LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias
The main thing holding back Winter of the Melodias is that it’s very clearly the second installment of a series that was intended to be treated episodically.
Super Paper Mario
I find myself agreeing with Super Paper Mario’s initial mixed reception.
BIT.TRIP BEAT
BIT.TRIP BEAT attempts to answer the question, “What if Pong was a rhythm game?” It could have done so a lot more gracefully.
Vectorman
Vectorman is pretty fucking rad. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually play that well.
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People
Each episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People makes for a decently enjoyable few hours.
ToeJam & Earl
The selling point of ToeJam & Earl in 1991 was how thoroughly strange it was, and that’s a feature that hasn’t aged a day.
Dynamite Headdy
This game is insane even by Treasure’s usual unbridled standards.
Samurai Shodown
It’s not much of an overstatement to say that I despise traditional fighting games, but I’m slightly more amenable to Samurai Shodown.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame
I think I’ll have to file the Traveller’s Tales LEGO games in with the games I respect more than I enjoy.
Kirby’s Dream Course
Kirby’s Dream Course is a complete, rewarding, and original title, instead of a branded reskin of an existing product.
