If you mix RPG and action
With a dash of Cooking Mama,
You might get a quirky game
Like this two screen bash-arama.

Trade items, bash the nasties,
Talk or engage in petty spats.
Carefully plot your movements
To maximize your stats.

If classic console adventures
You throughly enjoy,
By all means do play Contact:
It is the real McCoy!

Epic Mickey

Epic Mickey’s story
Is its primary appeal;
Disneyland allusions
Make the theme park fanboys squeal.

Mickey moves too slowly
and he pauses when he spins.
He makes choices, but little impact
Have his virtues or his sins.

The game is mediocre,
But the Disney touches – cute.
Perhaps a sequel will avoid
The reception of my boot.

Enjoyable, clever

Namco Museum Megamix

GameBard — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:33:04 +0000

                Namco Museum
           is released once again
         with six “remixed”  titles
         and  eighteen arcade gems.
         The remixes present little
       of value, which  is sad.
       Pac 'n Roll's fun,
       the others?
       Quite bad.
       The arcade titles
       provide far better play,
         There's  no Ms. Pac – Man,
         but Galaga saves  the day!
         Buy to enjoy an arcade hit;
           the remixes are really
                not worth it.

Elevator Action

Glide down through the shafts
Gather papers, kick, shoot, duck…
You got squished? Bad luck!

Simple pleasure here,
From shooting agents and lights.
Well worth your quarter.
