Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Therefore, this week’s review is for Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes by Konami for the Gamecube. I remember when I was a wee lad and this game was first released and I said, “I’d never buy this crap!” Now, after several years of maturity, I said, “I’d never buy this crap…for full price!” And so, a compromise was made with a Blockbuster Gift Card and life continued. Back to the game, what could be said about Metal Gear Solid, other than its spawining of overdone box and “idiot guard” jokes? Course, the thing that motivated me to play this game was the same motivation for me playing FF7, to see if the game truly lived up to all the hype. Did it now?

WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Games

My 100th review is for WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Games Nintendo for the Gamecube. Now, I know that you all take one look at it and what it has and think, “Why should I get that? That game is exactly the same as the GBA Wario Ware.” However, we all fail to realize that WarioWare on GBA is cocaine in its purest form. In that case, the GC version is refined concaine, or crack. Now, how exactly could you make WarioWare better? You add a multiplayer. That’s how! The learning curve is probably the closest to 180 degress that games in this current state would ever get to. WarioWare’s simple design make it the ultimate party game. Even those that have never played a game in their life or have become completely intoxicated could play Wario Ware. Course, if you are a loner like me, single player might be better staying on the portable side, but it’s still pretty good. Read the rest of this entry »
