Something was bugging me. I had put 5 hours into Sunset Overdrive, and some elements of play were evoking a sense of Déjà vu. Sure, there were the obvious allusions to Crackdown. The ominous voice, the hidden orbs, the open wold city. Hell, I bought the game knowing it was Crackdown-esque, that was part of the appeal for me. No, this feeling, it was from another game. I dug deeper.
So you’re wanting to play one of the many original Xbox games that isn’t backwards compatible with your new Xbox 360 or Xbox One system. That’s cool, and everything is going great until you go to drag out your old Xbox and remember that your TV only has HDMI. Not wanting to clutter up your wall with another plug, and not wanting to take the lid off of your Xbox, there’s still another way!
Regardless of how you feel about Disney’s acquisition of Marvel, as a reviewer of video games it became a very bleak time in the early months of 2014. There was more than one calamity that befell consumers as a result of that purchase. All Activision Marvel games lost their license. All future video game license deals for current properties were off the table, and current games were pulled from digital stores. That meant no more “Marvel vs Capcom”, and no more Deadpool. While many of us had time to play the Vs series, Deadpool had just been released 6 months prior to the merger. It hardly had a chance. So color me surprised when I found a used copy hiding at my local big-box store.
As many of my readers may know, I’m a big fan of Kickstarter. I’ve backed a metric tonne of half-baked projects and bad ideas, and I love that we have platforms that allow us to shoot for the moon and try crazy things.
We live in a magical time for computer users. Hardware is cheap and plentiful, processors have been stagnant for a decade, and the cycle of constant upgrades has finally stopped.
“Why is there a resume.JSON format and not a gamelist.JSON format?” I thought to myself this morning. This afternoon I wrote out a first draft of the gamelist.JSON format, and this evening I wrote an android application for viewing gamelist.JSON files. You’ll never again have to use closed or proprietary formats when cataloging your games.
This is a game list viewer application. Allows you to view gamelist.JSON files created in any JSON gamelist generator. Downloads icons from websites, alphabetizes game lists, and is fast and completely ad free.
JSON Resume Viewer is a native Android application for viewing resume.JSON files natively on Android devices.

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is a bit of an aberration. Oh no, it’s not a bad game, not at all. It’s a great game. It improves upon the original in many ways. And yet, I rate it slightly below the original. It’s the rare case of an excellent sequal to an excellent game being somehow better and yet worse than the original.
