I love indie games. I love cheap indie games. I love charities. I love Humble Indie Bundles! And we have another one! Admittedly it’s not as good as the first 2, but hey, you get five solid games, and some of the money goes to charity.
It’s already sold over 88,000 bundles, so get yours now!
A review of the games is coming soon…
Yes and no. It’s true that all of the 3DS games that have come out so far are meh at best, but on June 28th, 2 great 3DS games come out. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked and Cave Story 3d. There’s only one problem. They are both remakes. However, both are great games, and both are worth getting in 3D.
Everyone knows CaveStory as it is a masterpiece. But Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor from Atlus is a bit less known, but also pretty awesome. And this remake adds a lot of new endings, so it will be worth picking up.
With updated Graphics, sound, and voice acting, Devil Survivor is a must buy 3DS game. If you own the original, it’s not a must, but otherwise it is.
In other news Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 has been announced for the DS. Atlus is still making new games too…
Anthony Horowitz newest and final Alex rider book is yet again the same as the past books, with a few nice plot twists. Anyone who is a fan of Alex Rider can not miss this book, and anyone who for some reason hates Alex rider, well, this book won’t change your mind at all.
Scorpia is back, albeit weak. However, they land a job that will bring them back into the forefront of the criminal world. They give the job to Razim, who comes up with a plan that will get them what they want, and will end up in Alex Rider dead. The first quarter of the book is all about how Scorpia is planing to manipulate MI6.
Scorpia’s plan works, and MI6 does exactly what they want. Alex is persuaded to go to a school in Cario to keep an eye on the new head of security, Eric Gunter. Gunter is indeed evil and planning an assassination, and will blame it all on Alex by using Alex’s clone to commit the murder. Yes, Alex has an evil clone. Alex does his spy stuff, but unlike other books, Alex is being manipulated the entire time. Sure, not everything was planned, but Alex was powerless for the first 300 or so pages.
However, like always, Alex defeats his enemies in the coolest ways. Killing Gunter with a Scorpion? Sending Razim into a pile of salt? And the way he disposed of his clone was pretty shocking.
The ending however was lacking. The end was meh. That’s all I have to say.
Scorpia rising was a solid Alex Rider book, but didn’t feel like a conclusion. It felt more like a lead up to a conclusion. Overall, it’s an Alex Rider book. Go read it.
8.5/10
I had a lot of fun the past few years, but it’s time for Random Absurdity to end. I haven’t kept up a lot recently, so it’s time to kill this project. Thanks for reading,
APRIL FOOLS!

A fake 40 year history of gamefaqs? And a fake poll? After last year of gamefaqs doing nothing, it’s great.
