Having it compared to Gauntlet is actually a big plus for me and is pushing me even more toward picking it up. I've got great memories of Gauntlet Dark Legacy. I've never played the old Diablos (although I'd like to someday), so I won't have that comparison in the back of my mind if I play III. And the fact that it…

That would be wonderful. This is definitely my own fault for not paying enough attention, but I've died more times than I'd care to admit from walking into a pit thinking I had the Roc's Feather equipped when I didn't.

I've been in full-on Lord of the Rings fever this week and most of my free time has been spent reading that. that's likely to continue this weekend. If I do play anything, it will almost certainly be Link's Awakening DX. I only played the first two dungeons and some side quests this week but oh my gosh is it wonderful…

I didn't even know Majora's Mask was in the game but that's so cool! And yeah, I'd imagine the Samus helmet looks pretty silly (in a great way) on a villager. Link's hat isn't quite so out of place, haha.

This is the week I'm housesitting for my aunt and uncle. My cousin has a PS4 at their place, but I don't really want to go through the hassle of transferring my saves and going through the whole installation process when you put a disc into a system for the first time and all that. However, as I said last week, I got…

LBW and K:PR are must-buys for sure. I love those series and these installments both look excellent. I've even seen LBW listed as the best overall 3DS game in a few places. KIU is one I really want to try, but I probably won't prioritize that one yet. Fire Emblem I'm not sure on. The characters and story look great,…

What about the changes improved it so much? I've read a bit about them, but having never played it prior to the improvements, I don't really have anything to compare them to.

I had a DS way back in the day, but only really played Puzzle Quest, which I still actually have despite not even owning a DS for probably around 8 years or so. I'm really excited to be able to delve into both the DS and 3DS libraries, including 2 Mario Kart games that I've heard great things about.

Last Sunday I finally broke down and got a (used) New 3DS XL. And now I'm bummed I never got one before. I wasn't sure I'd like the size of the XL, but when I was at Target for some other stuff I needed to pick up, I swung by the video games and messed around with the demo version they had for a bit, and it really…

Resident Evil 3. The completionist in me wants to replay it to get all three endings before moving on to Code Veronica X, but I probably won't. It's a short enough game, but my entertainment time is pretty limited anyway, and I divide it between playing video games, watching movies, and reading, so I really don't have…

Hope you enjoy REmake! I'd say it's my favorite RE game (with 4 coming in as a close second). The change they made over the original are absolutely brilliant, and in some cases subvert your expectations if you've played the original. But even without comparisons to the PS1 version, it stands firmly as an incredible…

I reeeeeaaaally wanna play these games. I love the art style and I love puzzles. Alas, I don't have a 3DS and they're so hard to come by these days new. I'm a little gunshy on buying systems used. If I were to get a 3DS, would you say it would be worth it to play the games in order? Or just pick one and go with it?

My city has a local game store with two locations. They have much, much better prices on used games than GameStop, while giving a fair amount for trade ins. They also have a policy where you can go in and work packing boxes and stocking shelves and stuff in exchange for store credit. I've never done it myself, since I…

I see where you're coming from, though! And as far as RE4 goes, I'd say it's an action horror game, with slight survival horror elements. I'd definitely still say it's a horror game, however. Just not as much survival horror. But I also have a pretty broad definition of horror (that I won't get into here) that I use…

Arkham Asylum.

I'd say the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era was actually pretty good for horror games. We got Silent Hill 2 & 3, and Resident Evil REmake, Zero, and 4. Both games in the Suffering series were good, if forgettable. And the Fatal Frame games on PS2 were really good. Heck, Silent Hill 2 alone could make a generation great for…

I love OoT a lot. It really is a great game. But ALTTP just feels so much more alive and "dense," for lack of a better word. There's so much to see and do and explore and discover everywhere you go. And the pacing is just perfect, as far as I'm concerned. OoT, while fantastic, feels pretty empty comparatively. The…

Yeah, I don't know the first thing about building a PC and I was shocked at how easy it was.

2TB should definitely last you a while. And the upgrade is super easy, too. Good luck!

On another note, I really really want to get into the Souls games. I bought Bloodborne when it was on sale on Amazon a few months ago, and I've watched small amounts of video of other people playing it and the actual Souls games, and I just love the dark fantasy aesthetic so much. I'm so taken in by that kind of…
