I like writing abotu games just as much as, if not more than, playing them. Unfortunately it's near impossible to make a career out of it. I've been trying for more than 15 years and haven't made much headway. Although I have had a lot of great opportunities and memories writing for newspapers like The Dallas Morning News and sites like GamerDad.com.
I was really into Lemmings games when they first came out. Loco Roco 2 is awesome, too.
Only toy lines I got into as a kid were Star Wars and Transformers. After that it was just video games all the way.
Yeah the LEGO movie was much better than I thought it would be. I reviewed the game, too.
CTR is the only Crash game I've ever liked. I don't think it's better than Mario Kart, but I think it's one of the few kart racers to be able to hold its own against Mario's racers. I loved how getting air time would give you a boost. And my favorite racer was the polar bear!
My favorite controller is actually a third party SNES controller called the ASCII Pad. It wasn't much different than a regular SNES controller, but it had turbo switches for all the buttons and was very light. It just felt natural and I swore by that thing.
When the NES came out, I hated the square controllers, so I only used a NES Advantage joystick.
I like the PlayStation Dual Shock controllers pretty well, too. 360 ones are nice except for the D-pad. N64 controllers worked well for games that were designed for them.
I was not a big fan of Dreamcast and GameCube controllers.
I have Xillia but I haven't even opened the box yet. Which characters do you think I'd like?
Zack & Wiki and A Boy and His Blob are fantastic on the Wii. I never played the Chocobo's Dungeon game. Namco and Hudson also made some great Wii titles.
My favorite characters are Kirby and Princess Zelda.
In that Game Boy Donkey Kong game that I talked about on my blog, there are many levels where Mario climbs vines similar to how DK Jr. does it. DK Jr. is in the game, also, and in one of the final levels, you have to do the same thing you do in the final level of DK Jr. except your're trapping Jr. in a cage!
