Throwback Thursday: Shadow of Rome

I know how y'all like them Throwback Thursdays so here's a little something. I got Jiks to try out Shadow of Rome on the PS2. I got a PS2 pretty late in its life cycle so I didn't really get to experience a lot of PS2 games during its reign. I watched Brad from 4PlayerNetwork play Shadow of Rome as well as seeing a cousin of my friend play it. To my surprise it had quite a few gameplay mechanics other than just gruesome combat. I played a bit of this game a few years ago and got Jiks (who grew up with a GBA during the early 2000s) to check out the game and see what he thought of it.

Resident Evil 6 Leon Capaign

Me and Bud were brave enough to play Capcom's Resident Evil 6. Even braver still we played it on one console using the split screen option. Each part will come out daily until the very end of this campaign. Check out the trailer below as well as the play list.

Migoy and Jiks Play Bionic Command on Commando Mode

So I got Bionic Commando second hand a while ago and haven't played it yet so me and Jiks decided to give it a whirl. I wouldn't recommend picking Commando mode right off the bat though.

Recent Buys: Episode 25 - Absence of Injustice Arrow: Komplete Edition

I haven't done one of these in a while mainly due to personal financials but here we have another episode of Recent Buys. Grabbed myself 2nd hand copies of Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition and Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, both for PS3. Thanks to South Rage Manila for hooking me up with those games. I also mention what game has currently been eating up a lot of my time and that is Super Robot Wars Z2 Hakai-hen (Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen z Hakai-hen) on the PSP.

When I recorded this, I just received my DLC code for the Arrow skin in Injustice: Gods Among Us from the show Arrow. The costume looks cool but I'm a little disappointed that Stephen Amell's voice is only used for the entrance, win and clash quotes while all the grunts are still generic Green Arrow voice clips.

Going Old School - Pocket Fighter (PS1)

Here's a little Throwback Thursday us. A fun little fighting game that I'm sure is near and dear to a lot of people's hearts. A little gem that I wish Capcom would give the digital HD port / PS1 Classics treatment to. It's Pocket Fighter (Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix in Japan) for the original PlayStation.

Migoy and his cousin Jiks do a first to 10 set with Jiks on the 1P side and Migoy on 2P.
