What I’m Playing: Fire Emblem: Awakening – So far this game rules. I’m a Fire Emblem fan so it probably wasn’t going to take much to get me to like it, but the most impressive thing about it is the sheer amount of content and customization it has compared to previous games in the series. [...]

You may remember around this time last year, I put up a list of indie game music albums that caught my eye (or ears in this case) during that year, along with a few sample tracks for each album. Well, I liked how that turned out and I have a crapload more stuff I’ve listened [...]

“El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron” was released in August 2011 and I started it in August 2012. I’ll keep this write-up a bit brief since there isn’t much to say about this game. The story is a jumble of Christianity references and religious mumbo jumbo. It basically amounts to “Your dude has to beat up fallen angels in a tower [...]

Hey it’s been another year and I was actually able to make this summer project stuff not a one time thing due to laziness! Kudos to me. Anyway, the ideal for this project stemmed back from my college years. One of my roommates, Mike, and I would look at or discuss shot glasses occasionally, and [...]

Mass Effect 3 was released in March earlier this year and I started it up in June. So, before I continue, there will be spoilers about the endings and whatnot, but if your reading this, you probably already know. Speaking of the ending, since that’s all you ever heard about this game in the months [...]

I started Xenoblade Chronicles around mid February and finished at the end of May (then procrastinated a bit before writing this). Technically, this entry is not so late to the party since the US version of Xenoblade Chronicles came out in April, but I’m basing this off the European version I imported, which came out [...]

Shadows of the Damned was released in late June of last year and I started playing it late January. Not much was said about it when it was released since EA, the publisher, basically pretended like it didn’t exist marketing-wise. Since it was made by Grasshopper Manufacturer, known for making games that usually absurd, and [...]

Uncharted 3 was released in early November last year and I started it in mid January. On the whole, I enjoy playing the Uncharted games enough, but I’ve always had somewhat of a love/hate relationship with the series since the games are a prime example of the more overly hand-holding type games I’ve complained about [...]

Barring a few exceptions every now and then, I’m always perpetually late on keeping up with the latest game releases. Part of the reason why is due to my out of control and steadily growing backlog. The other reason is that when I play, I prefer to go at a relatively slow pace and take [...]

With the addition of this post, the grand total post count for 2011 stands at four. Here at Scramble Dash, the emphasis is always on dubious quality over quantity. Anyway, since I’ve picked up a lot of indie game music soundtracks over the past year either as bonuses from buying indie games, or just buying [...]
