[:plant:] The Game Review Thread - No Posts By Skills Because He Never Finishes His 10000 Games

Thankfully a lot more games are being sensible about this kind of thing these days, and the ability to gain or purchase an ability that helps you track down collectibles is appearing more often. The other thing games are doing a bit better, and is what made the Agility Orbs so good in Crackdown, is making the collectibles worth actually collecting. One of the worst things games can do is throw in hundreds of things to collect with just an achievement or trophy being your reward if you hunt them all down.

How ya doing, buddy?

You know amazingly enough it's possible to play Mario Kart and beat a whole host of games. I mean if you've only beaten one more game than since your previous post in January then I've really got nothing to worry about.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
