App of the Week: Cthulhu Virtual Pet

Image
Cthulhu Virtual Pet Publisher: NeuroCreativa Platform: Android Price: Free! Do you love Cthulhu?  Do you love Tomagotchi?  Oh boy, do I have a treat for you!   Cthulhu Virtual Pet does exactly what you think it would.  It allows you to raise your own adorable eldritch horror through means all too familiar to children of the 90's. The idea is to raise a happy and healthy Old One through regular baths (despite living in the ocean), feeding him all manners of organisms, and by plaguing humanity with the priest of R'yleh.  To assist with this are four meters that must be kept up: food, sleep, health, and happiness.  There are a variety of activities to increase each. Aside from the game itself, there are several mini-games available.  They range from a Flappy Bird knockoff to a bridge builder and several others based on simple tapping.  Unlike the main game, these mini-games are frustratingly difficult.

Games with Gold - Lords of the Fallen

Release: 2nd half of March 2016 Platform: Xbox One Lords of the Fallen is very reminiscent of the From Software titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Its not as polished, but still fun.

App of the Week: Where is Xur?

Image
Where is Xur? Publisher: Crocus Games Platform: Android Price: Free! If you play Destiny, you are familiar with Xur.  You're also familiar that he only shows up on the weekends for a set amount of time and his inventory is randomized.  Adding to that frustration, his location within the Tower is randomized.  Week after week, numerous guardians search the tower for Xur and hope that he'll have something good for them. Where is Xur? simplifies this task by pinpointing him on the map, showing his inventory, and the cost.  It's simple, to the point, and reliable.  If you play Destiny, this is a must-have app.

Adblock Browser Publisher: Eyeo GmbH Platform: Android Price: Free! Ads suck.  Unfortunately, in our glorious capitalist society, most content creators, sites, networks, etc. rely on ads.  Over the years, these ads have been increasing in number, aggressiveness, and overall annoyance.  Worst of all, some ads have malware behind them that will try to install on your device and generally ruin your day.

Games with Gold - Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes

Image
The first Xbox One Games with Gold title for March 2016 is Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes.  It's slow, predictable, the controls are bad, the mini games even worse, and is frustrating.  Yet, I want to play it out.

Boba Fett is a Cheater

During a recent match in Star Wars Battlefront, I ran into the famous bounty hunter.  I thought we used the same rifle, but his seems to be a little too powerful.

Bonk!

Destiny Broke My Legs

I hit a loading wall on Earth and found my back now had a better range of motion than an owl's neck.
