#9 - Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX (GBA)
Since I was still in a Contra mood I decided to fire this up, and it kind of sucks! The size proportions are off from the SNES game so some of the bosses are annoying. You can only hold one weapon at a time, which really screws with the way I used to play. They replaced the Mode 7 levels with two levels from Hard Corps (the train escape and the alien cell lab with the mutated Colonel) but they feel clunky and weird. It's interesting overall but really not very good. It has a password save system (GROSS) and the difficulty modes are easy and baby. Only 6 stages, too. Meh.

6) Infinity Blade. It was free last week so it finally met my price-point for almost anything iOS. It was this weird mixture of really fun and really annoying. I played in iPad and think the game was designed for iPhone instead. The dodge on left/right of the screen while counter was in the middle meant I always wanted 3 hands. The way experience was divided up between pieces of equipment, rather than simply awarded, means you always had to be switching out stuff. That's fine when new items are cheap, and annoying as hell when it starts being 80,000 for something better. An item that expensive requires a complete play-through to earn. I didn't get the Infinity Blade itself, so the downstairs bonus content is going to be locked forever, but that stupid sword costs over 500,000. Somehow, spending real-world money on in-game currency in order to afford the true ending just doesn't seem worth it, so I'm done and satisfied enough with the standard ending.

I agree that it sucks playing on an iPad.

10.) Heavy Rain (PS3)
Pressing X to Jason all over this bitch. Just like Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, I had to force myself through the last couple hours (thankfully, those last hours aren't nearly as ludicrous as they were in Fahrenheit). Quantic Dream's games are always very pretty, but they're boring as hell to play and the uneven voice acting just kills the immersion. This will probably be the last one I bother with.

That kind of attitude is why Jason is dead.

Jason was weak and stupid.

#10 - Heart of the Alien: Out of This World Parts I and II (Sega CD)
I was surprised at how not garbage this was! Part II starts immediately after OoTW, and while it may not be quite as creative or fluid, it's really not awful at all! I liked it. I don'y understand why the game is called HotA: OoTW Parts I and II, but the in-game menu has you choosing from OoTW or HotA. You should be choosing between OoTW Parts I and II! Whatever.
Lester dies; suck it haters.

FUCK MAN I STILL HAVEN'T PLAYED THAT GAME

Dave, I thought about you the whole time and briefly debated bringing this monstrosity with me to Boston!

That is why you get to see the tits. Don't make it weird.
