Longest and most boring of them all yet...hopefully the throwback ones are better

Saturday 29 December 2012

First ios game. Felt dirty...but quite a nice port of the original. Captured the flow nicely. Good visuals and awesome tunes. Slightly frustrating in points due to controls, but this is to be expected with any touch game really.

The series only SNES entry ticked off now. Only PSX entry up next. This one was an odd variety of difficulty...levels themselves were kind of tricky, but all robot masters were very easy. Wily bosses were tricky and Wily himself was a bastard. Strange variety...

Last of the NES Mega Mans down. But not the last classic one. This one was pretty hard...but the Mega Man/Rush combo modes were very cool. On to the singular SNES entry!

Another one down. Half way through the original series. Reviewers were right it seems...quality did start to decline a bit after #4

Very good sequel. Both these games are crying out for HD remakes. Despite their age, still have an awesome story and did a lot with the limited technology of the time. This one established many of the conventions of the Metal Gear series. Awesome stuff. Still very playable to this day. Still hard too...bring on more Metal Gear

Still surprisingly playable even to this day. Good to see how it all begun. Game development-wise. Not chronological story line-wise. That will come soon.... These early games need modern HD remakes

Wow. What a head fuck. Can't tell if this game is genuinely very hard, hard to control or if I just suck and am too used to modernisms. Apart from all that, fantastic stuff. Thought provoking and awesome and did not want to put it down. On with the other ones!

Quite significantly longer than the first one. And plagued by the same control difficulties in that you would do a 180 quite regularly for no reason. Other than that, another fun Android shooter and total Halo rip off

Saturday 15 December 2012

Moving through the original series. Every bit as hard as I recall...

Classic Castle Crashing action. Much easier with 4 people. And insane

Thursday 13 December 2012

Starting through the original Mega Man series

Wednesday 12 December 2012

Meh...decent enough but just seemed very small-scale, tame and boring after playing the similar but more more grandiose Prototype games. Dunno if I'll do inFamous 2

Thursday 6 December 2012

Interesting adventure. Of sorts... Fucking difficult though. Funny too. BLEIGH!

Tuesday 4 December 2012

Infinitely better than the second game. Worried me at the start because it felt very similar only in a jungle...but thankfully, it differentiated itself very well. Loads and loads to do. Plenty of variety in the missions, good story and skillset. Not to mention awesome eye candy. Bravo Ubisoft. You finally got Far Cry right. Feels good being a jungle warrior
