5 - I love that, a personal fave!
4 - Oh yeah, that's good
3 - Average, decent, does the job
2 - Below par
1 - Rotten waste of time

The Eyes of Ara (2016) - Rated 14 Aug 2025
"The Eyes of Ara is an independent game (one-man) that plays like an escape room. It features a quiet environment, a mystery the player is interested in unraveling, and collectables. The major drawback is that some of the puzzles are illogical, particularly as the player progresses into later rooms. Some puzzles are not hinted, and in some cases very niche outside knowledge is required to even consider what the game is asking."
World of Warcraft (2005) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"I'll credit WoW for being the global success it was, but this is a personal score, and I just don't like MMOs."
The Godfather (2006) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"Far from the worst IP tie-in that's been made. Without the theming, it would be a highly forgettable action game trying to cash in on GTA."
New Super Mario Bros. (2006) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"Made multiplayer Mario actually fun."
Pokémon Diamond & Pearl (2006) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"A big uptick in quality from gen 3. Some good design choices and surprisingly good music. One of the best versions of Pokemon."
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (2007) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"Impressive for a PSP title. Has limitations and repetitions you would expect. It's great to expand on Zack's story. What a main character. The ending, incorporating gameplay in its story telling, is top notch."
Rock Band (2007) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (2007) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
Madden NFL 12 (2011) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"Played it on Wii. Don't.... don't play Madden on Wii."
Fruit Ninja (2010) - Rated 27 Jun 2025
"Struck while the iron was hot. Touch screens were now commonplace, and a funny simple premise had us all hooked. Then we stopped."
