More folk have been putting up their Games Of The Year. Jimbob's, in particular, is really very good indeed.

I can only agree with you there, Zero. Jimbob's article is a really good read which does a great job of not only illustrating how great the tools of SMM are from a user standpoint, but also how awesome those features are for someone for whom the original SM game was a real game changer that they couldn't get enough of.

You're all so kind! In case you didn't see the mutual back-slapping elsewhere, Muss' GOTY is a super neat version (and a better form of) the concept reviews you used to have to read round.
In fact they're all good. Everyone did good! Sorry again for only just now reading them (as mentioned elsewhere, I realised that I had to get mine written up every time I started reading)

He's got a better one on Journey

Speaking of Journey, you may notice me playing it very soon, rest assured it's for research purposes for my long overdue Gintendo debut.

You playing all the games that have artistic merit and all about those emotions


Or maybe a second time around idea, as that could be a great piece going back to a game you didn't like and think why has this won stupid amount of awards and so critically acclaimed that it makes Top 100 games lists.

Mine would likely be Fallout 3 but I've got nothing to play it on.

Shouldn't have sold your XBone again then!

Actually I can play it on this thing I'm typing this message on.

Also I was going to quote you about having games sat around not used but I can't find it and go a great man once said.

That was mostly a conversation me and you had in person. The argument would work, if we didn't all know you'll buy a third One one day

You did post something on here about it as well as I said about trying to buy less games and not having a collection of 70 Wii U games with 50 of them being naff.

And you posted a great message about similar thing.

I agree I'll likely will buy another ONE one day but at the moment it would collect dust & lose money (you said something about that as well in your post) and I know I can get one for £180ish at double discount without any price drops when there is some games on it but I've barely got time to play the PS4 yet alone anything else.

That Fallout 3 even if I did download it for this laptop, I don't know when I would even play it.

I done wrote a thing about Swapperoo, the match 3 game I've been playing on my iPhone. This has knocked the words that Muss wrote about Star Wars Battlefront off the 'current review' pedestal. Sorry, boss.

That's always the way; whenever I have an article ready to go, Mas drops one five minutes later!

I've got one to go up today as well also Andy said he'd put his LEGO Avengers review up this weekend.

Speaking of which

Nice to see lots of activity on the site!

I delayed my article piece on Street Fighter, I hear Muss is looking at doing something on SFV.

No worries, it's always nice to have new things to read on the site (and I didn't really like my battlefield review anyway).

Swappero is one I'm interested based on your thoughts from the podcast. Always liked the idea of match 3's but haven't found the one for me yet.

I went and did my review of Chasing Dead on Wii U, it's bad

Tried a coupl'a new things in my Bravely Second monster review, including a nicely laid-out sum-up, and a way to do NGamer's little insert boxes online.

I like the end bit of the plus and negatives, I'm even more intruiged to play the game now due to this cool job and something fourth-wall-breaking bit that blows Psycho Mantis out of the water.

Also guys when you do a Gintendo piece if you put a photo first it shows up when you go to the review page for instance instead of just writing also the same applies for the Facebook page as without the picture there then it's just blank.

It's going to be shame to see a great review knocked-off by my Senran Kagura one.

I was just coming on here to compliment the boxes! Well played.
One small thing: there's a confusing line
The trouble is that BD, although a fine game in its own right, just isn't as good as its prequel.
I'm guessing that's meant to be sequel? When you're chucking abbreviations and euphemisms around, it gets confusing!

Ah yes, I did indeed! Cheers gents, and well spotted Drunka.  I shall correct.  I do have a photo. there Mas, it just took a second to load. No I don't, I have a thumbnail. I'll consider it for next time, I'm okay with how it is for now.

Also, kudos for the censorship comment

*awe* You should do that professionally, Balladerini.

There's no spoilers for the prequel in your review Balla, is there? I don't want to spoil myself as I do plan to pick it up eventually!

Speaking of spoiling, you've spoiled us with that wonderful layout Balla. I had a quick skim and saw how you've done your box features. Stellar, sir.

No, none at all. Apart from that some of the returning characters don't die, I guess.

Thanks again, you've all been so kind.

I'm putting together a review of my own just now, and toying with some of the formatting stuff Balla explored. Don't go reading the draft though, you cheeky buggers, I'm not ready yet.

One last though on Balla's BS review, which would make me buy it if I weren't so positive it would sit unplayed in my 3DS for a sad amount of time, is this: with the protagonist's name and all the stuff about chibi fanservice, there's no way I'd have avoided an Operation Yewtree joke. You're a better man than I.

Great write-up Balla! I need to pick up these games at some point this year.
