Another one of those 'damn hard, yet really fun' type games. Really is an interesting concept, rocket powered armor for 2-d platforming and random side-scrolling SHUMP action. Hit detection kinda sucks, though.

And when i say beat i mean made it to the point where the credits rolled. I unlocked everything.. I just don't feel like wasting my time getting all the trophies and such..... Got bigger fish to fry! (Skyrim, Return to Madness, ect ect ect :P)

but i will give my review... its a great sequel to the already award winning Trials HD game. Instead of being inside like the original game mostly took place in... This game more so focused on a out door world scenery.

Its levels are vast playing with politics (they have a level where your going through a war zone in iraq for crying out loud!), other games! (they have a level modeled after the game LIMBO. and they do a tongue in cheek knock off of Portal.... and no that doesn't mean riding the bike through portals to make it to the other side... although i wish they did... that would have been cool as hell!). Even a track based on a movie which IMO is the coolest track of the sets.... The Inception track (and man does it fuck with you!)

The levels had more depth imo and more unlockables and the track editor is alot more powerful (i mean you can make FPS levels... flight 2d shoot em ups..... and all kinds of other games with this thing!... someone even made a very well done Foosball game table that fully works!)

The only complaints I have are on some levels it feels like they pulled a cheap fast one to get you to crash.... Like one level i forgot which one right now... But you go up on a jump and kinda ramp to ramp down a giant stone hand... when you roll down its thumb at the bottom theres a very tiny dip or bump you don't see that will get you just about every time which can make it frustrating... Also some levels are built in a way where unless you feel like mastering their every little move... They are built to the bike you unlock for the section of tracks. If you use any other bike but that one you'll have all kinds of problems.

but other then that....................... its a very good game very well excecuted... Check it out... 9/10

Ah, this game. I got it following Christmas one year when the Genesis was still an active system. I had remembered reading about it in Sega Visions and it looked like fun. I never really played more than a few hours of it, as the game has a few serious issues with telling you what it wants you to do. Picking it up recently, I found that those issues weren't just me being a dumb kid, which was greatly reassuring. Over all, once you get past these few issues, it's a pretty fun game. Didn't care for the OST though.

Can't get more back to basics than this. I just beat both quests in Super Mario Bros. via Super Mario All-Stars. Man, it's been a LONG time since I played through the original Super Mario Bros. in any form. We're talking at least a decade, if not closer to 15 years, and most of it is still burned into my memory. I did have to relearn how to get through the maze sections, though, which is a bit of a surprise. If you asked me back in the '90s if I would ever not know those routes like the back of my hand, I'd probably laugh.

Another day, another Mario. My memory is slightly foggier on Super Mario Bros. 2. I missed quite a few life upgrade spots, and I didn't always remember my way around. Still very easy for me, though, so it was done in no time.

25. AAAHH!!! Real Monsters

I had rememberd this game being mildly challenging with reasonably tight controls and a decent OST. Haivng just played through it, it seems I was right about the controls, but wrong about the other two. Most of the game is easy, with a few hard difficulty spikes in some a of the later levels and boss battles. The OST...is horrible. It's got some of the most annoying sound I've ever been subjected to from a Genesis game. The source matterial didn't really have much in the way of music to draw from, but you'd think Nick could do a tad better than this.

5/14/12 (I think this is the first game I've beaten this year!):

Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)

I had made it my personal mission to progress as far as I could in the game and possibly beat it (which I finally did last night.) I had proven that "cheaters never win" not long ago by screwing up my game save by trying to get a 100% one off the internet so I could just enjoy driving the different cars and just explore the city and have fun, instead of playing errand boy for the Russians, Jamaicans, Italians, etc. I found out that since the name on the save didn't match the PS3 refused to recognize it. This was AFTER deleting my save (where I was stuck on the mission where you had to save Roman anyway). I decided a fresh start was in order.

The funny thing was...a lot of the missions (including the one you had to save Roman) were much easier this time around. I found myself generally improving my skills on most of the missions (and realized I had totally forgotten R1 allowed you hide behind things while shooting) and was having a better time. I did screw up some missions, though. I am far from perfect in that regard. I also used the health and lower wanted level cheats to make it easier. I died enough times using those cheats. I know for a fact I would be writing this in 10 years if I didn't use a little help.

I realized as I watched the credits roll (and marveled at how LONG they were!) that the game was definitely one of the most engaging games I have played in a long time. Even the newer Mario games have not received more than 30 minutes of play in weeks. The game is very well done (albeit very dark at times on the PS3 despite it not supposed to be at certain times of day....had to adjust the contrast and saturation on more than one occasion) and I am going to continue playing to see what little side things I can complete. (I am at 72% done on the game despite beating the main story....there are a lot of little things that bring you to 100%, but like the Ghostbusters game I consider the game beat when you beat the main story. The side things are just that....side things.)

Love the first 2/3 of the game, though the beginning of the arson desk is kind of a drag. Picks back up towards the end. Also, the story before taking the arson cases is stupid and came completely out of the blue with little rhyme or reason. Overall, $2.83 well spent.

In honour of Diablo 3 having been released yesterday I guess I was motivated to pick up my original save file from 7 years ago and finally beat Diablo for PC. First run through the dungeon, level 25 warrior - I didn't think I could do it but happened to go toe-to-toe with Diablo and took him out with a row of full potions. It only makes sense to pick up where I left off on Diablo 2 next.

After reading the thread on the best Star Fox, I got the itch to replay this game. Can't remember the last time I played this game. Definitely don't remember all the finer points, like where to fire bombs, certain paths and tasks to complete, but still had a blast playing. Took the route that included the Aquas (submarine level) and the polluted water world (possibly my favorite). Saw Andross's "true" form, but laughed that Star Wolf was in their second form, even though I had not seen them prior to Venom. And of course, I had to break out the Rumble Pak and find some AAA batteries to play this game!

1) Uncharted 2 Amongst Thieves PS3 - After shelving Uncharted Drake's Fortune for a year (no reason just other games to play) I did not make that mistake when I got Uncharted 2 for Christmas. Every bit as amazing as the first, now I need a price drop on Uncharted 3
2) Rage Xbox 360 - Probably the most anti climactic ending to a game I have seen in a long time. Missions towards the end also felt tedious and the game became more of a chore in my opinion.
3) Homefront PS3 - Not nearly as satisfying as Frontlines Fuel of War. I would have definitely preferred a lot more depth to the story and more meat to the missons.
4) WWE Day of Reckoning Gamecube - Raw Story Mode - Blew through this over the course of a few days & then became stuck on the Royal Rumble for 2 days. 1 controller later I finally beat the Rumble & moved onto become champ at Wrestlemania

I think the only way one could possibly improve this victory screen is to have dinosaurs drive monster trucks in the background.

Figuring that it would be highly redundant (and boring) to sit down with any one of these games by myself, playthough however many times would be needed for completion and then writing up individual blurbs about each individual one when they are all likely the same game with a different coat of paint.....I decided to invite over a group of sports minded friends and see what could be done about the lot. I can't really say any one was better than the other or really that different. Other than the difference between hockey, basketball and football, that is. The interface for all the games is was really made them indistinguishable from the rest. Not being sports centric made it additionally difficult to understand the games as a whole, but what can you say?
