Child of Light

One of 2014's best. I had thought I'd already reviewed it, but apparently not!

Good game, terrible story, won awards for writing.

Batman: Arkham City

Wow that sounds godawful.

Arkham City - you have to buy alternate costumes, and you STILL have to unlock them in the game to use.
that part kinda ticked me off, especially how I have to learn to use some sort of cheat to use the skins I paid for, I'm just glad I got it for super cheap as the GOTY edition while on steam sale

for those trying for the calendarman achievement, the next event is on the 4th.

Nothing's worse than selling DLC that you still have to unlock, but that's the way the industry's going. See the new Forza for the worst example of it.

Going to be posting three Wii U things this week, starting with Dr. Luigi. NES Remix tomorrow, then Mario Kart 8 after that.

Dr. Luigi

What can be worse than having to beat the game first or having to put in a cheat?

Having to pay real money to buy a car and then pay more real money for enough credits to unlock it, or grind for ten hours.

I just noticed that there's a spoiler tag in my post about this earlier. I have no idea why it's there.

This game's ideas are the best, but some of the games included are the worst. Overall rules, but man NES Golf stinks.

NES Remix

That looks interesting. Is there any sort of multiplayer setup? Simultaneous (cooperative or combat)?

Meowskivich · Post by **Meowskivich** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:15 pm

I don't believe so

The Wobbler · Post by **The Wobbler** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 7:14 pm

No multiplayer but it's great for just passing the controller around after each game since they're so short

Actually kept my word and wrote all three Wii U articles this week. Game's the best, even if battle mode is terrible now.

Mario Kart 8

New version of 2013's Game of the Year. This time it's on nearly every platform so pick it up or you're a chump.
