The Age's Jason Hill writes a short review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on Screen Play: "Anyone been playing Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games over the last week? I have, and my shoulders are sore."
Highlights from his review:
• Frustratingly imprecise controls
• Sport events are exhausting and tiring (due to frenzied arm waving with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk)
• Designed for party play and multiplayer action
• The only (strange) way to unlock all sport events is to complete the circuits alone (on single player,) which is annoying and dull
Conclusion: "If you are really desperate to pit an overweight plumber against a blue hedgehog, Screen Play suggests you wait for next year's Smash Bros. Brawl. Olympic Games can be short-lived amusement with a crowd, but the fun challenges are outnumbered by bland or frustrating events. Such iconic characters deserved better."

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Yet ANOTHER bad Wii game. It's beginning to look a lot like GameCube
I dont think Sonic and Mario should have teamed up ... idk
its just weird I guess
double post :(
