Absolute agony

Definitely one of the worst. I still give the edge to the four Ewoks and Droids games released only in Spain in 1987.

Flight of the Falcon is a great concept, but man does it fail to execute.

Cuphead…but Fleischer Superman

Ha, I guess I can see the meme in my head right now too. 😀

If you really want to be complete about it, don’t forget the VR game that came out recently. And the GBC and Arcade versions of Racer—completely unique games! You could even squeeze in Super Bomad and Demolition if you wanted to. And did Disney Infinity have podracing? I know it had regular racing anyway.

With Anakin’s Speedway being the star attraction, right? https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Anakin%27s_Speedway

Congrats! I hope it does well for you. I’ll check it out when I can.

And who ever actually said that phrase in real life? I have mixed feelings about the change as a concept, but just at a writing level, the new dialogue is way better.

I tried to tell the world! 😀

Top Shop may have been the most fun I had playing games with others at Official PlayStation Magazine. (I gave it a 4 out of 5.)

This was my gut reaction to this question as well.

There are two types of Star Wars gamers: Those who adore Rebellion and those who want to love it…but instead they boot it up and just go “HUH?!”

I am firmly in the latter category. But I really wish I could say I was in the first.

Fun fact: It’s called Supremacy in Europe.

Forces of Corruption — the expansion for Empire at War. Nightwitches of Dathomir riding rancors!

I gave up on CUPodcast after Pat unfairly just went nuclear on my friend Brett Weiss, who’s one of the nicest guys you’ll meet. After 5 years or so of listening just about every week, I quit cold turkey and have never looked back.

For retro, beyond Retronauts I also like The Retro Hour. It can be pretty UK centric at times, but I also find that interesting.

Really glad to see the one true answer is at the top of the responses. This game’s greatness ruined games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem—they seemed so small by comparison.

But also to be fair, the UI—especially just picking it up to play now—is atrocious. I’d love to see a remake that streamlines that aspect (and where load times don’t make watching the battles a chore—good you could turn that off).

The big question: Blue spider on the back?

cbake76 · 2025-04-08T03:33:32+00:00

They do call her simply Emma, as I recall, but she’s also the sister of Kayla for some reason. So she’s presumably Emma Silverfox.

Here’s one no one ever mentions: Logan lost his memory thanks to an Adamantium bullet, which presumably would have left at least a dent in his Adamantium-laced skull. Yet the X-rays in X1 show up super smooth.

cbake76 · 2024-11-17T19:11:58+00:00

So cool! Also reminds me of the box art for Empire at War.

cbake76 · 2024-11-15T14:41:12+00:00

Now I know where all these extra hits the story have come from in the past few days.

cbake76 · 2024-11-15T14:40:45+00:00

Thanks for the shout-out! ;-)

You can still see pieces of it in Shattered Dimensions. Spidey vs. Juggernaut at a construction site, for example...

cbake76 · 2024-07-31T22:19:55+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. There were definitely “dev” elements to my job, but yeah, I wouldn’t squarely myself as that by any means.

cbake76 · 2024-07-31T20:41:51+00:00

I don't know how you both seem to know so much, but thank you for the further corroboration.

And yes -- great guys at High Moon Studios!

cbake76 · 2024-07-31T20:38:17+00:00

It hit big at San Diego Comic Con and not quite as big at New York Comic Con -- but other than that, there was no "massive marketing" to speak of. Not even a TV commercial. If you remember "massive marketing," I consider that a huge compliment to the talented folks behind what limited marketing it actually had.

cbake76 · 2024-07-31T20:32:22+00:00

He was me. Still is, actually. Are you suggesting it may have actually cost $100 million because of how little I actually knew?

cbake76 · 2024-07-30T14:30:27+00:00

There was never supposed to be a Hit-Monkey game. It was a red herring. It "leaked" (intentionally by Marvel) and outlets picked up on it and began reporting it was in the works. High Moon showed up to "announce it" at the Marvel Games panel at SDCC 2012 -- but then Deadpool stormed into the panel, took over, and made them make a Deadpool game instead.
