E.V.O. The Search For Eden

I started collecting games about a year ago and in the past year not only have I spent way too much money, I have greatly expanded my knowledge collectable games. Now being a SNES game, I shall focus on other collectable SNES games. After your obvious choices for collecting (Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Link to the Past, etc) E.V.O should definitely be on your list to get.

Super Mario 64

Ok, so leading up to playing this game, I was under the impression that this Mario game was an awesome 3D version of Mario. Well, what I ended up seeing was a complete failure to the Mario name. I honestly don't see why people enjoy this game so much. I could only stand to play it for about 20 minutes before I called it quits. I never was a big fan of the Nintendo 64, but this just made me dislike it even more.

Gotta give it a What a Piece of Junk, and Don't Bother. If it wasn't obvious, I think this game is way overrated.

Super Mario Bros 2

I have found that the games I review are based a lot on the mood I'm in. When I'm feeling lazy or not very creative I tend to review games I don't like. So before I start this review let me just tell you, I'm in a lazy mood.

Super Mario Bros 2. What can I say that's positive about it? Hmm...can't really think of anything at the moment. I would like to say it's a typical Mario game so it can't be that bad, but it really didn't feel like a Mario game to me. First of all, jumping on enemies didn't kill them, I had to throw these stupid turnips that I pulled out of the ground. The worlds felt dreary and dull. I just think it's an overall fail of a Mario game.

So that being said, my rating is What a Piece of Junk and Don't Buy.

Rocket Knight Adventures

Rocket Knight Adventures is cool purely based solely having the main character be a possum with a jet pack. I mean how cool is that. The game is a classic platformer where you have to go through stages to rescue the kidnapped princess. The music and the graphics are really great, especially the music when you're flying over the water early on in the game. (It's just so inspiring.) I think by far the best moment in the game is when you discover a present that turns out to contain an evil pig and your possum jumps back and screeches. It's possibly one of the best moments in video game history. The ending was pretty disappointing although the final battle seemed to take about 15 minutes to get through and never seemed to end.

I would have given this game a Gamegasm, however the disappointing ending and being able to beat all of the bosses by just using a pattern of moves takes it down to an Ok. Cool. Definitely a game you should try out and pick up if you see a good deal.

Super Mario Bros.

There's really no competition for what should be my first game to review. It's my all-time favorite and I hope you don't pass me off as just another blogger who goes with the rest of the masses. It's one of the most iconic games of all-time, the Michael Jordan of games (ok so it actually came before MJ so maybe I should call it the Wilt Chamberlain of games. You probably don't even know who he is...and we are getting too far into sports), and may have single handedly saved the gaming industry after Atari, Inc.'s massive dump that was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (review to come later). It is of course, Super Mario Bros.
