GHOSTBUSTERS the Video Game 360
Super Mario Bros. NES
Contra Rebirth WiiWare
Tetris Gameboy
Star Wars Force Unleashed 360
Street Fighter II T.E 360 arcade
Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis
Contra NES
THPS Play Station
Ninja Gaiden NES
Blaster Master Overdrive *new* WiiWare

Holy shit was this game something else. I think every boss battle after level 3 lasted at least 8 minutes, and although you have a map, prepared to get lost anyway. The game is cheap, the original music was better, the sound effects were also better, no real exploration during the bird's eye view.

And did I mention the game is cheap? And frustrating. But it's one of those games that has pissed me off so much that I had to complete it. Usually I find myself somewhat elated after beating a game, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Not with Blaster Master Overdrive (and the ending stinks!). Even after beating it, I was cursing at it.

The best way to describe this game is to abbreviate it. It's a BM Overdrive.

Yes, I get to add another game to this list. Another one that was a long time coming. I beat Sonic 2 for the first time today.

Years ago I had gotten to the final boss once or twice and sucked. Last night I decide to play a game, not really planning on playing seriously. Then a few levels in I realized I had 10+ lives and had cleared many levels with over a 100 rings and thus had some continues built up. I lost a lot of lives on the Wing Fortress zone and then some more remembering how to play against Metal Sonic. Ultimately I didn't beat it that night even though I got maybe 5 or 6 hits on Robotnik on my final life.

So based on my performance on Robotnik yesterday (having learned his pattern) I demolished the game today. 12 lives and all my continues remaining. Now I still need to beat Sonic 1, heh.

Im actually kinda surprised you beat sonic 2 and not sonic 1. Sonic 1 is easier i think.

Well I always put more time into Sonic 2 when I was younger. I think its hard to accumulate lives in Sonic 1. Once I get more used to the levels after Marble Zone I can play them more quickly and not lose lives exploring them and finding the secrets.

I haven't decided yet if the next game I'll tackle will be Ristar or Sonic 1. Maybe Sonic 1 just because it should be easier to do, then Ristar.

I had a blast with this game, and still am! I played through all of the grand prix cups and got 1st place in every one of them, so I guess you could say I beat the game. Now I'm working on unlocking all of the racers and music that I don't have yet. My wife and I love this cart racer! Play it if you haven't yet!

Half Life 2: Episode 1- Xbox 360
Half Life 2: Episode 2- Xbox 360
19XX- Final Burn Alpha
Gigawing- Final Burn Alpha
Trigger Heart Exelica- DC
Battle Bakraid- Final Burn Alpha

After I beat these shmups I realize how much I suck at them :x

The ending of Half Life 2: Episode 2 feels kind of incomplete, anyway HL2 + episode 1 & 2 has one of the best story lines that Ive played in a long time.
