Sometimes life can be very cruel. For example, I have only been able to pick up two games in the last few weeks. I don't know how I've made it through these trying times, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. There are two culprits to this game drought: getting married and Xenoblade Chronicles. Now, as for the two games that I did pickup....
Astyanax. Don't know much about this one. It is a Jaleco game, so that automatically makes me interested. From what I know, it's an adventure game and the descriptions I read online make me think it will play somewhat like the sidescrolling areas in Zelda II. I've also heard this is a pretty fun game, so at $4 it was an easy and affordable decision.
And then...
Shadowrun for the Genesis. Cult classic and all that jazz. It seems to be a really interesting game, and besides, you can't really go wrong with a cyberpunk theme from a game in this era. I had been kind of holding out for the SNES version, but did not know until recently that the SNES and Genesis versions are completely different games. Fantastic, now I have to get the SNES and the Genesis one.The word on the streets is that the Genesis Shadowrun is the more highly regarded of the two, but that the SNES Shadowrun is a must-play as well. Who knows when I will get around the trying this one out, but it's nice knowing that it's there waiting whenever the day does come.
So that about wraps things up. I'll be getting married in a few days and then off on the honeymoon for a week. I was hoping to finish up Xenoblade Chronicles before the big day, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Truthfully, I could have finished Xeno already, but I've been sucked into the game and have really been enjoying it. I've probably spent more time in the last week doing sidequests in the game than actually moving the story forward. It really is an amazing game and has me pumped up for the "sequel" that is coming to WiiU.
Anyways, it's time for me to fly. Sleep beckons. See you on the flipside.
