Yknow, I never thought it was possible to make Labyrinth Zone even more of a slog than it was, like w o w.
Anyways, this game sucks.

The game that I always was bad at playing.

The spider still freaks me out in this game.

Probably the idea alone can save this one from calling it the worst, but at least they tried to mix up the dying James Bond game scene on the PS1 with a new idea.

007 Racing is a full fledged vehicle mayhem, where you need to control Bond's famous cars in order to kill everything, and race against nothing, despite the game being called 007 Racing.

Wonky controls, borderline insane designs and the janky nature of it makes this one just as bad as The World is Not Enough.

don't play this without save states, worst mistake of my life

If you couldn't tell already by my name and PFP, I fucking ADORE the Mega Man franchise. It is without a doubt my favorite THING of all time, and while I may not have played every game in the series, the ones I have played are enough to win me over immensely.

However, with that being said, I can take off my love goggles for a second and see that for the original Mega Man has aged a lot, especially after 30 years. It is the first in the series I have played, so I do have a bit of a soft spot for it, and I do love the game, but regardless, it has problems.

The story, if you even know what it is, is simple, and it gets you excited, the graphics are pretty good, the music is very catchy and iconic, the control is pretty good, except for your somewhat slippery movement, the gameplay is fun as fuck and addicting, and the ending is simple, but nice.

However, it has a lot of issues. The level design is very poor, especially compared to later entries, the enemy placement is obnoxious, the special weapons, with a few exceptions, aren't really that useful outside of bosses, the bosses themselves range from being pathetically easy to ridiculously hard, some of the enemies are just a pain, and THAT FUCKING COVER ART. At least in the US, it is hilariously awful.

Nonetheless, like I said earlier, it was the first Mega Man game I ever played, and it does hold a special place in my heart, so I'll give it a higher rating then it deserves.

Overall, while it may not be perfect by any means, this game is still really fun and addicting to this day, and it was the wonderful start to my favorite franchise of all time.

Game #18

It makes the playing experience SO much better.



Honestly I'm not really willing to write a full Warcraft 1 review right now, even though I fucking love the game more than it deserves and I beat it multiple times, and I pored a lot of hours into researching it for the betterment of the entire Internet(but those are stories for another day), but I will just make it brief: Warcraft, even with the dumb story twists in WoW, even with the attrocities that Blizzard regularly commits, is a stunning and captivating story that impacted my life. I might have started with Warcraft 2 but I have immense respect for the OG and I still play it every now and then. It might be far from a relevant game anymore but this little gem was the source of many of my inspirations and fueled my career milestones in a strange way. So that's why I feel so connected and grateful to it.

So I'd really like to see all the hacking efforts people made in making this game that much more accessible. The mouse mod is a fine start. I want to see how much further it can go.

P.S.: If you've ever contemplating an interest into getting into this whole "Warcraft" thing but are worried about the size of the games and its universe, please talk to me. I should know, I'm a big fan since 1995 and the interest in it hasn't gone down by one bit.

the flowers aren't as annoying as you think

It's just pure and unadultered fun, man. You've got yourself a pretty good recompilation of classic Rhythm Paradise bangers, and this is just a feel-good game overall.
The major flaw this has are the door guardians, which literally gatekeep the rest of the game with mini games that need coins to be played, and they tend to be hard as balls when you can't practice them a lot.
Besides that, it's pretty good
Also shout-out to the Ashley plush you go girl!!!
