Stepping Back into the Ring

I could make all kinds of cracks about the title of this post. After all, I've been a bit out of the gaming scene for a while, so you could say I've been out of the ring. Or you could say I haven't posted much lately, so I've been out of the ring on this blog too. Yeah, I could attach all kinds of meanings to this, but there's really only one I intend on - a fighting ring.

A Real Jam Goin' Down

Looks like October is shaping up to be a busy month for me. Well, I can't complain too much. Of course, I hope all you readers aren't complaining either. There's been some new sorts of posts this month, and some more of the old too. We're going back with the old for this one - covering yet another game I beat for the contest; number 78 if you're counting. I figured it was appropriate since something happens tomorrow, but I really can't put my finger on it...

The Knight Got a Bit Darker

Hello again, readers, gamers, and all those who stumble upon my blog. Been a while since the last time I had anything to say about games, although I'd have plenty of material. I've got 80 games beaten so far, and I have to say, that's pretty good. So, I could tell you about any one of them, if I haven't done it already. I figured, I'd start off with the game that opened my wins for October, and what a game it was.

A Sonic Speed Triple Play

Well, gamers and readers, I figure on getting another post in before the end of the month (apart from a brief recap). Originally, I was going to write about another game entirely, but then I decided that I should do a triple play. No, this isn't another baseball game.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Those classic words have probably been heard at nearly every baseball game. Well, it is a classic after all. Baseball is also something of a classic too. Hey, it's always referred to as the great American pastime. Of course, I don't think anyone imagined baseball quite like this, except for the people at Nintendo.

Shadows Gather and So Do the Dragons

Well, readers, I figured for the first post of the month, I'd post my latest win, which was also the first win of the month. I'd been working on this little title all through the latter part of August, and finally, I claimed victory. I hate to blow my own horn about it, but with a series like Fire Emblem, most wins are worth a little horn blowing.

Two Castles but Only One Classic

VS.

Hello readers, once again. It's your friendly neighborhood SeriousGamer. Okay, that was just corny, and I'm not even talking about a Spider-Man game. Well, not yet anyway. There's still plenty of year left, and even if I don't get it, I'll probably still talk about it. But I digress.

This post actually involves two games, both of which I won for this contest. These rank at number 1 and number 11, if my count is right. Care to take a case at which Castle of Illusion I entered first?

Did the Light Shine in the Darkness?

Shining in the Darkness

Well, I thought it was about time to give some idea of what kind of games I've been playing for that little contest I've mentioned. Rather than start at the beginning, I thought I'd start at the end. This was the most recent game I've beaten, number 60 if you're counting, and it was certainly a step into uncharted territory for me.

I'd never played a game like Shining in the Darkness, mostly because I didn't know about it for a long time.
