Misc. Brawlers That Didn't Make the Cut.

(yes, I realise I used an image from the SEGA game "My Hero" but I used it because it looks super generic.  Which describes many of the following games well.)

Continuing my series of brawler flashback reviews, here are the rest of the games on my list that didn't neatly fit into any of the previous categories. 

This post will cover these remaining games:

• Bad Dudes VS Dragon Ninja
• Double Dragon
• Double Dragon II
• Ninja Combat
• Sailor Moon
• The combat Tribes
• Ninja Warriors
• Ninja Warriors Again
• Crude Busters
• Under Cover Cops

Transformers The Ark from Earthrise

 

The best looking ass in all Transformers belongs to this guy.  Admit it, if you're a fan of G1, you've spent more time than you care to admit looking at the glorious ass of the Ark as it sticks up in the air from the base of Mt St. Hillary.  A few years ago, Hasbro decided that the Ark need to become a Titan Transformer.  I've often longed for an Ark playset and so grabbed this guy.  What's he like?

Well, today I intend to reveal that very information to you.

SEGA Brawlers that Didn't Make the Cut

 

So in my series of games stemming from my experience with Brawlers, I'm gonna bang on about the Brawlers from SEGA that didn't make the cut. 

Also for brevity's sake, games that I played on SEGA hardware (arcade, master system, Megadrive, Saturn etc etc) will be included here.  So a game not made by SEGA, but I mainly experienced on a SEGA machine is here.

Awwright?  All right! 

The list:

• Alien Storm
• Altered Beast
• Die Hard Arcade
• Guardian Heroes
• Nekketsu Oyako
• Pu Li Ru La
• Spiderman: The video game
• SOR 3
• The Crow
• The Crows, Battle action

Revisiting LOK Defiance & Blood Omen 2

 After blasting through LOK Soul Reaver 1 & 2 and finding it to be an.... interesting experience (for my feelings), I decided that I would go and play LOK Defiance and Blood Omen 2, just to reconcile my feelings for them.

Again, at the time, I very much enjoyed the experience.  Admittedly I did find Blood Omen 2's controls a little janky and slow, the chunky gameplay and combat all worked well enough, the story seemed engaging and overall it was a decent game.

Defiance, I loved.  I especially remember being impressed with the graphics.  I remember being slightly annoyed with the sound effects. I remember being engaged with the the gameplay.  

How do I find them now?

Tets plays: Fatal Frame II - Part 1 of ??

 So after plaowing through Soul Reaver, kinda plodding through Defiance and Blood Omen Two, and smashing through Jedi Fallen Order, I decided I would give a game a try that I have been thinking about for a long time:

Fatal Frame (series).  I did some googling and general impressions are that 2 is the better of the lot, so I decided to go with this one.  I'm generally not into survival games, I dislike weapon management games intensely so Resident Evil never really grabbed me and  I feel that jump scares are just cheap.

I did thoroughly enjoy Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 however.  The disturbing surreal nature of those game did tickle my fancy a lot.    I had read that many publications seemed to rank Fatal Frame 2 as the scariest game ever.  Whether this was at the time, or what, I dunno, but I have started it.

Here are my thoughts:

Tets Finishes Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

 Not so long ago, I was playing Star Wars Fallen Order and I typed this post as I struggled at the start of the game.  The other day I finished it and I shall continue with my thoughts and my final wrap up.

It was decent enough, probably a 7/10 if I were to score it.

Blokees Series 03: Autobot Run Review

 

Once again, I am here with more pictures of my addiction, er collection of Blokees.  This time though, I 'm looking at Series 03, entitled "Autobot Run," for reasons I am not too sure about, but hey, it tickles the memory about the cartoon though, so that ain't bad now is it?

They come in random selection of boxes, but if you buy a case then, you most likely get the whole set.  The case boxes looks like this:

Once again these boxes have a nice metallic sheen to them, which doesn't come off in the above artwork, but have a look at this.

Nice and just for archival's sake (lol, as long as the internet and google are around that is....) here is the chinese catalogue.

This line up consist of a mere 3 Decepticons and 6 Autobots, although 2 of the Autobots are the same dude. They are:

• Soundwave (has a chase version)
• Scrapper
• Bonecrusher
• Red Alert
• Sideswipe
• Ultra Magnus (IDW)
• Bumblebee
• Slag
• Slag (Dino mode)

Okay, let's get on with it then.
