The Grumpy Gamer: August 2011
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Duel Masters:The Red-Headed Stepchild. Has anyone heard of the card game Duel Masters? Very recently I stole.ummm bought Duel Masters Sempai Legends for 50 cents at FYE. Yes, 50 cents brand new. I could not remember if I already had the game (it was Kaijudo Showdown I had), but figured at 50 cents I'd get it anyway. That's less than a candy bar, for cryin out loud. In the games you play this spikey-hai...

The Grumpy Gamer: November 2011
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Monday, November 14, 2011. The things we leave behind. Having physical media is something that it is rapidly changing, and someday soon will cease to exist entirely. That will be a very sad day for me. Even after the game player has bought his/her 60 dollar game. Do you have buy the DLC? Too bad, you have to pony up an addition 20 dollars to REALLY enjoy the game. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Grumpy Gamer: Keep it simple, stupid
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2012/12/keep-it-simple-stupid.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Thursday, December 13, 2012. Keep it simple, stupid. In my day, games were simple. Simple graphics, simple gameplay. Of course, they had to be, by necessity. Back then video games were in their infancy (although some say they still are.) But for the most part, the games were still fun. Well, a lot were. So many inane things you can do! Simple can be fun. Too bad so many people have forgotten this. Paint Under My Nails.

Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Friday, January 11, 2013. I almost always buy used. Yeah, I know, the developers don't. Don't even get me. On DLC. Yes, you can choose whether or not to buy it, but the fact remains you are paying extra for stuff that should be on the disk in the first place. Point being, DLC makes me a little annoyed at the developers for doing this, which edges me ever closer to buying used games. Which side do you fall? Grand Theft Auto V.

The Grumpy Gamer: Blood on my (virtual) hands
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2013/01/blood-on-my-virtual-hands.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Monday, January 7, 2013. Blood on my (virtual) hands. In the early 90's I owned a little console called the Turbografx 16. It was not nearly as well known as the. But it was a nice little console with a handfull of good games. One of those games was Splatterhouse. Of course, I loved the game to death. I played it a lot, even though it was a hard as nails game. Two sequels followed, but I never played them. My TG 16 ...Fast forw...

The Grumpy Gamer: February 2012
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Saturday, February 11, 2012. The House of the Dead 2 trifecta. Nintendo is master of the video game spinoff, so much so that they have gotten it down to an art form. Mario has been whored out to so many different games that don't require jumping and butt stomping goombas that it boggles the mind. Me, I'm waiting for Cooking Mario. It will happen soon, trust me. Mind you, the spinoffs I am about to mention are both based on HotD...

The Grumpy Gamer: September 2011

Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Saturday, September 17, 2011. One Step Forward, Two Steps Back. I haven't played them yet, hope they work, although that is moot, since for obvious reasons they can't be returned. Friday, September 16, 2011. Been playing Disgaea DS (aka Disgaea:Hour of Darkness) recently on the DS (duh! At this point, I'm pretty much grinding a few maps to power up some of my characters, as I was soundly defeated by a mid boss (who is called, a...

The Grumpy Gamer: October 2011
http://grumpygamer40.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. When did games get so complicated? This is why am very leery of jumping into the very deep waters of this current console generation and enjoy splashing around in the shallows of the last console generation, to take the beach metaphor a little too far. Plus there are sharks (teenagers very adept at head shots and swearing) in those deep multiplayer waters. (Ok, definately too far.). Maybe it does....

The Grumpy Gamer: Got a PSP and some games to go with it

Old school video game addict full of opinions and a healthy dose of cynicism. Sunday, January 6, 2013. Got a PSP and some games to go with it. Although I have gotten a XBox 360 and love the thing to death, I have also been lucky enough to aquire a PSP 3000, which I also love. Bought used, of course. Thing is, it's harder to find. Fortunately, I have found a bunch of good games for the handheld. Some of them are as follows:. The 3rd Birthday-The third entry in the. Darkstalkers Chronicle:The Chaos Tower-a...
