[quote="Blank"]Ah, well.
But I'm serious, I never had the patience to stick it out and catch Carmen Sandiego. Kinda curious as to what happens. Of course I could google it, but I think I'll have funnier BS responses here.[/quote]
I have [i]Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?[/i] for SNES. It's an okay game when you're smart enough to use the encyclopedia that comes with it to play. As a kid, bouncing around an encyclopedia to proceed, even at all, didn't exactly equal fun. Basically, I only popped it in back then to play around with the coffee machine in the lobby.
I actually caught some poor sumbitch when I popped it in recently. IT FELT AWESOME. Maybe I'll get the hankering to catch Carmen myself, sometime.
Also, good job getting in the magazine, AA, I remember that letter. I have NP too. They gave Heatseeker an early review of 7.5, which I'm comfortable with. SATSR got way too high of a score, an 8.5. (LOL BULLSHIT) I guess Nintendo Power wanted it to be OMG fuckwin, and when it turned out to be only okay, and somewhat frustrating in parts, they just decided to go with their over-scoring antics to entice the kiddies. I'd say it was a 7/10 at the very most, and while I don't regret buying it, I'm just not terribly compelled to play it right now.
Damn Heatseeker looks fun. Anybody hear about Resident Evil 4 going on the Wii for 30$? If it has the PS2 extras, I'd bury that hook right into my brain, no bait necessary.
I get it because it comes with my EB card, but they are really bitchy reviewers. Not humorous or clever with putdowns, just bitchy. Sometimes they just half-ass reviews too, like the game Quickspot. They gave it a 7.5, and a little mini blurb of a review about how it reminds him of highlights magazine, "dadda dadda, honestly, there isn't much else to this game." 7.5 seems like a great damn score for something that has "annoying nursery rhyme music", and "It's not the kind of game I would buy a Nintendo to play." NP reviewed Quickspot as well, and gave it a 5.5, and a more informative review. Good job, good rating, except for the GLARING SHITPILES AND FIBS in the SATSR review in the same issue. "The controls are unbelievably intuitive...", "Even as the game progresses and gets more challenging, [b][i]the remote maintains it's percision and doesn't leave you frustrated."[/i][/b]
