I was not aware of that...but I've also never seen Press Your Luck. It makes me sad that Eek the Cat seems so forgotten. That and Bobby's World.

I remember the Tick cartoon! Did you watch Eek the Cat? It aired around the same time.

With Zack & Wiki I really tried to figure things out myself but would look something up if I was really stumped. Frustration can really ruin a game like that.

Hey, that's a good song!

Rocket Slime is the best! A friend and I played it in college all the time. Such epic tank battles! I'm so sad the sequels never saw release here. We need a collection on Switch!

Also, nice puns.

I haven't heard of Army of Ruin. Looks kind of like Vampire Survivors. Is that a fair comparison.

I'm enjoying Metroid Prime 4 as well! It did change developers part way through (I don't remember the timeframe on that switch), so I'm not sure what part of those eight years resulted in this game. Whatever the game's faults and shortcomings, I'm glad it exists.

I also have a Game of the Year blog! ...which I should go finish up...

My son finished Cult of the Lamb and I don't think I'm going to play that one. He spent waaay more time managing his cult compound than he did out fighting and that part of the game does not interest me much.

Maybe I missed it but what's your plan for 2026?

Again, such a dizzying number of good games. I have meant to play BioShock 2 for years now but just...haven't. Ditto for Bloodborne. Dead Space 2, however, is SO GOOD. I wish it had gotten the remake treatment as well.
