Judging by the hits rape reviews tend to get, I'd say that's a fair assumption.

IF YOU WANT MORE BEATS FOR YOUR BUCK THERE'S NO LUCK.

I said I wouldn't, but after seeing the only letter left, I'll backtrack and take U. It has possibilities, and it's worth a shot to make up the numbers

The penalty is a neat idea, too.

And so the Quest begins.

Age is a condition not a state of mind.

I've reviewed more games this year starting with B than any other letter. I've got some ideas, but if anyone wants to offer suggestions, now's your chance.

Batman Forever

[Eating EmP's brain] probably isn't a good idea. I mean... He's British, which means his brain's wired for PAL and your eyes are NTSC. - Will

Blood Gear

Battle Monsters, the best Sega Saturn game ever.

Interesting...I could finally get around to playing Kingdom Hearts. Or not.

Beetlejuice, the LJN classic for the NES that is based on the classic Michael Keaton movie!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Pickhut and Genj, find me a good Saturn/Turbo CD emulator and I might try those. WQ, thanks for not being a smartass.

Hahaha. You're welcome! =D

I was hoping you'd at least get the idea to review Arkham Asylum from that, though. Oh well. =P

I actually did, but I don't know if that game is fresh enough on my mind for reviewing. Maybe it is...

You should review Banjo-Kazooie.

I was being a smartass, Suskie. :0

On a more serious note, what about Beautiful Katamari? There's not a review on the site and I've heard a lot of polarizing views on the game.

I head spaceshit noises.

A Banjo Kazooie review would be sweet. Didn't you really like the game, Mike?

I don't have to boost my review resume because I have a real resume.

Banjo-Kazooie is one of my all-time favorite games, and I'd considered that, but I really don't know if there's an interesting angle to be had concerning a game about jumping around collecting spinny gold things. I may take it up as a challenge, though...

Actually, I'd been meaning to check out the Xbox HD remastering, so maybe this is the push I needed.

Edit: If I review Banjo-Kazooie, OD needs to review Kameo: Elements of Power. Let's get a Rarefest going here.

Loser has to play and review Grabbed by the Ghoulies for Emp's challange.

Suskie...if you want that, I'm game, as long as Kameo isn't some wackily-expensive game. Just let me know in time to order it, receive it (and I won't be being wacky-n-shit and paying a shitload of shipping to get this game quickly --- standard mail for me) and get it reviewed by the deadline.

It's actually an Xbox 360 game, but I've seen used copies for under ten bucks.

"Let's get a Rarefest going here."

Well, I was thinking about doing Wizards and Warriors...

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Yeah, I actually looked up the game and saw that it's a 360 one (couldn't remember if it was early-360 or early PS2), so I figured I'd easily be able to get it. I'm game if you are. Just let me know in the near future. I have no intentions of buying it, dropping my current projects and obsessing through it just for the fun of it...my backlog of games I want to finish in the reasonably near future is FUCKING HUGE!!! And if you're unsure about if you want to review Banjo for this contest, I don't want you to feel pressured to make a split-second decision that could wind up sucking the fun of the contest away. I mean, personally...I don't really think I feel like playing through the majority of Kingdom Hearts and I really hadn't thought of another K game off the top of my head, so I'm definitely down with the idea, but you make the call.

Joe: That'd be awesome. That's a game I used to love, find blah except for the music now, but constantly can find things to talk about concerning it. If I was a judge, I'd give you an auto-90 (with 100 being your score if you either convinced me to play it again immediately OR made me think "yep, I was right about this game 100 percent...I rule!").

OD: I'm in the same boat as you, actually. Loved it as a kid, can't stand it now. I played through it again over the last couple of days and discovered how truly dreadful it is.

My current plan: I have four games I have in mind. I'm going to write review for all four and focus on the one that feels like it's shaping out the best. So far, Wizards and Warriors is the winner.

Dude, when I said "Rarefest," I meant like, hey, we're both reviewing Rare games! Look at that!

You are taking this way too seriously.

Sho, Zig, I love you both.
