Last three games you bought and how do you rate them.

[Razeak]

Alien: Isolation PS4 9/10 $60

The atmosphere is great as is the AI, sound, music and overall presentation. Contrary to some reviewers who apparently spent all their time in lockers, that's the worst place to be after being out in the open. Get behind stuff and move and it goes a lot smoother with a lot more activity.



Mega Man 2 NES 9.5/10 $20

The control, level design, weapons and soundtrack are all top notch. There are a few cheap spots, but overall this is about as good as an action platformer can get. I grabbed it from a new local retro game shop.



Shovel Knight WiiU 9.5/10 $15

Superb platforming, level design, items, soundtrack and bosses as well as charm make this a contender for 2014 GOTY in my book.



Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare PS3 8.5/10 $10

It's a great value with cool direction, a fresh setting, great soundtrack and a lot of stuff to do. I think the somewhat clunky control in combat holds it back from a 9 or better.



R-Type Final PS2 8/10 $4

It's full of cool weapons and great shmup action and bosses. I scored it on ebay for super cheap.


Mario Kart 8WiiU 9.5/10 $60

Impressive framerates, graphics, vivid color, charming characters, customization, tight control, intense online racing and family fun makes this another GOTY contender imo. If the battle mode and lobby system were better, it would be a 10/10.
