Krismas Says Hi With Capes and Drills

Hey folks! John Mad- uh – Krismas here! I’ a simple guy who enjoys walks on the beach followed by 623s when i run into anyone on the same beach as me. Since this is all about the games and those who play them and whatnot ill give ya my favorite genres so you can see where my opinions are kinda originated from. I am a huge fighting game head and il just about play any one you can name from street fighter, to bloody roar(ew), to clay fighters, to magneto vs sentinal, guilty gear (a must have), broken brothers brawl, and even the infamous toshinden. theres no game i wont play. that is except mortal kombat….please take that elsewhere before i have to dropkick you.

Puzzle games! god i love them. cant get enough. mr driller and magical drop are essential.

MGS is its own category and i love every one of them. if you see me in person you HAVE to ask me to do my David Hayter (solid snake, big boss) impression.

rts’ are nice too. especially when goagaigar is in one.

Well enough about me! On to my most recently played games and reviews!! I may be a bit picky so bear with me pleash ok thx bai.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom ~ well this one here is a little gem i enjoy a good deal. If you don’t know about it, it is a VS game of sorts where the capcom universe (or more specifically a small fragment of it) come together in a crossover with some of tatsunoko’s finest fighters. now i know you are wondering, “Who the heck is Tatsunoko?” the answer is….look it up. i dont know the answer to that. BUT i do know that I’m often sold by awesome aesthetics and costumes and by god the tatties are awesome! Just look at all the boots and the capes and tell me you don’t want them fighting on your screen and i will call you a bold face liar. Anyway, the game is visually great in my opinion. the characters are modeled well, they move pretty fluidly, the backgrounds are done well, and the moves and specials are also “ooooh” and “ahhhh” worthy. they get a thumbsup for graphics as they didn’t take any shortcuts on that, at least not any noticeable or aggravating ones. On to the fighting! Its a simple yet solid system. three attacks of varying strength and whatnot and one partner button (used to call in an assist, switch characters, pretty much anything that involves your second character). It plays similar to a VS game in that you chain combos on e floor that lead to launchers that allow you to physically abuse someone in the air with an air combo (ariel rave according to them but who’s getting specific here?). Everyone has their own move lists and specials (duh) as well as a really damaging(in most cases. shed a tear for megaman as he doesn’t follow this rule exactly) max special usually worth 3 bars as opposed to the natural 1. you can also combine specials with your partner with a simple partner button press. I have to say the system flows very well with the game, as of now i don’t find any abuse-able technicalities (except for hurricane polymar and i am sorry if you do get caught with the evil that is his air resetting), then again i never look for the abuse-able things…ill leave that in other capable hands coughcoughtourneyfagscoughcough. sorry this house seems to be a bit dusty…ANYWHOO i seriously recommend this game. Its fun, the characters are all awesome, the music is pretty good as well, it looks nice, and its not too complicated for your casual fighter while still having surprises for your serious fighter. Hopefully i get to go to Comicon and hurricane polymar some people ^^

on a slightly irrelevant note, I am in your fridge stealing your milk and selling it to calcium deprived metrosexuals with faux hawks.

OK now that i think i got that pretty much covered to a large extent (any questions would be gladly answered by myself if not anyone else ^^) I’ll sit down and rant about another game before i check on my solid snake status at Comicon. If I’m right, and i do get to go, i will be going dressed up as solid snake (i prefer big boss but ill take what i can get no complaints at all)

For my next game (and last, for the moment.) i will show my love for mr driller.
seriously, looking at that cast and crew how could you not want to play this game already?! no? fine ill explain it.
this is a simple game. SERIOUSLY. you have one button to worry about, and one button only. your drill. now the point of the game is simple enough. drill through tons of different colored blocks to get to the bottom of the stage. easy huh? well, that’s what you say now but it gets a bit more complicated. now since you are digging deep underground, air is hard to come by. on your way down you will have to keep an eye out for air capsules to replenish your air gauge, which is basically your lifeline. also there are indestructible block as well as blocks that take multiple drill to get through and that also lower your air gauge by quite a bit when ya break them. if you are playin the most recent Mr driller for the xbox( and i so highly recommend it, its so good) you will also have item pickups which will help you out. they have effects such as a shield that can take a hit for you (a hit is when the falling blocks land on you thus crushing you and taking away a life), air refill which brings your air gauge to max, max AG increase, Faster drilling and i think that’s about it. you can activate them on your own but when you can only hold one at a time, and a new pickup overrides the old one assuming it isn’t activated. All of this is occurring while you are avoiding the tons of colored (and harmless looking) blocks just waiting to fall down on top of you. not so easy now is it?
ill see if i can get a video up of a session of the games i play, though i cant guarantee any kind of good quality (sorry i don’t own a camera or anything).

till next time!
Krismas.
