When your game is published, I wanna review it!

Oh and by the way, the link to the blog page takes me to my blogs, not everyone's.  Just thought I'd let you all know.

Well, in Super Mario 3-D World, he and Luigi straightened out a pipe at the beginning, and I think they used wrenches then...

I wouldn't worry about trying to be like Mario.  Really the only game where he did any plumbing, he was actually more on pest control duty. 

I think the best place to start learning RPGs is actually the 16-bit ones.  They were not too complicated or meandering.  Final Fantasy IV is a good place to start, although FF6 is my personal favorite.  Square even made a Final Fantasy game to appeal to beginner RPG players in the US called Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, but a lot of people don't like that one.  I like it, though.

Also, Pokemon games and Mario RPGs are also good for beginners.

It looks like a cross between a ninja game and Rolling Thunder, and it looks like it takes two popular 80's themes: Ninjas and anti-drug messages.  Still looks rather un-inspired, though.  I do remember the bosses in this game, though, like the first level boss being that giant guy who just jumps around.

Have you ever played and reviewed Natsume's Shadow of the Ninja?  I wonder if that one's any better.

I never really got into Limbo for some reason.

Here is my review of Korra:

Well you have Shovel Knight on your list, so that's good.  WayForward's Shantae games are also fantastic.  One of my favorite indie games is on the Xbox 360.  it's a little old, so it may be hard to find to download, but Protect Me Knight is an awesome game and was made by Yuzo Koshiro's team Ancient.

That's my favorite line.  It's also one of my favorite Cartoon Network bumpers.  So many funny jokes and parodies.

Curse Turner for taking off their stations from Dish Network!  I hate not having Cartoon Network now!

I guess Bayonetta is a little sexist, but nothing I'm going to harp about.  About the only thing I would do if I reviewed it was say something like, "Bayonetta has some suggestive themes like such-and-such and is better suited for older gamers."  And that's it.  And since she has guns on her shoes and has a hair monster attack enemies while eating lollipops, she seems more silly than sexist to me. 

Really what bothered me more about Bayonetta was the violence.  But then, I know I'm a big baby who mostly just plays kiddy Kirby games, so I'm just not used to that.  Plus I just didn't like fighting angels.  I like angels, I dont' want to fight them.  But did I complain about it?  Nah, I just stopped playing the game when it got too yucky for me.  I still say it's a great action game, just not entirely my cup of tea.  And that's OK.  There are lots of good games out there that I don't like as much, but I still recognize their merits.

But just remember, and you should know this better than anyone, that game reviewers aren't perfect either.  Lord knows I've written some reviews when I wasn't at my best, and I'm sure it's happened to others as well.

One last thing.  The only part of the Wii U Bayonetta game that I'd like to try is that I hear you can dress her up in Nintendo costumes.  I think it would be funny to have her run around in Peach's dress.  Yes, I know I'm silly.  --Cary

I was sad about that Double Dragon Neon review, too.  I guess he just didn't want a silly Double Dragon game.  I loved it, though, even if it was a little on the hard side.

I was also sad when they bashed Ni no Kuni on IGN.  I liked it. But hey, what do I know?  I've only been reviewing games for nearly 20 years. :)
