I played through two games.
First one that was beaten… Hotel Dusk: Room 215.
I order it waaaay back in January 2007. I mean, even preordered it. When it came, I felt it didn’t live up to the hype, so after an hour and some of playing, I stopped.
Picked it back up last Sunday. I guess all the hype got out of my mind, as I got stuck to it. I played it all on a five hour car ride, at home, stayed up late a few nights to play, and finally (sadly) finished it two nights ago, January 24th. About 17 or 18 hours on my save. Game wasn’t worth the hype that some blogs gave it (I’m looking at you, GoNintendo), but I’d say it was… Maybe 8.0 to 8.6, 8.7?
Second game, Super Mario Galaxy. I was saving up some cash when it came out, so I didn’t buy it immediately. I got it for Christmas, though. I got into it about two weeks ago. Beat it last night / this morning…
I’m not quite sure how I felt on it. I mean, I loved it, but… Too many ‘freaky’ levels, if you ask me. I’m a scaredy cat, yeah. Even Boos make yelp… So I wasn’t too plussed about that. The levels were a bit linear, too. In some levels, it was just peachy, in others, not so much. The boss levels weren’t so bad, though. I really liked how they used gravity there.
Wasted 10+ lives on the last stage, but took out Bowser in one life. On the whole, I guess I liked it. Somewhere between an 8.8 and a 9.3, I guess. Not second-best game of all time (so far), but pretty good.
