Reviews I've written in 2005 (just in case you had absolutely no idea what I was talking about).
OutRun2
I played the crap out of this game throughout the month of January, so it wasn't surprising that I would end up writing a review of it. Overall, I thought it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. It could've done without the whole fake ending, though. And then there's the whole turnip/tulips error...... blu keeps telling me he thought I was making fun of a line from a mid review, and I keep forgetting which review it was. Ha, I'm still surprised at the high score GUTS gave me when I used this in the Beat Zig tournament.
The Getaway: Highspeed II
I haven't played this in a long time, so when I went through it again, it sucked, incredibly. So I wrote a review of it. I think the last time I actually looked at this review was when I finished it.
King of Fighters 95
Another sucky Gameboy game I felt the need to review.
Warrior of Rome
I hate this game with a passion, and I wanted to make sure that was displayed in the review I would use in the Bash/Praise contest. So, I did the insane thing and forced myself to play through this game. Ugh, it was terrible. Personally, I thought it was one of the better reviews I've written that year. The judges thought otherwise, and I ended up getting one of the lowest scores in the tournament.
Crazy Taxi 2
This was originally suppose to be submitted in March, but I was lazy and ended up submitting it in April. Not much else to say about this one.
Megaman Anniversary Collection
The first of many compilation reviews that I would end up reviewing that year. Not a bad review, but it had a few grammar errors in it.
Ninja Gaiden
Interesting story about this review: this is actually the second review I did for the game. The first one was submitted in 2004 on GameFAQs, and I HATED IT. So, in 2005, I took it down from GFs and wrote another one. The irony is that it wasn't big enough to go over the current word count for the game, so the review ended up being an exclusive for HG. It's also my highest viewed review, currently with 315 hits.
Mickey's Ultimate Challenge
One of the more interesting reviews I've decided to do. The review turned out pretty good, describing the game quite well and talking about my problems with it. It's also one of my lowest viewed reviews.
Sega Rally Championship
Another review I thought turned out good. Sadly, it's my lowest viewed Saturn game on HG, with Soviet Strike and Hyper 3-D Pinball getting more hits.
Valis III
ANOTHER review I thought turned out pretty good. Heh, I had a nice streak going there....
Pinball Hall of Fame
Eh, this one turned out okay. Now that I look back at it, the 7/10 rating was too much. The game feels more like a 6/10.
Gungriffon: Allied Strike
I thought this was a pretty standard review. Nothing terrible or great about it.
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
I enjoyed writing this one. I really didn't feel like writing in such a normal way for this game, fearing I wouldn't be able to describe the awesomeness of it really well, so I went for a bizarre technique. The game is still good, but I think I went a little bit too far giving it a 9/10 rating after playing Hitman: Contracts a few weeks later. It should've been an 8/10.
Viewpoint
I originally wrote a review for this in 2002, back when I just started reviewing. Looking back at it, the review sucked green eggs and ham (moreso than my first NG review), so I wrote another one. It bombed in a contest that I can't remember at this moment.
Metal Slug 4&5
This review turned out surprisingly well, and another one of my favorites of 2005. I used it in a recent contest, and it had a pretty decent placing (better than the onslaught of bombings I tend to go through).
Enduro Racer
Like the Qix review I used in the 2004 Alpha contest, this one sucked. Not really surprised that it bombed in the 2005 Alpha.
Happy Fun Time Bonus: this review and the other Alpha one (Qix) were the only reviews of mine that were ever rejected on GameFAQs. I wonder if my 2006 Alpha review will be rejected....
Atari Anthology
Compilation sucked. So, I wrote a review of it.
Sega Smash Pack Volume 1
Another compilation that sucked, so I wrote a review of it.
Hitman: Codename 47
I knew this game sucked, but I bought it anyways so I can review it.
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
A Castlevania review (can you tell I'm getting lazy at this point in the blog entry?).
Hitman: Contracts
And here's my last review of 2005. It's funny how I make an obvious mistake at the beginning of the year (OutRun2, writing turnips instead of tulips) and at the end (writing array instead of awry, with this review).
And I'm writing more stuff here that's suppose to be the conclusion for this this blog entry. The End.
