You can buy the older fallout games on GOG once again.

While waiting for Fallout 4 why not play the entries that started the series? Back at the start of 2014 All of the Fallout games were removed from the Good Old Games store.


  • Fallout 1
  • Fallout 2
  • Fallout Tactics
 The games have reappeared back in the store and are on sale for the next few days. You can get the 3 games for a mere $10.00. If you don't already own  the games via Steam this would be a good way to go because GOG tries to support newer version of Windows OSes  and DRM free.

My thoughts after filling out the KONAMI heritage games survey

I don't really care about the possibility of a prize for participating in the survey. It is a good outlet to respectfully request for a Konami game series revival or sequel. A safer way than trying to "spam" their  English Twitter account.

Of all the Konami owned franchises Silent Hill was strangely omitted from the selection screen. Obviously having to due with what happened with Silent Hills/PT.  If you're a fan of Contra, Gradius, Castlevania, Vandal Hearts, Bomberman or in my specific case "Suikoden" or Genso Suikoden. This is the best way to let Konami know just how interested are you. Look I can understand that it's tough to think of 108 characters for each installment and think of an overall theme  but it's been almost a whole decade since Suikoden V was released on the PS2. Thanks konami for finally digitally releasing Suikoden II on PSN.

That's right the series never landed on the last generation consoles (XBOX 360 and PS3)  unless there was a Japan-only release I don't know about. We have yet to see what the series can look like with HD/1080p graphics.

 I'll reiterate some of the points I put on the survey.... What I like about the Suikoden series was the turn-based combat  mixed in with some strategy battles and recruiting those 108 possible characters that hang out at your base. Final Fantasy has Cid and the Suikoden series has that fast-travel character named Viki  This is also one of those RPG series that had co-op/ team up attacks like those found in Chrono Trigger. As for musical soundtrack. The 3rd game has my overall favorite theme music.

The indie game scene has been trying to fill in the void left by Contra with games like Broforce and Mercenary Kings.

Humble Bundle store having a sale on Anime, Anime inspired games

Steam is not the only digital download store having a sale on Anime games this week, The Humble (Bundle) store is also taking part.  It's offering up way more than Naruto Shippuden games. Discounted games in the Anime Weekend sale include Anime-inspired games  and Japanese-role playing games

Aside from Dragon Ball Xenoverse which is the game where you can create your own fighter from the most popular races from the Anime. I think all of the Ys games ever released on PC are discounted as well. If fighting games are more your thing then Two Guilty Gear games are also listed.

What a rocky start for the Street Fighter V Beta tests

The Beta tests for the upcoming Street Fighter V (Five) was supposed to start on July 23rd  but from two Youtube channels I've checked out they either can not get the game to load at all or only get as far as the training room fight ( 1 player vs dummy).
Below is just one tweet from the Official Street Fighter twitter account...
Note that the game is a console exclusive to Sony's PS4.  Capcom has been trying to make adjustments to their severs and Reboot the servers. If you want to follow the beta thread, I left a link below.

Here's the link to the official Capcom discussion thread  .

Just really disappointing because probably well over 50,000 viewers were watching the game being played at EVO 2015 but this Online multiplayer just doesn't seem to be working.  Most of the thumbnals on Twich.tv page are of error screens and face cameras of frustrated streamers.

Having to wait until early 2016 for Tomb Raider sequel to hit PC is fine

This has been the news that I've been waiting to hear. Somebody could have just said something at E3 2015 but at least it's been announced now. 
 PC gamers may have to wait  until early 2016  release but the devs can use that time to fine tune the Windows/PC port (not have a possible Arkham Knight fiasco).  The PS4 players will have to wait the longest Holiday late 2016.
