TNL's GotM: September 2008

[Toupee]

Crysis is pretty much the only demanding game I played since upgrading my PC last Christmas, so I should probably at least check out Warhead. I liked the first half of Crysis a lot more than the latter (although I appreciated them attempting to mix it up, I was really hoping for a way rad return to the open-ended jungle gameplay of the first half, and never got it. Well, maybe it's here now.)

I'd still like to check out Spore, but making a house in The Sims has always been 10x more interesting to me than the actual gameplay of The Sims. I have a feeling I might feel similarly about Spore and it's creature creator just based on what people tell me. I guess it's probably worth a look though.

I'd love to play Rock Band 2; I'm a huge fan of the first. It's probably my favorite multiplayer game ever. RB2 doesn't look that *different*, though, so it's kind of a pick-it-up-whenever thing for me. We've already downloaded a ton of content and I'm not really that familiar with many of the RB2 tracks, so it can wait. Living in a house of seven dudes right now means our RB set has taken a beating (two busted kick pedals, one drumpad, and our guitar strumbar is goofy) means we haven't really been playing it as much lately.

Might rent Wario Land; not really expecting to blow a load over it.

However, I have soiled myself a little over MM9. I just love it.

Even if TNL was around in 1992, Dragon Warrior IV was kind of archaic compared to other RPGs on the market like Final Fantasy II for SNES.

Smash Bros Brawl is archaic compared to its contemporaries, too. Didn't stop that piece of shit from being GotM.

[Anal Kaboom]

Don't hate.

I sort of see that as an "apples and oranges" comparison. Final Fantasy is the sexy office slut you want to bend over the copier and violate. Dragon Quest is the plain yet reliable girl you take home to mom.

[A Robot Bit Me]

Wait, what?

[Andrew]

Wait, what?

Sexy and flashy in one hand, girl next door in the other. You can't hold them both to the same standard. Girl next door doesn't do anal, but she also doesn't deep-throat your brother while you're at the bookstore.

[Shin Johnpv]

Fixed.

Seriously, you play MMOs you have no right to comment on anyone's taste.

Mega Man 9's probably a good game but is it different enough for someone who isn't a hardcore fan? I love 2d platformers as much as anyone here but the Mega Man series isn't exactly at the top of the heap (that's more of a compliment to other amazing games than an insult to MM). I occasionally go back to MM2 and 3. A lot of people are saying MM9's better than MM4-6 but I'll wait until the hype wears off and then see if fans still feel the same way.

Dude, just get it. It's like ten bucks. Price ain't changin'.

[NeoZeedeater]

It's not the price. It's that I already own a Mega Man compilation with 4-6 having been barely been touched.
