Completed: Contra Operation GALUUUUUGA!!!

• Cool title because it sounds like the AWOOOOGA!!! noise from Looney Tunes
  
• A lot better than I expected. Not because WayForward doesn't make good games but more of a budget thing (despite the credits showing about 50 billion people who worked on this game)
• Should not be 40 dollars. Bought it on sale for 23.99 which seems more like a correct price
  
• Playing Contra with a health bar feels like cheating sometimes but I don't have the time or patience to play the one-hit death style anymore
• The weapon upgrade system is really cool and I found myself actually using more weapons than just the homing and spread gun
• Perk system was cool too
  
• Classic Contra shit but made in 2024, what more do you really want?
  
   
  

  
  
   
  

Completed: Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)

• Rented this back in 2012 but didn't care for the open world aspect. Much more forgiving of that now and really enjoyed my time with it
  
• Nearly every race is exciting. Loved the most wanted list idea
• Tons of cars to unlock so I found myself switching them up quite a bit
• Loved the intro movies for the races and the most wanted cars. Some of the pre-race ones are pretty hilarious

                            

 

Completed: Astro Bot

• In the words of Mark Cerny describing Astro Bot: Now this is a video game
• One of the best platformers I've ever played therefore it's one of my favorite games I've ever played
• Best looking platformer of all time
  
   
  

Completed: Metal Gear Solid V

• Fire ass game. I was dumb for not getting into it when it came out
• Astounding amount of depth, an unending breadth of options. Loaves, even
• DDog is my best friend
