This is a surprisingly fun tech showcase. It takes you through the utilization of the PS5 Controller and some amazing graphics and colorization.
I was a Black ops kid. It was my second CoD game behind Cod: World at War and this felt like a nice addition to the Black Ops Series. Granted, this may be the nostalgia kicking in as I haven't touched a Call of Duty game since Call of Duty WW2. I love the Nuketown 24/7, Prop Hunt and Kill Confirmed the most. I use more primary weapons than I did in BO1 and B02 and I'm having fun experimenting with them.

A forgotten legend party because it came at the end of the N64 lifecycle, but a masterpiece nevertheless. I loved the new amount of items one could hold and the rare items you can get. Some of these maps are good but broken in a fun way like Waluigi's Island and Spiny Desert. The battle minigames games are great in their own right compared to Mario Party 2's battle minigames. Plus the Soundtrack is wonderful Midi Music.

A great party game that will never go stale. Fun playing against computers and friends.

Have had this game since I was a kid and I still can't get into it. I get bored after the first star.
My first time playing a Warhammer game ever and this game is wayyyy more exciting with friends to play. The combat, customization and character abilities were spectacular and exceeded my expectations.
How can the greatest superhero have the worst superhero game of all time?
The best way I can explain how bad this game is:
Superman Sonic

Rings

You ever see those pictures of knockoff/bootleg copies of merchandise and how they are not the same whatsoever? Picture that with this game (PS3).
I paid $60 for the ps3 version that did not include the campaign and the zombies weren't my style. It was a newish creative idea but I struggled liking and playing zombies in that game.

A sequel to BO1, this game was a wonderful addition to the Black Ops Series. The Campaign was alright but I personally was always more invested in the zombies and multiplayer. I was the guy always rocking ballistic knives and a riot shield. As for the zombies, I just loved Origins and Buried. It feels more like a sandbox type of zombies playstyle with the customization and money system in these maps. Nuketown was a chaotic mess that I wish I could survive longer to enjoy the map but Juggernog never spawns when you want it to. Great Memories.
Nostalgia talks almost as much as Mason's interrogators. This game in my opinion didn't have any dark spots. I liked the whole CIA cold war interventions in the campaigns. I loved the Zombies and the Multiplayer Games. I loved the Maps whether it was Ascension, Kino Der Toten, Radiation, Nuketown, Zoo, Firing Range. Tons of great memories are birthed from this game and its multiplayer.

It's alright. I was hoping for more being that this is the first big new mainline Pokemon Game that was on a home console. I loved the design of some of these cities but eh, it felt too easy and too predictable.
Yep, we're back at where it started on the newest platform (to date). Gen 1 is back to showcase Pokemon on the Nintendo Switch and its.....good.
Take it as you may, but this game always felt like a good marketing tactic to get a new generation of Pokemon fans while also trying to bring back the original fans who just so happened owned a switch/played pokemon go.
In this game, you basically are starting the same way Pokemon Yellow started with the player receiving a pikachu. In return, the overpowered pikachu is always by your side ready to be cared for and battle for you.
It get 3.5 stars for two reasons. First, there's only so much you can do with limiting the pokemon to one generation. However, I think Nintendo made it work by allowing the Aloha Forms of the Gen 1 Pokemon as well as some Mega Evolutions (and meltan, the forgotten and weird additional to the game that can only be accessed via a Pokemon Go Transfer). The design of the characters and pokemon are cute but it;s just more of the same. Not great but not bad either.
Next, this game had an annoying mechanic where you needed a certain type in your party to get into the gym. A minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things but it's a bizarre inserted mechanic.
I truly believe the best type of player for this game would be a kid who's first experience was Pokemon Go and had not played any pokemon games yet. It's a nice appetizer to hold over newcomers to the series. As for me, a fan who has known the series for decades and have played multiple games from it, its just a good game.

I got this long after the remakes were released. I had grown out of pokemon by the end of SoulSilver and only came back into Pokemon in the summer of 2018. I got this game with a 2DS to go with it at a local game shop. I was interested to see how this remake would fare with the previous remakes of SoulSilver & FireRed/LeafGreen (I played both versions) and......it didn't.
While this game introduced to me to a whole new style of presentation, this game was too easy for me to enjoy it. It was very odd seeing Latios getting gifted to me after the fourth gym in this game. The flyover effect in the game is cool but its only cool for so long. Once I had that Latios in my possession, I just felt like the game wasn't any struggle afterwards. The only difficult battles I had were the ones online against other people. Also I am indifferent about Mega Evolutions. They are cool and all but it just seems like a way to rehash old pokemon into relevancy once again.
Its a good game but that's all it will ever be to me.

(See my thoughts on Pokemon Sapphire for most of my 3rd gen opinions)
In regards for Emerald, having the rival factions duel with each other to the point of worldly destruction was pretty cool. The Battle Frontier in this game was an awesome little tidbit in the game. Lastly, Rayquaza, the coolest looking Dragon type since Charizard/Dragonite becomes a vital part of the game and displays the mighty energy that it possesses. Also did I mention the trumpets in the soundtracks?

Pokemon was in a weird state in the third generation. The kids that grew up with the games were either tired of the trend or moved on. I happened to be a young kid at the time of the release of Ruby/Sapphire so I was not in this group.
Overall, I think its good and better than gen 1 games but I feel like this game has a lot of forgetful pokemon like Gulpin, Swalot, Spoink, Azurill, Spheal, Spinda, Castform, Luvdisc, Clamperl, Huntail and Gorebyss.
Play Emerald instead for the best Gen 3 Experience
