While at Pax South 2016 I got a chance to play Tron Run/r. This is a new take on the runner games and adds action to it as you fight your way through the levels. There are two parts to this the runner and the light cycle. I only played the runner part but viewed a light cycle mission. I believe it is available on steam already but will be available on the 16th of February for Xbox and PlayStation.</div>

Day 2 of Pax South 2016 I headed to the convention on a mission to try to find things I may have missed from day 1. Day 2 had a few gems and we will briefly talk about a few.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cX-VBcyCu8Q/VrBXH5q4tCI/AAAAAAAABlU/-yETHX7i9qo/s1600/SAM_0040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cX-VBcyCu8Q/VrBXH5q4tCI/AAAAAAAABlU/-yETHX7i9qo/s200/SAM_0040.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
For starters I glanced over the Capcom booth and missed what would be one of my favorite games of the convention in Umbrella Corps. This game was extremely addicting and fun to play. Its a tactical team based shooter set in Resident Evil universe and basically you take on each other while zombies roam the map.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzxmigwdwos_VfRB2lFUGPMC7fc484ThjokdPEDg_GxVX7Zv646jlUd5iK9yiz1GOgOyD57h82M9exgCSmY24SxsEpAfdYNeVftxO-Rn6TVSOrpZBFHGy50zF6-dXb9xgKoGbOx428zc/s1600/SAM_0707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzxmigwdwos_VfRB2lFUGPMC7fc484ThjokdPEDg_GxVX7Zv646jlUd5iK9yiz1GOgOyD57h82M9exgCSmY24SxsEpAfdYNeVftxO-Rn6TVSOrpZBFHGy50zF6-dXb9xgKoGbOx428zc/s200/SAM_0707.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
Next I stopped by the CinchGaming booth to check out the controllers they had on demo. I have been looking for a PS4 equivalent controller to my Xbox Elite controller and Cinch Gaming will probably be who will satisfy that need. You can get more on that from my article <a href="http://www.fulleffectgaming.com/2016/01/pax-south-2016-cinchgaming.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All around the exhibition floor you will find PC companies everywhere. Each company had their fully loaded PC's up for display and demo. Here are a few.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next up I stop by the Pax Arena and checked out a match that <a class="ProfileCardMini-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav u-dir" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/MVG_Mew2King" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #66757f; direction: ltr !important; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none !important; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: text-top;"><span style="color: #66757f; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 13px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: text-top;">@</span></span><span class="u-linkComplex-target" style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #66757f; direction: ltr; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1; outline: 0px; text-decoration: underline; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: text-top;">MVG_Mew2King</span></a> was having in the Smash Bro tournament.<br />

The Astro booth was next as I checked out the Plants Vs Zombie Garden Warfare 2 demos they had as well as picked up a Xbox1 Mix amp and Black ops 3 Mod kit for my TR headsets.<br />

This at first i thought would have turned me away but after trying it I can see how beneficial it is. You don’t have to worry about anything breaking and if you don’t need the extra buttons for a game they won’t be in the way. Unlike the scuff controller you can quickly customize your buttons without extra parts. </span></div>

So today at Pax South I stumbled upon this indi game in development by two guys for Blink Theory Studios. This game took me by surprise and was actually a fun action hack n slash game. You take control of a girl named Alice who is a student in Tokyo who follows her rabbit down its hole and is trapped in Wonderland. For more info click the video and be sure to visit them at <a href="http://www.blinktheorystudios.com/">www.blinktheorystudios.com</a></center>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So while at Pax South I ran into Dan Higgens owner of Lunchtime Studios. He told me about his upcoming game Lords Of New York. This is a story driven poker game. This is the first time I have heard about something like this but it looks interesting and when the game comes out I am going to give it a try. For more info visit www.lordsofnewyork.com and check out the demo video. </div>

<a name='more'></a>The first thing I noticed was the absence of the bigger console companies like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Activision, Ubisoft, EA, and others. Capcom would be the only big name console gaming company with a booth there. <br />

When you first walk into the expo hall you are greeted with a gigantic booth which houses the game Dreadnought. This game made by Greybox for Redux! Games LLC has you taking control of these huge battleships in a sci-fi universe. <br />
<a name='more'></a>You will be able to fight in team death-match or team elimination in several maps. You will have the options to choose between five different ships which you can customize its armor and weapons.<br />

Space battles, and flying really are not my cup of tea but playing this game was actually easy to get the hang of. Its not as fast pace as other shooters of its kind and it has you really rely on your team for victory. My first time on the game I lead my team in kills with no deaths and we took the victory. I did not get a release date but if you visit <a href="http://www.greybox.com/" target="_blank">WWW.GREYBOX.COM </a>and click on the game it will take you to a site where you can sign up for the beta.

If you follow me on twitter than you know I have been thinking about getting a DXRACER chair for a while now. Here at Pax South they had a booth with all their chairs on display for people to sit and see how they feel.<br />

I thought spending 300 and up on a chair was kind of stupid but then had to think about what a actual good office chair costs and the fact that I'm sitting for a good portion of my day. If sit and play games for more than 2 to 3 hours a day then I should invest in something comfortable and that will last (I have gone through several cheaper office chairs). Well being able to actually try them out in person has made me a believer. These are some sturdy and really comfortable chairs. They come in several different styles, sizes and colors and I just cant express enough how great they feel. Check out the images and visit <a href="http://www.dxracer.com/">WWW.DXRACER.COM</a> to get more info.<br />

This was a surprising new take on first person shooting and couch multiplayer. So you get a split screen just like any other couch multiplayer shooter but instead everyone is invisible on your section of the screen.</span><br />

It sounds weird and at first playing is different as well. But after you get the hang of looking at the other players screens you start to get the hang of it. This is one of those great party games to bring back local couch multiplayer. As well as couch multiplayer you can play online with up to 8 players and you will be able to see everyone's screen online as well. It has been available on on steam for about a year now and coming soon to Xbox 1 and Playstation 4. </span><br />

One of the many things that hurt the PSP was control configurations. So this was something to get excited for as now the main problem was fixed. Take the dual analog sticks along with new powerful hardware and promising games and I was sure the VIta was going to be a success. But Sony for some strange reason put a choke hold on its own success. This article will discuss how I think Sony killed its own portable system. </span></div>

Sony offered two models a wifi only for $249.00, and a AT&T 3G model for $299.00. As much as I liked the system and I bought a day 1 AT&T 3G model the system was too expensive. During that time Sony’s main console the PlayStation 3 could be attained for $250.00. So you take a library of hit games and a full fledged home console vs a portable with not that many games and you can see how that will fare in the stores. Nintendo with their handheld selling for $170 granted less powerful, but has several hundreds of titles under its belt as well as backwards compatibility you can see why the PlayStation Vita would not be an attractive purchase. </span></div>

The PSP had proprietary memory cards but Sony allowed other companies to make the cards so you could get a better deal on memory that what Sony was offering. With the Vita it's strictly Sony. The pricing of memory went, 4GB-$19.99, 8GB-$29.99, 16GB-$59.99, and 32GB-$99.99. So you would think you just need the memory for game saves and other media so you would just get the cheaper cards? That would be the ideal situation if the Vita games didn't have installs and software updates. So if you had 3 or 4 games that 4GB card is pretty much useless, 8GB will probably be full. So the best bet to take advantage of owning multiple games as well as if you are a PlayStation Plus member and you take advantage of the monthly free games is the 32GB memory card. This cost almost half the system itself so you can see why this is not an attractive situation to be in if you actually plan on putting lots of time in this system. </span></div>

They would allow mobile game developers to port games on the Vita but would make the companies charge more for the same games they released on phones for cheaper. There were a couple of games that you could purchase for $.99 on mobile devices but in the PlayStation store these games would be five to ten bucks. The exact same games nothing new nothing special about them. That is an insult to consumers and should not have ever been allowed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The final blow would be Sony themselves coming out and stating that they would no longer be supporting the system with AAA games. Wait What?!! What sense did this make? So instead of supporting the people who were loyal to your system, instead of lowering the price of system and memory to something more desirable you just give up? To add insult to injury they come out with PlayStation Vita TV which is a home console version of the portable. Again what sense did this make? It is sad that a company that makes great products would lose touch with its consumers this much. Lets hope that they take a break from the portable market or if they come back have their t’s crossed and i’s dotted cause they miss the mark with the Vita and left a sour taste in a lot of consumers mouths. While Sony is not supporting the system there are a few developers along with indie developers that still make some ok games for the system just not big blockbuster type games. So if those type of games are your cup of tea then the PlayStation Vita might still offer some fun for you. </span></div>

But I feel like they don't have the options that the other consoles have. Even though you might say the offerings on Sony and Microsoft are the same the fact is they still have choice so whichever you choose you still have multiple choices. What are these choices that I am talking about? Multiple choices in each genre. Nintendo lacks in this department. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a>This is also why they need third party support despite what its loyal fan base may think. Right now the Nintendo community is divided on what they feel Nintendo should focus on. Some say they should keep doing what they are doing and not change, some say they only need to tap into more of their franchises, and others think they need to offer the same type of games the other two consoles have. I feel that they need to do a combination of all three. They need to keep doing what they are doing well, tap into more of their franchises and offer the same type of games the competition is offering.<br />

I say Nintendo can still do what they do well but they need to cater to everyone. Nintendo fans have to stop this bratty child like attitude where they tell people if they want this type of game go play it on those consoles. This does not help Nintendo at all. Nintendo and its fans have to stop treating Nintendo systems as a second console. Stop being that partnered console with one of the other two. Nintendo going forward needs to get people when they come into the store and say “hey I want this console over all the other offerings. I can get not only the same thing the other consoles offer but I can get more in Nintendo exclusives as well.” When Nintendo comes out with the NX they need to convince people that their console is the best console to own. You can't do that with just exclusive titles because not everyone just plays exclusive titles. You also can't do that when you lack choices in genres. Right now Nintendo is that companion console to go alongside the other consoles and while that is ok it's not the mentality of an industry leader. So whether you're a happy fan or not you have to understand this is a business and Nintendo wants to be that industry leader. In order to do that they have to come out, outplay and out market the competition and show consumers they are the top dog. </span></div>

Fanboys have used sales numbers to beat their chest as to say what console is better and what console is failing. While sales won't tell you what console is better, or affect your fun, there are times when sales talk is needed to explain different things that take place in the industry.</span><br />

If they are doing poorly in one department and well in another that tells the company and investors what they need to focus on to keep the money rolling in. Because at the end of the day even though we hate to admit it the gaming industry is a business whose bottom line is to make money.</span></div>

While on one part you are right but on another you are wrong. Take for example everyone is always complaining about how games copy each other, or how they don't change and each year they keep releasing a sequel. This is because those games sell and new franchises are gambles that don't always pay out. Call of duty is a game that garners a lot of hate within the gaming industry but yet the sales numbers don't reflect that hate. So when you are Activision do you listen to the countless rants about the game or do you look at your sales numbers and see that you are making a profit? Activision being a business is going to look at the numbers and continue to do what has gotten them the numbers. </span></div>

When companies decide to make games they are looking at the sales of the platforms they are possibly going to develop on and if the possibility of return is high. The more systems in a home the higher possibility of profit. </span></div>

But sales do show trends in what people are buying vs something else. Companies rely on these sales to see what they should focus on. Lets face it gamers tend to change their mind like the wind so that's not something a business will put money into. Now this doesn't mean you should focus your attention to sales or even base your purchasing decisions on sales numbers, it just means they do matter to an extent. So next time you look at the numbers take your personal feelings out of the thought process and see if you can see what the numbers are saying. </span></div>

Seeing as I watch anime everyday I thought it would be a good idea to share what I watched that week and give brief thoughts on it. This week's anime is Seraph of the End.</span><br />

Vampires came to rule the world after a mysterious disease wiped out majority of mankind. Tired of being slaves the pair hatch a plan to escape with the rest of the orphans but end up being caught and killed all except Yuichiro who manages to getaway.</span></div>

They are called this because of the weapons they wield have demons trapped in them, and are the only weapons effective against the vampires. He agrees to join them as long as he gets to kill vampires for revenge. Along the way he will meet several other characters who will become his companions on his quest to wipe out vampires. This is the main plot but as the anime progresses the plot thickens and we discover new things and all is not as it seems. </span></div>

I have always been drawn to vampire or werewolf stories so this was no surprise that I would enjoy it. I did not how ever think the animation, story, and music would be as good as it was. This is one of those anime that sets itself apart from the rest of the pack. The second season just ended this past week so if you have time do yourself a favor and put this on your list of anime to watch you won’t regret it. </span></div>
