Fly in the House (PC) Review

title

I honestly have no idea why I have this game. This looks like something I might have picked up a long time ago for a buck or two on sale thinking it might be a few laughs. But it’s been buried in my Steam Backlog without any particular attachment to it for long enough I honestly do not remember.

However when the dice picked it as the next game to play over the 100 Days of Gaming for Extra Life, I shrugged and though “could be fun.” And fun it was, but it was short…. very short… and kinda shows how home-made it is on it’s sleeve. You might say it’s a little bit… buggy? Ok, I’ll see myself out. But you come in if you want to see what the game is about.

Meteor 60 Seconds! (PC) Review

title

Sometimes, you just have to follow your curiosity. This game showed up in games recommended to me, and while I could tell it was going to be a very lean and simple game, I couldn’t resist finding out how my last minute would be spent. As such, I added it to my games to play for the bargain price of “free.” Now that I’ve played it, I can’t say that was a bad decision.

Extra Life 2018 September

It’s been a couple of months since we last checked in and the big marathon is drawing ever nearer. To update, we have now begun our part for the 100 Days of Gaming for Extra Life. And yes, there is finally a web-page for it!

Over the last 39 days (as I will be playing for day 40 well after writing this), we have already finished 3 titles completely and finished with a few more. There have been highs and lows already, but we are not even halfway there so expect more to come! If you wish to see as it happens, we’ve been streaming every day at my own twitch channel. This is going to continue right up until and during the big day. And if you want to see what has happened so far, my youtube channel for this site has a playlist dedicated to this year’s event. You can have a look at that right here.

As always, it’s been an amazing journey, both in the worlds we get to share with you as well as the good we can do for sick kids in this one. And as always, Im asking if you would get involved and help us all take this one. If the idea of playing games yourself to help the kids sounds good, then please take a visit at the Extra Life main page. All the details are there as well as how to sign up. The big marathon is only 2 months away, but we are here helping kids every day of the year. If, however you want to help us directly, well… that’s a humbling honor all it’s own, but you can find our team page here and by the thermometer on the side of the page.

Thank you again, and game on, my friends. Game one.

Xbox LIVE Arcade Compilation (Xbox One) Review

main title

There are two lessons to be taken from this experience. First and foremost is to make sure when you buy a game it’s what you want. When I picked this disc up at a local Gamestop several years ago, I was hunting for the collection that Super Contra was on. The game had been removed from XBL so that would be the only way to get the only home version this close to arcade-perfect. Needless to say, I picked the wrong disc.

The second lesson comes in the price of the game. While it now sells for about $5 on the Gamestop website, I picked it up for a mere $.99! Not sure if the game I wanted, I was more then willing to take the chance. Lesson number 2: you get what you pay for.

Now, since this is another collection disc that I had planned to use with my (then fully working) Xbox 360, I had decided to treat this collection as one big review. Each game is listed and linked separately below:
