glimmer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Little Dragons Cafe Promised you on my latest stream that I would write this - so here it is! I picked up Little Dragons Cafe on the day it came out from my local game store. I pre-ordered a copy of the limited edition that ran around $80.00. It came with a stuffed animal dragon about the size of my hands put together, some art cards, reversible box art, a CD, and the game (check out my unboxing video here ). I won't go into if I think the special edition of the game I purchased was worth it, as I can always go into that in a separate post if I so choose to, but I will say that it was a pricey number for a game that not many people knew about. I still wonder who the target audience for the game is. Who picked up the limited edition (besides myself, of course)? Right off the bat, you will notice the game's art style. It's really a big part of what it has going for it. The art makes me feel like the story is coming out of ...

g1immer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Shenmue 1 Re-Release Hi everyone! If you follow me on twitch, you may be aware that I picked up a physical copy of Shenmue 1+2 for the Playstation 4 on its release date (this Tuesday, 8/21/18). I will go over my experience with the game, pros and cons, memories it brings up, etc! I hope this won't be too scatter-brained, but let's dive right in! First off, this was a re-release, NOT a re-master or a re-make. The difference, to put it simply, is that a re-master has increased graphics and that is it. A re-make would be everything looks way more shiny and new. A re-release is basically just the game and all its bugs and quirks, slapped on the new system. Graphics may still look like they are from the 2000's, but that era always gives me the heart flutters (you are talking to a girl who loved her Nintendo GameCube so go figure)! The box came with a poster with the cover art and the image on the back of it, with some girl an...

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...
