A minimalist review for bit.trip beat (WSHP)
This game:  Is hard.  Blows my mind.  Has fantastic music.   Reminds me of Rez HD.  Wins the Emmy for most eyestrain.   Has motion control that doesn't suck.  Has distracting backgrounds, presumably on purpose. Should be called bit.trip pong.  Maybe pong is copyrighted? Justifies the creation of a paddle attachment for the Wiimote.  Does at least 12 things with a pong blip I ...

A beat 'em up mmo (PC)
A beat 'em up mmo.  That really says it all.  If you don't like brawlers, then there's no point in going any further.  This is a straight up brawler, streets of rage style.  And it's a good one too.  Leaving everything else aside, it is fun to wander around and ...

Great Karate Champ clone; also good for scaring friends (C64)
This game played almost identically to the arcade game Karate Champ.  It was impressive that it was able create a decent (at the time) one on one fighting game using a one button Atari 2600 style joystick.  It was also good for scaring the crap out of my friends.  When the ...

A quick playthough isn't terrible... (X360)
I actually liked this more than I expected, which is to say I didn't completely hate it.  I actually bought this game for my Dad, from the bargain bin, because he pretty much exclusively plays shooters and does appear to have any discernment as to quality.  He let me borrow ...

It's not you, it's me (XBLM)
This is an amazing game.  As a shoot 'em up it plays perfectly, and it's binary color mode mechanic is unique.  But boy is it hard.  Not difficult.  Like abusive.  Like, my gamer self esteem can only take so much.  But as I said it's executed so well there is ...

Time to atone for my youth (C64)
The release of California Games on the virtual console is the first opportunity I've had to make up for the massive piracy of my youth.  It's the first such release that I remember playing.  And pretty much, if  I remember playing it I was playing a pirated copy.  The first C64 ...

Tops Oblivion in every way but one. (X360)
This game is a phenomenal achievement.  Oblivion is my all time favorite RPG, and Fallout is as good or better in almost every way.  The graphics are better.  The sound is fantastic.  I absolutely love the radio stations, both the songs and the DJ's.  The voice acting is generally excellent.  ...

Take me down! (X360)
This game is amazing.  The graphics are amazing.  The crashing is the best crashing I've seen.  The races are fun.  Road Rage is super fun.  I'm no good at the stunt runs but I like screwing around.I don't judge this game for what it isn't.  It isn't a circuit racer.  ...

Games of the Year (X360)
I had the pleasure of coming to Orange Box as a huge fan of the original Halflife but never having played it's sequel.  Halflife 2 came out at a time when I was transitioning away from PC gaming.  While I felt some regret at the time I'm glad I got ...

Per game dollar valuation (X360)
There are so many games of such widely varying type and quality, I'm just going to assign a monetary value to each game I've played so far and see what I get.  I never had a Genesis nor have I purchased any of these games on VC or XBLA so ...
