Working on my report from Raccoon City...

News From Raccoon City...

So here is another report from Rix. I heard of a hot news story coming from Raccoon City. They tell me about something strange happening to the local water. Some sort of pollution by some corporation named Umbrella.

Well, you know I had to find out. I am currently taking a flight on Capcom Airways heading straight for Raccoon City Airport. I will then make my way towards the local branch of Umbrella to get some answers regarding claims of pollution.

We will hold them accountable if I find out they are polluting. That's my word. I will post the first audio entry soon.

The Tanooki Conspiracy

Mario: Haha... get's them everytime...
Rix: Poor little turtle...smh

Even as I type this and upload my video report I have noticed something. The game industry and all its glitz and glamour seek one objective... to confuse the average gamer!

Well I for one am not taking it anymore. I have published my brief yet effective report and thoughts on this latest (yet brief) investigation of a common misconception that has embarrassed gamer's since... well, Super Mario Bros. 3. My brief video report is down below.

So, with no further ado, look at the video I have brought before you. After I leave the Mushroom Kingdom I will be heading to Raccoon City, I hear there is something in the water there...

The Soul of Dracula

Awesome (and Free!) Castlevania like game

This game is a 2D Platforming Game in the style of Castlevania. It's a good quality and its free! There are bosses in this game along with some intense gameplay. I also have a video that is on my Vimeo channel. So I definitely think its worth a look. I embedded the video down below for your viewing pleasure.

Rix's Thoughts On The Game

The Soul of Dracula by Bunaguchi is a quality game made by a true fan of the genre. The animations (from the birds flying away when you get too close or the zombies jumping out the ground) really add a touch of quality to the production that some indie and fan-made games miss.


There was care and time put into this production, and it shows. Below are some of the main controls for the game. Definitely a fun game for someone looking for quick action in the tradition of Castelvania. And the best part? It's free!


You can download a copy of the game here (make sure you have the translate feature on your browser set as this page is in Japanese).

Rix's Gripe

If I have a gripe with this game it is using a keyboard, and the controls on the keyboard. The special weapons key (C Key) really could have been in a better place. Switching between the whip and the special weapon can get irritating if you are just starting out. If you can get pass this you will have a good time.




Controls:
Pause/Start- Space Bar
Jump- X key
Whip- Z key
Special Weapon- C key
