On the same day as my contest round ended, I finished Paper Mario (if you can call it that). I beat the game (the final boss), and as I was watching the ending cutscene, the electricity in the neighborhood cut off. No, really. Seriously. Anyways, I beat the game, and some day I’ll go back and beat the last boss again and tackle the pit of 100 trials. Here’s the review.

To start out this review, I just need to say that Freedom Fighters is the best GameCube game I own, and definitely the best shooter I have ever played. The premise of the game is that the Soviet Union actually won the Cold war, and in 2003, they launched a major invasion of the United States. your job as Chris Stone, the “Freedom Phantom” is to retake New York City for the US and repel the enemy invasion forces.

In a need for an action RPG, I picked up this game after hearing some very positive comments from a friend about XML2. I just recently played through the game, and here are my thoughts on it.

Well, a while back, I received this game as a Christmas present from my brother. I immediately picked up the game and played through arcade mode with all the characters, and even ventured into the Weapons Master mode and beat it 100% (all levels, maximum character level and all weapons (but not all costumes and extras)) with my favorite character, Link.
Just recently, I picked the game back up for the VGWB, only to realize something horrible: I suck at SC2. I’m not talking slightly bad, but able to beat the game bad. No, I mean suck. I can’t do the moves, I can’t dodge, and I can’t even beat the first few levels on Weapons Master mode. What the heck happened?
I’m not really sure, but I can tell you this: I’m great at RPGs and FPSs, but I really suck at fighters. I’ve played Tekken with some of the greatest players in this country, and I was beaten by them. So, sadly, I have come to the realization that maybe fighters aren’t for me. Thus, I’m putting SC2 to one side, and instead moving on to Skies of Arcadia: Legends. Call me a cheat if you want, but it’s just too hard for me.

Yeah, roughly four days after beating Zelda I beat Ultimate Spider Man. I’ve just been putting off writing a review. USM takes the tried and true formula from Spider Man 2 and takes it to the comic world. The game plays just like a comic would read, and even ends just as fast. Read on to find out how good the game really is. (more…)

So maybe I exaggerated a little when I said I-Ninja was one of the greatest games of all time. It’s one of the best Platforming games in long time, definitely the best I’ve played on the GC. Enjoy the review.
