  • Switch Galaxy Ultra

    Also in the PlayStation Plus lineup this month is Switch Galaxy Ultra, which from the screenshots looked pretty awesome to me. Although it looks like a hover racer, itā€™s a bit more limited than that, and instead plays more like the grinding levels in a Ratchet game. I havenā€™t spent that much time with it,…

    On top of all the games Iā€™ve been able to play courtesy of theĀ ā€œFriends of Nintendoā€ Humble Bundle, itā€™s also the start of a new month, which means new games from PlayStation Plus. I was quite looking forward to playing Table Top Racing – I sure love me some racing – and after putting in…

  • Overwatch (Open Beta 2)

    Another open beta for Overwatch, and yet again, I find myself having such a blast playing this game, even though multiplayer online shooters are not usually really my thing. I just love the look of the game so much, and the diverse lineup of characters are just so much fun, and I always have a…

    Iā€™ll mention one last game Iā€™ve been playing from the Nintendo Bundle, and thatā€™s Citizens of Earth. For some reason, when you get the keys from the bundle, you have to choose whether you want the Wii U or 3DS version of this game, and so I picked Wii U. I must say, Iā€™m having…

    Another game in the Nintendo bundle is Darksiders II, which I had started playing a long time ago on PS3 I think (probably bought it in a sale or got it through PlayStation Plus) but got distracted somehow and never got back to it (and I donā€™t have a PS3 anymore). I quite liked the…

  • Shantae and the Pirateā€™s Curse

    Iā€™ve been curious about playing one of these Shantae games for quite a while, and that Nintendo bundle has finally given me the chance. Itā€™s a retro-influenced 2D platformer, and through the bundle you get both Wii U and 3DS versions. I first started playing on the Wii U, but then when I later tried…

    You still have 1 day to get in on theĀ ā€œFriends of Nintendoā€ Humble Bundle, and if you havenā€™t already taken advantage of this ridiculously good deal, I encourage you to do so. Iā€™ve been getting some play time on most of the stuff I got, and one of the games Iā€™ve been enjoying the most…

  • We Are Twisted Fucking Sister

    I just watched this documentary on Netflix, and itā€™s fascinating. It basically tells the tale of the birth of the band, stopping just asĀ ā€œthe big breakā€ happened (ā€Weā€™re Not Gonna Take Itā€ et al.) I canā€™t say that Iā€™m a huge fan of the band or anything (sure, I loved those hits back in the…

    I finally got around to watching this, and even though I was expecting something pretty good based on the positive reactions Iā€™d heard from friends who had seen it, it even surpassed my expectations. Iā€™m also really happy to see that Dan Trachtenberg (the director) did such a great job with this – I was…

    I wrote recently that I watched the new GundamĀ ā€œOriginā€ series with my wife (the 2 episodes that are out), and that it was making me want to watch the original 70s series, something Iā€™ve been wanting to do for ages. Itā€™s one of my wifeā€™s all-time favorite series, and sheā€™s been suggesting I watch it…
