Re: TOP 16 — Poll 8 of 8
Not a super-easy vote for me even though I personally prefer one of these games over the other a great deal. I'm not shackled to my own personal preferences when evaluating a game's quality. Mega Man 2 is probably tied with MMX for my favourite game in the series, with MM9 very very close behind, bu...

Re: TOP 16 — Poll 4 of 8
There are two Metrovania classics left in this top 16, and Symphony of the Night isn't even the best one. SotN is a good early action-exploring-RPG and a fun world to moonwalk around in, but Dark Souls feels like such a leap forward in action RPG combat and mechanics that it truly is one of the grea...

Re: TOP 16 — Poll 5 of 8
Celeste is indeed a good platformer, but for all its snappy handling, it's oddly bogged down by certain set-pieces (for example, the "boss" sequence of the haunted house goes on about 50% longer than it needs to make its point). I don't put it on the same level as more consistent, better-...

Re: TOP 16 — Poll 6 of 8
Guacamelee has a silly title and silly style, which I think undermines the fact that it's easily one of the best Metrovania games (with tight combat/mechanics, great platforming, and excellent boss fights)—certainly the best one remaining in this top 16 (and yes, I know, Symphony of the Night is up ...

Re: What are you playing right now?
When my daughter asked for the cartridge back, I switched over to the Unicorn Overlord demo. Some of the character designs are kind of gross, which is a shame because many of them are great and the story's been fun so far. Compared to Ogre Battle it feels a little too simple (counters are more obvi...

Re: BOTTOM 112 — Week 2 — Poll 10
I even gave reasons and everything! 1. "It's more of this series" — I don't find DKC series gameplay compelling. The characters are annoying. Movement is clunky and sometimes unintuitive, not "tight". 2. "less fresh" — Early graphical style is gimmicky and they more or ...

Re: BOTTOM 112 — Week 2 — Poll 10
Ooh, a console wars clash of introductions to two now-classic series: one series of mostly good games, and one series where the original DKC is the only good entry. :D Most people say DKC2 is the best entry, what didn't you like about it? It's more of this series, less fresh, less focused, has Dixi...

Re: BOTTOM 112 — Week 2 — Poll 23
Oh great, the other Shadowrun is also up against a great game that I love. At least this poll had the good graces to match the two Genesis games together. This is an easier vote than I thought - although Shadowrun Genesis has kind of an open-worldness to it (randomly generated quests), there's not ...
