Believe it or not, I'm a huge fan of The Spoony Experiment. And yes, I have seen his reviews of FFVIII all the way through XIII. And I like them! They're hilarious, and just about every problem he points out with these games has basis. Hell, most of the time, I think he's right. But you know what? I still have fun with Final Fantasy eight, ten, and even X-2. why? Well, it's kind of hard to describe.

I like Final Fantasy the same way I like the 4Kids dub of Yu-Gi-Oh. Yes, it's nostalgic and that's part of it, but more than the botched dub, more than the aggregious Americanizations, I can still see the heart underneath. The heart of the ones who made it with love and care.

As for FFX, it's kind of the same way. The dub is awful (sorry James Arnold Taylor, I loved you as Ratchet and you really didn't have much to work with here, but Tidus really does come across as whiney and shrill,) the plotline ludicrous at points, and there are far better games with deeper stories and just as much if not more fun to be had. Why do I still recommend this game? Because it's got the same sort of feeling as the first Kingdom Hearts, a real loving energy underneath everything that tells you the ones who made it really wanted to give life to this world. I also love post-apocalyptic fantasy settings and I hardly ever see them done at such length.

So be warned, FFX is an acquired taste, and some who drink will get violently ill and spit it out almost at once. But, if you can enjoy the campy goodness of a game of Shonen: Final Burst, still watch Sailor Moon or Inu Yasha, and remember fondly the days of the Playstation 2, then you'll have a great time with this game.

Before going any further, yes. This game is bad. Objectively awful, and launched in an unacceptable state of disrepair that wasn't fixed nearly fast enough. And you know what? I. Still. Like it. Why? Cause I'm a fanboy, and I'll admit it. Aliens is my favorite movie of all time, and by the time I bought this game on sale, it was at the very least functional. Yes, the script is terrible, and so is the voice acting, programming, and overall presentation. And I barely noticed, because I was too giddy over being able to wield a pulse-rifle, and walk through so many awesome locations from the movie recreated in meticulous detail.

Let me stress this now, the level design is AMAZING. Point for point recreations of the Sulaco, and Hadley's hope draw a squee from my inner-nerd. Same goes for the art design, this is truly 80's-future-clunk fantastic. So while I suffered through the voice acting and the questionable AI, I was in dreamland, splattering xenomorphs to the sweet "drrrt drrrt drrrrrt!" of 10mm explosive-tip caseless rounds.

For everyone else, stay the hell away. For the die-hard Aliens nerd, you're gonna have some fun at the very least. Yes it's bad, it's not what we were promised, but there's enough Aliens aesthetic to keep me coming back for my fix every now and then. Here's hoping this isn't game over for games based on my favorite faction of ultimate badasses.

Is it the massive rainbow bombshell that changed the way we played shooters after twelve years of painstaking development? No, no it isn't. It's a Frankenstein of a dozen different development teams juggling the project over that time, and it shows. But, it's also Duke Nukem doing what he does best, immature, cracked out, stupid humour, sex, and violence. And I enjoyed just about all of it.

Know what you're getting into. You're playing a B-movie, and it knows it. Is it as bad as the reviews said? Hell no, click-bait journalists will jump on whatever the new target for mindless hatred is. It's not a great game, but it made me laugh, and when I finished it, I thought "Huh. That was fun."

Yeah multiplayer is dead, but it was dead on launch day. Buy it when it's on sale, blow away some pig-cops, punch Christian Bale in the face, and chuckle at the outdated Halo and Deadspace jokes. It's certainly worth at least one playthrough.

Pacman with an awesome twist. Just enough of a new spin to make a timeless game even more fun. The point-gasm you'll get from firing off a massive ghost-eating combo can't be replicated by anything else.

As someone who's never played a Metal Gear Solid game for longer than five minutes before now, who skipped this game when it came out because I thought it was going to be impossible to understand and didn't think I would enjoy it, play this game. It's high quality action, stealth (optional most of the time), private army managing fun. The backstory for the uninitiated is nicely covered in audio logs, and isn't essential to enjoy this game. It's also one of the best optimized games I've ever played, running at consistantly high frame rates on machine BELOW the minimum system specs listed without changing any of the graphics options from default. Play MGS V. It's quality with a capital Q.

Terminal Reality has produced quite a few turds, no denying that. But, as the Nerd might say, this one was the diamond in the ♥♥♥♥. Faithful, entertaining, hilarious, a little spooky, and worthy of bearing the name Ghostbusters. If you like the movie, you'll like the game. Don't know how the third movie will bear, but in my heart, this is the true third installment of the series.

A lot of folks say this is the best way to learn the rules of the game. I say find a friend with excess cards, make a deck from their spares, learn with friends. this wasn't worth the price at launch, it's still kinda meh now. Also, seriously? This is easy. Remake or even rerelease the original Shandalar. You'll be rich, we'll be happy, everyone wins.

Own most of the businesses in the free world, still can't subject people to my subliminal messages proclaiming me king high emperor of ♥♥♥♥ mountain. 0/10 least realistic game ever.
