Couch Brothers Episode 3

On this third episode we are play another action packed game called Towerfall: Ascension. A great game released in 2013 from Matt Makes Games, a small indie developer that makes games mostly by himself or with a small group of friends. In this multi-player game four archers face each other in a battle royal. To win a match you have to score five points by incapacitating your opponent and at the end of each match everyone is awarded medals based on their performance. I was joined by Corey AKA Faero355 for a another best out of 5 series (see the first series here) that had us jumping in our seats. Enjoy 😉!!!

PlayStation VR Impressions

Originally named "Project Morpheus" the PlayStation VR is Sony's first dive into virtual reality (VR) technology. I finally got my hands on one recently and it was a magical experience. Full disclosure, I've never experienced VR before with any of the other VR headsets (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift) because of the price tag and the ridiculous PC you'll need to run it.

Tip Hunter: Two Great Action Games

Want more tips? I got you covered. Today I have tips for two great games (Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and inFAMOUS Second Son) if you are a achievement or trophy hunter like me.

Drop Everything - inFAMOUS Second Son

You can only get this trophy after beating the game. You need to climb the tallest building in the game which is located Uptown. This is the same building you climbed before facing the final boss so follow the same path from before. At the top you'll see a satellite dish. Dash in it using your video powers then quickly use a double air surge (press twice in a row) and then hold down to perform a Comet Drop. Try to land on the street and then... 🎵 pop goes the trophy sound 🎵.

Couch Brothers Episode 2

In the second episode of 'Couch Bros' we're playing the action packed fighting game Nidhogg. This indie game came out in 2014 by Messhof Games. It's extreme fencing where the winner of each game gets eaten by a Nidhogg (get it). I was joined by Corey AKA Faero355 for a best out of 5 series and I hope you enjoy the carnage. Sorry about the audio. I selected the wrong microphone by mistake. 😢

Tip Hunter: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Today I'll like to share two Metal Gear Solid V tips that I recorded that could help you in your quest for world domination (or trophy domination).

How to take out an armored vehicle (non-lethally)

It's fairly simple. Unlock the smoke dispersal support from upgrading your support unit. This allows you to bombard the enemy with smoke bombs for roughly 14000 GMP. But first you'll need to mark the targets before you can make the request. Follow the clip below on how to go about taking out the armored unit with ease.

5 Top games that scared the S*!T out of me

It's that time of the year again. A time when it's cool to scare people, more horror movies hit the big and small screens and children from foreign lands (Westmoorings) dress up like ghost 'n goblins (see what I did there) to get snacks and candy. I thought it would be fun to list some of the top games that affected me... in a frightening way of course. Some of these are not horror games but they had horror elements in them that made me quite uncomfortable while playing them. I dear you to play each clip below and not clinch your butt once.

5. Maniac Mansion

Where is the run button?

According to my mother this game gave me nightmares and she could never understood why I used to play it as a kid. Maybe it was because I sucked at playing it so bad that it felt like a slasher movie where all the teenagers eventually die in the end. But that wasn't the scariest part. The track that played when you got caught freaked me OUT! Listen to it:

FIFA 17 Impressions with Faero355

Recently sat down with my cousin (@Faero355) to talk FIFA 17. We talked about the changes in gameplay, additional features, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) and perception of gamers in Trinidad and Tobago. In all we had fun. You may have to raise the volume a bit because the audio is low.

5 Top Games for Party Animals

Trinidad and Tobago has a lot of parties. I'm sure if you tune in to any local radio station there are several parties being promoted. Around carnival season the number of parties triple and they evolve into fetes (I'm not even kidding). Games have a way of bringing people together as well because some games are best when others a playing right next to you. That's why I listed (any order) some of the best video games to play during or before any party occasion (casual lime to WASA fete). *Shameless Plug* All games shown in this post are available to rent @ Chrono Fantany Entertainment 😉.

Rock Band/ Guitar Hero (All platforms)

How are the two guitarists playing?

Have you always dreamed of being a rock star? Well now you can (well... kinda). This game lets you play the drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboard or even sing and it's incredibly fun. There are tons of songs to choose as well from Bon Jovi to Metallica.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Impressions

Nostalgia is a hell of a thing because when I sit down and remember Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in my head it looked great. It looked like the following screenshots Activision released recently.

Post Budget 2016 Tips

With new taxes on online shopping, increase in gas prices and other taxes some people may find it hard to spend money on video games. This hobby isn't cheap as some of the latest technologies in gaming can go for over $4000 TTD (I'm looking at you PlayStation VR). That's why I have put together a list of games that wouldn't break the bank.

Android and IOS Games

Run endlessly

Do you have a smart phone or tablet? Heck! Almost everyone has one these days (my 4 year old niece is a tablet master). There are many free games that you can download on these devices that are great but watch out for freemium games like Clash of Clans and Real Racing that are designed to suck the money right out of your wallet. Here are some good ones:

10 Top Games of All Time (For Me...)

For my first blog post I thought it would be fun for me to list my top ten video games of all time. It would help you understand my preference and video game history. This list is purely personal as I will only list the top games that had the biggest impact on me from when I was child to adulthood. Thus, meta critic scores do not matter as I'm judging this list based on nostalgia alone (it may be biased ^_^). So without further ado, let's get started.

10. Soldier of Fortune 2 (PC)

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!

No other shooter could take me back to the days of Soldier of Fortune 2. Never have I played a shooter that was so technical that you could lean and crouch like Neo in Matrix to dodge bullets. It didn't have all the perks and systems of current shooters (I'm looking at you Call of Duty) but it was fun LAN partying in SIP n Surf Internet Cafe and JAVA back in the days for hours and hours. Damn, they made a ton of money from my friends and I. 

9. Tales of Destiny 2 (PSX)

Time to explore.

Oooooo the nostalgia I get just thinking about the hours spent in this magical world. I bought this at a whim not knowing anything about it (this was before I had the internet). It was a good decision because it was an epic tale spanning across two different world maps (talking three discs) and it was a multiplayer JRPG (my mind was blown). My brother and I played together. He was a warrior character and I was magic user. We did everything possible in the game (Time Craymel anyone). Good times.
