@big surprise: MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!! lol

I dropped $20 on a new Npoints card and picked up Alt-Play, Cave Story (bc I had no clue it was out on DSiWare already), and Mighty Flip Champs bc WayForward has made awesome stuff. I’ve paid for other Rohrer games (SiD), and have CaveStory on the Wii… but I love those dev’s and their [...]

Just started this game last night. Fun times, but I’d kill for a wall or double jump.

I really wish the DSiWare service could use the extra WiiPoints I have to download the Alt-Play:JRA stuff… hopefully Nintendo fixes with the 3DS.

To dodge in FPS view all you have to do is point the wiimote off screen before getting hit. I haven’t had a problem with that way of dodging, but I have a newer remote and keep the batteries charged. Maybe older/abused remotes or ones with low batteries have issues with that. I dunno.

I can understand how the gameplay could irritate some gamers, but for me it helps add to the experience of playing as Samus. You point when she does, you hold the wimote up to charge as she holds her arm up. It creates a cool experience that I enjoyed a lot. As for the auto-aim [...]

My issue with the $10 price hike for XBL is that what I get for that money is the same as what I get for free on PSN. And when I pay Sony for a Plus membership, they give me free shit each week… yes, you have to stay a member to keep the content, [...]

I never got into the first game, despite having tried a few times. That definitely leaves me a bit skeptical to press okay on a $5 prequel to a game I’m pretty sure I don’t want. A regular demo, however, I’d definitely have tried out. Then again if it sucked as bad as Lost Planet [...]

Replaying NSMB Wii with my brother, rocking some L4D2 with friends, and working on Other M (which kicks ass, despite what Shawn might be telling people). Oh and I’m still playing Picross 3D and MGS:PW from time to time.

I totally loved the game, but all your qualms with it are definitely there and are definitely annoying. My biggest issue, though, was just the lack of online coop. If it had that, I’d have played it at least 3x as much as I already have. And it woulda been at least 3x as fun.

What I don’t get is how this didn’t happen sooner, and why it didn’t come out with their newly sexified Slim360 model. Also… why not just make this a standard thing?! Then everyone has the option of how they want to use their Dpad and you don’t confuse consumers with various levels of decent to [...]

Nice job on the recap, Kevin. Glad to see it will live on.

I’m still around. Life has just been far to hectic to be able to commit myself to the site like I’d like to. You’ll still see me in the blogs and forums though.

Nice review.

This sounds like a great portable-ized version of P3. I never got around to playing it on PS2 for more than a few hours so I think this would be perfect.

Shit… guess I need to turn on the 360 for long enough to buy and play this.

This is the kind of review I’ve been waiting for. Thanks for the fantastic and brutally honest review.

For $50 I’ve got a Move controller and can use my Eye that I’ve had forever. Spending another $100 and needing a dedicated AC plug for it to run doesn’t sound appealing at all… especially considering the super casual/family direction they’re taking with it.

Nice… I need to get some time to play this thing, asap.
