Those are two of the better games in this batch.

Last night I watched a documentary on the history of Erector sets and LEGO.

Wow I don't remember all the games I played in 2010!

I reviewed that Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces game.  It was made by the same folks who did the Ace Combat titles.  The anime wasn't very good, though.

I didn't play the main Dark Void game, but I did play Dark Void Zero.  It was pretty good and felt like a long lost NES game.  But like a NES game, it also got too hard!

Loved the Data East Classics Collection.  Had a lot of titles you just can't play anywhere else, especially since Data East is long gone.

I reviewed Split Second, but I don't remember much about it.  Brother Jeff named it one of his favorite racing games in one of our podcasts.

Plants vs. Zombies was a fun little game.  I kind of want to play the first person Garden Warfare shooters based on that franchise.

I played the first Prof. Layton game but didn't like it because of all the math word story problems.  I hate math!  But I did play and beat Prof. Layton vs. Phoenix Wright!

The Namco Museum Remix and Megamix games on the Wii are kind of weird.  Especially how they slapped Pac-Man in each and every one of the remix games.

Epic Mickey wasn't perfect, but I still liked it and its sequel.  I'm glad they put Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in them because he's one of my favorite Disney characters and yes I did know about him way before those games.  One time at PAX I got to participate in a roundtable discussion with Warren Spector on Epic Mickey 2.  That is one of my feathers in my game reviewing cap!

I will check out the video later.  Nothing wrong with a little bit of self promotion.  I do it all the time.  By the way, make sure to read my game reviews and listen to my podcast. :)

Glad you gave LEGO City Undercover a chance.  It really is one of the better LEGO games out there.

Stage Select:

I have a lot of games I would recommend, but to keep it short, I'll just pick one: Klonoa!  Really good game series and you can play both of the main ones on PSOne and PS2 on the Klonoa Fantasy Reverie collection they released earlier this year.

Cage Match:

I've never played that Cyberpunk game but my brothers rented Superman 64 once and it was awful.  Should such an awful game win the cage match?  Sure, why not?

By the way, I have a new podcast up myself if you'd like to listen.  Top Five Favorite 2-D Platformers is the topic.

Restless Soul is kind of interesting, but since most of what you do is just talk to people, it drags after a while.

I don't usually eat ice cream out anymore anyway because it's too expensive.

Wind Waker is a wonderful game.  I liked that look even when everyone didn't.  I never got into the Pikmin games.  DKC: Tropical Freeze is too hard.  Yoshi's Woolly World is a return to form for the Yoshi series and it's great.  New Super Luigi U is way too hard.  Color Splash is better than Sticker Star but not by much.  I liked Kirby and the Rainbow Curse better than the 3DS game it was based on.  And I didn't think Game & Wario, Epic Mickey 2, and Tank! Tank! Tank! were as bad as everyone said they are.  I rather liked them.

Yeah Kura Sushi was fun, but I'm not sure I'll go back unless the prizes were something like Mega Man, Kirby, or Animal Crossing.  Although I just read that their newest promotion is with Tetris, so that's kind of tempting.  Especially since you can buy take out bento boxes shaped like Tetris blocks!

I'm kind of sad there's no Cold Stone Cremery's around my area anymore.  Most around here are Marble Slabs.  I'm sad about that because over the summer, they made special flavors based on Kirby, Animal Crossing, and Mario Party.  I wanted Kirby ice cream!
