Blog Herding – The Best Blogs Of The Community (March 15, 2018)

Metroidvanias and Super Smash Bros.? This might be the best Blog Herding edition ever.

Community Blogs For March 8 – March 14:

Axiom Verge: Metroidvania At Its Finest
Brendon Curzio writes a short blog on what makes Axiom Verge so good. Really, you should have read Metroidvania in the title and knew right away that it's quite good. "New weapons lead to new areas, new areas lead to new discoveries, and with each new discovery secrets abound." That's really all you need to know.

The Elena Delusion
Uncharted 4's Elena is the subject of Buswaxer25's blog. The writer's take is that Elena is quite selfish, and Drake is not. Debate away in the comics.

Bloodborne: The Perspective of a Souls Beginner
Timothy Repasky is here to write about Blooborne as a complete newbie, which is pretty cool. He didn't think he would like it but fell in love. This is his story of getting sucked into the world of Bloodborne.

The Biblical Origins of Dormin and the Curse of the Horns
Uesugi-done wrote this for the Shadow of Colossus fans. This is for sure a deep dive and a fun read if you're a fan of the game and mythology.

FFVII, a Piano and Tifa's Underwear 
MATASTIG is here to write about one of the most important games ever made: Final Fantasy VII. This is a short blog, but it's significant because I did not know you could, uh, do something crude. I had played the piano, but how cool is it to discover new things in a game years later?

GMC: Saturation, Baby
StarterPack jmped all over this challenge. The fact that Space Dandy is mentioned in this blog makes it noteworthy. And from there, we're diving into the crazy game 'Pack wants to make. Basically, Space Dandy would make a nutso game that I'm all for.

What Do You Want From Super Smash Bros. Switch?
I want it all, BethesdaWare. The fact that the original developer is back is enough to make me swoon. But like always, I want as many characters, stages, and items as possible (even if we usually turn items off when getting serious), but everthing to be balanced as best as possible. This will be what finally gets me to pick up a Switch.

I hope you enjoy the blogs! Please contact me via my Game Informer page or on Twitter at @LouisGarcia12 with any blog news or playdate suggestions.
