I'm a big fan of the Phoenix Wright series despite the rest of evilbore denouncing it as animu tripe.

I also

Shenmue

I like Phoenix Wright. Some of them are better than others, and I have yet to play the Apollo Justice one, though.

fps games on the wii

i am fond of the control scheme for those particular types of games even though the wii remote's inaccuracy can be frustrating and the blurry graphics are just...blurry

can't wait until ms does fps waggle correctly with the xaggle

I liked Phoenix Wright in the beginning, but by the end I hated it.

Yes metroid prime had bad controls and some unintuitive backtracking here and there but its one of my favorite games of all time. Every few months I crave another runthrough. I think the haters just miss samus' aerial acrobatic movement from the 2d games. I still don't think shinesparking and being able to walljump anywhere would've worked even if prime was in third person.

Smash Bros, Shenmue (I never played 2, and I haven't played it since 2001 so who knows if it held up or not, but it was certainly unique at the time), some Kirby games...

Speaking of kirby, apparently I should be ashamed for liking Kirby's Canvas Curse. I don't get that, it was awesome.

is this basically asking what games you like that the majority of EB doesn't?

btw, Prof. Layton is pretty stupid. I tried playing it last week, saw the nice-ish anime intro, then got into thick of the action and it was basically an elementary school workbook hidden in dumb events. I thought it was supposed to be an adventure game, not Brain Age with a style swap.

I really dug Kane and Lynch.
the Phoenix Wright series is what I most often use my DS for.
I played through Red Steel and derived enjoyment from it.
and I seem to throughly enjoy any light gun shooter that comes my way, any one at all. For example, Ninja Combat, Endgame, and Dino Stalker were fugging great, really.

I'm a highly patient gamer (I beat Batman Dark Tomorrow and Escape From Bug Island just to test myself) and the novelty of the whole Wii control thang compelled me to keep going. Its a highly flawed game, and I'm sure if I picked it up again I'd be much less enthused for it, but at the time, it wasn't all that bad. And heck, it still has better graphics then most Wii games now.

I imagine that the game is more fun if you visualize yourself reading the back of a box of fruity pebbles before catching the bus to go to school.

Ooh I liked Order Up! on the wii. Alot of people would probably lump it in with the other shovelware clogging the shelves. But I wanted a wiimote cooking game ever since the controller was unveiled and it does a respectable job. Cooking Mama is trash in comparison.

Yoshi Touch and Go>>>>>>>Yoshi's Island DS btw.

Castlevania por was a great castlevania. I gave up on Dawn of Sorrow out of boredom but Portrait mixed the linear/non-linear aspects in an appealing way.

Layton games are real good. They are basically puzzle books that us adults can play without feeling like pedobear or ntard (like you do when you play Brain Training). They have great art, voices, music and nice little mystery stories to sugarcoat the fact we're just doing a puzzle book.

Can't wait to play the 3rd one

Kind of. A lot of those two hours were spent trying to figure out how to make the gun point in the right direction and wrestling with the controls.

I hate Red Steel, but along with Kameo and (probably) Resistance 2, it's one of those games that I keep thinking "ok, it couldn't have been that bad" until I played it and realized it was.

I liked the demo for Kameo enough to buy it. What a terrible mistake.

Bebpo · « **Reply #56 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:27:34 PM »

I didn't realize Kameo was hated. It's my favorite post-PD Rare game. The connecting battleground was dumb, but the levels were nice adventure/platforming like Psychonauts/Zelda-lite with gorgeeeeeeeous graphics for the time. So pretty. I would've liked a sequel.

Bildi · « **Reply #57 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:40:10 PM »

It had a few shortcomings that I was willing to overlook, but Rare's level design started to grate on me and that snow village pushed me over the edge.

I thought technically it was a great looking game. Rare's design is a matter of taste but I find it quite OK for a Rare game.
