The idea shamelessly swiped from a mutual friend of mine on Dreamwidth, rionaleonhart. You should also check out their Neocities site, https://balambgdn.neocities.org/, because sites like these need more love.
It’s little reviews for video games they have played! All I did was narrow down the scope to games I still have lying around, for whatever generations the Playstation, Playstation 2 and XBox 360 are. I forget. oh and the DS!
Borderlands 2
An outlier in my tastes; I typically ignore FPSes. But I found the world immersive and Claptrap is my BFF.
pew pew/10
Chrono Cross
I did the unforgivable sin of playing this without having played Chrono Trigger, so I was able to avoid the psychic damage this "sequel" did to the fanbase. I love parallel worlds and time travel hijinks, and pondering the meaning of life.
In Another World we would’ve had Chrono Break by now/10
Crash Bandicoot: WARPED
is the easiest and the only CB title I actually saw the end credits for.
No Floaty Jumps/10
Crash Team Racing
Oh, you got "Mario Kart at home (derogatory)"? Give me the controller imma smoke your stupid ass for disrespecting my boy.
mario clone (affectionately)/10
DDR Max
I snatched this up from a Goodwill because, DDR. Duh.
Dancepad PLOX/10
Katamari Damacy
omfg this is the funnest game I have ever played
rollin’/10
Left 4 Dead 1 and 2
The only game where I break my "never play online with anyone else ever" rule. It’s that enjoyable for me.
pills here/10
Legend of Dragoon
Cliches, Predictability, Lack of Polish due to lax QA– these are the demons you must slay if you dream about a sequel. And yet, I jumped anyone who compared Dart to Cloud Strife and otherwise defended its existence.
Lavitz 4 Life/10
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
For the prestige (and consolation prize for never picking up Silver Star Story). However, it’s still a great game in its own right– compelling, charming, and a classic for a reason.
classic/10
Bonus: REJOICE! Just be sure to get the physical copies. …There better be physical copies.
Final Fantasy VII
Nathan, you ass, I still know you got my original black-label copy and I know someone who builds potato guns. Don’t fucking play me. Give it back.
eco-terrorist/10
Final Fantasy VIII
It came out in 8th grade when puberty hit me like a truck. Wait. What does that have to do with anything? I mean… whatever.
gas leak joke/10
Final Fantasy X
One of my favorite worlds to play around in, because I adore the aesthetic and all that spiraling about death touched my lil baby Goth heart.
HA HA HA HA/10
Final Fantasy X-2
I’m sorry for all the hate I threw at it, I didn’t know any better, please take me back. GUIDE DANG IT!
Good Vibes/10
Final Fantasy XIII
DNF. I’d rather read all the sapphic fanfic this game inspired.
not applicable
Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3
Garrus Dating Simulator
play on PC/10
Nintendogs
ALL DOGS ARE PUPPER
pupper/10
Persona 3: FES
I understood the appeal of this series. It’s so rad.
Nintendo Hard/10
Pokemon HeartGold
Waitaminute this is my siblings?! My copy of Pearl is around here somewhere…
not applicable
Ring Fit Adventure
This got me moving in the cold months, and as the year closes I’ll be picking it up again. Maybe I’ll actually finish the main storyline!
surprisingly fun/10
Note: This is the only Switch game I own a physical copy of, and that’s because I’m the only one of our household to use it consistently. That is something I need to fix.
Robotech: Battlecry
I only snatched this up for $2 because, Robotech. It sits next to my boxed DVDs of the TV series.
not applicable: if Metacritic is to be believed, it’s merely average
Silent Hill HD Edition
uh I am an absolute weenie and never actually played this. Then I caught wind of all its issues, and it stays unplayed.
not applicable, but I should pick up the remake.
Sonic Mega Collection
It exists.
shrug/10
Spyro 1, 2, and 3
Really fun, and funny, should be the blueprint for the 3D platform experience.
What the Fuck did they do to the physics in the remaster damn it/10
Tekken Tag Tournament
My first foray into the Tekken series; I got this along with the PS2 for such good grades in school. :3 I’m guilty of button mashing, tho. I am that stereotype.
Eddy is God/10
Unlimited Saga
Or was it this one I had an irrational hate toward? Anyway, please accept my apology. I love your soundtrack (and Laura). Wildly underrated, in retrospect.
Hamauzu/10
We Love Katamari
omfg this is the funnest game I have ever played
rollin’ squared/10
Xenogears
Actually all I heard about it scared me off and I never actually even started a game but I kept it around because…
Cool I Guess/10
Xenosaga 1
Had jank, unfortunate shorts, questionable tropes, phallic imagery, and all the technobabble you could shake a stick at and yes, I stayed up til 3am reading every single line. But still, pretty solid.
a girl and her robot/10
Xenosaga 3
Mad that the series ends here because this is where it finally hit its stride. We could’ve been feasting on this sci-fi odyssey, babes.
One a scale of 1 to Google Reader getting the axe, this is an easy 8.8/10
And then there are the games that Still Take Up Inventory… In My Heart.
The Bouncer
had so much potential it just didn’t meet, but I love the characters anyway.
Siioooooooon/10
Final Fantasy IX
ashamed that this is on my DNF list, but I can play 99.5% of it and still tell you that it’s vibes are immaculate. Chef’s fucking kiss.
recommend/10
Final Fantasy XII
Mjao, can you give it back please? I like the shiny tin cover and stuff.
not applicable… I never got around to playing it
Lunar: Dragon Song
Still mad as shit about this one.
-5/10
Okage: Shadow King
I don’t know where my copy went to, but I remember getting stuck on a boss and DNFing it. I’m bummed that I never did complete it.
Quirky and Cute/10
Star Ocean: Til the End of Time
DNF despite recognizing Shion’s VA (I think). I got bored.
meh/10
Xenosaga 2
I regret pawning it only because of the awkward space between I and III. I feel incomplete.
obligatory/10
So… yeah! What are some of your tiny reviews of the games that you own?
