Game & Wario Review

JettLeave a comment

Ever since the release of WarioWare: Twisted!, most of Wario’s mini game outings also function as a showcase for new hardware. WarioWare: Touched! was one of the first games to harness the potential of the Nintendo DS touchscreen, and WarioWare: Smooth Moves gave players all sorts of silly ways to waggle their Wii Remote. Game & Wario attempts to demonstrate the Wii U Gamepad’s potential in the same manner, though it falls short of the bar set by its predecessors by providing an experience that’s short on content and replay value.

The Blue Bomber’s magnum opus is the focus of today’s Jett Plays. I discuss some of my fond memories with it while poorly playing through three stages. I’m better than this, I swear!

Project X Zone Review

Jett1 Comment

With a cast of over 60 feature characters from dozens of different Namco, Sega and Capcom franchises, it’s no wonder that fan service is such an important aspect to the Project X Zone experience. There’s no shortage of neat moments for these characters to build cross-dimensional relationships with one another. There’s also more than enough tag-team action to show off everyone’s combat prowess. As great as it is to hit those marks, it clearly came at a cost, as there are other aspects of this strategy RPG that are sorely lacking.

Why I Love Wolverine in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Jett1 Comment

Wolverine is my second favourite comic book character of all-time. I’ve always been a fan of his lone wolf mentality, heart-driven decisions, and adamantium claws that he liberally uses to slice foes into confetti. Upon the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, I picked him up right away and haven’t looked back. Even if he sucked, I’d probably find a way to make use of him, though he just so happens to be awesome in this series. In a modern world of Zero, Vergil and Dr. Doom players, here’s why I use Logan.

Unboxing The Elgato Game Capture HD

JettLeave a comment

Elgato Game Capture HDI will be the first to admit that my self-produced videos to-date have looked horrible. Aiming a webcam at my television isn’t adequate today, nor was it ever a viable means of capturing gameplay footage. Now that I’ve got an Elgato Game Capture HD, those days of ghetto video are (hopefully) over! Continue through the rest of this post as I open it.

Skylanders: Swap Force Review

JettLeave a comment

The Skylanders franchise fell victim to the sophomore jinx.  Skylanders Giants failed to address the issues of its predecessor while its biggest innovation was a boring character class that actually made the game less fun and more difficult to play. Clearly having learned its lesson, the Skylanders are back in their best adventure yet.

Top 10 Games of This Generation – #1 – Street Fighter IV

JettLeave a comment

The fighting game genre had been left for dead long before the release of Street Fighter IV. After Super Street Fighter II, I left the genre because the games got too complicated, the competition among players got too fierce, and as a Nintendo-only console owner, the fighting game options completely dried up.

Street Fighter IV did way more than just provide me with a fun blast from the past. It marked the beginning of me falling deeper into a video game rabbit hole than I’d ever fell before.
