    Tim comes off as more of a snide, Japanese clubbist asshole with each piece he writes.
    He seems to review everything associated with a game, but not the game itself.

    The same dude gives Mario Galaxy **1/2 out of ***** because "it's not a cultural event! it's just a videogame!"

    Fucking please. Nothing is good if other people like it.

  2. I thought the star ratings over there were literally random.

  3. I'm not going to go back long enough to figure it out. Garbage site.

    bottom line: Super Mario Sunshine is “unimaginably, post-Mario.”

  4. Post-Mario? Jesus Christ.

    I picked this up last week and can get to the second stage's boss before eating it. I've always been really bad at Contra, so this is no surprise. It's a good solid challenge though, so I'm really enjoying it.

    That's how you write a Tim Rogers Review. Duh.

    This is a fact, though four paragraphs of boring, self-gratifying anecdote followed by one paragraph explaining the tenuous connection between the anecdote and the videogame of topic is usually in order, too. That's New Games Journalism!

    So basically, Japanese developers put missile-riding sequences in previous Contras because they thought it would be ingeniously sardonic, and the American developers of Contra 4 added a missile-riding sequence to their game because they thought it would be really super awesome and badass and definitely not tongue-in-cheek at all. What a tool.

    It is my GOTY also. The only game in its league from last year for me is Zack & Wiki which I haven't finished yet so I'll can't fully comment on it yet.

    When I fuck up I start over. Is that what you guys do also?

    Nah. I curse and yell if it was stupid but I keep playing. I never use continues, though.
