Reviews Blog and Action April

On 04/05/2013 at 03:12 PM by Casey Curran

It's been a while since I pimped my stuff at Rotorob, so rather than provide you guys with fresh new content, I'm just going to regurgitate the crusty month old reviews I haven't posted here yet.

Serious Sam: Double D XXL

This game was awesome. It was basically Contra with right stick aiming and a Serious Sam coat of paint, but man did that coat help the game a lot. Humor was great and there was an awesome feature that let you tie guns together to make a super gun. It's just as awesome as it sounds.

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness: Mirror of Fate

Not a great game, but a very fun one. Combat was fun and had a nice blend of platforming and puzzles. Best part was you get to play as Simon, Trevor, and Alucard. Though Alucard had a whip- not sure who green lit that decision.

MUD- FIM Motocross World Championship

That's a stupid fucking name. Mud. Why would you name a game that? No one is going to take someone saying "Yeah, I want to buy Mud," seriously. Oh, the game itself? It's boring, derivative, and only exists to make the five people who like this kind of racing happy.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken

This game could have been good. It had a lot of polish and I could tell the developers put a lot of time into it. But the level design and controls were pretty bad. Also did that stupid 2.5D thing with platform edges so you can never tell where the ledge really begins.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus

This game was awesome. The only problem was it was a pretty bad port. Framerate kept shooting down, graphic quality was always lowering, and only 30 FPS at its best. Get the PS3 version instead.

Wrote this review Tuesday. Don't remember a thing about it.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory

Yeah......

As for now I'm playing a review copy of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. Expect me to tear that game a new one. But seeing as I'm playing through the God of War Anthology still, picked up Ninja Gaiden Sigma because Sigma 2 got me in the mood for more of that series, and snagged Metal Gear Rising when I saw it on sale, April is the month of action games for me. I even got the Devil May Cry HD Collection. So since there's nothing I'm interested in coming this month, I'm just going to spend it playing all kinds of action games. There will probably be a few blogs on these.

I'll be getting Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge next month. Should be fun! At some point I also want to snag Revengence and DMC.

Based on what I've played, I'd recommend you get Revengence and DmC before Razor's Edge. It's not very good.

I second that. I think you'd really like DmC, Ben and if you look around you can probably find it at about the same you'd pay for NG3RE.

MUD.... I want to buy MUD! hahahahah

I thought the same thing. Dirt was a good name for a game. Mud on the other hand...why?

Copycat. :) Just joking!

Well, I have to thank you for giving me this great idea to pimp my reviews.

That Serious Sam game sounds pretty good. I could use some self aware Contra in my life. Also, super guns.

04/05/2013 at 11:25 PM

I think you'd really like it and it's on Steam. I'm willing to bet you'd want a 360 controller for it if you were to play it, but it would probably work well with a keyboard and mouse considering how the aiming works.

Well I for one am glad you reviewed Neptunia allowed me to get a cheap used copy :D

04/07/2013 at 04:52 PM

I'm glad too because I turned the cash I got into Ninja Gaiden Sigma and the DMC HD Collection

I see my choice to wait for NG3: RE to drop in price might be a good one. The demo was filled with issues and it just seemed like even after three attempts by the dev I'd still be disappointed in this one. I am going to jump on Skype one night when I get the chance as I'd love to just discuss some Ninja Gaiden in depth since you have gotten more into this series since we last chatted.

Also Alucard with a whip? Blech.

04/07/2013 at 02:52 PM

Yeah, I should finish NG Sigma first. I've probably played the first level countless times because I love the combat, but can't keep up with the game after a while. Maybe this time I will.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma is indeed great. Very underrated. Only Bayonetta can match its combat this gen. Difficutly feels almost perfectly calibrated. Fun stuff.

04/07/2013 at 06:08 PM

It renewed my interest in the NG series for sure. I'll pick up 2 on PS3 after I beat 1 on there. Bayonetta was awesome too in that department, but NGS2's weapon variety may put it over the edge for me. I think I'd put Metal Gear Rising over both of them based on what I've played so far though. Cutting off limbs is super addicting and the parry system is a great twist on counter attacks.
