A new journey begins, but who will be the heroes?
6/19/13 9:59pm
bigjoe91: I'll keep it in mind if I resume the challenge. You mean more screen caps, right?
6/19/13 2:47pm
Noble Team 1: I think a bit more pics and less text would make this work out though it's just my opinion on it.

LeoSmashRoyale: Hmm...M huh? lets see...Anything Metroid, Mega Man, or Mario has a shot...Ooh! Marvel Vs. Capcom! The first one!
6/18/13 5:24pm
bigjoe91: Some great choices.
6/18/13 10:08am
Branch: My guesses for M would be Metroid Prime, Morrowind, Megaman X or Monster Hunter
6/17/13 11:11pm
gact: you are a circle
6/17/13 9:17pm
bigjoe91: Serious contender... but MY HAND!

You just can't have enough Kirby.
6/6/13 7:03am
LeoSmashRoyale: LOL i forgot about that one.
6/2/13 10:02pm
bigjoe91: The black? What the hell is The Black?

Yeah the boss rush was.... boss? I remember as a kid the 1st challenge was to beat it alone, the second was to beat it alone without the rock power-up.
6/2/13 10:01pm
bigjoe91: Hmmm... Can't say I played this one. Oh well, never stopped me from addressing the game.
6/2/13 8:42pm
CaztheGamerGuy: L... Legacy of Kain perhaps? We do need some vampires that don't sparkle in our videogames.
6/2/13 8:34pm
darkhyrulelord: My L guess shall be LA Noire.

Kirby Super Star was a lot of fun, although I liked the DS game better since it offered that and more. My favorite was the bosh rush, since it felt like the greatest challenge the game had to offer and such. I did like the Meta Knight one a lot too.

They say better late than never. Here's a late letter "J"!
5/28/13 9:50pm
bigjoe91: The first time I tried Kirby 64, I didn't like it. I have to give it another shot though, but I doubt it'll catch up to Kirby Super Star.
5/28/13 9:45pm
bigjoe91: You'd think that, but I think I'm 3-4 years too old for that.
5/28/13 9:03am
JxL: It would be a close one for me between Killer Instinct and Katamari, but I have a feeling you might be a little more "heartless" with your pick.
5/27/13 10:54pm
Ferret75: You might like Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. There's more depth to the overall exploration and the difficulty is higher. You also have limited flight and then there's the shard mechanic. Plus it has some pretty fun multiplayer mini-games.
5/26/13 4:13pm
bigjoe91: I love arcade style sports game like that. And I admit I glorified this game a bit. The camera isn't perfect, but it's a vast improvement from Mario 64.

This review is “sucking pun” free.
5/19/13 10:23am
bigjoe91: Is the True Arena the same thing as the Arena with bigger monsters and less life? If so, I'll pass...
5/19/13 12:57am
darkhyrulelord: The game may have felt easy to me for the most part, but I cha--no--COMMAND you to beat extra mode to unlock the TRUE Arena. That stuff if super tough and lots of fun. Also, the highlight for this game for me were the bosses and the music. Good review.
5/8/13 9:11pm
Jawbreaker Alumni: Well the special worlds in Mario 3D Land are just The Lost Levels, but in 3D, matter of fact, the whole game is SMB1 and Lost Levels but in 3D because of the way the levels are just broken up, that's what I think.
5/8/13 6:37pm
bigjoe91: And in the end, I'm not a completionist. I like that this is a proper hard mode compared Mario 3D land's bonus world almost being a bad fan mod
5/8/13 1:53pm
Jawbreaker Alumni: The hardest thing in the game like other Kirby games is 100% it. Beating a Kirby game is easy, completing it is another thing. In Ex mode, the enemies are harder to kill, when you get hit you lose more health, and the bosses have different patterns, dare I say, you can even die to Whispy Woods in Ex mode!

On your left, a field of letter "I" games... Oh and don't worry, I'm not giving up on the series.
5/11/13 3:13pm
bigjoe91: Thanks for the comments. I do have the original trilogy of Jak games.
5/11/13 1:49pm
darkhyrulelord: Still a lot of good I games up there. And no, you don't have to play Ico before Shadow of the Colossus, but you should try to play Ico if you have the chance. Not a must play though. And for Infamous, the game doesn't really change THAT much if you are evil or good. A little, but not much. Still fun though.

As for J, I say the Jak and Daxter HD Collection, or in particular, Jak 2.
5/7/13 8:07pm
bigjoe91: Yeah... Kinda doesn't cut it, unfortunately.
5/6/13 10:05pm
JxL: It's not the destination, its the ________. Oh wait, you don't have a PS3 so...hmmm...DQ VIII starts with a J....kinda....
5/6/13 7:48pm
bigjoe91: I'll check it out. I'm really more of a mainstream gamer, which is why I had trouble with I

I call the game safe at one point. I complain about the absence of feet. If I were you, I'd go to the comments section and start hating.
5/2/13 9:52pm
bigjoe91: Thanks! As for Lunatic+, if you're new to the series, I strongly recommend that you do a couple of battles in normal just to understand most of the gameplay mechanics. Lunatic+'s difficulty reaches (from what I could experience) the point where there is only a single option available for you to succeed and it comes down to a guessing game. Can't say for Lunatic, but in hard mode, with a solid strategy, you can win. It feels more rewarding and less tedious.
5/2/13 7:26pm
darkhyrulelord: Where did them feet go?? Also, awesome review Bigjoe! I'll probably ask for this one on Xmas or something since all I hear is mostly good stuff regarding this game. Although...is it possible to beat Lunatic + mode on your first run? I might give it a try since I'm a little insane.
4/26/13 3:36pm
bigjoe91: Then they have pretty freakin' skinny shins...
4/26/13 3:31pm
Bygjuce: I know where their feet are. It's obvious that they're all wearing high heels!
4/22/13 11:47pm
bigjoe91: "I never had that problem, I just took whichever two characters I thought looked cute together and made them marry."

I usually did that, checked their C support and if I liked where this was going, I continued.

"Not gonna lie, I've been playing on Hard Mode for my current 3 playthroughs. Now that I've tortured myself through the brutal Rogues and Redeemers part 3 DLC to get a shiny new skill, I think I might try Lunatic."

Yeah, I read somewhere that the DLCs were pretty much the only way to go if you wanted to beat Lunatic... Sad, really.

"You can marry her you know. Plus, she's only horny when around Chrom,"

I played as a female avatar first, so she was useless. Although she did try to cream my face... But, even though she's horny around Chrom, she still can't support him.

"And I feel the game perfectly understands its fanbase and their love for, "micro-management, the strategic choices, the grinding, the incentives for completion." and expanded upon it well. They included Lunatic mode after all."

True. I did mean, more levels of weapons, higher level caps maybe a bit more difference in the magic system, some AI customization in the optimize command, etc. I don't know, maybe I'm just asking for innovation for the sake of innovation... I guess I could've used even more stuff than it already had. Pretty good sign that I liked it, isn't it.

I'd say they managed to reek in some new fans, but I'm going to give the credit to Ike's success in Brawl, the fact that it's a handheld title and that people are just starting to know of the franchise. My guess is that they're still sRPG fans for the most part. Not too many occasional RPG fans will manage through this whole game.

Phew... Thanks!

A game that polarized the gaming community? For my letter H, I talk about Halo.
4/23/13 9:25pm
bigjoe91: I wish I could have Ikaruga... *sigh* You have no idea how much I want that game. And Halo one is combat evolved. It started as a playing with friend and ended up buying the console. Like I said, for the first time, a console was marketed as a teenager console, which is probably what spoke to me.
4/23/13 9:21pm
bigjoe91: Thanks, I really appreciate the comment!
4/23/13 9:21pm
bigjoe91: Indeed. Many good times were had. I loved sticking with grenades/needles... Although I did love Halo 2's dual wield also.
4/23/13 10:40am
BigK0003: Halo should take it. Halo 1 is still my favorite FPS. It has one of the best single/multiplayer campaign, and has one of the better story lines when it comes to the genre. I still don't get the satisfaction from first person shooters today, as i did from nailing someone across the map with a sticky grenade and yellin out "STUCK EM!" lolol good times indeed. :D
4/23/13 10:32am
BigK0003: Halo combat evolved is Halo 1 dude... lol

It's time for 16-bit jumping and shooting, it's time to go Maverick!
5/10/13 8:03pm
bigjoe91: (which is why I don't understand why the single dash is an upgrade...)
5/10/13 6:39pm
Bygjuce: No doubt one of the greatest games ever. I love the X series. Dashing and then jumping at just the right moment before the dash is over in order to get maximum distance is the greatest thing you can do in gaming. More people should copy it.
5/10/13 3:07pm
MagnumMagnus: Best. Game. Ever.
4/15/13 2:16pm
gaurdianaq: Probably because Boomer Stag Beetle didn't sound as cool :P
4/14/13 5:20pm
LBD_Nytetrayn: What can I say? Japan loves their puns.

That, and maybe they thought "Boomerang Stag Beetle" didn't flow as well from "Boomer Kuwanger" as "Chill Penguin" did from "Icy Penguigo." among others.
