I never really liked the Crash Bandicoot games.  Except for Crash Team Racing.  In some ways, it was even better than Mario Kart.

One thing I omitted from this version of my blog was the "Kid Factor" that I put in the GamerDad.com version of this wrap-up.  Anyway, while Labo is great for kids, it's really beter for older kids.  The cardboard is very sturdy, but it's still cardboard.  Just ask yourself this: Are your cousins mature and responsible enough to keep up with and take care of their toys and game controllers?  If the answer is 'yes' then they're probably ready for Labo.

Okami was my Game of the Year in 2006.  I ilked it even better than Twilight Princess, which came out that same year.

Mega Man X4 is my second favorite Mega Man X game.  The original is my favorite, and it's also one of my favorite overall Mega Man games, right up there with 2, 3, and 8.  Yeah I like 8.  Even beter than 11.

I'll post my Game of the Year blog sometime in January.  My pick for my top game will be a surprise.  And it's not Smash Bros. Ultimate either (although that would be probably 2nd).

Yeah the Skylanders have always had good designs and names.  The toys just scream "play with me!"

When my brother Jeff was very little, he was playing one of my arcade classic collections, this one put out by Konami.  He was playing a game called Circus Charlie.  You were a circus clown and had to clear 2-D obstacles with a circus theme (tightrope, trampolines, etc.).  One of them you had to ride a show horse and jump over obstacles.  This was the worst drawn horse I've seen in a video game.  It looked like a cross between a pinata and a My Little Pony.  You could make it go faster, but the running animation looked ridiculous at high speeds.  So while I was watching him and he did that, I said, "Whoa, now he's a Turbo Horse."  He laughed so hard and was rolling on the floor!  So from them on, any horse in a video game that we play is named Turbo Horse.

Yeah I don't think I got any of the water vehicles in Superchargers.

Can you name your horses?  Anytime you get a horse in a video game and can name it, I always name it Turbo Horse.  There's a story behind that.  Have I told it to you before?

Yay you got DuckTales Remastered!

I got a bunch of emails about GRIS.  Guess they really wanted me to review it.

Well I have the Prof. Layton movie on DVD and it has puzzles in it for you to solve.

You, too!  Thanks for reading!
