2012

I enjoyed using a notepad to decipher the glyphs and it felt great to crack some of the puzzles though I'd hoped for more in regard to the platforming, which was mostly hammering RT until there was a platform I could jump to.

I loved this. A real goofy, tongue-in-cheek action movie plot wrapped around a nice n chunky cover-shooter core. Delicious.

I'm not sure that I've ever genuinely had fun playing Minesweeper but I sure as hell played a lot of it.

It's real ugly but Bo Rai Cho is a good/stupid pun. I really don't enjoy the loose feel of performing combos in this game.

Some of the combat sections overstay their welcome but it's a gorgeous wee adventure and the wall runs and rewind mechanic were a revelation at the time.

It's wild how well this still holds up. If I see a Pac-Man cab I'll always have a quick go.

I am absolutely terrible at this. I don't think I've ever won a match. I don't understand what's going on either as a player or spectator. 4.5/5.

Not a huge fan of actually playing the older Resident Evil games but I do love the hokey dialogue. I mostly played this when I wanted to show off how amazing it looked (especially on my wee CRT).

Grew to really love the cast by the end, especially Apollo and Phoenix's casual look.

The main game is fine, very enjoyable if unremarkable. The Coin Rush StreetPass mode was almost enjoyable, but had an arbitrary 30,000 score limit, rendering it pointless. The Nerve Wrack Pack DLC was a wonderful trio of stages though; I played those three over and over for longer than it took to 100% the main game.

A short but very enjoyable (and pretty challenging) gravity-flip platformer. Belter of a soundtrack.

My favourite of the NSMB games by a huge margin and probably in my top 5 Mario games. The Challenge Mode is wonderful and I want to see it return.

2014

The suspense of it all was amazing but it was not at all fun to play, crabbing-along, tapping X.

I'm sure I've finished this. There's no way I haven't finished this.

As kids we used to always "Do a Michael Jackson" which meant moonwalking up the stairs then holding the whip above your head.
