Narrative can be good, but gameplay is king!

Yes, but charm can only take you so far.

I never got into Splatterhouse and never played that Zombies game. 

I'm lucky I had a PS2 when Psychonauts came out.  This is the first time in a long while that I've only had one next-gen console (Wii U).

Congrats!  Sounds like it's going to be a busy Christmas!

See now you're talking about a Sonic game that I actually like.  I was actually impressed by this one.  I loved how you could play as only Tails (only bad part of that was the Marble Garden Zone boss).  And it was the first game that let you save your progress.

I really liked the level design and graphics.  I think the only stage I liked better in Sonic 2 was Casino Night Zone.  I thought it was way better than Carnival Night.

The music was also great. My favorites include Angel Island, Marble Garden, andIce Cap zones.  And the boss music.  Even though it's just a rumor, I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Jackson really helped with the music.  He was always heavily involved with SEGA, and just listen to the bass line in Act 2 of Ice Cap.  Sounds just like Smooth Criminal.

Sonic 3 also had my favorite bonus stages.  Mainly because they reminded me of Pac-Man.

I thought the Sonic & Knuckles add on cartridge was a neat idea, even if it was meant to be all one game.  Man, if that were the case, that would've been one long Sonic game!

Tails is still the best!  --Cary

I have a feeling that as polished as these new Smash games are, they were still probably rushed in the QC department, hoping they could rectify things via updates.  I haven't seen any bugs in the 3DS version yet, mainly because the screen is a bit small. But one time in Classic Mode I was about to fight Giant Mega Man and when the battle started, he just walked right off the stage and defeated himself.  Guess he wasn't in the mood that day.

And I'm glad to review games that nobody else will touch and review.  And I'm thankful that you read and commented on my stuff!

Yeah, in the game, her panda hairpiece is a power-up.  What other thing(s) were you thinking about?  The fact that she's a teacher and she's nice and smart?

OK, OK, I do know what you're referring to. :)  That's not the reason why she's my favorite character, though. :)

Nah, it's OK.  I just don't want you thinking I'm a weirdo.  Although it may be too late for that. :)

Psychonauts was my Game of the Year back in 2005.
