LTTP: JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT...

Kind of like that guy who is just now watching every episode of lost. They’ve ended up a little late to the party. Well damnit I’m just as excited about stuff that everyone else has probably already played and I’m going to talk about it anyways.

I've been a PC elitist for a very long time. I last owned a 360 in... 2008? I hit some financial rough spots and ended up parting with it for much-needed cash. However recently I got a job - and with that job I once again have discretionary income. Despite protests from part of my conscience, I got myself a fancy 250GB 360 and a pile o' games. Long story short? I really missed it.

LTTP: CAINE'S ARCADE

Kind of like that guy who is just now watching every episode of lost. They’ve ended up a little late to the party. Well damnit I’m just as excited about stuff that everyone else has probably already played and I’m going to talk about it anyways.

I saw a few post about this a few months back and never saw the video. I vaguely understood what it was about and saw that people thought it was great. But for some reason I never decided to watch it, Until today. This is easily one of the most heart warming stories I've heard in a while. Caine is a 9 year old boy who has built an elaborate arcade in front of his fathers used auto parts store. His one and only customer sets him up for the best day of his life.

LTTP: ILOMILO

Kind of like that guy who is just now watching every episode of lost. They've ended up a little late to the party. Well damnit I’m just as excited about stuff that everyone else has probably already played and I’m going to talk about it anyways.

What first drew me to ilomilo was the cute whimsical art style that was present throughout the game. A sort of patchwork textures (that reminded me very much of Little Big Planet) that make up soft cubic puzzle worlds for the player to navigate through. ilo and milo are the main characters and are forgetful best friends who often find themselves separated, and the landscape they must cross to find each other again is no easy task.

LTTP: BATMAN ARKHAM CITY

 

Kind of like that guy who is just now watching every episode of lost. They’ve ended up a little late to the party. Well damnit I’m just as excited about stuff that everyone else has probably already played and I’m going to talk about it anyways. 

After a few hiccups in the process I finally have gotten some time with Batman Arkham City. A sequel to a game that most people had major doubts could be done properly. After getting a taste as to how good a Batman game could be Rocksteady did what might be the best thing possible in video games. They made you feel like Batman.
