Agh, I can't find a straight answer on the Internet for the proper way to write the game's full name... |

Always nice to get feedback from you, Joe. Thanks a lot! This review definitely is longer than is standard for me, but I'm glad my approach as a massive admirer of 2033 seems to have paid off. Kudos to Holdthephone and AlphaNerd. |

Thanks for doing this quickly, and congrats to those who placed. The Zeno Clash II and Metro: Last Light reviews have both been updated to "Featured." |

Sorry to keep this short. I intend to go to bed early tonight, so I'd like to get this out (hell, I'm not even going to proofread it). I do want to say that my Zeno Clash II review hasn't been upgraded to featured yet. |

RE: Metal Man -- I did make an early go at it, but that was a fail. Think I made it to him on my last life, which gave me no real time to learn/re-remember how he fights, so I died pretty quickly. One of those things about playing these games -- if you're not used to them, you will struggle with their variety of intensive platforming challenges, whether it be the conveyor belts, disappearing blocks, slippery floor levels, underwater/in space weird gravity and so on. And my go at MM's stage was among the first things I did. |

it says quite a bit about the metal blades when you fight metal man again with them he is taken out in one hit. |

I believe I started with Metal Man, which made Mega Man 2 a lot more manageable, because Metal Blades. Also, I don't know why you wouldn't go get those blades first. They are maybe the most fun weapon in the whole series. Spend as much time with them as you can. |

I don't know that I've ever done anything but start with Flash Man, since he's so easy to beat with just the arm cannon. Bubble Man goes down without putting up much of a fight, as well. I usually save Heat Man and Quick Man for last, because their weapons aren't all that useful. Metal Man I'll tackle third or fourth, usually. I do agree that his blades are wicked cool, though! |

My strategy in mega man 2 is to always start with metal man, his metal blades almost break the game because they are so powerful. I know you have issues with that, but my cardinal rule is to leave quick man and heat man to the very last, that disappearing block bit in Heat man's stage require's item-2 and quick man's stage is just a nightmare at the best of times. |

Thanks for the mention + constructive criticism. I'm trying to improve on my writing skills using these reviews. I don't know if I'm improving all that much but I'll try to keep going and improving as best I can. |

Over recent times, I've bought for the PS2 both the Mega Man Anniversary Collection (1-6 NES, 7 SNES, 8 PS1) and Mega Man X Collection (1-3 SNES, 4-6 PS1), as well as the PS2 RPG Mega Man X Command Mission. |

So, firstly, Matthew Jay's Deadly Premonition review, while certainly thorough (it's over 1800 words, for christ's sake), seemed very ranty and unedited for a staff review. "No one likes QTEs." I mean, really? This piece just left me in a bad mood, which is why I'm being a wee bit more critical this week. But hopefully I say something useful. |

Unless I can find five or six capable and generous people who are willing to dependably contribute 3 or 4 reviews apiece for hot new releases every month at the rates I'm able to offer for that volume--and so far, I haven't even come close--we're unlikely to ever see GameRankings link to us again. |

How many times does this have to fail before it's seen as the massive waste of time and effort it truely is. |

Yeah, the goal here would be to add value to our own reviews, not subtract for it by presenting them as second rate. This would ensure that nearly every page someone might find on the site (by following a link from Twitter or a search engine or whatever) will have valuable content that justifies the click. As people feel more confident whenever they click an HonestGamers link--because they know they'll find something of value on pretty much any page--they'll find themselves exposed to more and more of our content and maybe some of them will even feel more inclined to contribute new user reviews here to boot. |

Sounds good to me, as long as there's no situation where a person would have to wade through external links to get to our actual reviews. Which it doesn't sound like, from this post. |

Okay, I'll try to keep this brief (and everyone rolls their eyes)... |
