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?
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:
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.
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:
This line up consist of a mere 3 Decepticons and 6 Autobots, although 2 of the Autobots are the same dude. They are:
Okay, let's get on with it then.
The EPOS card is a Japanese credit card that often has cool artwork on the cards in a variety of flavours and they have just started producing 2 types of Transformers credit card. One features the comic artwork above and the other is a black card with the Autobot and Decepticon logos on them. To be honest, the cards looking bloody great. However the problem with EPOS and other Japanese CC companies is they don't have the reach that companies like VISA/Mastercard have, so really there is no point (They are also kind of expensive with monthly fees and whatnot).
Obviously I was not so interested in getting a card, already having a few and need only one. Plus, they are hesitant to offer them to non-Japanese people. They were offering some freebies if you applied, but you had to be successfully approved and I believe you also had to actually use the card before getting them. That's a few too many hoops for me to be bothered jumping through, so I didn't bother. Enough ranting about companies capitalistic tendencies...
I went to another pop up shop a bunch of years ago, and that one was just a tiny stand, so I wasn't expecting much.
Here I go with a review of the figures that come with release 02, cleverly called Galaxy Version 02 SOS, I assume a nod to SOS Dinobots episode. In the review and wave, I'll be looking at:
