P.N. 03 This was... something lol, the most positive thing I can say is that some of the ideas present here went on to become Vanquish, and that one's cool. Oh, and I guess the Papillon suit is kinda neat. The controls are awkward, even for a GameCube game, some enemies and bosses move way too fast for how slow the aiming is, environments are empty and barren and not in a GameCube era kind of way. The story is pretty much non-existent: "Here's your next mission" "Will you tell me about the target?" "No" "OK" The last boss is a nightmare too lol, overall, not recommended unless you really, REALLY want to see what came before Vanquish. Grade: D-

90% off, the eshop version.

Star Fox Assault Shorter than I remember, but still pretty fun. Really appreciate that it uses the C-Stick as a right stick camera control instead of some other weird control setting lol. Aparoid infection is still super creepy, specially the Corneria boss fight, still hits hard after all these years. There are some issues though, voice acting is a weak spot, Peppy went from cartoony old guy voice to monotone apathetic old guy voice lol, graphics also look like a downgrade from Adventures, and (this is just me lol) I much prefer the Arwing from Adventures over this one, Adventures has a more practical look and feel to it, Assault just kinda has pointy stuff everywhere and doesn't really land, just hovers in place. Grade: A

Star Fox Adventures Better than I remembered, but also kinda bad lol, some of the parts I recall being super frustrating (like the test of strength in Lightfoot village) were way easier this time, while the bomb puzzles were as annoying as always. Gameplay holds up better than expected, except for some things. Trying to aim the fire blaster feels like you're fighting against the staff itself, really frustrating, specially with how many timed puzzles require that you hit targets with this thing. Not being able to jump down while climbing rock walls gets annoying real fast, more so if you make multiple visits to the store. Not having proper camera controls is also quite the choice, specially when Assault does have the option to use the C Stick as a normal right stick camera control. I actually didn't remember that moment with Scales lol, was actually looking forward to that fight and then... Nothing. Grade: B+

HELL YEAH!!!! \m/ \m/ Available today!! \m/ \m/

Star Fox 64 As fun as I remember, also, I'm way better at it now than when I originally played it aeons ago lol, took me about an afternoon to get both endings. Grade: A+

Would love an entire album in this style.

Since I don't think I'll be able to finish Sekiro before the end of the year, here's my list for 2024: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos Taboo Trial Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation The Typing of the Dead: Overkill Bullet Girls Phantasia Palworld Borderlands GOTY Enhanced Borderlands 2 Maid of the Dead Borderlands 3 Warhammer 40000: Gladius Warhammer 40000: Mechanicus Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II Elden Ring Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Space Marine 2 The Callisto Protocol The Evil Within The Evil Within 2 Much better than I thought, was sure I'd only finished 14 games or so, also, earlier in the year I thought this would be a fanservice heavy year for me, ended up being more of a WH40K kind of year.

It's that time of the year again! Game of the Year (But not really because it's DLC): MORE Elden Ring, that's all I wanted, all I needed, all I could ever ask for, and it delivered. Found some of my favourite weapons and armour in this DLC, the bosses were pretty cool for the most part, the soundtrack was amazing. A most excellent addition to an already awesome game. Game of the Year (this time's for real): The Emperor is pleased. First one was fun, but with some issues, this sequel improves on pretty much every aspect while still keeping what made the original so fun to play. Tons of enemies, lots of cool weapons to fight said enemies with, customization, co-op, everything is here! The story is pretty decent, and all I could ask for in a game like this "here's a cool/badass reason for you to go somewhere and kick ass".

Co-op action game, normally I'd be pretty let down by this, but it looks really cool and it's more Elden Ring, so I'm pretty hyped.

If you've watched Secret Level then you'll be familiar with this new version of Pac-Man lol Got extremely hyped and then my heart broke

Tosin has looked like that for a while lol, dude saw John Petrucci and went "Hold my 8 string" lol. For drummers yeah, Halpern only played on their first album iirc, it's been Gartska on drums since... 2012(?)

The Evil Within 2 Brief but accurate summary: This one definitively felt better to play, it is overall the better game, but the first one is the better survival horror. Not to say this one isn't scary, it does have some really creepy parts, but the general atmosphere and feel of this one doesn't quite reach the same heights. The story was pretty cool Overall, this is a game I would totally recommend to anyone interested in the series, there's plenty of QoL and gameplay improvements, although at the cost of some of the horror, still pretty creepy though. Grade: A
