Since most people aren't offended, I think I'll keep it. Sorry about that Mario500.
I think hell can be used as a point of emphasis. If I say heck (which I often do) it's usually a small complaint which deserves a gee-whiz tone. If something is truly infuriating I tend to use hell or maybe an [expletive].

I always thought the first boss in Dynamite Headdy was a cat! And I was able to figure out how to jump over him and attack his head when it was flashing as he recharged! (though, maybe it's because I played the Genesis version and not the Game Gear port).
Other than that, your reviews were fine. I'd actually like to see your opinions on games such as the rest of the Sonic games on Game Gear as well as...
Action 52 (NES)
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (3DO)
Slaughter Sport (Genesis)
and Mortal Kombat Advance (the first one that came before Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition)
That was probably off topic, but I don't know what console you're going to review games for next, though I highly doubt it's gonna be the Game Gear...

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is ridiculously expensive now, so it's unlikely that will ever get reviewed.

The Angry Video Game Nerd single-handedly created demand for that game. It really does look like the most hilariously awful game ever.
I think some generous soul would have to donate a copy to the Critic for review.

There's nothing of significance in the Plumbers Don't Wear Ties manual, so a loose disc would suffice. And of course, the 3DO is a "homebrew-friendly" console.
Like I said
here, PDWT barely qualifies as a game -- it's basically a visual novel -- and on a technical level, it's beyond abominable (in addition to the slideshow visuals, the audio is a complete mess). But it's incredibly, bizarrely funny if you're in the right mood for it, and it's great to play with a couple friends. Unlike most FMV games, if you make a bad choice, you pay no penalty and can immediately try a different alternative. It's one of the most half-assed games I've ever seen, but its effort-to-entertainment ratio is actually pretty good.
