Never played the previous Team ICO games, always wanted to. Couldn’t afford them when they originally released, by the time I caught up they immediately fell down the backlog.

How would you compare the control frustrations to its predecessors?

Sounds exactly like Shadow of the Colossus to me. Wonky controls combined with excellent everything else. Heh, something tells me I may feel the same about this game. Idk, weird controls are my forte. As for hints, well unless the environments have much subtler hints as to where to go, I can’t see it being needed. Hell I got lost in Shadow of the…[Read more]

To follow up on the TLG talk from a few days ago… I beat the game on Sunday, then helped a friend beat it Monday night via shareplay. There is a lot to like about the game, great story, great sound and visuals. But the controls are really bad. I don’t think I’ve played a game that was this frustrating since Too Human. I’m working on a review for…[Read more]

Since I last checked in I banged out the Day of the Tentacle remaster and have begun working through Uncharted 4. Loved Day of the Tentacle – I had never played that in my youth. The puzzles were actually more fun and less frustrating (trial and error) than Grim Fandango’s

I’ve barely had time to game lately at all. In the last couple of days I started working through a copy of Uncharted 4 that a friend loaned me. It’s actually pretty solid – I phrase it that way because I was not in love with the earlier entries in the series

I may be on tonight, depending on what all Im doing. Plus, I’ve got some games to catch up on after renting FF15 and mainlining it for over a week. Great game, though flawed in many ways. Its light-years better than 13, and that’s a great thing.

I bought it today, I can stream parts of it if you want, or even share play if it’s available, just sign on PSN and send me a message. I’ll be on most of tonight and all of tomorrow.

I’m swamped. I only get enough time to play 3DS on the weekends.

Oh, I’m considering buying The Last Guardian, but I’m waiting for more reviews. The ratings of reviewers I trust have been rather mixed. I loved Shadow of the Colossus but TLG looks like they upped the frustration three-fold. I’m hoping an update addresses the frame rate and…[Read more]

Been playing Final Fantasy XV (rental). And…I’m very impressed. The gameplay immediately sold it for me, but the character interactions, the beautiful scenery, the open-world mentality that made me fall in love with FF12, and just the overall atmosphere make this the best Final Fantasy in a loooooong time. I wish the camera was better during…[Read more]

I still have to try VR out, but my initial thoughts have me thinking that VR would be perfect for episodic content. I’m thinking something closer to how TV shows work rather than the garbage game developers try to shove on us now. If I had a game for VR I’d try to split the entire experience into 30-60 minute long episodes and either release the…[Read more]
