    Grand List Update 05/26/11

    May 26, 2011

    “Neglect” doesn’t seem to be the appropriate word to describe my lack of activity on here but it’s not like I have a loyal fanbase so no harm no foul.

    With Donkey Kong Country 3 I now have every DKC game with the exception of the remakes for the Gameboy Color which don’t really count. The only reason I bought Fling Smash is because it comes with a Wii Motion Plus controller so I’m ready when Skyward Sword comes out.

    Weekly Purchase Review – Donkey Kong Country Returns

    December 27, 2010

    Here it is, the review for Donkey Kong Country Returns. There isn’t a lot I can say about this game that every other review has stated but I wrote one anyway…

    The end of 2010 has been incredibly nostalgic for video games. Starting with Goldeneye for the Wii, then it was Donkey Kong Country Returns, and then the return of the Golden Sun series. Yep, it’s a good time to be a gamer who was also a gamer a decade or two ago. The focus of this review is Donkey Kong Country Returns, the next installment in the Donkey Kong Country series which hasn’t seen a game since DKC3 in 1996 for the SNES.

    DKCR is classic side scrolling action on the Wii, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unlike NSMB, however, DKCR is damn near impossible. The game starts off easy enough but ramps up in difficulty pretty early on in the best way imaginable.

    Level design is varied and incredibly creative. From mine carts to rockets and classic side scrolling levels, each level feels wholly unique. Too few games of this caliber come out nowadays and it’s unfortunate because Donkey Kong Country Returns is definitely one of the best games to come out this year.

    4.75/5 GRUs

    Big Grand List Update

    November 22, 2010

    I added a lot of games to The Grand List. Most notable are my recent purchases (reviews coming in 2068)

    -Dance Central (Xbox 360)
    -Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)
    -Excitebike (NES)
    -Kid Icarus (NES)
    -Kinect Adventures (Xbox 360)

    I also added ALL of my NES and Sega Saturn games because I got those systems and all their games after starting my quest to catch ’em all but I was too lazy to include them when I originally wrote the The Grand List.

    I also got my copy of Super Mario Kart back from Max after he borrowed it for roughly 10 years.
