I like the yoga on the wii fit. So I got this to practice more. What a disappointment. It was not a wait and does give me a workout but not what I was hoping for. It also tells you you are doing a pose wrong but doesn't tell you how to do it right. Good game if you know the poses already and know you do them right.

This is a fun game to help you feel like your connecting with the season. Gives variety.

I like the new variety in this version.

Earthbound: Awesome Game, List of Shame.

http://starmen.net/mother2/gameinfo/antipiracy/enemies03.png

This game is on my list of shame for games I have not beaten but really should have. The game is basically from Square's SNES "golden age." Its the story of a kid from the burbs that wakes up because a metorite crashed close to his house. I am not going to spoil any of the story but things get interesting fast.

The game is unique because the main character is a regular kid from a regular town. The enemies in the first areas are skate punks, birds and other normal things. The art style is very unique but the game doesn't hide that you are going from town to town in suburbia. Until you go into the city and other later areas.

The game has a great story and the way it hops... Read All

This is one of my all time favorite games. I liked the modern setting (which is rare for RPGs), the humor, and the art style. One of the coolest things about this game was the strategy guide that came with the game. The guide is written like a travel guide, including ads and news paper clippings from the towns you visit in the game and it is actually really fun to read. I even still have the scratch-n-sniff cards that came with it even though they have long lost their scent.

In fact, I just really miss how awesome the manuals for games use to be. I remember getting the original Zelda and just looking through the manual at all the art work and reading the descriptions of the various enemies.

Yeah, you got me into Earthbound and its a great game!

The other day I pulled out the manual to the link to the past and it was awesome. I still have the "super secret tips from sahasrahla." I waited till I was pretty far in the game before I opened it. Didn't want to spoil it.

I finally played Earthbound in recent years on an emulator. I beat it, but I was cheating, too. LOL What can I say? I like cheating in video games. I didn't know about this game until I played Super Smash Bros.

I try out many iPhone games because often times they are free and are a great way to spend a few minutes when your waiting for something or before bed. Fruit Ninja is a popular game I downloaded for free to test out.

Basically you swipe your finger across fruit to cut it like a Ninja. You get points for doing that. It gets harder or something and then you slice more fruit with your finger. You get ranked for your fruit Ninja fu.

Its no longer on my iPhone.

Yeah, Courtny has this on her iPhone. It's another gimmick game that's fun for a few minutes until the novelty wears off.

Actually that describes a lot of Wii games too...

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 02/10/2012 at 02:55am

True. But at least with these kinds of iPhone games they are free. Wii shovelware costs money.

During the Android 10/cent sale I picked Fruit Ninja because of its popularity. I should have tried the free version first! It was fun for about 5 minutes until I was completely bored and asking myself why I was still playing. I'm curious what has made it so popular, as I don't see the appeal.

You need to demand a refund.

I dunno, maybe its just me, but I had a ton of fun with Fruit Ninja. There is some strategy you can use and the gimmick does work very well. It's good for when you need two minutes of mindless fun to occupy your time.

This game is listed as a Playstation 2 game, but it was actually a sweet arcade game that was released on DVD and marketed as "Playstation 2 Compatible."

I only actually remember playing this game once, but it's always been stuck in my head as "That really cool hologram game." I couldn't honestly even remember what it was called, but a recent post on Dragon's Lair jarred my memory. (Time Traveler was designed by the same guy that created Dragon's Lair)

I remember being blown away watching this game. It reminded me of the holograph scenes in Star Wars.

Such a rad game.

I once played this game online over a modem. Honestly, I don't remember if it was 14.4 or 56k.
It was with a good friend's brother in law.The game was really intense, but I managed to build a nuke over time. He had the upper hand by that point, until I wiped out his commander with a nuke.
I lost the telephone connection and within seconds the phone rang. He was pretty steamed, saying that we had never decided before the game that nukes were ok to use. Heck, we never had a pre-war pow wow about any of the weapons. All's fair in love and computer wars.

Civilization Revolution is Great!

Civilization Revolution is the best turn based strategy ive played on a console. The game is stripped down compared to Civilization 4 on PC but that doesn't mean its less fun. In fact, I believe the game is stronger because it does less.

All you have is the PS3 or XBOX controller so they had to reduce the complexity for the game to work very well on those systems. For instance, your tech tree isn't as deep. You have less military unit options. Your diplomacy options are not as advanced. You have less details to manage. There is less world real estate too. All that said, its as much fun as I remember the original DOS version was.

There are a few kinds of victories:... Read All
