What I Played Today: June 18

Rogue Legacy, 12 Labours of Hercules, Mini Metro, Desktop Dungeons

Got into a Steam mode this evening. I wanted to make sure that the Xbox 360 controller I bought worked with my computer, so played Rogue Legacy for half a minute. It does, and I'm still terrible at this game. Good to know.

Also played a bit of 12 Labours of Hercules, the original! It was also a dollar! It is also worse than the second one, because the gameplay elements are similar but not quite right. I'm glad they fixed it. Also, I'm playing the hard version, which is...hard. I keep trying to get gold time and I fall short by 10 seconds like every time. It's ridiculous and sad.

Mini Metro had an update and they decided to close off access to half the levels. That seems like a poor decision. But played a bit, I'm glad that there are distinct colors for each level, that's nice.

And Desktop Dungeons is still the same, still seemingly easy until you get 10 minutes in and realizing that there is jackshit you can do to actually win the level, because you've accidentally already done everything. WHOOPS.

What I Played Today: July 17

Rogue Legacy, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Animal Crossing

I downloaded Rogue Legacy because I had heard some good stuff about it, and it was on sale. I booted it up, and was a bit concerned that the game is kinda chuggy on my computer. I may have gotten to the point where I need to update my computer, because this game is not that graphics intensive.

There's a new Atlus game, so of course I bought it. Shin Megami Tensei IV: The Question of Exactly What Decade are We In. Because it looks all old-timey, but in the one of the opening sequences, there's a bunch of cars on fire? Also, this game feels cheap as crap; they have decided to put a lot of their resources in having WAY TOO MANY DEMONS. I was flipping through the strategy guide the game comes with and saw this huge chart detailing how many schools of demons there are. Holy crap. The opening theme is pretty great though.

Also visited a friend's town in Animal Crossing, and holy crap I need to get to work. His town looks AMAZING. So much stuff! Paved roads! Coffee shop! Private displays at the museum! A...shoe store, I guess. I had no idea half this stuff was even in here, I gotta start devoting my life to Animal Crossing.
