Christmas Grand List Update

December 25, 2010


-3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
-Asteroids (Atari 2600)
-Gears of War 2 GOTY Edition (Xbox 360)
-Halo Reach Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
-Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (N64)
-Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 (PS3)
-Top Gun (NES)
-Wheel of Fortune: Family Edition (NES)

First things first — I’d like to welcome the PS3 into my collection of consoles. You’ll notice I got 2 games to go along with it.

Another thing you might notice is Asteroids for the Atari 2600…I do not own an Atari 2600 yet but I’ll be glad that I already have a game for it once I do purchase one.


Grand List Update/Weekly Purchase Review

December 12, 2010

Just the one game this time. This is probably the last game I’ll be buying before Christmas.

-Super Mario All Stars Limited Edition (Wii)

As far as initial impressions go, the Limited Edition is a bit underwhelming with a 20 track CD containing 10 sound effects (That’s right, bleeps and bloops make up 50% of the entire CD) and an art book that quickly glances at 11 out of the ∞ games that Mario has appeared in. But for 30 bucks I can hardly complain The game(s) are great if not too faithful to the source at times…it is exactly the same as the original Super Mario All Stars.

3.5/5 GRUs

(PS, this counts as a WPR)


Grand List Update

December 7, 2010

4 games added to The Grand List.

-Clubhouse Games (DS)
-Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS)
-Ninja Gaiden (NES)
-Sin and Punishment Star Successor (Wii)

Also, a Weekly Purchase Review for Donkey Kong Country is coming soon.


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.
