| MrEon's Last Game Reviews |
Mega Man X 04-30-13 12:42 AM |
MrEon Plays: Mega Man X- The grim future of Megaman (and no Dr. Wiley) Personal thoughts and Feelings about Mega Man X: Now this is a trip down memory lane for me. Lets go back in time a little bit now. It was the sad day and age when video rental stores were dying. Sad, but true. A small Video rental store we went to not far from where I lived when I was younger had a large selection of SNES and Sega games, good times. Better yet, it had a pizza place too! A great Friday evening all in one. I rented the game once, and played about halfway through, and SWORE I would go back, rent it and beat it... No such chance, it was always rented out when I went back for it. Fast foward about a year, when the store was closing down and selling everything they had. My dad came home with a SNES game for my birthday, so I was totally stoked! (I had maybe 6 games in all at the time) And when I saw it was MegaMan X I instantly went for my console and the next tweleve hours were lost to MegaMan, Zero, Sigma and a assortment of Junkfood. Best way to spend a weekend. I've played this game inside out and backwards, found every secret imaginable, beat it nearly anyway you can imagine. (Including with no sub tanks or heart tanks only the base life you start with.) This game holds a very special place for me in video game history. The real Review: Graphics 9: It's Capcom. It's Megaman. Its the first foray for the series in both the darker, gritty world of Megaman X and for the SNES. Of course it looks great! Though gone is the anime cuteness of the previous Megaman games, now for something along the lines of a science fiction anime, with robots! So it looks great. Sound: 8 PUT HEADPHONES ON! Okay? You will notice a great deal of difference. First, the music, epic. From boss battles, to the stages themselves they fit the mood perfectly, and help hype up the heavy action (especially during the last few stages where everything wants to kill X ) As for the effects, perfect, I sa...

Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves 12-19-12 03:56 PM |
The Legend of Robin Hood - Living up to the movie? MrEon rambles about the game: Robin hood, out law and vagabond loved by mostly everyone. The medieval batman so to say, if you like analogies that is. The games plays fairly well, though perhaps it tries to do too much for itself. But then, for a game based on a movie, which are notoriously terrible, this is perhaps one of the few exceptions to that rule. (Anyone remember E.T. anyone? one of the early precursors to that rule) But this game, actually hit on alot of high points. First, its rather faithful to the actual movie! Alot of games either change the plot or do a 'alternate' telling of the movie, which is all in all terrible idea. (or maybe good idea just often done terribly) But this stays close to the movie, starting in the prison during the crusades as a sort of intro level. Where you play the game mostly from a top down, semi isometric perspective. However, some battles are done in 2D side scrolling for fencing, which can be hard. You can jump, duck, roll and stab stab stab. Just be careful of the villains who have a longer reach then you do. There are also large scale battles where your friends join in the fray, these how ever take a new perspective, top down again, but your little character gets MUCH smaller, but your party comes out to fight too, though this is usually where you get mobbed by dozens of enemies for awhile, never fear if you have a bow though! Now, what else does the game do well? Well side missions, now I know I said that many games add things that were never in the movie and do it terribly. Well this is a example of them doing it well, because they draw on the original Robin Hood story as well. Such as Guy of Gisborne sent to kill you, and expanding upon the home base in Sherwood forest, which makes it quiet fun as you see it progress. Now this can be a very challenging game! Whenever you can find potions, food, and bandages, you'll need them for a quick health boost, especially r... Read the rest of this Review |
Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts 12-09-12 08:21 PM |
Super Ghouls and Ghosts - Only the epic need apply Personal thoughts and Feelings about Super Ghouls and Ghosts: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGRAHH *Controller toss, childish stomping and yelling* ... yeah... The game is THAT hard. Capcoms gem Super Ghouls and Ghosts is not to be taken lightly. It might look and play as a simple platformer, but its utterly devious to play. A single wrong move could get you killed, the enemies are at times utterly relentless, not only that but the environment is out to kill you too. There are times when you'll just sit there, slack jawed after you've lost your last life and go, 'Thats just not fair!'... then hit continue and play again. Thats where the charm of the game comes in. It is absolutely, at times, punishingly hard! But its so much fun! You see, you start as Arthur, knight to save the princess (really, does knight have any other duties?) And you go about in gleaming suit of plate mail armor, ready to bash about foes... then a zombie hits you and your walking about in your red polka spotted knickers. Yep, armor is good for one, and ONLY one hit. However you can get armor back via chests, or secret spots and containers. But what happens when you already have armor? Well you get better armor! It's still only good for a single hit, however you'll start getting the weapons you carry enchanted! Which is very very good... especially when you're going against the bosses of the game because they were just plain mean! And if you happen to get a third set of armor, it turns gold and you can charge your weapons to do some seriously devastating stuff! And some of them will clear the screen of weaker enemies and do damage to larger ones... but they don't help much navigating the environmental pitfalls of spikes, pits, churning water, lightning, and worse. And one saving grace with the armor is occasionally you'll get a shield which is good for one free hit as well, without loosing your armor that is. The real Review: Read the rest of this Review |
Front Mission 12-06-12 03:05 PM |
Front Mission - Panzer Warfar the way it should be. Personal thoughts and feelings: This takes me back a number of years (God I hate being old) I played it first on a emulator, same game, hacked to English, and later played it for the DS which was the same game, just prettier and offered a second campaign as well as extras to play with at the end (Like the uber battle mech boss that didn't even fit on the screen) But when I played it and saw it was a strategy RPG I was braced for the worst, I've played several turn based RPGs like this, and they were often convoluted, complicated and the story was usually very very weak. (princess is kidnapped, or darkness is coming if we don't win etc etc) and no offense to people who love the genre, it just got old FAST for me. However I was surprised, pleasantly surprised I was getting sucked into the game. The story (while I admit a LITTLE cliche' was well done.)involved the main character (you) starting a mission with the military, whom have some control over the island Huffman, however the mission you're sent on is a setup, rigged by the OCU militants, and conspirators to start a full fledged war, which is what they got, though in the process of the attack you loose your fiance in the battle (Against a mech you will learn to really really hate) From there you are hired on, as a Mercenary after you were discharged formally. The mission? Help the army get back and end the war, but most importantly, find the jerk who killed your fiance. I admit I had alot of fun with this game, and I'm sure you will too! Give it a true, and come on, its made by Square soft? How can you go wrong? The real review: Graphics: 9 The graphics of the game are presented largely in isometric view, and they don't disappoint either. The attention to detail phenomenal. From the explosions, to the sparks, even cartridges ejecting from guns to clink to the ground. And you are able to even customize and color your mech (and this is a SNES game!) With d...

Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars 12-02-12 08:11 PM |
A delightful gem of its time, half forgotten, developed by FF legends Personal Thoughts and Feelings on the Game: Man this takes me way back. Mid 90's or so, the game had been out for awhile and I saw it now and then,it was of a age where I was first seriously getting into RPGs. Dungeons and Dragons, Bauldur's gate, Zelda, and a few others (Not Final Fantasy though, oddly enough) when I picked out this little title from a old video rental shop. (Does anyone else remember those? Cassettes everywhere, SNES and Sega cartridges everywhere) And I was restricted to just 1 game, being only 12 or so I didn't have much cash from my benevolent parents, so it was a hard choice between Mario RPG, and Contra. In retrospect I'm glad I got Mario RPG. To me, it was Iconic. After all, in the world of video games what is more iconic at times then our portly plumber friend? I grew up with him with Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario 2, and of course 3 and Super Mario World. So when I started playing it I noticed the name 'SquareSoft' as the makers and though That's a weird name', but in my youth I was woefully ignorant of Squaresoft and their power over video games. As I play though I'm delighted by the '3D' aspect of the game, it was still rather new in video games so I felt so technologically superior to friends who didn't play it. And Mario, laughably at times, was the silent hero (aren't most in RPGs that Squaresoft make?) in the Mushroom kingdom, which was beautifully realized in the first epic quest, where, you can guess, you have to rescue the Princess Peach from the nefarious Villain Bowser. However, after the battle something rather strange happens. A sword, nearly as large as the castle Bowser lovingly created, shatters star road! And sinks itself to the midst of the castle, sending Mario flying. Such was the introduction to the game, one that made me happily eager to play more! Now, I won't reveal too much of the story after this, but the events that followed made me laugh, frustrated... Read the rest of this Review |
