Weekly Roundup

[ggallegos1]

Wii (we decided to power through a bunch of light gun shooters over the weekend).
House of the Dead Overkill - best one of the bunch. Such a fun shooter and a good upgrade system.
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles - good summary of RE0, 1 and 3. The fiance will not play the games as they are but she enjoys the RE universe so this was a good one to get her into. Weapon upgrades are slow and not usually worth it, that's the only bad part.
Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles - much better sequel. Better pacing, smoother gunplay, and weapon upgrades both attainable and make a difference in gameplay.
Dead Space Extraction - fun but glitchy. The aiming reticules, ironically, take up a lot of space and make precise shooting for limbs more difficult. Weapons besides the rivet gun and plaa cutter are more novelties.
Ghost Squad - such an awesome game. Short, sweet, and very arcadey.

[Switch
Crosscode - just started this one. I like the nods to MMOs it makes, while still having some charm and addictive gameplay. Challenging for sure.

Wii (we decided to power through a bunch of light gun shooters over the weekend).

This is a great idea! Love all the games in your op.

I spent some time w/ the GunBlade/Machineguns double pack for Wii. Really impressive ports.

I'm just playing Genesis and PC Engine games. None for any length of time. In the mood to play something, just not sure what????

KOF02UM
Cotton Reboot (This is really good)

[Late]

PS4 - Resident Evil 7, borrowed a friends PSVR and it transformed a lukewarm horror game into an actually scary one.

Finished it, kind of boring all in all with the final battle being a set piece where you couldn't actually do anything. Got the 1st ending where you save the Mrs. Cba to play it again to get the second one. Tried the free add-on where you play as Chris in the mine, zzz, looks and feels like Quake 4 single player, chicken neck McIncest as a master mind villain and the reformed good Umbrella sucks. -> To the library media donation shelf

PCE

Devil's Crush
Ghosts and Goblins
Alien Crush

Genesis

Ghosts and Goblins
Virtua Racing

I have a "Neptune" console and a MSDEXP and trying things. With the Mega SD plugged in the 32x slot, 32X and MD carts can be played but no CD or Mastersystem. Plugging the MSD in the MSDEXP and the Neptune plays CD games but no MD, 32X or Mastersystem games. I'll need two Genesis/MD either way I look at or swap a 32x in one console. What I'll probably do is the Neptune for 32X and Genesis with a Everdrive Pro and a Genesis with a Mega SD for everything else including Gen carts.

PS4

Control- This is really good. Wasn't on my radar at all until I came across some gameplay footage, I had assumed it was like Infamous or one of those other open world action games. It's not and it's super trip. Definitely some Alan Wake vibes.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon- Love it.

Cure of the moon is a lot of fun.

Yeah, much more enjoyable than OG Castlevania.

9/5/21
Worked 30 out of 31 days last month, but finally got some time off

Switch
Tetris 99

Turned my 360 on for the first time in a while
360
Earthworm Jim 3D - Had so much fun with this until the Pete level which frustrates me.
Virtua Fighter 2
Outrun 2SP - Have to play this everytime I turn on the 360

Astro City Mini
Rad Mobile- Finished all of the stages, I imagine not too many completed this in the arcade there are so many levels.
Alex Kid and the Lost Stars

Dreamcast - Same thing haven’t played this in ages. Side note this is the only system I own that unfortunately has yellowed on me.
Capcom VS SNK Pro - I just picked up the Pro version I never got it despite being a Joe player, have had the vanilla one and 2 forever so was always looking for a decent price which I finally found. Just ran through this, beat Geese.

 

[ggallegos1]

PS4
Bayonetta - beat this one on a casual run through. Combat system still holds up well and I forgot how much fun it was experimenting with combos and weapons.

Final Fantasy XII - started this. Never played the PS2 original, so I'm excited to see how this goes.

Switch
Crosscode - fun and challenging action RPG. Love the soundtrack and graphics. Made it to chapter 5 so far

PS4

Control
Hollow Knight- Lttp on this, damn is it good.
Rabi Ribi- Disgustingly cute with possibly the worst story ever but super solid gameplay and amazing soundtrack.

Pro has been my favorite, since Stop n’ Save Software was the place to buy imports. ^_^

The soundtrack, backgrounds-love love love, everything about 1.5!
