Well, it's not really a game, but I love the film "Super Mario Bros."

And I don't mean that in the sense that I like to have friends over and watch it while pretending that we are anywhere near as funny as the MST3K crew. I actually, legitimately, and honestly like the film.

This guy gets it. To this day I am holding out hopes for the sequel the ending promised us.

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Sure, the game is far from perfect, but the humor really made up for it to me. And it isn't like the game is as bad as people say it is to begin with.

King of Fighters XII. I've heard people actually say this game is worse than King of Fighters 2001. Have they actually played either? Sure, it's not as good as either King of Fighters XI or King of Fighters 98, but it's kinda rough trying to top either of those games. At the very least, KOFXII is the most balanced fighting game I've played in a very, very long time - possibly ever.
I just beat Eat Lead and I found it pretty amusing. I appreciated the humour a lot as well. The messages during the loading screens were cute. Because I rented it, I made the mistake of playing the game on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies. I did, but it was a very very painful process and I probably would have appreciated the game more had I just played it on normal.

was the SNES one the one that's like a first person flying game? Cuz if that's the one you mean... then you are crazy. I played it for a few minutes and was totally baffled by it.

Here we go though: I love Sewer Shark. Love it. From the acting, to shooting the tubes, I love all of it. It's fun, challenging, and entertaining.
I probably owned about 20 SegaCD games back in the day, and Sewer Shark is easily one of my favorites. Great game.

I tried to like that game. I found the dodge button in that game highly amusing. All of the enemy encounters turned into running around in the level till I came across an enemy and then doing the forward dodge meneauver which was really an incredible belly flop that had Ice hit the floor with such force that her face, and the rest of her body would actually bounce upon impact. Then begin shooting away. I got stuck within the first ten minutes or so becuase I couldn't interact with the door for some reason. I wasted a lot of time running around examining the entire area before scratching my head because I couldn't have missed anything. I restarted the level and this time the action prompt came up. I did nothing differently. I dismissed it till I came across another point where I got stuck. After shooting down a helicopter in a fight, you run back towards a door. I died three times because I kept hitting the wrong button and fired a rocket that hit the floor and killed me. At this point I got frustrated and had to stop playing.

I've always been intrigued by this game but I can never justify buying it. Maybe if I find it for around $3, but that hasn't happened yet. Looks like a fun, no frills 3rd person shooter and I'm a sucker for those.

Haha thats it, its like half a 2d run n' gun and half a first person flyer/shooter. I Definitely enjoy this game
