A lame, shitty tower defense game for cheap. Just play Bloons Tower Defense 6
2009
I have to get the boys over to play this. This is a small gimic game to laugh at, but you won't get much mileage from it. Still, though, if it's cheap on the 3DS shop or you bought it from the DSI, then it might be a fun game for shits and giggles. Oh, but both online stores are shut down....and Idk if there are rooms available online. Oops.
It's not a good introduction to this series. This is the lamest shovelware shit I have seen. I mean, the DSi shop was pretty shit because it didn't have the option to...buy ds games. No, you bought worse versions of mobile games or just shit indie games. AND THIS GAME IS WORSE THAN THOSE.
My friends and I in high school always had an 'arc' where we would stick to playing one online game after school. This was THE BEST arc. Yeah, the controls are clunky, and some of the maps are unbalanced, and the less I say about the umbrella item, the better. But damnit....this was a solid entry into the Worms franchise—weapons required much more skill in aiming and trajectory than in the 2D games. Teams can strategize placements before the flood comes at the end of the time. Terrain destruction was key in strategy. The graphics and music are, though; I can't remember a single song from this game. If you ever wanted an old game to dick around with friends, choose this one for its silliness and cheapness.

This was a fun game to come back to. Luigi's Mansion was a launch title instead of a main Mario game. I understand how some people couldn't get into this, but please do so! The controls feel stiff at times, but it doesn't take too long to master it. The boss ghosts are great at fighting and figuring out their weakness. Moreover, if you are better at sucking up ghosts, you can get more money from the boss ghosts.
The Boos are probably the weakest part of the game. Once you can capture all 50 ghosts, you can go to lit-up areas to catch them. The annoying thing is that if you barely get any damage on it, it will escape to another room, sometimes even a room you haven't cleared yet. I was lucky enough to finish my hunt in the endgame with weaker Boos, but you could be roaming the halls for the last one if you aren't careful.
The main bosses are a great challenge, too. Big Baby is a good warmup, while The Specter was an excellent next step in that challenge. I did not like the 20 Boo boss because it was tedious to freeze each Boo. The final boss, King Boo, was a great challenge. Pro tip, when you suck up King Boo, get your Poltergust 3000 ready when he flies out, then walk in circles while sucking to avoid Bowser's ice attacks.
For my final rank, I got a C Rank with 67,735,000G. Even with the golden crystal I got from getting all 50 Boos, I did not get an A or even B Rank. Maybe I get more money from a replayed save file?

This is probably the best LEGAL Yu-Gi-Oh! Simulator to date. Older versions like "Legacy of the Duelist" pandered to anime fans too much or had shitty graphics/music. Master duel makes up for that by having much better graphics, UI, and music. Additionally, plenty of card archetype lore quests to finish give you plenty of points to spend in the shop. Admittedly, the game feels pay-to-win with the high points required to get good cards from a pack, maybe, but that applies to TCG & OCG as well. Pick this game up if you want to play this specific format with the UI and don't care for fan-made projects. It's free!

I played this game during the early days.
This isn't too bad of a battle-royale multiplayer game. You go through many maps until you are knocked out, with one last map deciding who is the winner. The controls are okay. I understand they are slippy and laggy for difficulty reasons, but I would've preferred controls to be more responsive and tight with more challenging maps than we have. The music and level design are very charming; I just wish there was more variety.
Most of these issues have been resolved in later updates, but I am unsure if you still have to pay for this game or if it's free to play. I might return to this to find out, but I am in no rush.

Out of all of the Persona dancing games, this one is the second best. The story is just a typical "the main characters can have fun, but lose their memories afterward" type plot, so this game is technically canon, but not in any substantive way. The gameplay is pretty good, with a bunch of good remixes for "Way of Life" or "Time," but a lot of shit ones, like "Light the Fire Up in the Night" and ESPECIALLY "Mass Destruction." Many of the complete original tracks are in this game, too, like "When the Moon's Reaching out Stars" and "Burn My Dread." Mapping is okay, with three buttons and three d-pad directions used for inputs, while the touchpad/shoulder buttons are for the disk spins. The dances are pretty good, too. Overall, Persona 4 Dancing is much better, but if you wanted a bit more fan service from the S.E.E.S cast, this isn't too bad. If you don't like rhythm games, you can skip this one.

This is the Sonic game of all time. A game with Eggman winning and character customization sounds like a shoo-in for a tremendous Sonic game, but it's just disappointingly mid. The level design is the most watered-down version of the boost formula I have ever seen. There is very little variety in alternate paths and stronger enemies because you can instantly use your overpowered weapons and boost to destroy them.
As for the story, you bring back fan enemies like Metal Sonic and Chaos, but they barely have any character interaction or impact on the plot. How come we hear Tails has gone mad after the news of Sonic's disappearance, yet he seems fine when Classic Sonic shows- oh fucking right, we're doing this shit again?!?!? Granted, we saw this hinted at with the Reality Stones in the true ending of Sonic Mania, but his gameplay ends up sucking here, too, because it's primarily long hallways or slow-moving levels.
And the music... it's okay. Other than all the classic sounds, the level music is OK if you like electronic sounds. Nothing like the older games, but it could be worse (see Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood).
I got this game for free with PS+, and I recommend you get this at little to no money or just fucking avoid it and play Sonic Frontiers instead.

Are you feeling the BERN yet? This was a shit funny platformer that you'll place once because of memes, then forget it ever existed. Most super politically charged games like this only last as long as the meme does. Don't even both with this one.
Bernie will never win.

Wow, what a fantastic platformer. The levels and characters have the same surrealness and wacky energy as those from a Wario Land game. The humor is excellent, with many references in the background at every level. The gameplay balances challenge and reward, as you can master every level by remembering the layout. The controls took a little getting used to, but they also worked great. It felt great to get a good sense of speed in each level, especially if you can maintain it with all the narrow paths and the enemies in the way.
The bosses are some of the best I've seen in a platformer. Pepperman is an excellent intro to how to beat bosses. The Vigilante spices things up with you having to dodge and shoot through his bombs and gun attacks. The Noise was wacky but felt too easy (although I did like the end of his fight with Noisette). ??? was a great twist villain, which kept you on your toes, even in the future. Seriously, my heart was beating out of my chest when that happened. I won't spoil the final boss, but that was also the best finale.
PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME. I know it's a little expensive, but it's well worth it. Let's hope we get a consol port, DLC or a sequel.

Oh great. It was bad enough I had to deal with death robots, but now they have invaded my own house? No thanks!
AAAAAA FREDDY FASP BEAR SCARES ME!!! I AM TOO SCARED TO BEAT IT!
Ever since I played the IOS port as a kid, I would play this once a year for the rest of my life. When I saw this was getting an HD Remaster, I instantly bought it, even if I already knew the story and how to solve all the puzzles. I don't know if it's clear yet, but I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! The music is beautiful, the characters are well-developed, the puzzles are challenging, and the ending is inane (even if it had a couple of stretches). Please play this game. The DS original is good, but please buy the HD Remaster so we can have more fun with this gameplay in the future.
When Mario became multiplayer, I completely shat my pants. The multiplayer was chaotic and unbalanced, but nothing beats completing the game on one save file with four friends or roommates. In college, around 2021, my friends studied where the warp pipes were, so we beat the game together in 2hrs! Please play this game, especially with local friends. The multiplayer and minigames will keep you coming back.
