SSF works marvelously if you're got the horsepower.

I would honestly say that the SSF is far more reliable than the Playstation 2 emulator now. After having my poor Saturn die, I have relied on playing my games on an emulator and have had zero slowdown or graphical issues. With the PS2, sure things do run smoothly for MOST games, but some have severe issues that make them unplayable like Metal Gear Solid 2, Racket and Clank and on and on. I would say that 90% work well, but some of the big name titles don't work so hot.

The most recent SSF version has worked really really well for all the good stuff.

The Riddler missions in Arkham Knight are tedious and boring. The take on the Riddler is great, but the missions (especially the ones with the batmobile) are not so good.

This game does showcase the coolest Batman cape yet. Even the menu when you pause the game looks great, but the game itself isn't on par with the last two.

I'm still playing my Master System, so this game's looks blow my mind, but overall it's not that much fun. Batman should be stealthy busting up tough gangs of thugs and real big baddies, and not easily punching random gangs and playing guess who with Catwoman.

If you buy all of the PopCap collections for the Xbox 360, you will have two copies of the following games:

Bejeweled 3;
Feeding Frenzy 2;
Peggle; and
Zuma.

You will have only one copy of the following games:

Astro Pop;
Bejeweled 2;
Bejeweled Blitz;
Feeding Frenzy;
Heavy Weapon;
Plants vs. Zombies; and
Zuma's Revenge.

I just thought I would share this completely useless information.

I was a big Zuma's Revenge guy back in 2006-2007.

I just picked up PopCap Arcade Vol. 2 this morning. I still need Plants vs. Zombies, but once I have it, I will have all of the PopCap collections for the Xbox 360. The collections are:

Bejeweled 3
Plants vs. Zombies
PopCap Arcade Vol. 1
PopCap Arcade Vol. 2
Zuma's Revenge

There's a good Zuma knockoff on the tablets these days called Sparkle HD.

Can Zuma even be knocked off? It's basically a knockoff of Magnetica/Puzz Loop.

Didn't expect Golden Sun to have as awesome of a musical score as it seems to have thus far (45 mins in)

So after completing the original Jurassic Park for Genesis, I decided to revisit Rampage Edition. I beat it as the Raptor as a kid but am remembering why I never beat it as Grant... no continues and the first level is just annoying with the tons of pterodactyls that bring you back to the start of the stage. Even if you hit a checkpoint, dying most likely means some random pterodactyl carrying you to the start. I got through it but it's annoying. And then you die in a later level and have go through it all again... and if it happens again, THAT FIRST LEVEL ANOTHER TIME. Let it be known: I like having continues.

But the gameplay is so much better than the first one. I'm not going to play this game for serious, but it was fun to play a couple levels of for the first time in years.
