Captain Marvel is actually really complicated. Originally it was a character unrelated who's now owned by DC. He was a 10 year old boy who turned into a superhero when he yelled "Shazam" which is now what he's called. There was a lawsuit over Captain Marvel later for being too similar to Superman and the rights were dropped. Then when Marvel became and saw DC had the rights to Captain Marvel, they created a character named Mar-Vell who was their Captain Marvel. He saved Carol Danvers, who absorbed some powers from him and became Ms Marvel until 2012, when she took the mantle Captain Marvel. The current Ms Marvel you mentioned was a massive fangirl of Carol Danvers so she took the name when she got super powers of her own.

I wouldn't say I adore it, but Call of Duty Ghosts is probably top 3 in the series for me. Most the hated games I like still have a huge fanbase like Mass Effect 3, but everyone seems to shit on Ghosts. Thing is, it and MW1 are the only games in the series where I remember every level and the encounters actually felt pretty well designed. The story was stupid, but I got the feeling the game was aware of this fact which helped.

Yeah, Julian's right on 1985. You can only go with Super Mario Bros, but I feel Gauntlet and Carmen Sandiego at least deserve shout outs.

I'm looking to see what deals there will be on graphics cards, thinking of upgrading mine. Would like a 1070, but might have to settle for a 1060

I think Rise was on the right track to making the game you're describing, story aside. It was the survival elements and the extra puzzles that kept that game interesting for me. But I completely agree on the one before it.

Also I have an idea for the setting to From's next game: Either modern or 1950's era America overrun by the creatures from Bloodborne. Think that could be a cool twist on post-apocalyptic. 

I'm really happy I got the SNES Classic, but even happier I was able to snag a second for my cousin who grew up on this system. He normally only plays Starcraft 2 now, but he's having a blast going back and replaying Mario World, DKC, Mario RPG, FFVI and Zelda: ALttP while getting to try some he wanted to as a kid like Super Metroid. Personally, I think I'll try to give FFVI another go, see if I can get into it this time. 

Also agree that replacing the rails sections with dogfights in SF2 feels like a mistake. Always preferred SF64's rail segments.

GTA IV also has a 98 on Metacritic so someone had to have liked it.

Game I love: I wouldn't maybe say love, but Metroid Prime: Federation Force was a pretty solid shooter

Game I hate: GTA IV

I hated Nuts and Bolts' intro too, but if you give it time I think there's a good chance you like it since you seem to like Legos. It's basically trying out a bunch of crazy contraptions you make and encourages you to think outside the box when building them.

I'm not knocking the concept of single player games, I just think that we're going to see development of them change. Scale back a little in terms of cinematics and graphics while pushing in other areas. I think it'll be good, may force some innovation.
