I tried for ages to do the Ice Storm mode (think that's what it was called, anyway) and just couldn't do well enough to get the gold badge for that mode. Also, I may now have to check out A Street Cat's Tale.... For me, the most annoying was Diamond Mine, but finally got a level it worked perfectly.

MidnightDragon Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Did Machinarium on both PS3 and PS4 today. It's a fun, cute, and easy puzzle point and click adventure. None of the puzzles are too difficult, but can easily be looked up if needed. I played it on both PS3 and PS4 since I enjoyed it. If I had a Vita, I would again, but sadly I don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 You can stack this game three times. Only a select few titles have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m referring to is only a select few games have stacks on PS3, Vita and PS4. Dead Nation is one such game, but once 2015 - 2016 rolled around developers only stuck to the PS4. Pretty soon we’re going to see the same thing with the PS5, once more people can purchase one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDragon Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 #84 Marsupilami: Hoobadventure This was a fun game that reminded me a lot of Donkey Kong Country. Some of the final levels were surprisingly tough, but everything is very straightforward. One of my only disappointments is there are three playable characters, yet the differences are purely cosmetic. You can get all trophies on easy, which gives you unlimited health, but it doesn't keep you from instant death. Extra lives are ridiculously easy to come by, especially if you play the bonus games from time to time. For the most part, the time trials aren't too difficult and you only need to bronze every level for platinum. The time for bronze is pretty forgiving, though I made mistakes and had to do one or two levels over since I failed to get the bronze due to mistakes. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Nicely done MD, congrats!! If it was similar to DKC, sounds like I may need to check this one out ? Sounds like that would be right up my alley anyway!! Those games were tons of fun and I def played the hell out of them once upon a time ? I also just realized, we are a mere 8 days away from Stray... I know you've gotta be excited for that one, I most certainly am ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been going okay so far, got all the "easy" stuff out of the way. I figured I would just play til I'm sick of it and see how far we get! If I'm any good maybe I'll keep going but if not oh well. That game is a beast unlike any other I've conquered up to this point! 21 hours ago, MidnightDragon said: July 12 July 13 Completed two more of the Arcade Archives in my collection.

I think they're pretty cheap tho at least, right? So hopefully you didn't waste a bunch of money on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDragon Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 #85 Road 96 In this game, you play as teens heading for the border trying to escape the brutal dictatorship of your country, so the story isn't happy, but still enjoyed it. Along the way, you'll meet characters and learn about their stories and how they tie to the overall arc. You have to reach the titular Road 96 six times and manage your energy and cash along the way. If you fail, your run is over, but it isn't difficult to do. There's also a character you meet who will end your run if you piss him off too much, but again, it's not hard to avoid that. They're all interesting and no journey is exactly the same. Nothing is too difficult. The collectibles are a tad random, but you'll easily get them before you finish your last playthrough. I would recommend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hmm interesting, I've never heard of this one but let me watch a video of it to familiarize myself... Okay, now that I'm better versed in it I can weigh in! It looks gorgeous, first and foremost ? I was also digging the tune that was playing, not sure if it was part of the OST but regardless...! Looks intriguing enough... Everything started out fun, just hitchhiking... Then all hell appeared to break loose!! At any rate, looks like fun and I'm glad it seems you enjoyed your time with it. Now then, on to Stray, shall we??! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 #86 Dragon Break Classic Like @kingofbattle8174, who inspired me to do this, my first and last foray into this "series". I chose the dragon one since I could live with it. I admittedly didn't fully know what I was doing for a while or I would've finished it sooner. Well, it wasn't as horrible as I expected, but don't see me buying any more of these in the future. Still, it isn't the worst game I've ever played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 MD, how could you??! Hahaha no no, only kidding. Everything is okay in small doses of course!! I have no room to talk tho... I spend a solid year gobbling up shovelware back in the day ? I hope it was at least enjoyable... Given the dragon theme I feel like you would have loved it regardless! Congrats on that shiny new 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 #87 Pac-Man Museum + There were games I liked and games I hated. All the missions are doable, but some will take some time. Work on getting all the decorations as you go along to avoid a huge grind later. The only grindy game is Pac-Man 256. Pac-Man Battle Royale is super easy, but boring as hell if you don't have anyone else to play with. Thankfully, many of the games autosave at the end of every level, so you can quit and reload if things go south. Doubt I would've finished some otherwise. Not every game does this, though. I enjoyed it overall, but don't think I'll want to play older Pac-Man for quite a while after this. #88 Carto This was a fun, cute, and easy little puzzle game. There isn't a compelling story, but I was glad to see the way it ended. It is long enough to be interesting, but short enough that it doesn't outstay its welcome. I definitely would recommend this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Woohoo, you did it ?? Congrats MD, very well played! I can certainly understand why you are feeling burned out after all those Pac-Man games back to back to back ? Now then, are you thinking Stray will be next??! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Had board games on the brain! The Game of Life 2 (August 20) This is a fun, albeit bare bones take on the board game classic. There used to be a bug where trophy tracking reset if you turned the game off. Thankfully, this was patched recently. That being said, the 1,000 spins trophy is completely unnecessary and just serves to artificially inflate the game and bore you half to death. Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 (August 26) If you played the first one, you know what to expect. The trickiest trophy is Pop Goes Perfection, where you have to answer all your questions correct. In the round that you have to guess which is the top answer, you have to make sure to pick the right one. Google is definitely your friend here, but sometimes the game has the wrong answers, which made it harder for me to get said trophy. Probably would've finished quicker if I was a bit more motivated, but not a bad game overall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 Crazy Machines Elements Much like Contraptions before it, this reminded me of The Incredible Machine, but found this one more enjoyable. However, it goes at a snail's pace. Moving things, saving, and loading all take forever. Still, it is pretty fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Congrats MD!! Oh wow, I played quite a bit of The Incredible Machine back in the day... If it's anything like that, it's prob worth checking out! Now then, I suppose you are on to TMNT next... Will be curious to hear how that goes!

Popular Post MidnightDragon Posted September 10, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) #89 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection An enjoyable collection of old school TMNT games. I enjoyed almost all the games, but one or two not so much. This was my first time playing the majority of them. Konami has hinted they may release a 2000s collection in the future. I'd be all over that! The fact you can save state and rewind is VERY helpful in many cases and the new enhancements were also a nice touch. My favorite is still Turtles in Time. Definitely would do this again and will once I have a PS5. Edited September 10, 2022 by MidnightDragon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Cowabunga, dude ? ? ? ? ? Glad you enjoyed it! And survived that damn dam level on the first one ? Off topic: the wife and I got a chance to finally play Stray last night ? I think you're gonna love it when you eventually take the plunge! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
