So my hun has been playing through the last Arkham game, Arkham Knight (I'm not counting Kill The Justice League as being part of the Arkham universe. I've had the first Arkham game on my steam library for the longest time. So hey why not, lets go through it to see what all that hype was about years ago. The story begins with Batman delivering The Joker to Arkham Asylum, a big high max security prison that houses a bunch of Batman's other big name villains. After arriving though, Batman seems to think that something is up given how easy it was to capture Joker this time around, surely enough he was right as while escorting Joker to his cell, Joker breaks free and quickly gains control over the entire prison. As you wander around the prison, you start to learn of a new big plan that Joker has been creating. One of the medical staff of Arkham Asylum has been experimenting on Bane to create a new type of venom (that green goo stuff that makes Bane super strong) called Titan. J

  I feel like everyone has some sort of experience when it comes to a Mario Party game. The series has been going on for around 25 years. There's been 12 mainline Mario Party games, with few spinoff games, with all of these games floating around, there's going to be some discourse over which of these is considered the BEST Mario Party. Lots of people say 2 because its the first one to actually get things right. Some say it's DS because of how chaotic it is. But lets get some actual numbers in here. Mario Party Superstars has a customizable card you can use for online play, and one of the things you can display on your card is what your favorite Mario Party game is, so lets use this to see what people say is the best.  Now do keep in mind, when you start the game up, the default option it picks is Mario Party 1, so with that in mind it, and Mario Party 10 being the 2nd best one seems wrong considering reception of the game was terrible. The list says that the worst Mario Par

  Why did I do this? Getting Over It is a strange game, you control this man whos in a pot. Your mouse movements control the hammer he has, and your goal is to get to the top of this weirdly constructed mountain. The mountain is made of random stuff, rocks, trees, boxes furniture, playground equipment, snowy rocks, random buildings. There's no consistent theming as it changes as you climb up the mountain. As you climb the mountain, you'll hear narration from Bennet Foddy, the creator of this game. Bennet is a weird character in this, he tells that this game is an homage to a game called 'Sexy Hiking' and that he values what makes 'Sexy Hiking' interesting to him, its difficulty. He values the challenge that 'Sexy Hiking' offered. In his mind, the difficulty of challenge makes things more appealing, in this modern age of the internet, where wins can be tossed out like candy, especially in the mobile game department, in an age where difficulty in games is

  I really like April Fools day, and that's mainly to see what sort of dumb stuff companies will do for this day, and the chance that there will be a new sbemail (if you know, you know). Last year for April Fools, SEGA announced that they were going to be killing Sonic.  So why is Sonic dead you may ask? Well the story for the game explains that its actually Amy's birthday, and to celebrate, her and some of her friends go on this super high tech train for a murder mystery party. You play as waiter who works on the train, and after an accident causes you to get knocked out. You wake to find out that Sonic is dead. It's up to you and Tails to figure out everyone's alibis and figure out who murdered Sonic. The game is a visual novel, you'll have to search the area to find clues and figure out what happened in the time while you were knocked out. Once you have all the evidence in the area, you can begin questioning the people who are in the current train car that you ar

  This is one of those special types of games. The type of game where you wish that could be able to experience it again for the first time. This game will mess you up, you will be struck in the feels hard. It is hard to go into this game without talking about the story. But I also don't want to ruin the story by talking about it. So I'll be a little vague when describing the story. What you need to know for the story is this. Oneshot follows this strange cat like creature called Niko. Niko finds themselves waking up in this weird and broken down house, they see a computer and turn it on where the computer tells you that this place Niko is in is falling apart, and they need to help Niko leave. That your actions here will affect Niko, and that most importantly.... you only have one shot. Unlike the other messages that were being told in the in game computer, the message that warns you of only having one shot warns you with a windows pop up. More importantly though, it uses the a

  I love the Kirby games. It is something I don't really talk about that often, but I love that silly little guy. Though I did have a bit of a strange introduction to Kirby though, that being with the spinoff racing game, Kirby Air Ride. To say that say that I love this game would be an understatement, this game is such a great time......well, sorta. Kirby Air Ride is split into 3 different modes, Air ride, Top Ride, and City Trial. Starting with Air Ride. Air Ride is the main racing mode of Air Ride, shocker I know. Air Ride only has 9 tracks, which is a bit small for a racing game of this ear. The tracks all have something visual about them that sticks with you, aside from its theme. Theres something in the track that you always think about which helps it stand out. Like Fantasy Meadows giant windmill. The rushing water of Celestial Valley, The weird neon light up of Checker Knights, the gigantic whale in Frozen Hillside. I could go on. The tracks are just ok, they feel fine to r
