The history of the Ace Combat series (Part five)

The thrilling conclusion to a series of posts that everybody seems to absolutely love! Yeah, and by everybody, I mean nobody. But I decided to stick to this until the end, and so I have. So here we go: Ace Combat 6 and the unknown future of the series.

The history of the Ace Combat series (Part four)

Part four out of five in this series talks about the various spin off games in the series that were released around the time of or after the release of Ace Combat 5. These games aren’t all the best in the series, as they range from “good” to “awful” in many regards. Let’s continue the game history, shall we?

The history of the Ace Combat series (Part three)

This is where things really get interesting. Part three of five will focus on the first two PS2 entries in the series, one of which I not only consider the best among them all, but one of my favorite games of all time. Without further delay, here’s the third part of the history of Ace Combat!

The history of the Ace Combat series (Part two)

Here’s part two in a series I hope to see through until the end! This focuses on the two sequels for the original PS1 and offers a brief summary of my own opinion on both, since they are the two that really got me into the series. Enjoy! Or not!

The history of the Ace Combat series (Part one)

Ace Combat is a long running arcade/flight simulator series that started quite some time ago, and is still going strong today. I consider it one of my favorite game series of all time, with more recent entries becoming groundbreaking both in terms of gameplay and story telling. While not all of the games have been successful, either in terms of fan/critic response and sales, the series is generally known for setting the standard for all flight combat games from this point on. Here is part one of a the history of Ace Combat, enjoy!

My favorite game of all time (featuring a special guest post concerning one of the greatest game series of all time PART SIX)

The suspense is killing you. You’re just dying to find out what my favorite game of all time. I know you are. You’re not going to be able to stand it much longer! You’re probably not even reading this, you’re going to scroll past everything I’m writing right now to get to what my favorite game is.

Well, I’m going to throw in another guest post from Grey Fox about Metal Gear Solid that…well, has some connection to my favorite game. I’ll let you figure it out from here!

CHA-CHING! (featuring a special guest post concerning one of the greatest game series of all time PART FIVE)

Video game sales for November were HUGE! I mean, the top two selling games in November made a total of around $3 million ALONE. That’s pretty impressive. As of no surprise to anyone, Gears of War 2 took the top spot, with $1.56 million, and Call of Duty: World at War took a close second with $1.41 million. Now, with the economy as bad as it is right now, you’d never think people would be focusing on buying games, now would you?

Prince of Persia looks WHOA (featuring a special guest post concerning one of the greatest game series of all time PART FOUR)

Prince of Persia is coming out this week, and I never spent time to talk about the game. I’m sure I’ll be posting plenty of impressions and such when it is finally released, but at this point in time, let me focus on one thing: the brilliant art style of the game. I love when games don’t go for a “realistic” look, and decide to be cartoony or stylized, and 90% of the time that style fits the game. I still consider The Wind Waker the best looking Zelda game because I felt that “cartoony” look fit Zelda more than the realistic look of a game like Twilight Princess. If I had a choice, I would make all future 3D Zelda games with that same art style.

Animal Crossing is BACK! (featuring a special guest post concerning one of the greatest game series of all time PART THREE)

Animal Crossing: City Folk, the third game in a series that is more addictive (and better) than World of Warcraft, has been released today. And I would spend this post talking about it, but the thing is…I’M BROKE! At least for a few days. Why is Animal Crossing so addictive? I DON’T KNOW! It’s so simplistic. YOU FISH, YOU DIG FOR FOSSILS. How boring is that? But…but it’s not. And with the addition of online, I guarantee it’ll just never get old. This will be the BEST ANIMAL CROSSING EVER. Until the next one anyway.

Let’s talk about ROCK! (featuring a special guest post concerning one of the greatest game series of all time PART TWO)

Guitar Hero: World Tour (aka Rock Band with a Guitar Hero spin) has recently been released, and yesterday I had a chance to play it for a few hours. I tried the new guitar and drums, and had a chance to play an extensive amount of songs. Ranging from songs we’ve played in Rock Band, to songs we’ve played in Rock Band 2, this is a pretty good collection that can be found elsewhere! But the exclusive songs the game has, including Hot for Teacher and Crazy Train, and a few songs from Tool are a nice addition and are some of the best in the game. But, is this better than Rock Band? Yes, it’s better than Rock Band. Keep in mind, I didn’t say Rock Band 2.
