PPR 89

ell wouldn’t you know it—Press Pause Radio has done the one thing they haven’t done in pretty long while; record an actual podcast…

Yup, aside from all of the reviews, and features, and Play Plays, we were all able to hop back into the studio after a month long break; so as you can imagine, we’re playing a whole lot of catch-up in this episode. Andrew, Ser, and George pick things right up with Mountain Lions, Fatherhood, Hyrule Warriors, Destiny, Craigslist, Mortal Kombat X, infamous First Light, Crypt of The Necrodancer, Neo Geo CD, terrible relationship advice, Twin Tiger Shark, the definition of an indie game, and more!

Try to keep up, hell, who’re we kidding, we get sort of lost on this ride ourselves, but what else should we have we expected? We’re just happy to be back!

QCF: Fenix Rage

ust one more time. 

Just one more time. 

You've been there. You've played “that” kind of game. You've said these words. Death after death, stage after stage, hour after hour; going through these relentless motions is what can make a player love and hate a game all at once. Fenix Rage is the kind of game, a title that can addict you in ways that has you twitching in its absence—you know you can get through the level set. You can feel it. It calls your name when you're not there. When you play, you know that if you moved your guy like, right freaking there, you'd be home free.

Just one more time...

PPR Presents Play Play: Street Fighter X Mega Man

t’s no secret that we’ve seen the Blue Bomber make appearances within a slew of fighting games like the latest Super Smash Bros for example, but only once have we ever seen a group of brawlers ever step onto Mega Man’s turf; and boy did Capcom make a day out of it.

We pull out our keyboards and USB controllers to navigate the Super Fighting Robot as he challenges the World Warriors of Street Fighter fame and the PPR gang gathers around.

George has some second thoughts about his initial impressions around the game when it first launched while Gil argues that the game is more charming than it ever was if anything else, and Ser is just happy to hear the jarbled nonsense of what a “Shoryuken” sounds like when ran through emulated 8-bit sound processor and more!

PPR Presents Play Play: Mario Clash

yestrain be damned, the PPR crew decide to take the leap against Al’s advice, (or any other sane person for that matter), back in the crimson long-stare of the Nintendo Virtual Boy.

So what sort of disappointment have we signed up for this time around? Mario Clash—an enhanced, stereoscopic take on the original Mario Bros, and a side of JR Tolkien flavored nightmare fuel for good measure.

The cast on tap is humorously diverse on the title; Ser has fond memories, George thinks it’s a pile of hot trash, and Gil ended up suffering an existential crisis from the whole thing all together—what a Play Play right!?

Bullet Heaven EX-12 - Raiden III Revisited

n episode 35 of Bullet Heaven HD, we took an in-depth look at Raiden III for the Playstation 2 and it ended up getting a bit of lashing. Just how well does it fare on PC?

QCF: Five Nights at Freddy's

n the vein of Stephen King’s It or Chucky, Five Nights at Freddy’s takes on one of the creepiest characters from our collective childhood ­ the animatronic robots dressed as cuddly stuffed animals that perform at amusement parks and fun centers. Their dead eyes and jerky movements place them firmly in the Uncanny Valley ­ a bit too life­like for comfort. Why did these things exist?

Whoever thought they were appropriate for children? Even as a little girl I remember shrinking away whenever they “looked” at me (also, people who dress up as statues). These robots are creepy as hell, making them the perfect villains for this atmospheric nightmare game.

PPR Presents Play Play: Pokémon Type Wild

intendo and Bandai Namco dropped a pretty loud bombshell of a reveal last month with the announcement of a collaborative development of a Pokémon spin-off that’ll be styled in the vein of a Tekken fighter.

I mean, it’s one of the experiments that Pokémanics have all been waiting for aside from the boisterous demand for an MMO of the license right? Well…

Some really talented folks who already have experience with working on the property have taken it upon themselves to release fan-produced freeware title that endorses all of the proud tradition and convention of 2D fighters—Pokémon Type Wild.

A handful of us here at PPR give this quirky take on the brand a spin, and share some opinion on why it may have already outdone whatever fighting game that the official folks are cooking up.

PPR Presents Play Play: Legend of Princess

ow that Nintendo has embraced the idea of Link and the gang getting fierce and brutal with Hyrule Warriors, we figure we would drum up another action-heavy approach to the Zelda-cannon; that’s ironically not recognized as cannon because it’s a fan game—a super sweet fan game.

Join Ser, Gil, and Georgie as they guide the inconspicuously salmon pink haired antagonist through labyrinthine death-traps and colorfully bat-shit nonsense that can’t help but scream Z-E-L-D-A from the top of its figurative lungs in Legend of Princess.

This is a freeware title too, join in on the fun right here!
