Posted on September 3, 2013 by baudattitude

One advantage of having six and a half years of back posts here, mostly talking about my habit of playing through games about a decade after release, is that I can tell you that it’s been 5 years and 4 … Continue reading →

Posted on August 27, 2013 by baudattitude

As may have been apparent, I’ve been quite enjoying having a dedicated portable system around on those occasions where I’m out and about but have some time to kill. I’m not by any means denying that there are some excellent … Continue reading →

I’m just not meant to play “Uncharted”

Posted on August 27, 2013 by baudattitude

Several years ago, when we bought our first PS3, one of the first things I tried out on it was the demo for the at-the-time-brand-new game, “Uncharted”. I got a few minutes into the demo and got to the point … Continue reading →

Dragon’s Crown

Posted on August 24, 2013 by baudattitude

I don’t play many 2D brawlers.  I’d like to blame this on a generational thing – the genre more or less started with Double Dragon, and that came out right around the same time I stopped going to arcades.  So, … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2013 by baudattitude

Even for Japan, this is a weird one.

Posted on July 25, 2013 by baudattitude

For some reason, I keep picking up Cave shooters.  I think it’s because I really liked Espgaluda II and I keep trying to find ones that I’ll like as much. The problem, I think, is that they really ARE for … Continue reading →

An unexpected benefit to Playstation Plus.

Posted on July 22, 2013 by baudattitude

I’ve had a certain fondness, ever since the days of the original Playstation, for the “futuristic racing” genre.  Specifically, the F-Zero and Wipeout series, though I admit to a brief flirtation with Extreme-G.  The fondness is not returned.  I was … Continue reading →

Fishy Math

Posted on July 21, 2013 by baudattitude

So, I created an account with Big Fish Games in order to buy a game that my wife recommended to me. As an aside, it appears that all traces of shame have finally been scrubbed from me if I’m a … Continue reading →

No, really, the shotgun IS terrible.

Posted on July 20, 2013 by baudattitude

I finished up Tomb Raider the other night, story mode complete with the overall game completion at 78%.  This means that I skipped a lot of climbing around for collectibles, I suppose, but it’s polite enough to allow me to … Continue reading →

Amateurs.

Posted on July 19, 2013 by baudattitude

I work in a pretty geeky environment and this week’s Steam sale has been a frequent conversation topic. I got to overhear a couple of coworkers exchange Steam IDs and check out each others profile today, which included the thoroughly … Continue reading →
