Pretty meaty 7 hour demo. Progress carry on to full game. Anyone check it out?

some bits are good, some bits are head scratchers, a real mixed bag

Another Kart Klone It’s cool that you can race land, sea, and air. But everything else about it feels really uninteresting from characters to weapons to tracks. Adventure mode is a nice addition, but it is ruined with busy work filler like the silver coins challenge, which rehashes the same content just to pad things out.

I don’t think hockey games really have original bangers if you don’t count the “jock jams” to get you hyped. I could be missing something, but there isn’t a moon theme or dr wily stage 1 for shredding ice. Most of the ost is generic fanfare and ambient sounds

Sonic in Christmas Nights almost made up for not getting a proper Sonic game on

Underated banger

Palworld

It was good, but Castle Crashers was a blast

I played thru it just over a year ago. It is a good title, but the level design takes a hit. Instead of an interconnected world, it is broken down in about 20 or so bite size areas, most of which are very basic with little room for exploration. Heck a couple of them are just a straight hallway. The last third of the game is a rather meaty castle, which makes up for a lot of the early filler areas.

Aria and Dawn are fantastic. Almost as good as SotN. The ability to use enemy skills is a lot of fun to experiment with, makes you want to find them all.

Now to send it off to get it VGA graded

Death's Door, TMNT Shredder's Revenge, Dead Cells, Oxenfree, Moonlighter, and Spiritfarer are solid

Use your phone. Or pair controller to your phone. Xbox, PS4, 8bitdo, or any Bluetooth should work.

It's not streaming. You download and play them on your device. No ads, no micro transactions. A few good titles are there. Not a bad bonus if you have Netflix Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass are good too.

He is the star of the series and seems like he is having the most fun he has had since the 90's

I’ll be jamming to the MJ soundtrack all day

I’m more miffed about the Chipmunk movie being nowhere on streaming and dvds going for like $100

Sorry Peaches, you aren’t the best song from the Mario movie

Kane and Lynch though we had fun mocking it in retrospect

Missed the boat on this one. If there is a remake or remaster I’ll check it out.
