QUICK INCOMPLETE REVIEW- Radiant Historia

One of the games I started playing over the past month is Radiant Historia for the DS. Since I've had a pretty good time with the game, I figured I might as well post some thoughts about it. So here goes. Everything I have to say about this game boils down to either its story, or its gameplay.

Apologies, Updates, Tentative Schedule, and Random Thoughts on Braid

Apologies:
I can't say it's unexpected, but having a full course load at college really gets in the way of posting things here regularly. To all (probably zero) of you that actually read this, I apologize for not posting these past two months. And I apologize for my partner not posting at all.

Updates:
A joint (as in, written by both me and shoofle) retrospective review on the PS3 game inFamous has been in the works for the past month and a half or so, with me having played through the game on the 'good' path and shoofle on the 'evil' path. Hopefully we'll get that out before inFamous 2 comes out, so we can make it look like we planned it this way.

The two of us are also currently in the middle of a video game project of our own. Within the Student Game Developers at UVA, we're directing You Should See Someone About That (YSSSAT), a 2D platformer with a story inspired by the movie Inception and gameplay inspired by Super Meat Boy. Hopefully we can finish it in time (deadline is May 1st) and it'll be a decent game for having been made in a semester.

Tentative Schedule:
In the meantime, in order to make this blog look like it gets a lot more love than it does, I'm going to attempt to post something video game related every other day (or every day, if I'm feeling like I have a lot of spare time) for a while. These may not always be long amazing meaningful posts, but I'd rather take quantity over quality when choosing quality drops quantity to zero.

Winter Break 2010-2011

Winter break has its ups and downs. On the up side, there are no classes, no homework, no exams, just relaxation (at least, so I’d like to dream; applying to internships kind of ruins the relaxation a little). On the down side, traveling to the other side of the world sucks when you’re flying economy, and what sucks even more is Chinese internet. In lieu of other internet things to distract me while I’m in China (aka Facebook and Youtube), I’ve been making my way through the plethora of indie games I have on Steam. I was going to update them all in one big chunk, but there are actually a lot, so I’ll do it a few games at a time. These are the games that I'll cover, in the order that I'll cover them:

1.       RUSH

2.       VVVVVV

3.       Super Meat Boy

4.       The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

5.       And Yet It Moves

6.       Blueberry Garden

7.       Puzzle Bots

8.       Deathspank

9.       Shatter

10.   World of Goo

11.   Toki Tori

12.   Audiosurf

13.   Windosill

14.   Shank

15.   Zen Bound 2

17.   BIT.TRIP BEAT

18.   Machinarium

19.   AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity 

20.   Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes

So. Here we go.
