Random Gaming Thoughts

Just got a Wii U. One of the first games to come to mind as one of I wanna get now is Tank Tank Tank.

I look it up and see that it's now selling for more than retail price on eBay and Amazon. I honestly was thinking it was gonna be some title that would be in the bargain bins of GameStop. Sigh.

I just looked into that game and it looks pretty fun. Though for some reason, the title just made me completely overlook it.

I think the game is pretty awful but I might buy it cause the box art is nice. And if it's going to carry a ridiculous resale value why not.

Watch_Dogs on Wii U... it isn't bad. It's not a good port though. Rain looks nice. Runs like shit. At least fully v-synced.

Play-Asia seems to have the game in stock.

Certainly a lot better than the $60+ on Amazon.

Play Asia still exists and sells stuff?!?

Thanks man, just ordered it!

Tank x3 is one of the two games I played in a "local" arcade a few years ago that was actually 100% fun. Everything there was just modern shooters, racers and redemption machines, so Tank x3 was a god-send as it was a fun time. I know the Wii U version won't fully capture the magic of the full arcade machine, but still.

The other game that I had a lot of fun with there was Dead Heat, a racing game also by Namco. Still no port of that as far as I'm aware.

Are you confusing them with Lik Sang?

No problem, I am glad I could help! I also grabbed a copy myself.

Play-Asia has been around forever. They're awesome for imports at decent prices. They're slow as heck but reliable.

I know this is a retro-game forum, but is there any one here who enjoys bad or cheesy games like there are fans out there for B-movies? (I don't btw)

Yes! I've actually been hunting down some B-tier shooters recently.

You are not alone either, look at this discussion on GAF:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=936931

I also enjoy games that are panned by professional reviewers but loved by the community.

Absolutely! You are looking at a man who has a deep-seated passion for FMV games like Night Trap, Supreme Warrior, Crime Patrol, Dark Star and much much more! There are tons of games out there that have a level of cheese that are just a delight to play, even when the gameplay itself is seems unplayable (I'm looking at you Supreme Warrior!).

I feel that every game, good or bad has some redeeming value. Tom Zito and Digital pictures were definitely trying to create truly interactive movie media and, even though it did not come out the way it was supposed to, there is a very interesting and unique story involved there.

For me it isn't just about the game. It is about the people who make the game.
