So I purchased an Amazon Fire Stick TV. It's great for watching Amazon Prime movies/music, twitch, youtube, and whatever video app is your poison. Noticed they had games, when I saw it, realized it was pretty much all mobile games transferred to the tv, but Amazon sells a controller. So I bought one. First off, first game I played was Asphalt 8, which is a Burnout clone. I initially played games with only the remote that came out of the box, like a tv remote, not an actual game controller. Weird, but fun experience. Bought Canabalt HD and it's a liberating feeling to just veg out on the sofa and just hit one button. Laziest gaming I've ever done. Highly recommend that. Jack in the Box is sold in the store, haven't played it, but if it uses the remote, and your buddies all have phones with bluetooth, that's a reasonable purchase to make for fun party games.
So when I got the controller, I tried this dollar game called Grave Stompers. Such a mobile game. It's a horde mode style hack n slash/shoot em up game. Kind of bad, but it scratches that get in/out type of gameplay where you play for a bit that I enjoy about these low budget trash games. I played Pacman 256, which is amazing, but holy f***, it shoves the microtransactions in my damn face. I hate it, but the gameplay is just that good and it looks great on my tv. I might try to even do a longplay vid of that since it's basically a "survive as long as you can" version of pacman. You play one level, but that's part of the fun. No need to buy the extra crap so far.
Tried flappy birds. It f***ing sucked.
