The night could have been much better for Lexy Cooper. Her snowboarder-slash-DEA boyfriend Ash was out of town on tour and her nemesis weaseled her way into the Xenon office Christmas party, making things extremely uncomfortable for Lexy. So when it’s discovered that the alpha build of Xenon’s new console – Aether – has gone …
Tearaway
Status: Finished with Atoi, 96% of bonus items found Playtime: About 19 hours or so Trophies: 24 of 31 Papercraft Collection: tearaway.me/u/Yuki-Hime Tearaway was a major PS Vita selling point for me, second only to Persona 4 Golden because I have a wonderfully horrid addiction to the Persona franchise. With its visually appealing papercraft world I knew there was …
Puppeteer
Status: Finished all 21 curtains Playtime: About 15 hours or so Heads Collected: 66 of 100 With the holiday season approaching and the usual slew of annual sequels nipping at our heels, new and innovative titles such as Puppeteer are a welcome sight to this long-time gamer’s eyes. I knew from the first moment I caught wind of this …
Sweet Fuse
Playtime: 21 hours and counting Men Romanced: Urabe Otome games get the short end of the stick. It’s a format under-appreciated by the majority of gamers outside of Japan because they are more of an interactive choose your own adventure than a game in the traditional sense. But I like weird and non-traditional games so Sweet Fuse: …
Geek & Gaming Cross Stitchery 4 – The Ladies of Final Fantasy VII
As I gear up for Extra Life 2013, I’ve been going through some of the video game and pop culture patterns I’ve found all over the internet in an attempt to stitch a few as samples I can use to manipulate (read: politely urge) my friends and family to give slightly higher donations this year in …
Tales of Xillia
Status: Milla storyline complete, grinding in the post-game dungeon before starting NG+ with Jude Playtime: 63 hours and counting Trophies: 15 of 44 Here there be spoilers. Enter at own risk. My addiction to JRPGs has long been documented. Hell, WRPGs and JRPGS alike cause me to drop everything else and devote hours of my time they are …
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Status: Catching cicadas and fishing, making the bells to pay back Nook’s ridiculous loans Dream Address: 4500-2245-0852 I caved to peer pressure. I bought Animal Crossing New Leaf almost a month ago and I am sad to report that I am utterly addicted to this game. When I am not sleeping, playing Borderlands 2 or watching TV …
How the PS4 Won Our Pre-Order
I want to preface this by stating for those who do not know me very well that I am not a fangirl of any Big Three console makers. It’s always been that I get the systems that have the games I want to play. Last time around I got the Xbox 360 before my PS3 …
Review of the Borderlands 2 Limited Edition Diamond Plate Loot Chest from ThinkGeek
Last week, ThinkGeek announced they had some Borderlands 2 Limited Edition Diamond Plate Loot Chest replicas licensed from Gearbox for sale on the site. Matt and I are pretty hardcore about Borderlands 2, the best coop fun we’ve ever had together, so spending $100 on this was a no-brainer. We sprung for 3 day shipping and it …
Project Backlog – Summer 2013 Update #1
So, I had all these great plans for June and July. I was going to power through at least 2 games a month to whittle down my backlog. Sounds good, right? Productive, too. Well…. Animal Crossing happened. I had started Professor Layton & the Miracle Mask which had been sitting on my nightstand since it …
