  For the fans of ALL generations of gaming...

  Heidy ho neighbors!

  Long time no blog, geez! There isn't a real reason for that I'm afraid. I've just been enjoying playing games alot, which is a decent excuse if I do say so myself. My collection has been building RAPIDLY since my last blog (in which I got a PS3) as those of you who are friends with me on XBL and have seen my bio recently would certainly know I figured that owning that many games presents me with lots of different options with what to do when I get bored. Lately I have been lacking the drive to play a game through completion, so I figured out something that pretty much forces me to play through a game: I started reviewing games. Me and a couple of buddies started up a wordpress blog, All-Bit Games, in which we review all types of game, from the newest block-busters, to Intellivision and Jaguar games. I hope that you look around the site, as I know that when I started out collecting games I was always looking to get some opinions on obscure/old games that nobody else seemed to write reviews about. I would just like to get some constructive feedback, as it always helps when you're just starting out something new like this.

  Take care guys!

  Also, sorry for such a long absence. I'm always around on the GS Legacy Platforms forum though.

  So I got a PS3 today...

  My name is MaypoMan, and I would be more than happy to play a game with you guys, so send me a friend request. Some local guy was selling his 80 GB with 2 Sixaxis controllers, 1 Dualshock, MLB 08 The Show, and Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. It came in the box and was in like new condition, and I was able to talk him down to $450. Sweet. I was very lucky and am extremely grateful that I was able to get such a good deal on a nice PS3...

  I also made my Giant Bomb profile, available here for your perusal

  (On a side note to Wootex, I didn't want it to seem like I was ripping you off with the whole Maypo theme, but ever since I saw that avatar, I thought it was the most hilarious thing and knew that I would have to name all future accounts of mine after everybodys favorite maple flavored instant breakfast cereal mascot!)

  Retro Revival Week: Day the fourth

  Hmmm.... RRW day four.... dang, this is one of those early morning blogs, isn't it? No need to worry, though, I promise to keep this blog concise, to the point, and with no guest stars! Ok, so, what did I play yesterday? Well, not much really, it was a pretty busy day for me, but I did manage to squeeze in a few games:

  Adventure Island (NES) I was only able to play this for about five minutes, but it made some good first impressions on me. It seemed like a cool platformer with plenty of different weapons and items to mix up the standard platforming action.

  Baseball Stars (NES) In my opinion, this is the second best NES baseball game (Right behind good old Baseball Simulator 1.000, of course)

  Super RBI Baseball (SNES) I popped this in for a few seconds, couldn't hit the ball once in two innings, got frustrated, and turned it off.

  The Lawnmower Man (SNES) I got this in the mail, played through the first level, but quit early due to the extreme feelings of disappointment when I discovered that my character was all man, but no lawnmower

  Crash Bandicoot (PS) This was my first time playing the CB series, and I had a very good time with the original CB yesterday. It's the game I sunk the most time into, and I liked the mix of 2D and 3D platforming. It's a very fun game, and I look forward to playing more of this today.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I also broke down and bought Civilization Revolution for the 360 yesterday, because I downloaded the demo and played the crap out of that, and I really enjoyed it. So I popped it in at about 8 last night, and finally finished my first match at about 12:30. But man, did I love every second of it. The reason it took so long is that I couldn't find the Chinese, who were on an isolated island to the south of me. When I finally did find them with one of my Cruisers, they had almost no technology, and my riflemen and Cruisers were easily able to take out there wooden shanties and tribal warriors. I can't play many games for 4 hours straight, but I was surprised that Civ Rev kept me interested (not to mention awake) for that long a time. Definitely a great game, especially if you consider that it's on 360.

  Anyways, thanks for reading, thoughts, musings, and compliments ( ) always welcome below.
