What excitement, what wonderment, what… the heck is even happening? Investment: PSP or Vita, Cost $15, Time to complete 30-40 Hours Jeanne D’Arc is a tactics game set in the early 1400’s during The Hundred Year War between France and England. The team at Level-5 has done the story of Jeanne quite a bit of respect. Many of the levels and major early events follow the actual history closely, if a bit stylized. And by stylized I mean that, while this setting...
its recent re-release on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita it seemed like a good time to revisit Mega Man Legends. As a child it was one of my favorite games; garnering multiple rentals from the local video store before the eventual purchase. Hours of my life were spent kicking cans into counters and abusing poor servbots. I even remember arguing with a friend of mine on why Megaman Legends was far and above Ocarina of Time. While I can say that the game has retained...
So, let’s rap. If I were a cool uncle (I’m an uncle, just not a cool one) I’d pull a chair up and sit on it backwards. Let’s talk about how uncle is maybe not the best person. In my last post I went on a tirade, a weird one. If social media has taught me one thing, it’s that you put your best foot forward on the internet. It’s a highlight reel of your life, most times. This… this is not that. This series for me is not a highlight...
Merry Holiday of your choice, nondescript and easily offended gray blobs of the internet. Here’s hoping it gave you joy in a way that brought no pain to others. Except for the jerks who DDoS’d PSN and XBL. You guys just made everyone’s lives a little more miserable. Why? In the past few weeks I’ve done a few things, one of them has been continuing to read. In my long sojourn with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People I came across something that stood...
One. Month. It has been one month since I started cutting games back to one day a week, and good things are going down! So let’s start this update with something I am very proud of, something I’ve always wanted to do. With my new found time I was able to go ring the bell for the Salvation Army. I live in a very poor area and so I did not expect to see much come out of my community. I was wrong. In the one hour I rang for (wanted to do more, couldn’t) I saw...
Hello again internet residents! I’ve conquered my first two weeks of this experiment. As I write this I am struck with the same thought that plagued me when I started. “You’re not completely giving up gaming, since you can play once a week. This seems like cheating. This doesn’t seem hard enough.” Well shut up negative me because this is in fact harder than you thought. Addiction. That’s how I would describe my relationship with gaming. I...
Hello! My name is Chris Lock and you’re joining me for a personal experiment. I am going to give up games (mostly) for an entire year, just to see what happens. But first a little background as to why I am doing this. A few years ago I started writing for LevelSave, just for fun. The site grew and shrank, as sites do, but kept chugging along all the same. Because of my work I was able to do some stuff I hadn’t thought possible. Namely to interview developers, get...
Many of you just picked up Shovel Knight and many of you enjoyed it. I for one could not have been happier with the game. It is so full of mirth and merriment that it is hard not to play with a goofy grin adorning your face. Part of what made the game so awesome was the music, which is now available for download! You can get the entirety of the original soundtrack here. There is also an album with more-than-8-bit arrangements of the Shovel Knight jams. That one can be found...
The Shovel Knight, defeated by fate, has spent many years gardening in obscurity. During his absence the world has fallen into chaos. The land is rife with villains that need spaying and you’ve got just the tool for the job. So take up your shovel, knight, and scoop yourself out a steaming pile of justice.
