Game 15 - Yu-Gi-Oh! Seven Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005 (GBA) - 18 Hours

+ Long name aside, this was a pretty good first game for me in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. There are so many of Yu-Gi-Oh! video games out there, I thought I would pick one up since I love trading card games, particularly the Pokemon TCG. And this game is very fun. Plain old card gaming goodness. Play the game, gather money, buy more cards, work your way up to the championship! Decent music, and a few secrets and hidden things to unlock... once I made a good Exodia deck I was unbeatable! :D

- Unfortunately, the only thing this game has to offer is the actual battles. There is no story whatsoever, which is a major disappointment. Even the Pokemon TCG on Game Boy had more of a story than this. There are also very few things to do other than battle. There's a few puzzles you can do, and some restricted battles to do, but there are only 5 areas in the game and all you can do is walk around and talk to people. It gets old, really fast. I have a theory that they didn't have the space/time because of the 1000+ cards they had to code in with chaining and stuff. Lastly, I think the AI could have been better because they made some awful decisions in battle. Oh well, again, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a very complicated card game to play.

Back to my list

34 - Strider (PC 2014) - 5 HOURS BEAT - Fun little game, light on story as I had no idea what was going on through most of it, just bosses and characters showing up and I had no clue what my being there was, but it's your basic metroidvania game with generally fun gameplay and a comfortable challenge for me.  As basic as it is, it's all competently put together.  It's like a sub 10 hour game if you want to complete it as I beat it in roughly 5 hours with only 61% completion, I just didn't want to go backtrack through the areas to find the stuff I left.

Finished Total Overdose early yesterday morning and my wife and I decided to play and beat Punisher on the Genesis.

So 2 games knocked out this weekend.

Couldn't decide what to play next so I pulled a game for each platform to decide between... hopefully I'll pick something when I get home from work.

Call of Cthulhu is pretty great if you're in the mood for some FPS/horror.

Well, I did it!

52. Space Harrier (Arcade): This game is still fun to play even today, although the shock and awe it created back in the 80s is partially nullified by the repetative stages and enemies that are only different due to a swapped color pallet or and a mix up of enemies. Bosses are mostly the same too despite some superficial differences. The game requires very quick reflexes and the last 6 or 7 stages are absolutely brutal, but they were still mostly enjoyable.

Stardew Valley on the PS4 brings it up to 15/52, as good as any Harvest Moon game I've played. Currently playing Dragon Quest Builders and thoroughly enjoying it, the humour and gameplay is superb.
