The Video Game Critic

I stand at 2, LOZelda 2 nes and SuperMarioWorld.

I am waiting on Star Fox to come out, and am wondering what is the best version of 2 player tetris I can get, I like the style of the original best, don't know why tetrises are so different form each other. I have been burned more than once, the best version I ever played was on my wife's cellphone, but she got a new one, dogone woman.

Also will pick up Tetris Attack, I want some good quick 2 player games for nostalgia time, make a suggestion if you care.

I've purchased or downloaded free the following from XBLA (Not including many of the demos I decided to not buy):

-3-D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures
-Aegis Wing
-Assualt Heroes
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
-Frogger
-Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
-Hexic HD
-Outpost Kaloki X
-Prince of Persia Classic
-Root Beer Tapper
-Time Pilot
-Worms

Will pick up a lot of the Virtual Console stuff and a few PSN games someday when I purchased those two systems.

I bought 3 from the VC. I'm holding out for more rare titles. I'll probably buy Devil's Crush, Galaga '90 and Pro Wrestling as soon as they are released.

Ice Hockey NES
Military Madness T16
Actraiser SNES

Funkmaster V

None.  I have a Wii, and I already own the originals on almost all of what the VC currently offers.  When I get a PS3 or a 360, then I'll probably download something.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Contra: The Arcade Game
TMNT: The Arcade Game
Double Dragon

Here are the games I've downloaded so far for each system...I'll even give out grades.

Nintendo Wii

Super Mario Bros. (A) - I bought this on Xmas day even though I own the cart...people just love this game and having it on the Wii makes it convient to play.

Toe Jam & Earl (B+) - I love this Genesis classic and its a two player co-op masterpiece.  This game is cheap compared to how much a cart or boxed copy goes for these days.  Funky and fun.

Bomberman 93 (C+) - Great party game, but its sees little play time these days.

Bonk's Adventure (B+) - I can't believe how awesome Bonk is.  It really makes me sad to think about all the great TB-16 games I missed out on.

Bonk's Revenge (A-) - Even better than the first game...simply great.

Super Ghouls n Ghosts (B+) - Very hard, but very fun game.  Plays like a dream with the classic controller.

Punch Out (B+) I already own Mike Tyson's Punch Out, but people love playing this and having it on the Wii means I don't have to break out the NES.

New Adventure Island (B) - I've always loved this series and the TB-16 game is on of the best ones I've ever played.  I really enjoy this hard platformer.

Splatterhouse (C-) - Compared to its genesis cousins this game is a major letdown

Ninja Gaiden (A) - Fantastic side scrolling action platformer.  One of the best uses for $5 I can think of.  Download it now.

Playstation 3

Mortal Kombat II (A-) - One of my favorite fighting games gets better with high resolution graphics and online play.

Calling All Cars (B) - A fun little arcade car game, from the man that brought us Twisted Metal.  Offline is ok, but online is a blast...a little too shallow though.

Super Stardust HD (A) - Dare I say that this game is better than Geometry Wars?  This game has some of the best explosions I've ever seen.  Its simply fantastic.

Xbox 360

None since I don't have it hooked up online...damn you Microsoft for not including Wi-Fi in your machine...

Bonk's Adventure
Zelda 2
Contra III
Splatterhouse
Bloody Wolf
Pac Man
Bomberman '93
Kirby's Adventure

I'm anxiously awaiting(hoping) Ninja Gaiden III and Super Mario RPG! How many of you wish that they would put out 4-5 games per week instead of 3? With all of the systems that they have to cover, 3 just seems like a low amount! They have so many games, it's not like they're going to run out of things to add!
