Fun post-Mario-64 platformer with lots of different moves to pull off, and a really engaging overworld. The level inside the monster's stomach very memorable.
 
Continues the same design of the original, with very few changes. Still quite polished and fun. Also has some interesting multiplayer additions.
 
Even better than the ground-breaking prequel, but shares many of the same flaws. Mid-game drags a bit, but great ending is worth it. Solid Chinese aesthetic.
 
Simulates Ryo's detailed day-to-day life with panache and heart. Nearly everything can be examined in detail. Combat somewhat wonky. Good, if over-ambitious.
 
It sure feels like there's a strong puzzle game in there somewhere, but the controls and mechanics never clicked for me. Oh well, back to Tetris Attack.
 
Everyone told me to watch this show. I thought "Psh, that's what they said about 'Survivor'". It turns out this time everyone was right; this show really is as funny as people keep desperately trying to tell you it is.
 
Fantastic graphical style marred by poor game design. Overly hinted dungeons, annoying dialogue, unreliable brush stroke mechanism, silly "battle zone".
 
Hilarious classic LucasArts adventure game. Puzzles are obscure, but the real appeal of this game is the humor. Read my lips: I can't pick that up!
 
Good gameplay, if a little oddly balanced. Gummy ship battles are terrible, as is most of the Disney content, but frame story is lovely. Outshone by the sequel.
 
Started the venerable tradition of Sim games, with their quirky humor and complex (but not over-complicated) mechanics. I wish my city had a Dr. Wright.
 
Continues the formula with lots more buildings, underground construction, and sophisticated landscape. Never could build the perfect town, but I sure tried.
 
Fun as an architecture simulator, but the main life simulator parts felt grindy and not especially entertaining after only a couple hours.
 
Wonderful premise, lots of educational detail that was actually a legitimate part of the game, not just a distraction. Somewhat repetitive inner loop gameplay.
 
Fun for a while, certainly deeper than Harvest Moon and co, but the micromanagement and unexplained crop failures got frustrating quickly.
 
Wanted to like this one, it certainly had the necessary depth of a good Sim game. But, odd balance issues (particularly re: atmospheric composition) broke it.
