I reviewed Pikmn Bloom closer to when it came out, but it really only kept me entertained for a couple of months.

I don't like escort missions all that much. Luckily most of the games I like to play don't have them. I'm also not a big fan of sneaking around in games. I think the only game that made sneaking around fun for me was the Ape Escape games.
There's a demo you can download if you want to try it out first.
2003-2006 were really good years for me. I had just started writing for GamerDad.com in 2003, and that same year I started a job I liked pretty well for the most part. I also got to go to E3 every year again! I also joined a really neat website called 1up.com!
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is probably the best Mario RPG. What impressed me the most is the clever writing in that game. I hope it's the same in the remake.
Metroid Prime 2 was the hardest in the Prime series for me. I don't think I ever beat it like I did the others.
R&C: Up Your Arsenal took the vast improvments from the second game and refined them even more.
I hope I get to review the Bluey game!
I didn't know Humongous made that. They're mostly known for their kids' games.
Speaking of a Bluey video game:
I know I've said this before, but Activision Anthology is one of the best video game collections ever made, even rivaling my favorite Namco Museums on the PSOne. It was so cool how you could get those virtual badges that were based on the real ones you used to could get. Does that make Activision the creator of achievements?
Kirby's Air Ride is so awesome. The City Trial Mode is so fun. I wish they'd make a sequel.
I was curious about the Blue's Clues PlayStation game. It wasn't made by the same people, but Humongous Entertainment did the PC Blue's Clues games. Humongous also did the Backyard Sports games as well as kiddie point and click adventures like Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, Freddie Fish, Spy Fox, etc. Those were really charming games and I loved talking with Humongous every year at E3. When they did the Blue's Clues PC games, they were in talks with Nick Jr. to make cartoons out of their characters. I would've loved to have seen that happen! Too bad it didin't.
Everyone talks about Mario Kart Double Dash but nobody talks about a better racing game on the GameCube: Kirby's Air Ride!
I must be the only person who didn't like Beyond Good and Evil. I didn't like the sneaking around mechanics. I usually don't.
Viewtiful Joe is great but way too hard.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was a great RPG. The best one in that series was Bowser's Inside Story. Luckily both were remade on the DS.
Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando was VASTLY improved over the first game. I really liked the first three games in the series.
