Yeah I remember that part in Secret of Mana. I always found that so weird. Especially since you defeat a Frost Gigas, who ends up being Santa. The Ice Palace song is kind of cool.
There's not a lot of games where you play as Santa. I remember one I played on a Genesis emulator called Daze Before Christmas which was pretty weird. You could get a cup of tea power-up that would turn Santa into an evil version of himself.
I don't like strategy games either.
I like achievements and trophies, but I only try 'em if they're fun to do.
I have the phyiscal versions of both those games!
Did you get Mega Man Legends 2 and Tomba as a download or physical copy? The physical copies are pretty rare!
Only good thing about Sonic Lost World is the Zelda and Yoshi DLC.
You should try and watch a few more episodes of the Skylanders cartoon. They have an episode about the Imaginators, at least. The only problem I have with the show is Spyro's cocky attitude. He's Spyro, not Sonic. As far as CG video game cartoons go, though, this one's better than the last two I watched (Sonic Boom and Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures). There are a few funny jokes sprinkled around, too.
I didn't watch any Game Award things lately. I guess I didn't miss much, did I?
Right now I'm reviewing a Pinball FX2 pack called Bethesda Pinball, and one of the tables is based on the new Doom game.
Yeah normally I just listen to the game's music, but I couldn't resist in this case.
I didn't really get into the Ridge Racer games until Ridge Racer Type 4, but after that I was hooked. I even went back and bought some of the older Ridge Racer games on the PSOne after that.
What's really cool is that the arcade Ridge Racer game is one of the few video games my dad really got into. In fact, many years later, while I was playing RR64, my dad walked by and said, "Hey, isn't that Ridge Racer?" He recognized the game simply by looking at the screen, which is something my dad usually doesn't do!
I've found that Dead Rising is more fun to watch than to play anyway.
It's funny to have music playing during a game that doesn't quite fit the mood. A long time ago, when the first DOA Volleyball game came out on Xbox, my friend got it and wanted me to come over to play it. I really didn't want to play DOA Volleyball, but I wanted to see my friend, so I went over there anyway. But I brought a few of my CDs with me. Some Xbox games let you upload your own songs to play during the game, and DOA Volleyball was one of those. So when my friend left the room, I secretly uploaded some songs from my CD to his Xbox hard drive. So when he got back, he had to play volleyball to the tune of the DK 64 Rap and Pac-Man Fever. That was so funny!
