As Christmas Eve entered the wee hours of the night and I was still pushing through Super Mario Bros. Not exactly my first pick but for the sake of traditions, I knew Super Mario All-Stars was something I could pound through relatively quick, until I realized what I was dealing with and then I began second guessing myself. I decided, very last minute mind you, to clutch out some sort of Mario game. Good riddance.įirst things first, I seriously did not expect another Mario Christmas, but here it is - another Christmas Mario. More to the point: I want to play more of these games.Īnd with that, this mess of a year is done, or at least it will be in a few hours. It simply understands the fundamentals of what makes a great game and keeps all the unnecessary fluff out of the picture. It's easy to learn but can be tricky to master. The number two spot comes simply because of this year's low count in games beaten I fear.ġ. At the same time, it's not that different form the original and faces a lot of the same issues. Don't get me wrong, TTYD is a fantastic game, and far far superior to its predecessor. I almost feel like this one's getting the spot by default. It was a tricky balance: was there enough of the good to outweigh the bad? Yes. There's so much that angered me, but there's also so much that I loved.
Long a favorite on the Genesis, but also, long a notoriously difficult beat 'em up. Unfortunately, the game loses it's way in the second half where the "evolution" factor takes more and more of a back seat. Not a great game by any means, but does exactly what it set out to do. Eh, sounds good since I really don't have much else to say. Suppose I can just top five it and be done with it. Ten games isn't enough to allow for any sort of traditional year end list with any real substance so I'm unsure which direction to take this post. Otherwise, I'd probably jump on the Twitch train and that just isn't for me. Though, to be fair, I don't think I've ever considered myself a prolific player. It's just, so few reached the finishing line creating the illusion I'm no longer the prolific player I once was. It was still a productive year in games played and games thoroughly enjoyed.
But only pitiful in the face of games conquered. I will, however, discuss my perceptibly poor output when it comes to finishing a wide variety of video games just so I can whinge over all the details. Reasons beyond my own lack of effort within the written entity that is Beat All Games reasons I wish not to discuss as this is not that sort of forum.
