The question is kind of rhetorical...of course, there are good super-hero video games. But it seems there are more bad ones than good ones. That seems kind of strange when you think that super-heroes and action video games ought to be a marriage made in crossover heaven...but it hasn't always been that way.
Batman has probably been the worst offender. Has any super-hero had more bad games than the big Bat guy? There was Batman: Dark Tomorrow and Batman Forever and so many others. There
For awhile, I have been thinking I would never get another gaming system...I figured I had more than enough systems and games to keep me busy for the rest of my life. But I decided to rethink that and get a Playstation 3 since I've been told at my favorite DVD site that the PS3 is also a very fine Blu-ray player and I've been thinking of getting one of those. So the system will serve two purposes, as both a game playing machine and an upgrade in my movie-watching system. I ordered a PS3 on We
Catwoman is a game for the Nintendo GameCube system...it probably also came out for the PS2 and original Xbox which were the other consoles it was sharing shelves with at that time. I had some time to kill this evening so I put it in for about a half-hour and fooled around with it for a bit. One thing I found out is it's virtually impossible to get killed in this game. There was gunfire all around me and it knocked me back here and there but my character never fell down and died. Even a fall
I got 3 more games on Monday...two for the original Playstation and one for the Xbox...
Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (PS1)
Batman: Gotham City Racer (PS1)
Aquaman (XBox)
I have heard that Aquaman is one of the worst games ever...as bad as Superman 64? Never having played Superman 64, I guess I'll never know. I was thinking the other day that there was a Lobo game and I'd need to get that if I'm to have every DC Comics video game that was made for my systems but it looks like it ne
As I wrote in my last entry, I recently decided to get a Playstation 3...partly because a new gaming system interested me but mostly because it gave me a Blu-ray player. I've already bought a half-dozen Blu-ray titles with another 7 coming via the mail soon. But I have 3 PS3 games now...with anaother on the way as well. So here are my first 4 games for the Playstation 3...
Red Dead Redemption--I also mentioned in my last entry that this could be my first game for the PS3 and it was indeed
I received 3 games today, all for the Xbox. I think 2 of the 3 were new and one used (I'm not home as I type this so I can't double-check just now). The games I got:
1. Superman: The Man of Steel
2. Madden NFL 2009
3. Major League Baseball 2K7
I believe the MLB 2K7 was the last baseball game for the Xbox and I think Madden 2009 was the very last game for the system period.
Added note: I have now double-checked and only one of the games, the Superman one, was new. The two sports
I recently discovered none of my local stores carried the color ink cartridge I need for my HP printer so I ordered one online...while I was at it, I ordered a DS game from the same place at the same time. The game I got was Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? This is yet another in the subset I have going of DS games based on TV game shows. I also have Family Feud, The Price Is Right, 1 Vs. 100, and two editions of Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? I guess I should get Jeopardy! next. The Mill
Last year I thought I was done with the PS2, so much so that I put what I thought were all my games for the system and let my sister-in-law give them away to a nephew of hers. Then I came across one game I missed including...then another...then I found a third that was actually inside my PS2. I couldn't find the case for it so I must've included the case and manual for that game (Rumble Roses) among the games I gave away so now I only have the game disc itself. Maybe I'll stop up at Gamestop
Today marks the fifth mailday of the week...and the fifth day of the week I have received at least one video game. This time, none of the games were super-hero games. Interestingly, all 3 of the games I got today are games I owned before...but which I eventually sold or gave away. So now I have copies of them again...all 3 games are for the original Xbox...
1. ESPN NFL 2K5
2. Halo
3. Halo 2
I've had my DS for awhile...4 or 5 years, I think. Surprisingly, though, I don't have that many games for it. I seem to get them in spurts...I find a few here and there I want...then I go months (sometimes maybe a year or more) before I think to get anymore. This past week, I got 4 more...
1. Batman: The Brave and the Bold
2. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
3. Major League Baseball 2K10
4. Retro Atari
The baseball game is the only one I've played so far. I like it...thoug
I was wondering if I could receive at least one game in the mail every mailday this week since I had ordered over a dozen of them. Today is day #4 and I received yet another...so only 2 more days to go! Today's arrival...
Catwoman for the GameCube
I have heard this is a pretty bad game but I've also been trying recently to complete my collection of all the games featuring DC Comics characters for systems I own. That means I even have to get (shudder!) Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis! So
I have lately been getting more into playing my PS2 system, which is interesting because at one point I thought I had given up on the system and had given away what I thought were all my games for it. Later I found out I still had about 3 games I had temporarily misplaced for it, got one for Christmas and had bought some others so my game library for it has swelled back up to 11 titles for it. Today I decided to order a few m ore titles so I headed to a favorite online buying site and have now
I recently got what I figure will be the last games I buy myself this year so I thought it would be a good time to list what I have for each system. Some of these are precise counts while others are approximate. I do want to type up all my games before too long so I know exactly what I have. I've done that with 3 or 4 systems but have several more to go. These numbers could change by the end of the year because I'm taking part in a Secret Santa gift exchange. In that, I could get another ha
In my last entry (written within the last hour), I said I might get video games every mailday this week. Now today's mail has arrived and I did get one video game today:
Superman: Shadow of Apokolips for the PS2
I usually try to be careful when I buy a used game through Amazon...most sellers will tell you if you get everything. Once in awhile, I forget...or the description is lacking any information of what you get or don't get. This is a used game but the disc looks to be in very goo
In the last few years, I have sold or given away several of my gaming systems. While I still enjoy gaming, I don't play as often as I used to and it seems many systems just don't hold much interest for me anymore. I've been selling or giving away systems I just don't play anymore...I figure if I haven't played it in a year or two, why keep it? Here are the systems I have struck from my collection in the last 2-3 years...
Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Atari Lynx
ColecoVision
Nintendo 64
Sega
I am continuing to play through my PS2 games and thought I'd go ahead and play my other 2 baseball titles yesterday...
3. MVP 07 NCAA Baseball
4. MLB 08: The Show
Regarding the first, I'm not sure if the title is supposed to be MVP 07 NCAA Baseball as that's how it is on the front cover (and on the disc) or if it's supposed to be MVP NCAA Baseball 07 as that's how it is on the spine of the case. Since it's also the former on the instructiion manual, that's 3 of 4 places it has that tit
Awhile back, I read that they were going to do some video games based on The Price Is Right...I'm kind of surprised they never did them before. At any rate, I understand they are out now...there's a version for the Wii, one for the DS and a version for the PC and Mac. I don't own a Wii, so I won't be getting that so I might consider getting one for either the PC or the Nintendo DS. I need to research this...and I know many games based on TV game shows, at least recently, have been rather lack
Introductiion--I recently ordered a GameCube game which will give me 151 games...I figured I needed to play through my GC games and decide which was the least of that collection so I could let it go...and keep my GC library at 150 titles. I've been thinking it over and have decided this might be the right time to start playing through all my games and write up my thoughts on each. I don't really consider these reviews but just some random thoughts once I've played them. Some games (like today
Regarding video games (and DVDs and audio CDs), I just have way too much stuff. Now I'm thinking of not only weeding out the lesser games but possibly also throwing out some complete systems (and, of course, the game libraries that go with those). Some would say I'm crazy and that I'll miss those systems. But in the last year, I've given away both my Atari 2600 and Sega Genesis systems and I don't miss them one bit. So I feel I can throw out a couple more systems I've never been into all that mu
In my last entry, I mentioned that I got some games for my Nintendo DS last week. I also started ordering some cheap games (some new, some used) that are for the last generation of game systems (GameCube, PS2, Xbox). This happened because I started getting interested in reading my reprint books of old comic books and that led to my interest in getting more super-hero video games and that led to a few others. I think I wound up ordering about 15 games. I actually only ordered one for the PS2
I'm taking part in a Secret Santa gift exchange this Christmas (an annual tradition) and my package arrived today. I have no idea yet who it's from and the games are gift-wrapped. Specifially, there are 3 wrapped packages and each package is thick enough to contain two games, unless one contains something extra such as a microphone (for a Karaoke game, perhaps) which would require thicker packaging. As everyone does, I provided a want list (participants are urged to give from their own collec
I haven't been doing much in the way of game buying for awhile...that is one reason I haven't posted anything here in nearly a year. But recently I've been interested in reading about older comic books...and by the same way of thinking, my interest in video games inspired by comics has also been reactivated. I don't know if I want to get every super-hero game available for systems I own...but I might consider going for all such games involving the heroes of DC Comics. I've been ordering sever
I have a half-closet that I use to store most of my video games and consoles and I went through it yesterday in search of some games to give in my Secret Santa exchange. I was looking for some other things, too. I didn't find everything I was looking for but I did manage to find some games I had misplaced, 5 titles for my GameCube collection. These included All-Star Baseball 2003 and 2004, MVP Baseball 2004, Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary and The Sims 2. Once I rearrange these into my GC lib
I got one game today...the last day I'll get a game until at least Monday so my consecutive days of getting a game ends at six. Today I received Batman & Robin for the original Playstation. This is the first game I've gotten for the original Playstation in quite awhile. I have no idea what the last one was. I actually have 3 more coming, though...all Batman games. Of course, the only unfortunate thing about getting this game finally is now I have to actually play it.
I don't plan on buying many games anymore (I don't have a current system and I don't know that there are many games coming out on the PS2 that interest me) but I love baseball games and last week decided to get one of the new baseball games...another reason is I wonder if they'll be phasing out the PS2 soon so maybe it doesn't have many baseball titles in its future. I nearly considered getting Major League Baseball 2K9 but then I read that it was getting mixed reviews so instead I wound up get
