GAYEST GAME EVER?

Borrowed this game off my friend and eeep! It's drowned in homosexuality...

Meet the main three characters, things already looking a bit homo? From what I've played so far, the three of them stick solidly together... guy at the back is openly gay, camp as fuck and fancies the living heterosexuality (or lack thereof) out of Bruce Lee wannabe at the front right there, funnily enough; it's not him that perverts the game, it's more down to the mass of innuendo's that occur in conversations between the three. 

The fact that instead of a basic attack; I can 'blow' 

the enemy is a good starting point...

Words such as 'stuffed' and 'mouthful' have a tendency of cropping up as well as mentions of you, the main character (Dante wannabe at the front left) being 'easy to please'... Oh and not to forget other characters having a mega fixation with your 'right arm' and what it could potentially DO... yes, hmmm...

I don't know what to think of this game as of yet... I'll definitely have to play some more and make a post focusing more on game-play as opposed to faggotry.

Due to oodles of requests...

I'll be starting to play through Resident Evil in a couple of weeks! See, your whining did pay off! That's not all, I will indeed be doing my first very own horrendously bad quality YouTube 'Let's Play' videos as I go through the game!

You have been warned...

05/11/11 update: My full Let's Play of Resident Evil can be found here.

Freedom to jam...

Moved into my new place, much to my joy; one of my house mates has a rock band kit! This is the first chance I've had to play any form of Rock Band or Guitar Hero merchandise at ease :3 At present, there's only one games to play on which is The Beatles: Rock Band... I'm not complaining, I'm not complaining at all!

Really enjoying playing through the story mode switching use between the drums and guitar... It's giving me good practise with the controls and at the same time, I'm ploughing my way through their discography and finding songs I'm fond of! 

It's an incredibly amusing game containing an array of fantastically fitting music videos that really bring life to the Beatles' drugged up little fantasy world... <3

Epicbattleness

My friend (to which I'm thankful) has lent me a few games he isn't playing at present to keep me occupied while I finish off my resit essay, one of which; N3: Ninety-Nine Nights I've particuarly enjoyed playing. It's very much like the Dynasty Warriors series in terms of you're an overpowered character accompanied by a handful of useless allies facing off against an enemy army... N3 however is more fantasy based since you're facing off against orcs, goblins, dragons and shit making use of magic and plenty of gravity defying attacks (not that Dynasty Warriors doesn't already provide us with plenty of those).

With much hacking and slashing to be had, could get quite tedious for some people, it's just something I myself can never get bored of.

Fever ABOUT FUCKING Time!

So last time I blogged about Bust-a-Groove I was whining about how shit I am compared to how good I used to be when I was little, well, now I'm back in full form! How I know is because I'm beginning to achieve Fever Times frequently. Fever Times occur once you complete a stage preforming above a certain level... and well, I find them pretty cool so I'm recording them and uploading them to YouTube since nobody else seems to have bothered... Here's one below so you can see for yourself!

26/07/11 update: re-uploading all videos in higher quality than original.
05/11/11 update: I've completed a Let's Play Short of Bust-a-Groove, that can be found here.

Big In Japan - Macross Ultimate Frontier

Bitchi... I mean Blogging

I downloaded 'Heroes of Three Kingdom' today... It was fairly good but just felt like playing Perfect World with an ancient Chinese theme. I've decided I'm going to uninstall them both because honestly... they're both getting very tedious, need I say much more?

Fantastic for multi-playing!

Played on the emulators I set up making use of my Xbox360 controllers with a friend the other day for the first time, glad I spent the time setting that shit up, woop! We got the opportunity to play an hour or so of a few BRILLIANT games, a couple of which we used to play as kids... Crash Bash and Mega Bomberman, fantastic. Also showed him a couple of overlooked games he hadn't played before; Rival Schools and Battle Hunter (less commonly known as The Hunter here in Europe) which he agreed are simply fantastic, I'll do some kind of content about these worthwhile games individually sometime in future.
