This is the first time I've heard about this review a bad game deal---and it's 9:30 PM. Dare I write a bad half-assed review to go with a half-assed bad game?

It's my first time hearing about it, too. And I can't rightly call any of the Mega Man's BAD games. Other than that, I'm just about to start Ghostbusters on PS3 and I'm thinking about downloading The Dig. So I got nothing.
Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

Nice work, Rob. This game is brutal in every sense of the word. Check out Retro's review of it. It seems to me that he's so angry at the game he comes off brilliantly sarcastic:

If it wasn't for Ghosts 'n Goblins being painstakingly difficult, it would've been an alright game. There are an overbearing number of enemies, and a few of the enemies such as the red dragons, are almost impossible to dodge no matter how great your timing is. The only easy thing to do in Ghosts 'n Goblins is to die. To die, all you have to do is fall in the water or off the side of a cliff. Or, if you decide to do it the hard way, you can get hit once and be in your yucky underwear and then get hit again and instantly turn into a skeleton. If you're real frustrated, you could try getting hit right beside the water or a cliff and attempt to make it where your skeleton will fall into the water or a hole after you get killed. You could call that a double whammy.

Wish I'd seen your post earlier. Guessing it's too late now, but if I still can, I might.

That is a great paragraph by Retro. Ghosts and Goblins is the sort of game that can make a person feel true hate. But not in the worst way, because I do still have the urge to mess with the next-gen Ghouls and Ghosts and Super Ghouls and Ghosts games just for the hell of it.
I'm not afraid to die because I am invincible
Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle
