In honor of the release of PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond for Wii this week, I thought I’d talk about my favorite non-RPG Pokemon games. Usually when a new main Pokemon RPG comes out, like Black or White (kind of weird that the next games are sequels to those), everyone gets all excited. And when a Pokemon game comes out that’s not an RPG, a lot of people say they wished for another Pokemon RPG. But I think I like the non-RPG Pokemon games a little better. Here’s why:
Monkeying Around With Rhythm Heaven Fever
Posted on February 22nd, 2012 by
A couple of blogs ago I wrote about my favorite music and rhythm games and I said that if I felt like it, I’d write another blog about Rhythm Heaven Fever. Well, I feel like it so here’s a silly blog with a mini-review and a rundown of the main games featured. So let’s go!
Cary’s Best of PSP
Posted on February 19th, 2012 by
With the release of the portable PlayStation Vita upon us, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on my favorite games on the original PSP. I actually did a blog like this once before, a couple of years ago. When the PSP Go first came out, I thought that was the end of the PSP, but I was dead wrong and Sony’s first handheld had a couple of good years left. So I was glad I was mistaken that time! But with the Vita, I think it’s safe to do the ‘best of PSP’ blog now.
More Mega Pixel Art Masterpieces!

Just wanted to show off brother Jeff’s newest pixel art crafts. Last time he made Perler Bead pixel art of Kirby and Excitebike. This time he’s done Capcom favorites Mega Man and Cut Man. Once he gets some more colors, I think he wants to do Mega Man X next! Click on the article to see a bigger picture!
Epic Quest (Xbox 360, PS3)

Anyone remember Pinball Quest on the NES? Yeah, probably not. Well I do, because I’m weird. Anyway, it combined elements of RPG staples with pinball gameplay. Now Zen Studios is set to revisit that clever concept with Epic Quest, a new downloadable pinball table for Pinball FX2 on Xbox 360, and Zen Pinball for PS3 (360 version reviewed here).
Cary’s Top Five Favorite Music/Rhythm Games!
Posted on February 14th, 2012 by
In honor of Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii being released this week, I thought I’d list my top five favorite music games. Believe it or not, I didn’t like the Rhythm Heaven game on the DS very much for two main reasons. One, I didn’t like the flicking controls. I could never get the hang of them, and it seemed like there was a delay in how the game registered how you flicked the stylus, and a delay in a precise rhythm game is a big no-no. The other reason why I didn’t like it because it was too dang hard! Sure you could skip levels you had trouble with, but you never felt like you accomplished anything. And I SO wanted to like Rhythm Heaven, too, as it was made by the same folks who did WarioWare, and I love that series. That’s why I’m going to give Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii a chance, even though I didn’t like the DS game. Everyone deserves a second chance!
Perler Bead Pixel Art

I have to brag on my brother Jeff a bit. He started a new hobby involving making pictures with Perler Beads. This kind of craft has been around for years, but lately a lot of crafty gamers have used them to make 2-D game sprites with the beads. I don’t know how all of it works, but you can find tons of resources about it on the Internet. I just wanted to show off Jeff’s first pieces.
The Simpsons Arcade Game (Xbox 360, PS3)

It’s here! It’s finally here! The four-player co-op side scrolling beat-em-up based on The Simpsons TV show, which tore up arcades in the early 90’s, is now available on a home console at last! Play as Homer, Marge, Bart, or Lisa as they tromp through Springfield trying to rescue baby Maggie from Smithers and Mr. Burns. You can download this arcade classic hit on Xbox 360 and PS3 (360 version reviewed here).
Cary’s Super Bowl Commercial Party!
Posted on February 6th, 2012 by
Well it’s time once again to give my play by play of the Super Bowl…commercials. I love commercials! And not just ones on the Super Bowl, they fascinate me on regular TV, too. Always have. When I was a kid, the Christmas commercials they played during the Macy’s Parade always put me in the spirit. And the only reason why I watched that dumb American Gladiators show back in the 90’s was because it was sponsored by Nintendo, and I wanted to see the newest SNES ads. So let’s see what commercials I liked at this year’s game!
The Silly Scrappers of Soul Calibur V
Posted on February 4th, 2012 by
Soul Calibur is one of my favorite fighting game series, because it’s easy to get into and play, and a lot of the characters are fun and interesting. So here’s a blog about the fighters in the new Soul Calibur V. Keep in mind that this blog isn’t meant to be informative. I was just having fun writing it so it’ll be a bit silly.
