Posted on July 19, 2015 by baudattitude

I mentioned yesterday that I’d tried to play Ninja Gaiden before.  Three times, in fact, and more-or-less in the following sequence: 2004 – while visiting a friend, he invites me to try this brand new game which he has just … Continue reading →

Go Team?

Posted on July 19, 2015 by baudattitude

I couldn’t really get in to the Roller Coaster vs. Water Slide argument, so I picked Team Roller Coaster and played long enough to rank up a couple of times.  I didn’t have enough emotional attachment to the issue to … Continue reading →

This game shouldn’t exist

Posted on July 18, 2015 by baudattitude

I started trying to summarize Hyperdimension: Neptunia Re;Birth, and after several false starts I just had to give up.  It’s one of those games where the target audience knows they need it the moment they see it, and anyone outside … Continue reading →

Illithids, Beholders, and Yuan-ti, Oh My

Wooooo cats

Begun, The Turf Wars Have

Posted on July 4, 2015 by baudattitude

To celebrate, Inkopolis Plaza got a new coat of, um.  Paint?  Ink? It looks pretty, anyway.  I’m not much for the Splatfest battle music, but a change of pace never hurt. After a dozen or so matches, I’m up to … Continue reading →

EDF! EDF! EDF!

Posted on July 1, 2015 by baudattitude

Earth Defense Force 2017, the first game in the series to grace American shelves, was a bit of an impulse buy.  I picked it up because my wife had heard good things about it and it was, well, it was … Continue reading →

A Bit of Backlog Blasphemy

Posted on June 30, 2015 by baudattitude

I may have backslid a little on my backlog reduction goal.  I wasn’t supposed to buy any games until Fatal Frame V came out, and instead I got sucked into an indiegala deal and wound up with three new VNs … Continue reading →

Enoch Noch Nochin’ on Heaven’s Door

Posted on June 20, 2015 by baudattitude

I came to own El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron only after it was featured in an Xbox 360 Games on Demand sale at the bargain price of $2.99.  At the time, I played the prologue and about half of … Continue reading →
