About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma. |

[Don't blame me for this post. I was at a conference all week and am all out of whack. It probably doesn't make sense, but who cares?]
Chrono Trigger holds a very deep and special place in my heart. It sparked something within me, changing my life. I can still remember the first time I played it, all those years ago. Seeing all those scenes, playing this legendary game, I felt something new, something deep. And it can pretty much be summed up as...
What the bleep do people see in this stupid game?!?
Battalion Wars (GC)
Yes, you saw that right. Two months in a row with reviews. It's like I'm on a roll or something. Will May continue the trend? Enh, probably not...
Anywho, I think this game ended up affecting me a bit more than I thought it would. I figured it would be a nice easy short review. And then I started writing it, and now it's 10kb. I really got to start thinking to myself that I'm gonna keep it short. It never happens.
Maybe I'll write a review for MM Anniversary Collection next, since I've been on a bit of a Mega Man kick lately. And I'm sure I'll be able to keep that one short!
I suppose I should write a review about this game, but I'm lazy. So I'll just write here instead.
This game is horribly, horribly overrated. I'll have to replay MM4 and 5 again just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure this game ranks in the bottom half of the NES MM games. Yes, I said it.
The only thing it has going for it are the bosses. The eight robot masters here are probably the best group of any of the games. Their design, their skillsets, their variety, just all shades of awesome. But then there's the rest of the game.
Twilight Princess Review
It's about bloody time I wrote a new review. And only 3500 words, no less. And all without mentioning Midna, the wolf mechanics, or virtually nothing on the graphics, sound, and storyline. Why bother with the standard stuff when you can focus on irrelevent things? Wee!
I beat Batallion Wars today. Decent game. It's nothing spectacular, and certainly nothing that's worth $50 (heck, or even $20). It definitely has its problems. But I still enjoyed it for what it was. Pretty fun all around, even though I have little desire to go back and unlock the last two bonus missions. In any case, it was worth the $0 I payed for it. And it was worth my time. Here's hoping Kuju saw the problems with it and are fixing it for BWii. And no, I'm not talking about multiplayer. I want better AI, more incentive to actually command rather than doing everything yourself, and a better way to order your soldiers around. Actually, the Wii might be very helpful for that last part.
I finally started to write my first review in several months. Yes, it's for Twilight Princess. No, I have no clue when it'll be done. No, I have no clue how long it will be (I'm leaning somewhere in between absurdly long and ridiculously long). No, I have no clue how good the review will be either. Obviously I'd like it to be more than a stream of random impressions of random parts of the game, but putting it all together in a theme will be tough. After all, the theme is "half OoT, half WW". How do you write that?
Hopefully it'll get me back in the reviewing spirit though. I still need to write my Castlevania SotN review. And then maybe my CV: Harmony of Dissonance review. And several others I could do...
