Mario Kart 8


It's a me... I'm back 

Game: Mario Kart 8
Genre: Racing
Platform: Wii U
Overview: Mario Kart is back. Better than ever. The tracks are back. There are new anti gravity mechanics takes a while getting used too. There is only one single lap track which kinda of suck. The DLC is so worth the $12 price. Hearing Mario say "tanooki" never gets bored.
What I liked: Tracks: Wario Mountain, Yoshi Circuit, Hyrule Temple, That Dragon  Stage. Red Box to block Blue Shells. Characters: Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Zelda, Koopa Bros
What I didn't liked: Anti Grav is a bit loopy, battle stages are tracks not small boxes, lots of wasted spots for characters like metal Mario and pink hold peach, those baby characters, 150cc is bat shit hard... Time trail may seem impossible.
Status: Got all characters, 1600 coins and counting, now just playing multiplayer.

5/5

Wii U



Got a timeshare Wii U with my best friend. For half the price we got 7 games. Great deal. I get it for 2 months. Still sweet. What I notice about this new console. The second screen is awesome. It's like holding a HD handheld console. Wii games still needs the sensor to work. Which sucks. Need to get more controllers for 4 player games

Cinderella



Played hoodie with my family and went to watch this. This is a movie that doesn't need to exists but it's just there to make more money for Disney. Great acting, predictable plot except in the end where is different from the cartoon. Nice popcorn movie. Salty or even caramel..

4/5

Child of Light


First RPG in years and I blew it

Game: Child of Light
Genre: RPG
Platform: PS vita 
Overview: bought this game because I love the art style. After booting it up the game manage to drag me in the storyline. The gameplay is also part platformer and part RPG. The game requires a certain amount of strategy when playing it. This is because they include a element where you can modify the game during battles
What I liked: characters, oculi crafting, battles, storylines
What I don't liked: The bad guys can have 3 guys on the screen. We can only have 2... Like wtf. Cheap ass bosses. Dying is damn easy in the game. Frustrating when you keep dying...
Status: Finish until the last chapter. Till the final boss. But it turns out you need a minimum of level 48 to defeat the boss. I'm on 42. Since we can't backtrack to grind XP. Technically I lost and need to play again. Probably will play but not anytime soon.

Dead or Alive 5+


Game: Dead or Alive 5+
Genre: Fighting
Platform: PS Vita
Overview: Love the dead or alive series. Among all the 3d fighting games this is the most fluidity. I still can't get the hang of the counters. But other than that the game is very enjoyable 
What I liked: Characters, stages, virtua fighter cameo 
What I didn't liked: Level 3 difficulty is already hard. I suck at this game
Status: Finish the 45 chapter story mode. The story doesn't make sense. Game will be kept in the vault for future use

Stramworld Dig


This is how you make a great game

Game: Steamworld Dig
Genre: Adventure
Platform: PS Vita 
Overview: I tried this game not knowing what to expect. The exploration going down the cave is exhilarating. Plus the constant fear that you run out of fire and water makes its more critical to manage your resources. The metroidvania style exploration is the type of game that you won't get bored in the long run
What I liked: progressive upgrading, weapons, digging for gold, going deeper underground
What I didn't liked: too short, the constant dying when you are cornered
Status: beat the boss and finish the game under 5 hours. Awesome

5/5

Pixeljunk Shooter


You know when you are done playing a game when you end up dying all the time

Game: Pixeljunk Shooter
Genre: Action
Platform: PS Vita
Overview: This game was released 3 years ago. It's in episodic format. The vita version has all of the episodes. The game is nice mix of exploration, puzzle solving, element manipulation and shooting. Have to save the survivors in the process and avoid your jet from overheating. I hate the fact I keep dying on cheap shots and elemental shit
What I liked: Exploration, Element manipulation, Water
What I didn't liked: Cheap shots dying, missiles are crap, lava, Episode 6
Status: I keep dying on episode 6. After a while I think I can't go on for a while. So I consider that I am done playing it for a while until further notice. If I don't come back in 2016 is over.

3/5
