Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition is Available


My enjoyment of Fallout: New Vegas and its subsequent DLC is fairly well documented on this blog, so I won't go in depth.  But if you haven't played it yourself, it's a pretty good value to get the Ultimate Edition (with all DLC) from Amazon above.

Flash Game Friday: Burrito Bison Revenge


One of my favorite launch games has issued a sequel, Burrito Bison Revenge.  The original game was perfect, so I couldn't imagine how another iteration of the game could possibly be better.  Well, more power-ups, longer levels, a Survival Mode, and in-game achievements all brought together to make Burrito Bison Revenge an excellent entrant.

The game is simple enough: you launch the titular bison from a wrestling-ring turned slingshot and land on as many of your former captors as possible, liberating them from their small amounts of cash, which you - in turn - spend on being able to go further, faster, and access more power-ups.


The power-ups are extensive.  From increasing your initial power to adding new and unusual gummies for you to stomp on and drive cars, fly propeller hats, and ride rockets.  It's just the thing to make a highly addictive - and fun! - flash launch game.


The in-game achievements give you rewards for successfully doing either the routine (go this far) or the unusual (stomp this many gummies in a certain way).  Unfortunately, if I had to criticize one part of this game, the achievements would be it.  It's not that they are bad, but you only get to access 3 of them at a time, and with 120 total, it's no surprise that you might see a new achievement that you've already completed six or seven times.

But all in all, this game is great.  Give it a spin if you're up for something different.
