Backlog Quest II: Day 6 – Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal – Rabbit season

Dear Journal, Today I fought robots as a waskly rabbit. Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal is one of those games that exist because someone, somewhere was told to make a game based on a popular license and they had to think of what to do with it.  There have been a fair share of Looney Tunes based video games over the […]

Backlog Quest II – Sidequest: To the Moon – A Story Worth Experiencing

Dear Journal, Recently, I experienced one of the best stories in modern video games with a graphical style that brought me back to my childhood. When I say experienced, I mean it.  To the Moon is not so much a game as it is an experience.  In many ways, it’s the model interactive story adventure – heavy emphasis on narrative […]

Backlog Quest II: Day 5 – WWE All Stars (3DS) – Decades of Spandex

Dear Journal, Today I wrestled Andre the Giant as The Rock. WWE All Stars combined comically over muscled versions of some of the WWE’s biggest stars (or WWF as it was called when many of them rose to fame), all together in one game.

Five […]

Backlog Quest II: Day 3 – Asura’s Wrath – So much yelling

Dear Journal, Today I got so angry that I grew extra arms so I could punch people six times as fast. Asura’s Wrath is a game that falls into that sort of middle range in terms of success and popularity. People know of it, they’ve heard it exist, but try to find a gamer friend who has played it let […]

Backlog Quest II: Day 1 – Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 – Still hating big cats

Dear Journal, Today I became the ultimate hunter (that never went toe to toe with Arnold Schwarzenegger). Much like my last go-around at taking on my backlog, I decided to once again start my quest with a Cabela’s game.  This time it is Big Game Hunter 2012, the sort of cousin to the Dangerous Hunts series. Only this time I […]
