Mario Kart Wii, or as I like to call it, the poor mod for Cocoto Kart Racer, is plagued by the disastrous decision to implement Rabbid Rules. The Bullet Bill meta allows lazy players to win without any skill, and Madman Mackola's so-called "meta tactics" only exacerbate the issues. It's essentially a broken mess that crashes whenever you try to make an epic comeback. Comparisons to life's struggles are laughable; it's just a video game. Let's face it; there are better ways to spend your time, like not playing this crash-prone disaster and opting for a more worthwhile experience like Final Fantasy XIV. An abysmal 4 out of 10 for this failed attempt at Mario Kart greatness.

1996

Quake, the iconic first-person shooter that laid the foundation for the genre, stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action. Its influence on subsequent games, including the beloved Team Fortress 2, is undeniable, showcasing the impact it has had on shaping the gaming landscape. However, the unexpected twist in the narrative comes with the "New World Order" update in CS:GO, which raises eyebrows due to the unusual choice of a soundtrack featuring Tom MacDonald songs.

Quake's contribution to gaming history goes beyond its soundtrack, as it pioneered the multiplayer experience and set a standard for the FPS genre. The fast movement, intense combat, and innovative level design continue to captivate players, making it a classic that transcends time. Nevertheless, the juxtaposition of Quake's legacy with the unconventional choice of Tom MacDonald's music in CS:GO's update might leave some fans scratching their heads, questioning the thematic coherence.

Despite the soundtrack surprise, Quake's impact on the gaming industry remains immeasurable. Its gameplay mechanics and competitive spirit laid the groundwork for countless shooters that followed. The unexpected musical choice in CS:GO doesn't diminish the greatness of Quake, but it adds an eccentric footnote to its influence. Score: 9/10.

Mario Kart Wii 2 takes the exhilarating kart racing formula of its predecessor and cranks it up a notch, leaving players in awe of the unexpected twists and turns it introduces. The initial skepticism about another installment quickly dissipates as players are met with a surprising array of new tracks. Peach Circuit and Star Road, though not the most anticipated additions, manage to inject a fresh vibe into the Mario Kart experience, proving that innovation can sometimes come from unexpected quarters.

The modding community's audacity to go beyond the ordinary and bring forth tracks like Adv_shovelware_v1 and Jb_Freddy210hell_v12 showcases the creativity and humor that sets this mod apart. The courage to deviate from the expected norms is commendable, adding an element of surprise and unpredictability to the familiar Mario Kart formula. However, the inclusion of tracks that cater to a more niche audience might leave some players yearning for more universally beloved additions.

Mario Kart Wii 2 successfully navigates the tricky terrain of modding by balancing the introduction of novel elements with a nod to the desires of its player base. While it might not be the sequel everyone expected, it manages to carve a unique identity in the vibrant world of Mario Kart mods. Score: 8/10.

Holocure: Save the Fans! plunges players into the enchanting world of VTubers, where kawaii desu desu vibes and over-the-top expressions reign supreme. This game is an unabashed celebration of the quirky and endearing culture surrounding virtual YouTubers, offering a unique experience for fans of the phenomenon. With characters embodying various anime tropes like onii-chan, tsundere, and yandere, Holocure serves up a delightful dose of Japanese pop culture.

The gameplay, while not groundbreaking, captures the essence of the VTuber universe. The developers did a commendable job incorporating elements that resonate with fans, from the tsundere interactions to the ever-present onii-chan references. The soundtrack, featuring a blend of catchy J-pop tunes and inspirational lyrics, adds a fitting backdrop to the VTuber spectacle. However, the game's narrow focus on VTuber culture may limit its appeal to those outside the fanbase.

While Holocure: Save the Fans! is undoubtedly a niche experience, it successfully caters to the fervent VTuber enthusiasts who appreciate the playful charm of virtual personalities. Its limited scope and niche appeal might hinder broader success, but for fans deeply entrenched in VTuber culture, it provides a heartwarming journey into the world of kawaii dreams. Score: 7/10.

Cat Quest, a game that leaves you with an overwhelmingly forgettable experience. Its lackluster gameplay and uninspiring narrative failed to make any lasting impression, blending into the background of our gaming memories. The dullness of the adventure was so profound that we found ourselves struggling to recall any significant moments or engaging features. Cat Quest seemed to have slipped through the cracks of our consciousness, leaving an indistinct mark that failed to resonate. Score: 4/10.

Cuphead, a refreshing break from the daily onslaught of shovelware, emerged as a beacon of genuine creativity. Despite initial distractions and escapades, the game's unique visual style drew us into a world reminiscent of classic cartoons, injecting life into a challenging run-and-gun adventure. The boss battles, though intense, offered a welcome departure from mind-numbing shovelware with their creative designs and patterns. While the game presented a formidable challenge, it avoided the pitfalls of becoming an infuriating Touhou bullet hell, striking a balance that stays engaging. Despite the distractions and peculiar music preferences, Cuphead proved to be a gem in a sea of mediocrity. Score: 8/10.

The perfect game for those brave enough to navigate the mind-boggling realm of Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, a $2 budget turd that defies the conventions of sanity. It attracts a unique crowd of mentally challenged gamers who reject mainstream titles, proclaiming Fortnight as for losers while indulging in the barren wasteland of low-budget knockoffs. Xx_SEMEN_DEMON_xX, the legendary player, haunts the game, ensuring your torment doesn't end even on backloggd. Brace yourself for the chaos as you plunge into this shovelware abyss, praying that JESUS JESUS JAPANESUS intervenes to save your soul. Score: 4/10.

(^• ω •^) Meowdy meowsters! If you're looking for a game to collect kitties without the hassle of dealing with the cat girls in FFXIV's horny jail or Kirby's perpetual napping, Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector might catch your fancy. It embraces its quirkiness with expressive cat animations and a lighthearted approach to virtual cat collection. However, be warned, the game takes a unique turn by hilariously telling you to "F U C K O F F" after making a purchase. Bonus points for being the first self-aware piece of shovelware that actively encourages you not to play. A bizarre twist that adds an unexpected layer to the typical mobile gaming experience. Score: 7/10.

TowerFall Ascension, a game that defies the odds, turns out to be a decent surprise, contradicting initial expectations of falling into the abyss of nightmarish shovelware. The inclusion of homing arrows and drill arrows, while cheap, contributes to the thrill, akin to the chaos induced by TF2's notorious aimbot snipers. It's a game that caught me off guard, and in the ever-evolving landscape of gaming, TowerFall Ascension stands as a testament to the unpredictable gems one can stumble upon. Score: 8/10.

Roblox, the virtual wonderland, outshines with Typical Colors 2's relentless updates, overshadowing even the iconic TF2. Character designs, supposedly influenced by a duck for the TC2 Demoman, inject a humorous twist. And hey, who wouldn't want to splurge $239.99 CAD on Larry the Lobster urgently? It's a steal! The community's enthusiasm and creative spirit make Roblox a vibrant hub for gamers, offering an ever-evolving landscape of entertainment. Dive into this digital realm, but watch out—Larry might be waiting with his claws wide open. Score: 9/10.

Well, if we were to go into an alternate universe where Duds__ had an unexpectedly grim fate and ended up in Minecraft Dungeons as a form of cosmic punishment, one might say this would be a surreal and darkly creative twist to his story. In this bizarre narrative, the Minecraft Dungeons experience for Duds__ becomes a metaphorical hell, plagued by choppy visuals, crusty animations, and relentless blocky enemies. The creative touch in weaving a tale involving Duds__ and the infamous "Monkey Incident of 2023" adds a layer of twisted humor.

In the spirit of creativity, let's give this narrative a daring 7.5 out of 10 for its unique take on Duds__'s fate and the unexpected blend of humor and dark fantasy.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a rollercoaster of disappointment, with Smash Tour dragging it into the depths of gaming hell. The mockery of the game declaring you a winner despite losses adds a sarcastic charm. The "Wii U" in the title should make it obvious what the quality of this game will be but don't worry, the 3DS version's Smash Run is worth a place in the hall of shame as well. While the core gameplay is there, the overall package is pretty shit. However, there's a glimmer of dark joy in trolling friends by picking Pac-Land, ensuring epic looks on their faces. The game, a chaotic mess, deserves a darkly humorous 5 out of 10 for the sheer absurdity it brings to the Smash Bros. universe.

HOLY FUCK, Brawlhalla is a wild ride! Rayman, Simon Belmont, Street Fighter, John Cena(?), Cassidy?! My brain goes DOODODOODODODO with the excitement of this colossal crossover. It's like Fortnite adding duds, and I'm here for it! Brawlhalla, the chaos king of crossovers, deserves a raucous 10 out of 10 for blowing minds and shattering expectations. It's not just a game; it's a celebration of gaming mayhem!

Confucius once said, "Forgive the man who dislikes Mario Party 4, but despise the one making you play M&M Kart Racing." Mario Party 4 may lack the communist party vibes or the board game gimmick, but it's pretty damn good. As Enterprise wisely declared, "Twitter, Instagram is my round-the-clock ritual." And let's be clear, if you ask ScreenGAME about his Mario Party takes, he might just dive into duck rituals instead of enlightening you with his opinions. In the chaotic world of Mario Party, Mario Party 4 stands tall with a rebellious 9 out of 10.

Ultimate Custom Night, or as I like to call it, "fnaf no way home xdxdxdxdxd," delves into the realm of impossibility, earning its nickname as the "Impossiblegame." Play this, and if a psychoanalyst watches your eye movements, they might just diagnose you as schizophrenic. But hey, it's fun to play, man! The chaotic animatronic mayhem and customizable options make it an experience worth diving into. Forget the traditional scoring; let's throw a wild 9 out of 10 for the sheer thrill and unpredictability this game brings to the table.
