For me the Christmas period brings great joy but also great burden. This burden being swamped by the never ending stream of gaming greed the I possess. I can’t help myself, for every game I complete at least three more emerge from the dusty shadows of ebay, charity stores and me just pre-ordering everything I can.
I intended to be better this year round, attempting to reign myself in. I failed, I failed hard. I ended up with a multitude of new games and I even finally purchased a PSTV. It doesn’t stop there though I even decided to buy a nice new camera for myself. In my defence the camera serves a dual purpose in that I wanted one for general life. As well as now my incredible pictures I take for these sort of reviews will come ever so slightly crisper but no less terribly shot.
My newest acquisitions come in the form of the GBA versions of the first two lord of the rings games. This was more just to pad out my Lord of the rings collection, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this but as the greatest work of fiction to grace all the lands in book, screen and film form. I always feel the need to increase my collection in any way. In a sore way of preservation if not reverance of this masterpiece. Along with getting WarioLand 4 on the GBA to bring back those simpler days of my youth.
There’s also my newest PS1 titles, Breath of fire 3 and the Final Fantasy Anthology which is in mint condition which always appeases me. Making a change from the usual horrifc scratched disc or shit smeared cases these games come in. Which also plays in nicely to the PS5 version of the FF7 remake. Again aiding in just adding to my collection of my favourite title in my favourite game series. I have already completed that back on the PS4 when it first came out but with Rebirths release on the very near horizon, I felt it necessary to replay it for a refresher. Which I would recommend everyone should play it’s an utter belter.
I have just the one new addition to my PS Vita collection in Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate. Which I’ve mostly completed but I need to figure out transferring my save over to my PSTV as I now have the capability of hopefully capturing footage from this console to enhance my reviews as I know it’s what you’ve all been waiting for. Extra gaming footage as well as increased clarity for my world class photography, I do treat you all well.
My last two additions come in the form of the latest Assassins Creed Mirage and finally Jedi Survivor on the PS5. The sequel to the great 2019 title Jedi Fallen Order. I have much to play, arguably far too much too play. I still haven’t finished Dying Light 2, and I’ve got probably 100 hours left in Tears of the Kingdom, and I’m about halfway through Shin Megami Tensei V. As previously mentioned I was trying to be better and i’m only further behind. March is seemingly turning into a bad month as well with Planet Zoo, Dragons Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin dropping. Its almost like the gaming world has fully enveloped me and uses my weak nature against me.
As I whittle my through my gargantuan gaming list my next review will be on the Nintendo brawler Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which you’ll be glad to know I am nearly done with. I am trying my hardest to stick to my premeditated list. It’s time I stick with order, something I lack in pretty much every aspect of my life. Well then, until you eagerly await my next review which I know you all are. Stay ever Tasty, my friends and always keep posted here for updates and further reviews.
