I love Phoenix Wright

April 16th, 2012 by becky | 1 Comment | Filed in Anecdote

It’s an unashamed, unabashed love. I sometimes dream about what our wedding would look like. He’d wear his blue suit, and I’d wear an orange dress, and Edgeworth would be his best man. I guess Maya would be my bridesmaid.

No, I’m just kidding. I’m not THAT obsessed, but it’s close. There’s just something about the games that is perfect. It could be the detailed and interesting art, the hilarious dialog, the compelling cases, the catchy music, the fascinating mysteries, the memorable characters… or it could be all of this and that the games are just FUN.

Phoenix Wright and cast

They recently announced the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney movie. It looks completely ridiculous and is directed by Takashi Miike, who has made some pretty over-the-top movies in the past. I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to see it. I will watch it the instant I possibly can. Fortunately for all you non-Japanese-speaking Phoenix Wright fans, they’re going to be subbing it in English, so you don’t have to rely on fansubs to watch.

Can’t resist, huh?

And then of course, there’s this:

Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth Amazing Cosplay

Ridiculous cosplay guys, wherever you are, you are fantastic and special like snowflakes. Don’t ever change.

Guild Wars 2 Pre-purchase today!

April 10th, 2012 by becky | Comments Off | Filed in Short

If you want the game, and you don’t pre-purchase, then you are a square. I ended up going for the Digital Deluxe Edition, even knowing it’s probably a rip-off. I feel good knowing that extra $20 is going to a good company that I love and support, though. Pre-purchase now!

Fallout available for free on GOG.com

April 6th, 2012 by becky | 2 Comments | Filed in Short

Fallout is available for free right now for the next 36 hours or so. If you haven’t played Fallout and have ever been interested in trying it out, now is the time to add it to your GOG account!

If you’ve only played Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, you should know that Fallout is turn-based. The gameplay is more like Baldur’s Gate than Fallout 3 for sure. Still, it’s a comedic game, and has that amazing retro-futuristic feel that we all know and love. Fallout is also quite a difficult game but I recommend you be patient with it! It’s definitely fantastic when you get into it.

While you’re there, I also recommend you check out some of the other games on GOG. All DRM free! In addition, GOG was created by the wonderful CD Projekt RED, who also made The Witcher. If you like action RPGs and you haven’t played the Witcher, stop what you’re doing immediately, and go purchase it now!

This post, like all of our posts, is NOT sponsored. I just love GOG that much. :)

Prepurchase announced for Guild Wars 2

April 4th, 2012 by becky | Comments Off | Filed in Article

A few weeks ago Guild Wars 2 prepurchase was announced. Prepurchase, unlike preordering, requires you to buy the game early. In return, you get a sweet item, three-day headstart access to the full game when it’s released, and free access to all beta weekends. If you’re thinking of buying Guild Wars 2 at all, you’d be crazy not to take advantage of this. The game looks amazing from all the preview videos so far, and some beta leaks have indicated it’s just as good as expected. Prepurchase begins on April 10th, so stay tuned. There are three prepurchase packages:

  • Regular edition – Comes with the item, three-day headstart, and beta weekends.
  • Digital deluxe – Comes with everything the regular edition does, as well as an elite spell, a miniature figurine in-game, and a few one-shoot items, like a banker that follows you around for five days.
  • Collector’s edition – Comes with everything in digital deluxe and some physical items as well, like a 10″ figurine, some beautiful art and frame, a book, and the sountrack.

collector's edition items

I’ve been thinking about which version I’ll get. I’ve budgeted for GW2 to be the only new game I get this year, so I don’t mind spending a bit extra. I’d love to get the collector’s edition, but I would have no use for a 10″ figurine and the price is a bit excessive given I don’t want the figurine. I wish the digital deluxe edition came with a pdf art book! I’m leaning toward the digital deluxe right now, but I still have to think about it. I’m so excited though!

Will you be prepurchasing? What version are you going to get and why?

BrowserQuest

April 2nd, 2012 by becky | 1 Comment | Filed in Short

Have you seen BrowserQuest? It combines two things I love – the power of a web browser and games! It was developed by Little Workshop as an HTML5 demo for Mozilla.  In their own words, “BrowserQuest is a multiplayer game inviting you to explore a world of adventure from your Web browser.” Complete with achievements, combat, chatting, and exploring, BrowserQuest is a good introduction into the world of HTML5 gaming. I can’t wait to see what happens next with it.

BrowserQuest

If you’re interested, the source code is up on Git! It’d be fun to check out and play around with. I hope this enables people to more easily make games!
