32. Sonic Jam - Saturn

I completed every mode of every game with every character, including the Sonic World timed goals but excluding Blue Sphere as that game has no end.

Definitely a high quality production from Nintendo. Almost everything in the game seems Mario Kart-perfect except once you go 150cc, it turns into an item-rapefest that usually leaves you with some green shells and banana peels to fight for your dignity with. Other than that, the game is superb. Diggin that jazzy soundtrack!

Very generic shmup here. Still, it has very smooth controls and some cool secondary weapons to choose between at each point between the missions. The drawback on the secondary weapons is that you can only use a secondary weapon once for a single stage; once you've chosen it you cannot select it again. Still, that at least leads you to strategically choose certain weapons for certain stages. However, you pick a bad secondary for a stage and when you continue you're stuck with the same secondary until you clear the level. The graphics and art direction are extremely bland. All of the levels are pretty much a single background, with maybe a variant or two thrown in such as a few islands or fortresses. It really does go through the laundry list of stale backgrounds for shooters: forest, desert, snow, space, etc. The game has some decent enough butt-rock though.

I wanna get Sonic CD for the actual Sega Cd, I'm not sure if it has a save option like the Xbox Live Arcade version has? Maybe someone can answer that for me? If it doesn't, I wanna beat it on the Sega CD so it's not as easy with the saves. Not that this game was easy, it was pretty hard.

Great little puzzle game published by Microsoft, gorgeous graphics, charming characters and story, can get challenging, but not impossible. Perhaps a little short, though. Worth it for $5

Trippy, but worth the $1 I paid for it.

23. To The Moon

Ok, I admit it, I was wrong about this game. I assumed it was some artys crap and people were overracting to it. It's....really good. It sorta plays itself, but it's still really good. Hit a few nerves with me, so kudos for being the first game in over 10 years to get feels into my cold, black heart.

24. SigCorp - Holiday Special

This is a mini episode that was included in the program files that I only happened to find out about due to a visit to the Steam forums. It focuses on the doctors, a few weeks after the events of To The Moon. It's short and helps set up the story for the next mini episode and then episode 2 thereafter. If you enjoyed To The Moon, worth a play. You already have a copy anyway.

Amazingly easy to finish, but a fun little game. There really isn't much to it. After upgrading my vehicle and setting the records on all the tracks, I just kept on playing for a while. It's disarmingly fun, though it doesn't seem like it should be...if that makes sense.

Beaten off of my original save file from 1995. Feels good to finally scratch this one off the list, I was afraid the battery would die before I ever got around to it.

How'd you like PSIV? I've been holding off on finishing this one for a while. I might just start a new save file.

37) Batman: Arkham Origins(WiiU)
A lot of fun, no doubt, but it got rather frustrating at the end. Some of the final boss battles were a bit gimmicky and down-right clumsy. I really hate it when devs completely go bonkers and cinema-up boss battles in newer games. The controls were obviously not made for some of the situations they were forced into by the devs. I'll leave my complaining for last, but I do want to stress that this is a fun game. The combat it pretty damn sweet, and flying around the city is as fun as ever.

SPOILERS AHEAD: The last Bane fight was a chore, fighting him all hulked up in tight corridors, the game wants you to sneak up behind him and stealth strike him, but not only do you have to wrangle the camera in, but the game seemed to be unable to make up it's mind if it would let me run or keep me in "fighting stance" not allowing me to run. Then, when getting behind Bane, it seemed very hit or miss as to whether the stealth strike icon would show or not. It seemed like you had to be in some certain, invisible spot to trigger it. The Firefly fight was gimmicky confusing, thanks to the devs insistence that it play out like a movie. And the whole "8 of the greatest assassins have come to Gotham to wipe out Batman"-plot was all but forgotten in the last part of the game and we were treated once again to the Batman and Joker show. Oh, and the game did freeze up my Wii U twice in a 10 minute period, each time when a crime in progress triggered. The only other time my Wii U has ever froze up is when using Hulu.
