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi

This is exactly the type of thing I want to see more missions/quests get into. Deepen the world building.

Holy crap. I've been kind of nursing the story mode out of fear of running out of content. Open the flood gates

What?! Either I'm overestimating the amount of time to clear one, but I can see myself needing hundreds of hours to do it justice. and there's more?

Oh, I got confused on my 2nd to last bosses. I was remembering Zelda 2's last boss as the bird-head door from Super Mario 2. I forgot about Thunderbird…an entirely strange, and pointless, boss. His very name tells you his weakness too…spam lightning.

Diablo 3 has had some of the best post-launch updates to a game in recent history. Not just the removal of the auction house, but adventure mode, the rifts, adding more torment difficulties, etc. Back when torment difficulties were first released, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to progress through them. Since…

I haven't played Zelda 2 since maybe 1994 but I strongly recall having to max out my number of lives before going to the last dungeon. If I died once when going around the world picking up Link Dolls, I'd just reset and and start over. Looking back though, I never beat the game on my last life, but there were times…

Does the game explain those weird "dragonfly"-like soldiers that appeared in that bizarre scene in Batman v. Superman? I'm still trying to figure out what that was all about.
