And here we are at the end of the line with our dynamic ghost-saving heroes' final adventure. I will admit I've been looking forward to seeing how it all turned out, and really I was not disappointed. Come on in and lets talk.
Ys VIII - Lacrimosa of DANA (PC) Review
Once again we we have here another adventure with gaming's leading adventurer, Adol. (Seriously, how many characters actually claim their job title is Adventurer?) And each time we have spent time with him, I have to say I have enjoyed the hell out of it. Was this time any different? Not really... I had a blast here too. Come on in and have a peak.
Persona 5 (PS3) Review
This is a game that's been waiting probably a lot longer then it should have. When it came out, I was excited to get my hands on it... until Atlus started coming after people for streaming the game like they thought people who didn't want to have it spoiled would not have the self control to just not watch. I put a damper on it, but ultimately I did get my hands on the game and put it in my backlog for several years... enough for me to play several other games in the franchise first. But I have to say it... this one was worth the wait.
Now before we continue, I must say that offhand, your experience with this game may vary from mine. My actual PS3 died a few years ago, so while I ripped the game myself, I was playing through an emulator. But with that in mind, let's get into it.
Extra Life in 2 days!
While for many Gameday has come and gone, this weekend is generally seen as the Rainday. For those of us who couldn't play on the official day of any reason this is traditionally when we get to it, and get to it we shall. Expect Rhel and I to begin bright and early on Saturday and go right on through to Sunday morning, and we are asking you to come on in for the fun!
If you want to watch our individual streams you can find Rhel here and you can find me right here, but where would the fun be if we kept the team apart? We can both be on your screen at once with a nice little site called Multitwitch... just join us here to get a view of it all!
And what is it a view of? Well Extra Life, of course! Throughout the year as gamers, we have sponsored and asked for sponsoring support so that we can play games to help sick kids who need it most, and tomorrow we will play the 24 hour marathon that was decided for! It's also still not too late to donate and help us help the kids.. it never is. They need help no matter the day after all, so please feel free to join us and help out. If you wish to reach our team page you can do so with the graphical link below.
Thank you again and see you this weekend!

Strange Brigade (PC) Review
Last year I got my group this game for Christmas with the intent that we would get together and bust up some mummies, but no one seemed ready to jump any time soon. This is not a shocker as we are PC gamers on Steam, so the idea of a backlog is far from alien to any of us. So when the dice chose it in this time of all things spooky, I decided that it would be ok to go it alone... and go it alone I did.
Now as my mouse rests, I have to say it was a pretty good choice, and while I will not do this again on my own, I will happily go again as part of that team. It was a fun time, but had that spark of just how much more fun it can be if you fight along side your friends.
Into the Dangerous World I Leapt (PC) Review
Once again we find ourselves at the end of a game picked to show off for Extra Life, but turned out to be a single sitting game. In this case, we sat down to a class project that looked like it was going to be an intriguing little horror game to play for the Halloween holidays.... I was hopeful since I have played other school project games that not only left me ecstatic, but hyped to see the game read a full release (incidentally since they treated it as an update, that game is back in my backlog now). This time, however, while I can appreciate what was attempted and even achieved, it didn't hit nearly as well.
Shadowgrounds (PC) Review
Today we get to visit an old game that hasn't spent very long in the backlog. Rather I picked it up for little more then I might have spent in the arcade to play a game of Mortal Kombat as a kid, so it was a no brainer to pick up and try. And promising to be "Doom 3 meets Smash TV" it sounded like it could be a really fun time (I love both games). I can't say I was wrong, but I also wouldn't call it as good as either individually. Come on in.
