I'm sure that many gamers have a dream game that they wish to create. Even though I probably never will get around to making these, I shall share my top ten ideas for games that I wish I could make.

(Dang that's a long title for a game.) The series of dark reviews continue as I delve into Super Smash Bros.: Sony Edition. Is this game just as good (or perhaps superior) or is it just a shameless cash-in that should be thrown in the garbage?
NODlike: I agree with just about every point on here. I like the game but it lacks things that would make it so much better. I will say though that throws are important because every time you connect with one, the opponent loses some of their super meter in the form of those power-up orbs. You can pick them up to add to your meter but also keep the opponent from being able to use their super. I agree the $4.99 for a character is too much and $1.99 for a character COSTUME is beyond highway robbery. Thankfully I got the first two characters when they came out for free, and I got Zeus and that other guy from Deadspace with GoWA collectors edition. The only one I would have considered actually buying would be Zeus, so just throwing that out there.
darkhyrulelord: It's not bad, but it could have been SO much better. A shame that more time wasn't placed into this game. Otherwise we could have a big hit right here.
darkhyrulelord: CHALLENGE ME! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Also, I'm disappointed in this game as well. I assume you mean the game...right?
Molmoran: It's a bit of a shame as it looks like you tried really hard to love this too.
To be honest, it was clear from the off that it wasn't going to be the best idea.
It seems like what with the PS4 coming out and all those run up ads for the announcement, Sony were really trying to harken their older days and incite nostalgia in their fans, I think that if their marketing technique had followed on towards their games more than just releasing this, it could have been successful, but with such a small roster of first party chars and then missing some of the PS1 era Sony "associated" characters like Crash Bandicoot or Abe, it didn't do them any favours.
Fun review, cheers.

bigjoe91: I'm disappointed to see this not being better than this.

Dark Eco and monsters have invaded this entire blog! Oh no! What will we ever do? Read this review of course!
MagnumMagnus: Sticker Star. I hear it sucks.
firehazard51: Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Alocide: hahah, what an awful completion bonus! I'd be pissed!
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Sticker Star. I still haven't picked it up, but I've heard a *huge* range of opinions on it.

darkhyrulelord: I got the HD collection so unfortunately it didn't.
Molmoran: I liked J&D when it came out because Crash Bandicoot went a bit rubbish.
I haven't played it in a while, but I'm sure the game came with some sort of foldout map?

With Spring (supposedly) here, I feel that it is time to bring forth a new top ten that talks about levels with the vibrant color of green!
MagnumMagnus: Will you be covering any other colors? If so, will you include shades and tints?
Hypothetically, you could have an endless number of lists going.

Cam the TriforceBoy: Fantastic list, M'Lord! And I'm totally not just saying that because green is my favorite color...*eyes dart back and forth*
supermatt64: Nice list DHL, This was a great read. Also thanks for reminding me about Bugdom. That game was the shit when I was in elementary shool. I need to play it again.
Hiatus: This is a great list. Castlevania III was so masochistically good.
Elmo 3000: I saw your comment and forgot what BK stood for so in the time it took me to scroll back up to my comment to remember then I tried to guess what it was and my Top 2 answers were 'Burger King' and 'Bonkey Kong'.
I should go replay Ruby and Sapphire when I start replaying games. Really beautiful graphics in the game, one of the most aesthetically pleasing Pokemon games I've played.

Are you ready to experience a dark review that will boggle your mind? Are you ready to experience a dark review that will boggle your mind?
Elmo 3000: I'm going to have to try this out some time, a point'n'click on the NES, sounds intriguing and the way you described it, even the bad stuff sounds... interestingly bad. Ta for introducing me to this game!
darkhyrulelord: Indeed it would. I would do it if I had the tools, but alas.
Icipall: Now there's an interesting piece of history you dug up. This would make an interesting Let's Play.

2012 was an epic year on ScrewAttack thanks to a plethora of great g1s. This is where I shall praise all of the great deeds of many great g1s of this year.
MisterBo: Wow, that's a lot of names. Everybody gets credit for something. I AM THE TWITTER G1!!!!! 2012 was a great year and everybody deserves credit.
Bygjuce: Thanks for the shout out!
I'd like to be a more active g1 and do some collabs, so hit me up anyone! Until then, I plan on dropping something every week for shits and giggles.
MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JHawk99: *COUGH* And g1 Events *COUGH*
JHawk99: I'm on here? That makes me feel all kinds of special, even if I did drop off the map for a bit... Now that I KIND OF have a hold on my social life, I'm planning multiple blogs, working on getting educated in game design, and plotting the return of g1 Events seeing as it's all died out. :/ Even with the time that's passed there's still plenty of time in 2013 and I plan to make the best of it.

g1s Darkhyrulelord and Nobleteam are here to talk about our games that are THE worst of the worst games that we have ever had the unfortunate experience of laying our eyes on. Do you dare to hear of our memories? Then delve in, brave warrior!
Bygjuce: Dinosaurs For Hire isn't the best, but it was definitely something that kids wanted when it first came out. So you can't blame the developers for giving the people what they wanted. What the people didn't want was terrible controls and ridiculous difficulty. But c'mon! It had dinosaurs with guns and leather jackets! Of course I was going to rent it!
It contributed to another ruined weekend, though...

JxL: Your troll shield is impeccable, I salute you sir.
TigerNightmare: After reading this, I watched/read the X-Play review of it again, which gave it 4/5. It's really a 3 at worst. It might be disappointing, linear, feels like most of the game is a tutorial, but their review really nails it when they say it gets really good after the first 25 hours, at least storywise. The characters grow on you (although I still hate Vanille's voice actress) and the story is pretty much the high point of the game. I also mostly liked the combat system and it does require strategy and thoughtful foresight for which paradigm sets you use. I haven't played the sequel yet, but I know that you're allowed to switch characters during battle, but then they go and add QTEs to it. One step forward, two steps back.
pre10do64: I can understand feeling that way about the Gamecube and beyond because the good titles definetly don't come as much anymore, but I like a whole bunch of games from the N64 (like the Zelda games) and most people think they were pretty good too. Sure there was some crappy games on the N64, but I really think the good outweighed the bad on it.
JxL: I like golden age Nintendo, its everything from the 64 up that I felt like I had been kicked in the gut :P

Starting off 2013 with my reviews of some recent games I've played, I start off with the sequel to the game that started the 5th generation of Pokemon. Is this game worthy of being a Champion? Or is it a shameless cash in?
darkhyrulelord: That's probably not a bad idea. This game is more like a fun diversion to keep you busy.
darkhyrulelord: Thanks retro! I wouldn't mind a battle later.
darkhyrulelord: lol
darkhyrulelord: Yes you should. Off you go! .....battle later?
darkhyrulelord: It's not absolutely necessary to play Black 1 before this but it does help in a way.

2012 was a big year for ScrewAttack. But which moments from that year outshines the most? Find out below!
darkhyrulelord: I should have mentioned it after some more thought.
darkhyrulelord: Indeed they were awesome. Thanks for reading!
PuppetMasterIX: I think Jared and Chad playing the Teletubbies on PS1 is worth mentioning as well. That game drove them to the edge of insanity due to how uncompromisingly weird it was.

9. Unlockable Boomstick skin anyone?
8. Sounds like One of those Clocktower sequels.
7. Get Morgan Freeman, and you've got yourself a deal!
6. So, basically the entire Thieves Guild questline in Skyrim?
5. Didn't Kameo try something similar to this? Sounds awesome though.
4. Epic.
3. This isn't self-indulgent in the slightest!
2. At this point, I'd even settle for this in the absence of Capcom's willingness to act on this IP. I'd even settle for an Other M-style control scheme, but it'd have to be heavily tweaked, as that game's controls did have a few bugs.
1.Sounds Ambitious.
