Microsoft – 2018 The Good Stunning Visuals Gameplay has a ton of variety and courses and cars The car Livery system is pretty great The Bad The PC version is a pretty mediocre port of the console version There are a lot of bugs. The Online Scene isn’t great Racing is a genre of games that I don’t really obsess over but I often come back to. It’s quite possibly my secret favorite genre.

So, the makers of Super Meat Boy, Team Meat, apparently have an old school Nintendo Fetish of the worst kind. First you have Super Meat Boy, which has vague connotations of Super Mario Brothers.

It seems a little weird that the latest film Infinity War is included in the First Ten Years line of Marvel Legends, but I guess it is part of the legacy. I guess it’s more strange to me because it includes a complete version of a Build a Figure that’s currently on the pegs still and an Iron Man that’s part of that same Build a Figure Wave. In terms of figure reuse, this set is essentially 100% reuse of past releases, and it’s one of the more expensive sets, […]
