  1. I only played this for the first time maybe a year or two ago. I thought it was pretty good but not amazing, I beat it in one sitting. But my 5 year old son started playing games last year and this is the first one he picked up, it's his favorite game, so now it has a special place for me. 8/10
  2. I wouldn't say I'm a huge sports guy but I enjoy them. I've followed NFL pretty intently for years. I used to follow NBA when I was a kid in the 90s but haven't watched in years. I loosely follow MLB, I get pretty hyped in the first 1/3 of the season but lose interest until the playoffs pretty much. And NHL is more of a recent interest which I enjoy a lot but don't have the history with it. That said sports are kind of a third string hobby for me after gaming and comics and I barely have enough time for those two. As far as playing sports goes, I've never had that opportunity. I wanted to play baseball when I was younger but my parents never could be bothered taking me or letting me sign up. On top of that I never got to do anything during gym class because I was constantly bullied and picked last every time they had to pick teams. So aside from shooting hoops in front of my house or throwing a baseball or football around the yard, I've never played any sport. And finally bringing me to sports games, growing up I never liked them much. I liked the Mario sports games like Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, etc. and arcade versions of sports like NBA Jam and NFL Blitz but I've never liked simulation sports games. It was only last year that I got into MLB The Show and I ended up loving it. I also got a Madden but I'm terrible with picking plays so I can't say I love it but I do like playing during NFL's off season just to keep my football fandom going.
  3. I have not watched a new episode in probably 20 years. I watched it some growing up and liked it, and I've been rewatching some old episodes here and there over the last year or so, and I like the show when it's good but I never loved it. Today respect how relevant it's stayed throughout 35 seasons and just the overall cultural impact of it but I've met a bunch of hardcore Simpsons fans and I could never get on that level of fandom.
  4. I just watched a video and I am now terrified. Can't vote on this because there's no option for never played and wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
  5. I don't know enough about classical music to tell you the names but Catherine on PS3 features several classical tunes (and the soundtrack as a whole is amazing). And Eternal Sonata on PS3/XBox 360 is basically a love letter to Chopin.
  6. Agreed. Crash 2 is the peak of the series. Crash 1 is definitely more challenging IMO but 2 is the perfect balance. 3 was too easy imo. Crash is one of my favorite series even through all the ups and downs. 10/10 easy.
  7. Hold up. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought December 1963 was a Billy Joel song. I had NO idea until this moment Frankie Valli did the original. I never liked Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, I hate the way he sings. You know what I'm talking about. But honestly never checked out his solo stuff which I actually seem to know a few of the songs and they're good! Grease is one I knew, I've heard the song so many times on Muzak at work but never knew it was Frankie Valli. Huh. The more you know. 6/9/8
  8. I never understood the hype or popularity around this movie. I've watched it several times and never liked it
  9. 9 Jason's out of 10. I dunno I guess I'm in the minority but I love this game. Maybe I'm basing it off the first time I played it when the concept was fresh and really felt like watching a movie. I haven't played it in probably 10 years but I loved every minute with it.
  10. Oof poor Ristar. I love that game to death but Bloodlines is also very good. I take it not enough people played Ristar though. It probably my favorite Genesis game.
  11. I think Kid Chameleon is just okay. Certainly better than TJ&E. I just never understand the praise that game got.
  12. Duran Duran just reminds me of my retail jobs Muzak so I can only associate them with work. Otherwise they'd probably be rated a little higher. 5/10, 7/10 respectively.
  13. Gonna be honest I never understood the appeal of Toe Jam and Earl. Kid Chameleon is way more fun imo
  14. 17 But to be fair I only counted movies I've sat and watched the whole thing through. There are a lot of movies here I've seen pieces of or know references from. Like, I've never seen the entirety of the Godfather, but I've seen parts of it on TV, heard so many references to it, and heard people talk about it that I feel like I have seen it even though I haven't. I'm also just not a big movie guy.
  15. Blondie is great and Heart of Glass is one of their biggest songs. 8/10 That other one I've heard but it annoys me every time I hear it. 4/10
  16. First game I ever played and one I enjoyed back in the day. Even now it's nostalgic but it's just not fun for more than 2 minutes. Like ok really much all Atari games I'm just not that into it these days. 5/10
  17. One of my absolute favorite games, easily my favorite racing game, I still think it's leagues better than any version of Mario Kart and it's honestly crazy to me that Nintendo still has yet to implement an adventure mode in Mario Kart. The hype I had when this game was coming out was unmatched by pretty much any game of the era. I replay this game every few years in its entirety and it simply never gets old. 10/10
  18. Maybe now that's the general consensus but in the 90s and early 00s that's all I heard is how great it was.
  19. Absolutely amazing movie. Slow start but when it picks up it's seriously good. Best sci Fi and horror combination out there. 9/10
  20. I think, most overrated 2D Sonic game. I remember reading for years how so many people think this is the absolute best game in the series. I never owned a Sega CD so I didn't get to play it til many many years later, only within the last 10 years. And I was excited to play it... only to be really let down. I honestly don't enjoy it. The time warp mechanic is a cool idea but doesn't add anything except annoying complexity. Music is also a step down from sonic 1-3 and S&K. I don't hate it I just think it's unmemorable especially compared to other 2D Sonics. 5/10
  21. Agreed it should have one of the best. But it's definitely one of my least favorites. Forgot to mention Fi, who was by far the worst companion character. The game did have a few good moments, specifically a few dungeons. The concept of the game and the motion controls seemed great but it caused way more problems than it should have.
