This is One Word Review, a concept that I shamelessly lifted from my friend Creighton over at Nerdology (it's okay, he said I could). The idea behind OWR, as we like to call it, is that videogames are so often rated, reviewed, and discussed to exhaustion that it is sometimes a relief to read a succinct, definitive description of a game--a single word that sums up the most prominent characteristics of the gaming experience. That's the idea, so here goes:
Re-childing
Haha, this is an interesting concept for a gaming review. Re-childing is a good way of putting it, although "challenging" is another description that I think works for Mega Man 9.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what systems are you guys playing the game on? If you don't have a PS3 and Xbox 360 yet, I recommend you take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on right now where you can win the system of your choice simply by designing a 6 Hour Power t-shirt. It's surprisingly easy to design online, and you can win prizes like Rise of the Argonauts and 6 Hour Power energy shots (a great gaming drink) as well. For contest details, go here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog, Eddie. I work with 6 Hour Power so if you have any questions about the contest or the energy shot just let me know. If anyone enters, let me know and I'll be happy to vote for your design. The contest ends tomorrow so I suggest getting your entry in ASAP. Good luck!
