Metroid: Other M - A Quick Look

Behold the most generic title screen ever! Actually, everything about this game screams "generic".

Played this via Dolphin, and the emulator didn't let me get very far. I decided I'd post what little I got like I did with 50 Cent: Bulletproof and Alien 3, even though a Metroid game deserves better than a half-baked "first five minutes of the game" post. Thing is, this is the worst Metroid game. As a huge Metroid fan who felt super let-down by this game, even the first five minutes give me a massive amount to talk about. Everything I hate about this game shows up in some form in the first five minutes...well, almost.

Wrestling Games

Today I'm going to do something that I haven't done since I took a look at Love Hina games: An ensemble post where I look at a number of different games. Originally it was going to be a post looking at one game in-depth, until I realized I can't actually beat any of these games. Let's have a look.

Suikogaiden: Vol. 2 - Duel at Crystal Valley (Playstation, 2000)

A little over a year ago, I covered Suikogaiden Vol. 1. Just seemed like a good time to check out the sequel. So far so good, this is one of the nicest title screens I've seen in a long time.

The Best of Final Fantasy

 

Today I'm going to look at what I consider the best of Final Fantasy. Complete with pictures and videos and everything. It's going to be sa-weet. Since I haven't played the online XI and XIV (yet), this will only include the main series games from one to thirteen. No spinoffs or -2's, either. Let's get to it.

Highlander: The Series 2x13 - Bless the Child

What's got Charlie so spooked? This episode, that's what.

Highlander: The Series 2x12 - Under Color of Authority

On this July 4th, we celebrate AMERICA... with a Richie episode. Richie bleeds red white and blue! This episode features him in a super-prominent role for a change, as he must battle another immortal. For AMERICA!

Ultima: Quest of the Avatar (NES, 1990)

The best Ultima game on the NES... or any console, really. While it's an adaptation of Ultima IV, It's completely different than the PC version, much like Exodus. Unlike Exodus, this game is infinitely more playable. Let's get on with it.

Highlander: The Series 2x11 - The Fighter

The recent flurry of Duncan Macleod posts is continuing for a couple more days, as I want to get to a very non-special episode called "Bless the Child". But first, here's yet another episode where Duncan must deal with a troubled old friend. I'd hate to be friends with this guy, seriously.

This is the boxing episode. Because there had to be a boxing episode somewhere. Fun Fact: This episode got Highlander temporarily called "the most violent show on TV" because the idiots who keep track of these things count it by punches thrown and only watched this one episode.

Highlander: The Series 2x10 - Epitaph for Tommy

This is a pretty bad episode, but it features RODDY PIPER~!

Highlander: The Series 2x09 - Run For Your Life

Finally, another good episode. It's been a few. While the last one was very Walker: Texas Ranger, this one has a super Quantum Leap-y vibe... which can only be a good thing.

Highlander: The Series 2x08 - Revenge of the Sword

Note: No swords actually get revenge in this episode. Still, this episode contains LIU KANG.

Highlander: The Series 2x07 - The Return of Amanda

It's the return of Duncan's favorite friend-with-benefits!

Highlander: The Series 2x06 - The Zone

Time for one of the worst episodes of this show. It isn't as bad as Season One's low points, but it really isn't good. In this one, Duncan must deal with the bad side of Seacouver, The Zone. Nobody goes into The Zone. In other words, going into The Zone is a lot like putting Baby in a corner.

Highlander: The Series 2x05 - Eye for an Eye

Time for Richie to get an Immortal Training Montage in what is otherwise one of the worst episodes in the series!

Highlander: The Series 2x04 - The Darkness

Time for THE SADDEST HIGHLANDER THING EVER.

Highlander: The Series 2x03 - Turnabout

Quick Highlander episode review. This is kind of a sad episode, but nothing compared to the next one.

Kirby Super Star Finale - The Great Cave... That Some May Find Offensive

 Just how offensive are we talking?

Kirby Super Star #2 - King of Swing

There's a lot more of this game to cover. Simply put, it's HUGE. Previously, Kirby defeated the mighty Dynablade. Now, he'll need to contend with the debut of Meta-Knight, who would later become his arch-nemesis over the years. 1996 sure was a good year for the Super NES.

Kirby Super Star (Super NES, 1996)

Kirby's Dream Land 3, I respect you and I'mma let you finish, but it's time for the best Kirby game of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (Game Boy Advance, 2004)

If you think about it, Kirby is a huge communist. He takes all of King Dedede's food and redistributes it to he people of Dreamland. He's a pinko commie!
