Catching Up...

Both sticks up? Must be playing Katamari.

It's been a rough few months for blogging time. But I wanted to do a quick catch up post before I continued on my journey. In the past couple of fortnights I've played the following games:


Wind Waker

I recently re-purchased a Gamecube and I felt like I owed it to the little black box to give it the sweet load that is Wind Waker.

I beat this game in college, when I had gob bluths of free time, now the sailing sections seem like enormous wastes of time. I got through the first few temples and then put it away. I was really only playing it to hold me over until...

The Last of Us

The game I've been psyched about for over a year finally saw it's release last month. It took me a solid 20 hours to beat and it's one of the most memorable games of this generation - in both story and gameplay.  The characters are expertly written and the dialogue is fantastic.



Ellie is one of my favorite characters of all time - across any medium, and the late game villain, David is one of the greatest bad guys ever.

Get it, cherish it, cover it in honey and rub your weiner on it. It's that good.



Life Force

My absolute favorite game when I was a kid still holds the softest of spots in my gamer heart. For me, this is as perfect as the shoot-em-up genre gets. Tons of character and color. Wholly unique levels, terrorizing boss battles, and a difficulty curve that's just right. 

I beat this with a buddy a couple weeks ago using the thirty lives code, but I wanted to do it legit. I beat this thing without dying once. Because dying a single time means losing all your precious upgrades, and once that happens you might as well die in real life. Am I right? This guy knows what I'm talkin about.

It took me about two weeks of practice, but it was achieved! And it was awesome.


The Game Adventure is back, baby! But I have no idea what to play next. Give me some suggestions, spam commenter who's been sending me sexy links!
