PixlBit

Now that all of the reviews have been posted, you, the reader can choose this year's winner.

Well, PixlBit's first Sh*tty Game Review Fest is officially in the books and from it, we've received four outstanding reviews. Julian Titus told us about ancient aliens, or was it something about Rome? Who can remember, but what we know for sure is that it didn't involve Matt R's travels through Wii shovelware via a Dodge Ram. And while a Dodge Ram is pretty manly, I'm not sure it grows the beard quite like playing dress-up with Chris and his Disney Princesses. Word's still out, but I think Matt Snee might've torn out his facial hair attempting to make Gummy Bears jump.

Good-bye 2-D platforming, hello 3-D polygons and analogue sticks.

The Nintendo 64 emerged in 1996 as one of the most powerful consoles of its time, producing 3-D visuals that not even the Playstation or Sega Saturn could produce. At a time when franchises were attempting (and often failing) to make the jump to 3-D, along came Super Mario to save the day yet again.

Can Nintendo’s anthropomorphic wingmen make a comeback? Sure they can. The question is who will make it possible.

What the hell happened to Star Fox? Despite Nintendo being famous for developing and publishing high quality games, the Star Fox series has taken a nosedive. I loved both Star Fox on the SNES, its unreleased sequel for the same system and Star Fox 64, one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever.

Don't ask why, but I've wanted the game since it released in Europe over three years ago.

It has been a long time since I've impulsively purchased a video game. In fairness, I have wanted the game for quite some time now. As a matter of fact, when Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland was first announced for release in Japan my interest was piqued. When I heard it was to release in Europe I got extra excited because I knew that I could eventually play it (no, I don't know Japanese).
