I didn’t give this game much of a chance. I goofed around, but the camera angles and controls are a bit wonky. I think I was trying to play it like Manhunt.

The game just doesn’t feel right.

Ya know, I paid a nut for this game.. and it’s jam-packed with really wildly passible games. This is definitely a party mix of games.. some of what is found in here was absolutely astoundingly popular in the arcades. The transformation to the console is a bit odd for some, but some of these games are really great. I mean seriously great.

A first person shooter.

4/10 – I didn’t like it, but I never gave it much of a chance.

You need patience to play. It’s quite funny at times.

One of the most hilariously “offensive” games I’ve ever played in my life. Any game that has “kill”, “kill more” and “kill fancy” has to be played!

There’s a Manhunt 2

Action game with mechs. Run around beating on things.

4/10 – Too much annoyance. Simple changes could have made this a good game. Buy this if it’s your genre and you have a stout spirit.

I’ll add notes when I re-watch this series.
Do not watch this without respecting the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

A vampire, cursed with a soul to be immortally haunted by his past, hopes for absolution by fighting the damned.

An astonishing series. The characters and story are outstanding. While built upon/within the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, it has a different and significantly more adult story line. I would say that this series is better than its parent, but Buffy is mandatory and still enjoyable viewing to get to this one.

Mandatory viewing.

Set in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – (1997 show), sharing significant-enough elements that crossover-viewing is largely considered mandatory. See Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

3/10 – Make the hurting stop. Shiny concept, doesn’t flow right.

This game is adapted to the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon fundraising event. All you need to do is tune in during the telethon, generally Labor Day weekend, and have some beverage on hand.
