I will never, ever, ever forget the hours and hours I sunk into Gauntlet Legends on the Dreamcast with my friend over the summers of third and fourth grade. Of course, in retrospect it's a pretty mediocre game, but when you're in third grade it is completely bad-ass to have your green archer pull out a MASSIVE bow and shoot dozens of arrows all at the same time. Ah, how many times I heard "Green Archer is about to die!" I'll never forget you, Gauntlet.
So, I have the Steam version of Trials (Trials 2 Second Edition or whatever) and I'm wondering if there's enough new content in the XBLA version to warrant the purchase. Anyone know?
Aww, man, Gauntlet Legends, on the Dreamcast. In retrospect, it was a pretty mediocre game, but back in 4th grade or so my friend and I would play it for hours and hours during the summer.
Heh, funny story. One of my hobbies outside of gaming is parkour/tricking with some of my friends. Think Mirror's Edge but at a playground, dodging little kids instead of cops. So when I heard about Mirror's Edge coming out, I got really really pumped and, of course, preordered it. They released a really cool video with some neato tricks in it that I hadn't thought of. So my first impulse was to go try them out. I ended up breaking my wrist as a result, and had to sit and watch my brother play Mirror's Edge when it came out. Painful.
I agree with every aspect of this review. It was fairly fun to play through, but left me with a feeling of "...so what now?" I don't feel attached to the area and doubt I'll make many trips back even though they made a big deal about making it a replayable area. Eh.
