Happy Console Gamer is my favorite show by far right now. I love the energy and love he has for gaming. It gets me fired up again when I thought that was impossible. It seems like his show has kind of fallen flat though which is sad. There are a bunch of games I wanted to review and talk about on my show, but I'd rather suggest that for him to do, because he does such a good job of production and research. I've just been too lazy and busy to drop him a message. I hope someone else does. LOL

Messed around with the original Dead to Rights for a couple hours tonight. I've always loved the game, but I'd almost forgotten how good the writing and personality is in it. Such a bum rap that it ended up second fiddle to Max Payne back in the day. Sure, the gameplay might not hold up as well in a general sense, but it still had an awesome freakin' story and some really great dialogue. It really deserves more of a fanbase than it ever got.

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner

I'm not very impressed with it so far. Ended up stopping it at one point to play some Tekken 5. I'll give it another try but if I give up on it again, i'll just send it back.

to be fair you're playing the worst version of it. I think it drops something like 30% of inputs, runs at 1/3rd the framerate and doesn't have as many effects. The game looks/feels really different compared to the original release.

I noticed they changed some stuff in the original too, but when I play even that it doesn't excite me. In a different era, I probably would've just gone along with it. Doesn't help that i'm more interested in playing TR or MGR and my time is just not as plentiful as it once was.

Ridiculous how many stages you have to get through to actually start playing FIFA 13. Input online pass code, download it, install it, download game updates, install it, EA Origin policy agreement screen, EA social club screen, some other screen trying to sell Ultimate Team mode or some shit. Such a bloated confusing process..

Klonoa PSone on my Vita and Assassins Creed II but just messing around killing all the soldiers and sword fights. Also some side missions and finding the feathers.

I hear it's poorly optimized and doesn't run as well as the original. Apparently it's still fairly playable, but far from the silky smooth framerate the weaker PS2 was pulling off.

It's more of a problem with the gameplay itself than the framerate or graphics. I just didn't find it fun.

Powerstone 1 & 2

Like the first one more but then again had the first one for many years and first time playing the second. Still great.

Come one Capcom is you can bring back D&D and Ducktales bring back Power Stone

Powerstone and Powerstone 2 HD with online multiplayer via digital distribution would make Capcom a fortune.
Sometimes game devs just want to not make money, I guess.
