On the same day as my contest round ended, I finished Paper Mario (if you can call it that). I beat the game (the final boss), and as I was watching the ending cutscene, the electricity in the neighborhood cut off. No, really. Seriously. Anyways, I beat the game, and some day I’ll go back and beat the last boss again and tackle the pit of 100 trials. Here’s the review.

Here we go again, it’s time for stage three of the contest. This stage will be the smallest and, sadly, the last. Some games have been removed from the contest due to the fact that I have no inclination to play them. Before that, however, here are some awards for the previous round.

I finally beat my last DS game, a couple months before my projected date. Yoshi’s Island is the third DS Mario game I have played (not counting Mario Kart), and although it might not be the best, it definitely gets the title for the hardest and the one with the most unlockables. Unlike the other two games, however, in this game you play as Yoshi, Mario’s little reptilian friend, and partner up with baby versions of our favorite Mario characters.

To start out this review, I just need to say that Freedom Fighters is the best GameCube game I own, and definitely the best shooter I have ever played. The premise of the game is that the Soviet Union actually won the Cold war, and in 2003, they launched a major invasion of the United States. your job as Chris Stone, the “Freedom Phantom” is to retake New York City for the US and repel the enemy invasion forces.

In a need for an action RPG, I picked up this game after hearing some very positive comments from a friend about XML2. I just recently played through the game, and here are my thoughts on it.
