Despite my longstanding track record with Ubisoft, I never played nor reviewed any of the Rabbids games. I did watch a bit of the cartoon, though. Wasn't very good. This game sounds a bit like Katamari Damacy.
I declined to review Severed because a game where you cut off limbs off of monsters didn't sound like my cup of tea. But I'm sure it's still a good game with Drinkbox's past record. I loved Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack and Guacamelee.
Yeah when I played NARC on one of the Midway collection, I was surprised at how violent it actually was. I don't remember it being as violent in the arcade, but that was a long time ago. I think that game came out like, a year or so before Mortal Kombat.
Yeah it's hard for me to put them on the list when they mow down and run over hundreds of criminals on the road in their sports car. :)
I loved point and click adventures as a kid, too, but I never got into the Sierra ones for some reason. The ones I was into were the LucasFilm Games titles. Especially Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. That was my favorite. LucasFilm Games was also where I learned about and got into Sam & Max.
You know which police officers did not make my list either? The ones from NARC.
The N64 came out when I was in college and I just started reviewing games for The Dallas Morning News a few months before its release. So I played and reviewed a lot of games on it. While I ended up liking the PSOne more, the N64 had a lot of fun and memorable games. Some of my favorites off the top of my head include:
Super Mario 64
Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie
Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
Mario Kart 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Kirby 64
Super Smash Bros.
Paper Mario
Tetrisphere

I never had a Genesis as a kid, and I don't remember plunking any quarters into the arcade version, so E-SWAT isn't really high on my memory. When I played it on one of those SEGA classic collections, it just seemed like a rip off of Robocop and Rolling Thunder combined.
I don't think I've heard of that one. Like I said in my blog, there aren't enough firefighting video games. If I can't come up with a better blog idea, I may do a favorite video game firefighter blog in a month or two.
