I wouldn't use his reviews as a basis to buy or avoid a game. Anyway most Bionic Commando gamers probably loved the original and couldn't care less.

A few of mates never played the NES game and have fallen in love with Rearmed.

The thing is... there was a conversion of the arcade version of Bionic Commando on the C64. I was disappointed that Rearmed was a remake of some NES sequel.

The arcade game and the C64 bionic commando are pretty average. I'm glad they did the nes game, it's far better.

The Nes version won't get my nostalgia gland pumping though. I used to play that game a lot on the C64.

Indeed there was, another game I wasted hours on. Listening to the clip it feels like it was only yesterday I played it, the C64 had the best in game music at the time. I remember even recording some of them onto tape to play back at my leisure.

Following a dangerous trend that the Too Human review started of an average review with a great last 10 seconds. Wasn't too enamoured

Latest review is up:Mercs 2

quarryman · 01-10-2008 07:40PM

I liked that one. Actually made think the game might be worth a try which the online reviews didn't.

An Irish chopper pilot who runs away when the enemy throw anything bigger then a scone at him

I lol'd over the bugs he mentioned because they did sound genuinely funny

Tar.Aldarion · 02-10-2008 07:45AM

loved this weeks. few laugh out loud moments.

madrab · 02-10-2008 08:58AM

Yeah very funny review this week, & for as much as he was bashing it he kept referring to it as fun

Krieg · 02-10-2008 12:47PM

He so right with the "But I might need it later" ethic

I am such a victim to this, doesn't matter what game I always hoard as much resources as possible using the smallest weapon possible in order to preserve the big 'f- off' guns
and then the game ends...

Tar.Aldarion · 02-10-2008 06:36PM

yeah i always had everrything in final fantasy, everything! never ususing any even when I had 99.

Retr0gamer · 02-10-2008 07:07PM

I blame Resident Evil.

dloob · 03-10-2008 10:13PM

I had the helicopter pad problem too. You think, hey a helipad perfect place to bring in the commandos, and then they all walk off the edge and fall six bloody feet to their deaths. :pac:

Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Ah the poor Wii.... Slight graphical downgrade.

Laughed alot in this... good stuff!

Shiminay · 08-10-2008 08:51PM

Laughed a lot at this one alright, excellent stuff.

Necronomicon · 08-10-2008 09:44PM

This was my favourite in a long time. His Lucas-bashing in particular was hilarious.

kaimera · 09-10-2008 07:05AM

quality review.

Him being to be pissed off with the wii is teh funneh

Hilarious stuff; stick to the end, that in particular had me laughing out loud in the office

kaimera · 15-10-2008 06:15PM

bwahahaha...epic today; pld!

I really need to play this & finish the first one

Dyr · 15-10-2008 09:52PM

best one in a long time, the wee mans in cracking form.

funny that those russki developers havent learned from the mistakes of the first stalker it seems, I'll be giving Clear Sky a bodyswerve

Sarky · 15-10-2008 11:20PM

Your loss, it's a damned immersive game and well worth a shot.

Accurate review, though, it's pretty rough around the edges, and murderously hard.

Dyr · 15-10-2008 11:49PM

I played SOC and I just lost interest, the storyline was nonexistant most fo the time even if the environments and atmosphere was amazing. It did give me one of the finest "oooooh sh*t f**k f**k f***k runrunrun" moments that i ever experienced in a game

quarryman · 16-10-2008 05:45PM

Brilliant ending. brilliant.
