If you love Marvel, chances are you love Spider-man and if you’re a fan, you know he always hasn’t had the best games. But, I think this trailer and others we’ve gotten make me rest easier on the matter. First, I love the character designs and roster we know so far. I’m assuming we may be able to expect Goblin as our final boss if that’s Peter talking with Norman Osborn. I like MJ and Miles play a heavy role in the game. As far as story, it seems solid and the graphics are beautiful. I’m pretty excited and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Games that made me want a Nintendo
Yesterday I talked a bit about Games that made want an X Box and there I mentioned how I only had a Nintendo 64 and GameCube. I have friends that absolutely swear by Nintendo through thick and thin and so I wanted to talk about some games that make me want a Nintendo. In no particular order I’ll begin with the franchise I have a little experience with..
1. Kirby-
One of my favorite N64 games was Kirby 64 and to this day, I haven’t had a gaming experience so weird but epic at the same time. I’d love to replay it again. I also want to see what else the series offers in cool power combinations and imagination.
2. Metroid –
Back in the old days, I played the demo for Metroid: Prime for GameCube and fell in love with it. I always like the Giger influences of the earlier games, plus Samus was always one of my Smash Bros. favorites.
3. Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem-
I love a good horror game, and I’ve heard many tell me how much this game scared the hell out of them. I’ve heard stories about the sanity meter and how eerie the game becomes after it becomes distorted. It sounds like a game we need today.
4. F-Zero
I’m not a traditional racing fan. Cars going fast bore me. But going light speed through bright colored maps in a insanely aggressive slam-feast, hell yeah I want to play that game!
5. Legend of Zelda –
Believe it or not I never played a Zelda game in my life. I know Link, Zelda, and Ganon by name and name only. I heard rave reviews for several of the games, including Breath of the Wild. Someday I’d love to see what all the hype is about.
I hope you enjoyed my list and may the gaming gods bring you glory
Trials Rising (preview)
Trials Rising is a bike game that is going to spend a ton of time pissing people off, but will be a ton of fun. Just like its predecessor Trials Fusion. The game involves driving assorted dirt bikes across insane tracks full of jumps and obstacles to to finish line for the best time to get bronze, silver or gold medals to unlock harder and harder tracks. Occasionally you will need to get points instead, maybe see if you can fling your rider a set distance or some other challenge.
Trials Rising has added a few new features including a tandem bike multiplayer mode. Two people, one bike, each person providing 50% of the normal riding power and riding ability. This to me sounds like it will be ruining some friendships. Either way the game sounds like a blast, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Games that made want an X Box
I’ve never had an X Box in my life. My gaming experience has solely been PlayStation with two turns at Nintendo with the 64 and GameCube. PlayStation was my old reliable, but even I have to admit, the backwards compatibility with X Box is extremely tempting and there are some games I’d like to try, or in one case dive deeper into, so lets begin the list with that particular series…
1. The Star Wars: Jedi Knight games-
I briefly played the sequel on GameCube, going straight for the lightsaber multiplayer levels which were fun as hell. Seriously, with solid FPS and sweet saber combat, how is this not on any Star Wars fan’s list, as with…
2. The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games-
These games were legendary amongst my friends and after I fell in love with the Mass Effect trilogy, the thought of Star Wars having a huge epic story like that peeked my interest hard. I’ll get to it one day.
3. Condemned: Criminal Origins-
The first game of the series, an X Box, shows up on many lists of horror greats for its freaky atmosphere and brutal melee combat. The sequel, not so much. Regardless, I always love a good horror game.
4. Gears of War series-
I can’t lie, one thing and one thing alone utterly sold me on this series: having a chainsaw bayonet on your gun. I like monsters, I like carnage, and I love any reason I can get my hands on a chainsaw. Oh and I hear the stories are solid too…
5. Halo series-
The series that pretty much defined X Box. I heard one and two have great stories but then they fell to the Mutilplayer craze, but I’d still like to see what all the hype was about.
I hope you enjoyed the list and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Devil May Cry 5 (preview)
Devil May Cry is a series I have never really got into, not for any real reason. I can’t say anything bad about the story or controls, it just wasn’t my thing. This one still doesn’t catch my interest. There are certain things tho I have to admit, first this game looks great. The trailer at E3 also looked fun as hell.
It has also been confirmed that we will be getting more information in August as reported by VG247 the article also contains more info, so for those interested I suggest checking that out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
The Order: 1886
I know what you maybe thinking, why the hell am I talking about one of the PS4’s original launch games. I’ve never seen a review that called 1886 a masterpiece; mainly every review I’ve seen for this game says it was a huge disappointment. I wanted to play it as long as its been out, and because I found it on a huge sale, I had my chance. Well, I only wasted 4 bucks…We follow a secret order descended from King Arthur’s court going through England in 1886 with their steampunk weapons fighting werewolves and keeping the peace.
First and foremost, the game looks and sounds great. Good thing too, because you will be doing a lot of walking around and looking at random items you find. Primarily the game is a third person cover shooter with a lot of QTEs thrown in. 3 chapters in I found myself getting pretty pissed at the monotony of the chapters. I got to fight the werewolves which was pretty lame; there A.I is pretty dimwitted. I noticed after they attack, they go right back to the original position and attack again. I can’t call this game truly terrible, but 3 chapters in I’m starting to believe the other reviews. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Octopath Traveler (Preview)
Octopath Traveler,what else is there to say besides well, I don’t own a Nintendo Switch, but this game makes me wish I did. This turn based RPG from Square Enix will release July 13th and is the story of, well 8 different characters. The visuals are inspired by retro RPGs which is a trend I as an old man (in gaming terms at least) thoroughly enjoy and appreciate. Check out the video below.
Control (Preview)
Control from this years E3 by Remedy is quite the enigma. Its an enigma in that it doesn’t tell us much. We know it has a female main character, the has an odd shape shifting sort of gun and she seems to have super natural powers. The game however does look interesting and it does have some nice graphics to it. Remedy also has the titles behind it to back up such an odd title being worth watching that include Alan Wake and Quantum Break. The game is also being published by 505 games. Watch the video below and and let me know what you think, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Resident Evil 2 Remake
This is one of those series me and @torstenvblog disagree one. We both agree the stories are great and the series iconic, but we have had more than one argument over this aspect. The early games in the series actually sucked. There are 2 viewpoints on this one, those that know they sucked, and those that are wrong. Don’t get me wrong, the stories were great and the defined a genre, but the controls even at the time were garbage. The visuals were never that good and don’t even get me started on how nonsensical the puzzles were. You trekked all over the damn mansion, or in the case of 2 the police station, doing stuff like finding lighters or arrow heads in places they would never be to solve puzzles in places that made no sense that nobody in their right mind would have figured out. It’s why the first play though of the games took 20 hours and the 2nd took 3.
So why did everyone put up with it and have such fine memories of it? Well honestly they were freaky as hell and the stories were absolutely amazing. We all wanted to see what the hell Umbrella corp was going to do next. So when this rumor started years ago and was confirmed we all got excited. Except @torstenvblog because he is a purist and got all pissy about them changing the game play. Then E3 happened, and now even he knows this is about to be amazing. So I shall leave the video below, let me know what you think and if you fall into the group that is right or wrong. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
