Stalagmite Reviews:

NES:

Very nice review, flows well and you covered the main aspects of the game greatly. I really like how you compared it to other series that lots of people know about, Contra.

Actually convinced me to want this game on the VC.

Might as well use it to put in all my reviews.

Startropics is the latest review.


I got another review, but I kind of want comments on this one to see if I'm going in the right direction or not, as the next review is a lot like the latest.

^still making little edits to that review.

In the meantime, here's the NES Review.

Super Mario Brothers review

Your reviews are amazing. You're really pulling out a lot of details about these games and giving a very good impression of how they play, as well as covering the various non-gameplay stuff effectively as well.

Thanks Insanity.

Two new reviews:

Alex Kidd In Miracle World
Megaman

Megaman, I started ages ago. In fact, I started that as soon as I did the Zombies Ate My Neighbours review, but never got around to finishing it until just yesterday. Alex Kidd In Miracle World, just did it today.

Love your reviews Stally. Even for such simple games like Super Mario Brothers and Megaman, you put out a whole crapton of detail, while trying to entertain the reader. Well not in the same way Barms or Yahtzee does, but it's still entertaining. If to be a little picky, some paragraphs aren't entertaining, just walls of text. Still, you manage to entertain me for quite a while and provide many, many details.

Also:

or how Sonic The Hedgehog (360/PS3 version) would've kicked so much ass as an Alex Kidd game aka his revival (well, get rid of the glitches and many of the Sonic-related stuff and put Alex Kidd stuff in, there, perfect).

Thanks Jakkie, and yes, Sega should get around to that. But unfortunately, we all know that's as likely as Rare going to Sony.


Goldeneye is up and running. plz read

Great review. You went into basically everything the game has to offer and really got across just what makes this game the FPS game to have.

That game was epic. Don't suppose you've ever tried playing with a dual control method, have you? It's certainly a cool experience, if a little odd.

Some great and thorough reviews, Stalagmite, keep 'em coming. I've only read a few, but I applaud you for reviewing these old school games, Goldeneye in particular. Reading that review makes me want to play the game, heh.

Thanks Storm!

Well, sorry to say, but I've been busy for the past month. Busy with school, friends, work and such. I've started about six reviews (yes people, SIX REVIEWS), but never got around to finishing any except one; Paper Mario. I apologize if the quantity isn't as big as my other reviews, but I've been putting that one in particular off for a while and hope to just finish it already. Hopefully, I'll finish two of the other five off today or tomorrow. If anyone cares, the two are going to be Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

A great amount of detail. Good to see you made sure to discuss the graphical style and I now feel I know the battle setup very well. I'm a bit disappointed that you neglected to really delve into the exploration aspect of the game though.

Agreeing with Insanity. Paper Mario consists mostly OF exploring, among solving puzzles, which you forgot to mention! Excellent job on explaining the many elements of battle, badges and items though.

Your reviews are amazing. And holy shit, I thought I only knew one other person who has played Alex Kidd In Miracle World!


Hurry up and finish those other 5 or so reviews, Insanity needs competition! He's done like 10 reviews this week alone!
